{ Gavin & Megan :: Tea For Two }

I was absolutely elated when my dear friend Megan asked me to design the flowers for her Southern California Reception. I knew from the beginning that I had her trust which always makes the design process so much more enjoyable for me, and everyone involved.

While shopping for her containers I came across these whimsical "over-sized teacups" and knew Megan would love them. And I was right! Upon first sight of her flowers this weekend she said, and I quote: "They are exactly what I wanted!" Such sweet words to my soul. Thank you again Megan and Gavin for the opportunity to be a part of your celebration. I wish you both all the happiness in the world as you continue your journey together, forever!

{ Colin & Lauren :: Wildflower Wedding }

When I think of summertime I think of rich, vibrant, bold colors. And apparently so did this adorable bride & groom!

Stay tuned for more pictures of the wedding day at Strawberry Farms from one of my favorites, Rachel Thurston. Love her!

I just had to share ONE more image of Dave & Courtney's May wedding from the talented Kris Sundberg. Can I just tell you how great it is to work with friends on weddings? I can always count on some amazing shots. Like this one!

And I just had to share this heartwarming praise I received from the bride after her wedding. Everyone loves a little validation every now and again...

{ Alumni Cocktail Reception :: Balboa Bay Club }

A huge "THANK YOU" is in order to Shannon Keany of Knobbe Martens for allowing me the opportunity to think up these creative arrangements for their Alumni Cocktail Reception held Thursday evening at the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach. I can't tell you how wonderful it is when I ask a client what they would like me to design and they simply say "Just do your thing." Thanks again Shannon, for letting me create outside the box.
