Sea Blue Stars & Green Spiders

Jeannine & Anthony were married in the adorable St. Agnes Catholic Church in Point Loma & then hopped over to Balboa Park's Spanish Art Village (by way of East Village) for their fun outdoor reception.
The bride and her 2 sisters carried white dahlias, hydrangea, lisianthus, freesia, and dusty miller with a touch of blue tweedia, wrapped in flowing streamers of aqua, periwinkle, & sheer white.
The beach net trapped one of our starfish and a green spider near the Guest Book :)
Vases of flowers and seastars suspended on ribbons around the gazebo bar.
Table centerpieces of dusty miller, white lisianthus, green hydrangea and more spiders in a glass vase wrapped with variegated lily grass.
I love this cake & cake topper!
Smooth coordination by the team of Liz Beck Events &

For the love of berry.

You are in for a treat! This was such a spectacular wedding, from the fresh berry summer palette we planned for a year, to the fun music playing in the Bride's room as we delivered their bouquets..
Jessica's bouquet blended her sweet softness of silvery dusty miller, white lisianthus, and fragrant freesia, with her desire for a more unusual, botanical feel of rare lady slipper paphiopedilum orchids.
Sparks of color start flying with the bridesmaid bouquets- green hydrangea and cymbidium orchids with luscious dahlias in a variety of pink-y berry, natural leaves akimbo.One of the sweetest flower girl captures I have ever seen...
Matt's boutonniere of pearl dotted dahlia bud and white calla for clean style.
Our always tasteful corsages for moms & grandmas.
Welcome to the wedding! Graduated color from deep raspberry petals at the start, to pale pink and white nearer the wedding canopy.
Detail of the Green Goddess calla and hydrangea bouquets on each post of the canopy.The aisle of pomanders also played with the gradient of color, from deep burgundy to white and green at the front.
Moss laden wildflower arrangements of amaranthus, veronica, hydrangea, and of course, more dahlias, in scrolled iron stands.
Time for cocktails! Clean and clear~ white stones, floating candles, and a orchid bloom are all you need when your linens are so pretty!
Escort cards in a fresh box of wheatgrass tied up with citron satin and raspberry garden roses.
Tall stunners of orchids, amaranthus, eucalyptus, hydrangea, and submerged calla lilies fill the room with a lush, natural feel.
Table centerpieces of every yummy berry color pop with white lisianthus and veronica to set them off!To balance the wildflower with clean serenity... love callas in a band of smilax to tower around the room.Yay! for our happy couple!!

Sweet Peas at the Prado


What a lovely setting for our monthly Weddings of Distinction meeting! Thank you to everyone at the Prado, notably Andrea Pena, for coordinating a delicious lunch in the Loggia Room. Amy Wright of Theorie (one of our newest members:)) was on hand to snap the shots- Thank you for making the beautiful colors of our flowers really shine!

Purple sweet peas and fun papaya-peachy-buttery ranunculus in a glass vases set upon a palm leaf and surrounded by river pepples in a mahogany wood tray.

Oh yeah, how pretty is the Loggia Room! Those colors just popped in the soft setting of gold and sea green! And the wall of windows overlooking the courtyard... so nice.

Now we've got the addition of fresh lavender and leucadendron all wrapped in horsetail (equisetum) and an orange satin ribbon. BEST PART.... IT'S ALL LOCALLY GROWN RIGHT HERE IN SAN DIEGO!! Check out the potential for fun and beauty!!

Yours truly on the left, with the awesome Kristie Emmons from Continental Catering and the always fabuloso Elaine Ardizzone from Sweet Cheeks (a familiar name around here :))
