Misoo Kim and Sung Chul Shin {11.21.09}

A good friend of mine from highschool, Teresa, told me that her friend Misoo would be calling me to discuss her wedding flowers. When she told me that Misoo's wedding was only a month away, I think my jaw dropped. When I met Misoo, she knew what she liked and didn't. She also let me be creative and just let me have at it so long as I stuck with burnt oranges and brown. I love how her bouquet came out and especially love the altar arrangements where I used vanda orchids and burnt orange football mums.

Misoo and Sung Chul were married at the Church of the Ascension in Saratoga and had their reception at Freedom Hall and Gardens in Santa Clara. I did one of my first weddings at Freedom Hall so it was hard not to be nostalgic. I didn't get to see much of the venue (I didn't arrange any of the reception centerpieces, but just dropped off pieces that were to be re-used at the reception) but from what I could see, they did a lot of renovating since then and it looks great.

Congrats Misoo and Sung Chul!

Kristy and Jimmy {11.14.09}

When I first met Kristy and her mom for a consultation over the summer, Kristy mentioned that she wanted orange flowers and that her primary color was navy. I remember thinking "orange--you had me at orange"! Needless to say, I really enjoyed working with Kristy. She was one of the most organized brides I have worked with yet.

Kristy and Jimmy were married at the beautiful Stanford Memorial Church and had their reception at the Garden Court Hotel in Palo Alto.

Congratulations Kristy and Jimmy!

I <3 Orange

Those who know me know that I LOVE orange! I had some extra flowers after a wedding over the weekend and couldn't help but put together a grouping of orange floral arragements in various glass containers. My favorite one is the orange tulips hanging off the side of a cylinder vase. It was easy to do and oh so pretty.

Baby Miller

Our dear friends Regina and Jason had their baby shower this weekend. I arranged some orange and green centerpieces for them to go with their oh-so-cute decor. Their sisters, Jennifer and Catherine, did such a great job putting everything together. I totally "heart" the little blue gum ball machine favors!! Congrats to Regina and Jason on their impending bundle of joy! We can't wait to meet little baby Miller.
