Back to the bold! Deep dahlias, callas, and cymbidium orchids on a bed of celadon amaranthus...

Bridesmaid Bouquets of purple and citron orchid blooms in tufts of furry green dianthus.

Kate & Randy, so sweet on each other :) Love her dangle earrings with the orchid bloom just above, and the ruffly one-shoulder dress, to boot!

Ribbon streamers, wild willow, and palm fronds, alongside the mahogany bamboo of their ethereal & asymmetrical backdrop...A wooden ring bearer box of shells and cymbidiums.

Major shot of the whole crew- such a gorgeous day out at Sunset Cliffs, my personal home town 'hood of Ocean Beach.

Detail of the altar space flowers.. deep grape lilies and green dendrobium orchids spring from oversize monstera leaves..Hello sweetheart.

What a lovely bouquet you have there.

Time to party- succulents and sea glass with the occasional shell break the mold of traditional table displays.More wild palm fronds, copper sunflower heads, blue hydrangea, lime cymbidiums, and cranberry dahlias on a bed of blue glass add edge to the reception's funky feel.Can't go wrong with a mass of dahlias on top and palms flaring at the cake's base.

Obviously, thank you to Acqua Photo for the pictures!

Love in Ocean Beach

Jayanti & Zach were so happy to have their wedding on the bluffs in San Diego. Planning the whole thing from their snowy home in the midwest, they chose a sweet color combo of pinks, greens, and whites with a Stargazer Lily motif to match their fave flower of choice.

Jayanti carried pink Sorbonne Lilies and white dendrobiums in white hydrangea with a cuff of pink statice & her bridesmaids carried green cymbidiums in white hydrangea with alstroemeria- the pink ribbon on their dresses matched the exact shade of their adorable baby doll dresses.

Groom boutonniere of white dendrobiums and variegated lily grass & Groomsmen to match the bridesmaids, of course.

White orchid stems and pink ribbon to line the aisle with a view...

Family and friends gathered around this long feast table which, by the time they arrived, was filled in with more candles, wine glasses, and a special box of See's Chocolates wrapped for each guest.

Details down the table: Bamboo nestled in spanish moss with cymbidium orchids, alstoemeria and stephanotis blooming out the top & Lush arrangements of pale green hydrangea, pinky peach roses, cymbidium orchids, alstroemeria, pink statice, and Stargazer & Sorbonne lilies.

Now, for the zinger- Check out this ADORABLE cake! The enormous Stargazer on the top is a "glamellia" of sorts- one biggie composed of petals from multiple blooms- it looks wild! Of course, the sugar flowers and sweet details are compliments of none other than Sweet Cheeks Baking Co.
