Crimson Cran & Celery

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!

Flowers in Paradise

Veronica & Anthony were married in the lavish setting of Grand Tradition Estate's new Arbor Terrace Pavilion - tropical and lush, the flowers needed to not compete with the color palette, but enhance the richness of deep green leaves surrounding their wedding... Veronica's desire for shades of warm reds and rust orange with a ton of play in texture turned out beautifully.
Veronica's bouquet of wildly colored calla lilies, dark milva and rouge basier roses, with mocha cymbidium orchids.
The gorgeously relaxed and happy couple..Bridesmaid bouquets of bright hybrid callas and cherry brandy roses in a cuff of italian ruscus.Love the softness of her veil and hair flowers in contrasting combination with her highly textured and boldly hued bouquet!
Table centerpieces of safari sunset, orange dahlias, roses, and seasonal mums in glass squares.
Can you say vivid color saturation point??!! Overdye sunflower with red rosehips..What a fun surprise when I saw Veronica & Anthony Natividad's holiday e-card in my inbox! Love the photo and the perfect play on words :)
Congratulations!
& many many many thanks to
