Peony Punch!

Such a bright summer day deserved a bright palette!

Monnee & Kentson went for a fun, fresh spring has sprung into summer color scheme with all the trim- it was a blast to work with her creative detailing as you can see :)

Bride & Bridesmaids in candy coated pinks and reds with that fresh burst of green, softened by ruffly dusty miller around the edges..

Daytime lanterns reveals their cute colors and floral patterns, keeping the sweet playful theme from top to bottom.

Kentson's boutonniere of candyland pink ranunculus and bursting red hypericum berries..

Flower Girl!! Q-T Pie!! Pink ranunculus and red ribbon streamers can't even compete with her adorable ric-rak adorned dress and big-girl-pearl bracelet, so cute!

Along the aisle, petite mason jars were filled with dahlias, hydrangea, and pink spray roses.

Monnee's 2 bridesmaids carried white hydrangea punctuated by delicious red dahlias in a cuff of silvery dusty miller and hidden pink bouvardia.

For Monnee herself, a fluff of pink peonies in every shade with their ruffly petals and pink ranunculus to boot!

Adorable Ring Bearer pillow and bitty boutonniere of fuzzy green dianthus and a pink ranunc.

Groomsmen & family were doted on with blush dendrobium orchids and red berries.

One of those cute details I alluded to... Super sweet vintage lunch tote in suitcase style to hold memorabilia and love notes signed by guests for M & K.

Precious rose blooms potted in biodegradable coir pots put together by Monnee and her friends- DIY at it's best.

Love under the evening lights in the tent at Orfila Winery..

I just want to say Well Done xo! to Monnee for taking a palette and expanding its potential beyond what others might have imagined belonged only to Valentines or Christmas. Truly, the sweet colors and freshness make her lovely vision work very well. In addition, she is a lovely person to know- You can read her blog and see more photos of the whole process and day, as well as life beyond the wedding here~ Pink Argyle http://pinkargyle.blogspot.com

Little girls need adorable accesories, too! Flower and ribbon streamer wands they waved while walking the aisle ahead of the ladies.

Detail shots of the many boutonnieres and corsages, given as tokens of appreciation to the many family members and sponsors.

The Mother of the Bride had such a lovely champagne tweed suit set, the textural fabric and fringe was fabulous!

Fragrant bouquet of garden roses and sweet pea for the Virgin Mary.

Decking out the ballroom with blooming dogwood branches, anemones, peonies, and hydrangea- an exuberance of spring into summer.

I love a tall cake! Not too many flowers though- just a few ranunculus around the rims and a bow at the top. I didn't want to cover up that glistening glittery frosting, it was seriously sparkly!

Congratulations to Chantel & Anthony, looking too cool for school ;)

Crystals, purple, and pearls.

Lindsay's bouquet was a real stunner- beautiful composition of peonies and cymbidiums with their individual petals pinned with pearls to create a rounded shape, showing off the crystals sparkling in their midst.

Her bridesmaids picked up where the fuchsia left off- tones of deep grape purple and citron green in scabiosa, dahlias, vanda orchids, baby hydrangea, and amnesia roses.

Lindsay & Jeff's wedding cabana was lightness and romance in sweeping sheer fabrics.. crystals dangling with orchids in the sun, on the bluffs of Seagrove Park in Del Mar.

The happy couple!

Cocktails, toasts, and dinner were enjoyed on L'Auberge's rooftop terrace.. table centers of purple orchids and dahlias, crystal ice and glass baubles with candles galore.

Hot Fun

Holly & Jason flew in all the way from windy Chicago to be happily married at the classic La Valencia in La Jolla..

Focusing on a love for bright, fun colors that evoked the vacation feel of their San Diego destination, we found playful snapdragons and cymbidium orchids wrapped well in pink flax leaves.

Holly's bouquet was a soft, feminine spin on the color scheme- ruffly white nerines and ranunculus combine with blush garden roses and peonies with their golden centers.Jason was a great sport, allowing complete creativity with the boutonnieres, so we had a ton of styles to show off with their coordinating ties!
Orange mokara blooms and seeded eucalyptus in lime ribbon...
White mini-cymbidiums with fuchsia spray roses...
And for the groom himself - a green cymbidium and ruffly nerine to match his bride.
Table settings of hot pink coxcomb, gloriosa lilies, lime green hydrangea and spider mums all tied up in our signature equisetum and an orange satin ribbon.
An orange orchid for each guest to color the table around a vase of hot pink and coral roses with pin cushion protea.
We love making our Bride & Groom feel special with an extra touch :)

And the fun cake of winding branches dotted by sugar orchids, fresh spray roses & gloriosa lilies in a bed of petals..
