More woodsy love..

Even though I love to post my un-pro shots right away, I usually can't help but do a second post with the amazing pictures that come in from the many talented photographers I get to work with- so obviously when Pam Scott sent me a link to her blog with the photos of Kim & Gabe I was floored- the colors came out amazingly vibrant!

Gabe's boutonniere of golden james storie orchids and coral alstroemeria.

Kim's bouquet of mixed gerberas, alstroemeria, dahlias, and hydrangea.

The gerbera lined aisle, leading the way...

...and way to show off the arch! I love the close up of how a very rustic wrought iron arch can be so versatile, looking fun and bright covered in gerbera daisies and orange ribbons.

Summertime in the Woods

Kim and Gabe are a genuinely lovely, lovely couple- desiring only the brightest and most festive that summer has to offer, we went straight for the gerberas! All you see is neon amid a lush forest setting at the Mt. Woodson Castle in Ramona. The contrast was awesome, brought together by a touch of chocolate brown...

Going in reverse order for this week's post, we'll start with the fun cake! Flowers would only add to the chaos of that cool pattern, so we kept it simple with fresh blooms all over the table.

You can see what I mean about Neon! Picotee (2 colors on each petal) gerberas in orange/yellow, fuchsia/yellow alstroemeria, orange mini gerberas, and baby green hydrangea..

Pale lemon gerberas with a ring of pink at the center soften the coral and mango shades, and the huge dark green hydrangea foliage is a perfect match to the deep green glen environment.

Sweet vows under our rustic wrought iron arch and a pathway border of bright gerbera daisies growing right out of the grass :)

Close-up pic of the arch shows it's thorough covering of intertwining gerbera daisy stems of every size and color tied with ribbon streamers in orange, ivory, and chocolate. What fun to stand under that on a pleasantly breezy day!

Love in the breeze..

Isn't this a beautiful effect? To be honest, this is a risky move, because if the wind isn't blowing or is blowing in the wrong direction, the fabric won't billow this perfectly. But, for all my beach-loving brides, you can stop looking for a natural, romantic, windswept coastline wedding setting- this is the one to create.
