{ Bridal Bouquet :: Calla Lilies }

This past weekend I had the challenge of creating a modern bouquet of callas for a bride-to-be. I say challenge, because we did it all on a tight budget. I guess this just proves that beautiful doesn't have to be expensive!

{ Flowers :: white mexi callas, lily grass, camellia leaves }

{ Phil & Jenni :: PART I }

Look what I found!!! It's the first installment of photographs from Phil & Jenni's Garden Wedding. How exciting! That Andrea Filio is simply inspiring with a camera in hand. Don't believe me? Just take a look at the first batch of images she shared from the happy couple's picture perfect day. Can't wait for more...

{ Bridal Portraits :: Mission SJC }

You've seen her Wedding Album, now take a look at her Bridals. Wowzers! Talk about a beautiful bride. Back in March I had the pleasure of designing a blushing bouquet for Maryann's bridal portraits at the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano, minutes from the home I grew up in.

For the bouquet Maryann pretty much gave me creative reign. Her only specifications were that it was soft, pink, and feminine. To complete the request I decided on a handful of fragrant freesia, half a dozen mini callas, a bundle of pure white sweet pea, and garnished with a few cymbidium orchids. Mission accomplished!

Now check out the amazing photographs by the incredibly talented Kamee June. Thanks again Kamee for knocking our socks off! It's always so nice to see my work in such a beautiful light. To enjoy more of her photography, click HERE.

{ Bryan & Maryann :: The Wedding Album }

You've seen a few of THESE flowers before, but not like this my friends! The talented Kamee June knocked my socks off with her gorgeous photographs of the Hadley's wedding day. It probably helped a little that Bryan & Maryann are so ridiculously good looking and make any picture amazing! Just look at them. So in love! To see more incredible wedding day photos click HERE.

{ Phil & Jenni :: Sneak Preview }

The wedding photos are coming! I promise! I ran into the photographer Monday night and she let me know that the photos would be delivered to the bride and groom that night, which means...I will have some exciting pictures to share real soon! While we wait, here's a sweet something to wet your palette.

{ Wild Flower Easter Egg Arrangements }

For years I've wanted to try my hand at these cute little Easter egg arrangements, and now that everyone in my family is over the age of dying and hiding eggs, I thought it time to make something happen.

Don't you LOVE the way they turned out? I love that they cost me nearly nothing! I simply used a carton of brown eggs from the local Farmer's Market, some spring blooms from my parent's yard (with a few ranunculus thrown in from my weekend excursion to The Flower Fields), and placed them atop some mercury glass candle sticks for an oh-so-pretty centerpiece. How lovely!

I hope you all have a fabulous Easter, surrounded with family, friends, and the things that matter most. Like pretty flowers, of course! Happy Easter everyone! See you back here real soon.
