{ Tommy & Amanda :: VINTAGE CHIC }

While sorting through my client folders today I came a across the notes I scribbled down at Tommy & Amanda's initial wedding consultation. With reference to the overall wedding style I wrote in big, bold, letters: VINTAGE CHIC! And after looking at these photographs of her beautiful bouquets and things, I think we hit the nail on the head!

To me this bouquet encompasses the classic, yet vintage look the bride was going for. And luckily she agreed! Upon first sight she exclaimed, "I'm OBSESSED!" Music to a floral designer's ears!

And yes Amanda, I'm obsessed too! What a magical wedding day it was! Stay tuned for more images of their incredible backyard reception...

{ Mr. & Mrs. Palmer :: The Wedding Day }

My gorgeous friend Adrienne and her handsome husband Colton tied the knot a few months ago and I have been excitedly anticipating these images from their photographer. Well worth the wait, wouldn't you say? Such a beautiful wedding day for a beautiful bride (and groom)!

{ Ben & Emily :: Wedding Flowers }

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of designing flowers for my friend Emily and her HUGE wedding party. There were SEVEN bridesmaids and TWELVE groomsmen! WOW! It was definitely a lot of work, but also a lot of fun designing all those bouquets and boutonnieres.

I love that the bride opted for an elegant all white bouquet filled with tissuey blooms of peonies and garden roses which are perfectly in season and smelled so fragrant! For her bridesmaids she went with a more loose, garden-like bouquet in pale pinks. I love them both!

{ Steven & Kirsten :: Photography Sneak Peak

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: It's always nice to work with a trusted photographer on a wedding. One you know will provide you with beautiful images of your flowers that you can show off on your blog.

Here's a little sneak peak at a few pictures that Kris of Burnt Exposure recently shared of Steven & Kirsten's fabulous wedding day. Enjoy this first batch!

Isn't everything prettier in pink? What a fun combo for a wedding: ballerina pink, Tiffany blue, glitter gold, and a touch of cheetah! It was truly so much fun styling this vintage, carnival wedding for Kirsten and her sweetheart Steven.

And just wait til you get a look at the stunning couple in my next post. They made my flowers look GOOD!

Thanks again Kirsten and Steven for the opportunity to be a part of such a memorable wedding. Enjoy your happily {for}ever after!

{ A Blushing Bridal Bouquet }

What could be more beautiful than a bouquet of ruffled pink peonies mixed with blooming pink ranunculus in the middle of May! I love the fresh, feminine feeling these spring flowers brings! And just wait 'til you see the bride that this bouquet belonged to. Talk about a blushing bride!

{ Nick & Jenna :: The Reception }

One look at that grey sofa and I was in love! In fact, one look at everything at this lovely backyard reception and I was in love. The Marie Antoinette theme was pulled quite well with lots of pinks, creams, candelabras, vintage teacups, sparkly chandeliers, and feathers! Enjoy a few pictures I snapped as I dropped off the pretty arrangements for this gorgeous wedding celebration.

{ Nick & Jenna :: A Marie Antoinette Wedding }

Greetings happy flower followers! I just finished delivering some of the most exquisite flowers for a Marie Antoinette themed wedding here in Southern California.

Jenna, the bride, wanted the affair full of color, romance, and feathers! I think we achieved all three. So fun! So flirty! So Marie Antoinette! Can't wait to show off some photos of the reception...

{ Derrick & Kim :: A Vintage Inspired Wedding }

If you love vintage, then you're sure to love these flowers I designed for Derrick & Kim's vintage-inspired wedding at The Villa San Juan Capistrano. Set amidst the backdrop of Mission San Juan Capistrano and old downtown San Juan, it's the perfect place to host such an event!

Later the next day as I was perusing through the images on my camera when I received a text message from the bride. It read: "Hi Aubrey!!! I just wanted to send you a quick thank you for the beautiful flowers you put together for our wedding. You did an amazing job and everything was beautiful! Big hugs from the both of us!" Put a big 'ole smile on my face!
