Amber and Shaka II

Amber was so sweet to send me some pictures from her lovely navy and yellow inspired wedding. I really loved her colors and her sense of style!

Grace & Paul {9.19.2009}

>> Friday, September 25, 2009 – ceremony flowers, lavender, reception flowers, sage, succulents, wedding flowers

I am back from the "Wedding MBA" conference, where I learned sooooo much. It was great being in a room filled with hundreds of other wedding professionals. I am motivated to start applying the things we learned. Especially in the time management area....lol where they told us to stop with the checking emails constantly. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to break this habit. I love staying in touch with the brides.

Since my internet access at our hotel was, to say the least, horrible! I didn't get to post pictures of Grace & Paul's wedding from last week. Their wedding was held at a beautiful private home in the Los Altos Hills where the back drop of the bay area was just stunning. Zita and Jim's home was the perfect setting for Grace's wedding. The day was pretty HOT, but the infinity pool seemed to visually cool things off (I was tempted to jump in every time I walked passed it).

I am bummmmmed that I didn't get to take pictures of the bouquets, but at least I had the opportunity to take pictures of the ceremony flowers and reception decor. I absolutely loved the way the lanterns and succulents turned out on the kings table!

With the exception of the flowers,Dino Casazza, of Casazza Catering, provided the tables, chairs, linens, umbrellas and just about everything else for Grace and Paul's wedding. His team did a spectacular job! As I was walking by the prep station to move some arrangements around, they allowed me to sample a little bit of the walnut, Gorgonzola hors d'oeuvre thing they were serving--it was so yummy.

With out further ado...or is it further adieu?? With out further delay...here they are.

Ring and John {9.12.09}

It seems much longer now, but John and Ring's wedding was just last week! I totally forgot to post pictures! My schedule has been a bit crazy this past week preparing for a wedding which took place today and squeezing in meetings and consults before leaving for Las Vegas for the "Wedding MBA".

Here are some pictures that I took at John and Ring's reception which took place at the Dynasty in Cupertino. I loved the pink and brown lanterns that they hung all around the ballroom and the cupcake stand that I think John built him self. Andrea a friend of John and Ring's and a former client of mine helped bake the yummy looking cupcakes. I had to exert lots of restraint to keep from gobbling them all up as I was decorating the stand with flowers! The pomander ball I put together for the cupcake stand topper turned out real cute. I wanted to use pinkish button mums, but ended up using some light pink matsumoto asters.

Congrats John and Ring!!
