Brunch was being served, a live band was rockin’ the stage and throngs of people were enjoying the sunshine and wine. As the sun started to set and the revelers began to leave, the stage was transformed into the perfect spot for an evening wedding ceremony.

The “Almost Newlywed” game was the icing on the cake that was a beautiful day on the bay.

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…

Everyone loved the flowers that we brought and we convinced more than a few brides that yellow really is a great color for their wedding decor. I especially hope the bride getting married at Disneyland comes to see us about her flowers. How fun would that be!?! 

Here are a couple of photos of our booth – it was an attention hog, no doubt!

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!

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!

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.

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

 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!

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:
