Trade you my cigar for your dahlia...

Terri & Erik!! These two had such heart and genious style, it was fate that we spoke on the phone late one night and they shared their ideas... I was hooked and here are the results! But first, check the heart-shaped toe peeps on her shoes- so cute!
Love those smiles!!!
Our beautiful bride, Terri with her deep red orchids....
Her bouquet of deep purple & black miniature callas, black magic roses and a multitude of monkey tails! A cuff of bright indigo purple statice and a butterfly brooch finish the details.Stylin' groom Erik with his shades... boutonniere of a single black calla, deep red orchid, and fiddlehead fern.Gorgeous sunny day at the Rancho Bernardo Winery.. garlands of fresh green leaves, black magic roses, and bright red butterflies framed their special moment.So cool! Step 1: Remove cigars. Step 2: Add flowers. Red roses, wine colored dahlias, and purple seafoam statice.. Favors were coasters fashioned from wine corks, two together, neatly tied with ribbon.
I just love the vintage pictures on each of the cigar boxes- no two were alike except for this pair on the Sweetheart Table; each one added a fun punchy flavor to the classic red & black color scheme.
Butterflies being very sentimental to Terri & Erik, the day wouldn't have been complete without a few on the cake. Amazingly delicate, crystalline sugar butterflies flit from tier to tier with the orchids, roses, and monkey tails.
Thank you to Acres of Hope Photography for the awesome captures &
the adorable Krystel of Couture Events for coordinating a perfect day!
