Veritable Valentine

Welcome to Jenny & David's swanky celebration of marriage! Takin' you back in time to the day of love...

Jenny loves the spectrum of grape to regal purple anemones and classic red roses- a modern and bold combination, only improved upon by the bitty crystaline glamour and clean ivory ribbon wrap.

The Bride & her ladies! Lookin' fab in the sun sippin' champagne!

We love our pretty personals- boutonnieres and corsages in our signature vintage wooden delivery boxes.

David, our stylin' groom- such a sweetheart, he even ordered fresh tulips for Jenny to be delivered in the morning as a special surprise!! xo!

Did I already mention that I love the oversaturated light of these pics??

That and the wide aisle of soft white rose petals :)

Manzanita branches and white phalaenopsis, dried hydrangea and red roses in tall glass create a contemporary, windswept feeling space for the ceremony.

Thoughtful single rose stems for their mom's...

Honestly, this pictures is an homage to the officiant's cowboy hat. So authentically Texan.

David & Jenny are true romantics at heart and wanted their Valentine's Day celebration to be a lovely day not just for them, but all of their guests. So we went all out!

Petals and roses galore, and there was no stopping us with the candles!

Look at this mountain of petals for the cake!! It was so amazing!!

The Grand Finale!!! Sparklers Forever!!

Thank you to Studio Castillero for the images!!

& Krista Cremidan for the ever-so-helpful coordination!

I HEART Liz & Greg!

This is Liz :)

& This is Greg :)

& This is their wedding...

Wildflower style and all locally grown~ orange leucadendron and yellow acacia blend with bright purple statice and pink sweet peas.
Liz's mom's wedding dress lace wraps around her purple satin stems.

Have you ever seen such a look of sheer joy?! xo!

Bridesmaid bouquets of green dianthus with kicks of sweet smelling pink peas and more orange leucadendron against their grape dresses.

The ocean themed stationery was so unique and oddly pretty- octopus tentacles drape over the tented name cards..

..while ocean amulets adorn the table assignments.

Pin Cushion Proteas and skinny grass submerge in cylinders of water.

New varieties of locally grown Pinwheel Proteas spark up the tables.

Dinner with a view over the Pacific Ocean seemed only appropriate for this surfer pair.
Happy happiness to you two!

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!

Nature's Texture

Christy's flavor for organic movement in the flowers, earthy colors, and stylized beauty was a story told best by her flowing bouquet of hellebores, orchids, fiddleheads, lisianthus, dahlias, and berzilia...

Contrasting simplicity of the Bridesmaids suited their royal purple dresses- papyrus flairs out around baby succulents, hydrangea, orchids, and lisianthus.

Outdoor decorations were simple clusters of kiwi branches, equisetum, lisianthus, and berzilia along the railing above their ceremony.

Table centerpieces of glass vases wrapped with variegated leaves surrounded by flows of polished river rock...

Hydrangea, dahlias, thistle, cymbidiums, coneflower, creamy coffee berries, strawflower, sew shades of blue, indigo, green, white, and pops of orange into the lovely Loggia Room at the Prado Balboa Park.A favorite flower for the couple and their family- Birds of Paradise- true to San Diego as their destination wedding location, adorned the cake with pizazz :)

Christy & Philip were one of the most enthusiastic couples I have ever been blessed to meet, so designing their wedding was an absolute work of artistic gratitude :) I wish them many, many years of happiness.. xo

Thank you to Aaron at AS Photography, I heart AS Photo!!

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.
Cutie pie enamored by purple rose petals along the aisle :)

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.

Dancing the night away downstairs, Lindsay & Jeff's cake was revealed center stage- brilliantly colored orchids accented the tiers with the intricate icing details and bling topper!Fantastic coordination as always by Swann Soirees!
