Nov 132011

Friday, November 11, 2011 was a very popular date for couples wanting to have an easy time remember when they were married! All of San Diego was awash with newlyweds and the trend continued into Saturday, the 12th. It was one of our busiest and most successful weekends of the year. The evening of the 11th took us to The Handlrey Hotel and Resort right here in our own Mission Valley neighborhood. The flowers were beautiful and the evening was unspoiled by rain (not to be said for the following day). The staff at the hotel was beyond fabulous in helping us set up, tear down and cover a mistake. Kudos to you all for making our job easier (and ultimately our client happy).

Here is a photo of the centerpieces that brightened up the ballroom…

Last weekend we got to work with some really great couples who had awesome ideas for their wedding flower designs. Check out the slideshow below to get in on the weddings. We were all over San Diego county – Julian, Downtown San Diego and Mission Bay!

We had the pleasure of working at L’Auberge Del Mar this past week and I must take this opportunity to sing the praises of the staff there! The set up went smoothly and everyone at the hotel was very helpful – the bride was thrilled with her flowers, which is always our goal!

Unexpectedly, we were asked return to the hotel to pick up the rented vases and display stands and I had the less than brilliant idea of taking care of this task the eve of opening day at the Del Mar Race Track. We were totally in the way and disruptive during a very busy time and the staff could not have been nicer and more helpful. It was a pleasure working at L’Auberge!

Makeover Magic!

We had a great time getting ready for a photo shoot for San Diego Style Weddings magazine. The first step was to get beautiful for a photo that will appear in a segment called “Faces behind the Flowers”. We were truly transformed by a fabulous makeup artist by the name of Brenda Moreno! You can find her at Young Attitude Aveda in La Jolla if you would like to transform yourself. On the left is the before picture (as if it isn’t obvious!) and on the right is the after picture. I am at the top, Pamela is in the middle and Nina is at the bottom – our trio of fabulous floral designer/wedding consultants!

Brenda did a fabulous job bringing out our best!

My mother has inspired me to appreciate and adore flowers so I always send her flowers to let her know how much I love her. Now that I have my own flower shop, it means even more to me to share our love for blooms, blossoms and plants. A couple of years ago I had a miniature rose plant shipped to her and she has moved that little rose bush out to the garden, back in to the house, down to Texas for the winter and then back up North just last week. I never would have dreamed that a little plant would mean so much to my Mother but I am thrilled that she has gotten so much joy from it.

You can order one for YOUR mother by clicking on the photo!

This past weekend presented an opportunity to work with a bride at the gorgeous Sheraton on Harbor Island. The bride chose orchids and calla lilies for her green and white themed wedding. I need say no more, as the photos will tell all!

The Bride's Bouquet

Â This past weekend, though dreary and a bit chilly, took us to two lovely locations for weddings. The first stop was the San Diego Botanical Gardens in Encinitas. The beautiful garden where the ceremony took place needed just a few touches to make it the couple’s own special place. White rose petals along the aisle and chair decor were lovely in their simplicity.

The bride’s bouquet was organic, colorful and filled with texture. The blue thistle and orange mokara orchids were the groom’s pick for his boutionniere and worked with the brides choice of flowers, green and ivory roses, nicely. The orange gerbera daisies added that extra pop of color which gave it that “wow” factor!

A beautiful garden ceremony site

Our second stop for the day was the Port of San Diego on Harbor Island where a great couple held their ceremony. The wind proved to be a bit challenging but in the end, love conquers all and the happy couple departed to their indoor reception at the Mission Valley Hilton. Here are a few photos of the lovely flowers the bride and groom selected:

Close up - low, red roses. Far away - high balls of baby's breath

Early March took us to Escondido to the California Center for the Performing Arts for a wonderful couple’s wedding. There was a unique twist that even the event coordinator at the Center had notÂ seen before – dinner on the stage! The flowers added to the drama of the scene beautifully as you can see:

October 15th and 16th had us working at the beach in Mission Bay.

Just thought I would share some photos from 2 of the weddings.

The cake was a tower of icing and blooms of white and pink roses.

A lovely setting for a beach wedding

The bride chose teal colored lanterns which we embellished with pink roses and white orchids with streaming teal ribbon.

The bamboo canopy was adorned with an arrangement of white and pink flowers.

Another bamboo canopy at different beach shows a different treatment that is equally beautiful. The bride chose bright orange and tropical designs for the decor.
