Featured on Brides.com-Joanne and Uy's Wedding {11.13.10}

I was beyond excited to hear that Joanne and Uy's wedding held at the Bridges Golf Club this past November was featured on Brides.com!! Check out their wedding under the "Real Weddings" section here. The couple had a fairytale wedding complete with a horse drawn carriage! For REAL!

Joanne knew exactly what she wanted and described her wedding visions to me in such detail that I could completely imagine how beautiful their day would be. There was a wind factor that couldn't be avoided, so I couldn't quite get the ceremony to look the way she wanted, but nevertheless they had a beautiful ceremony.

The tables at their reception were made up of long and round tables, which I absolutely loved as I got to put together a few different pieces for them to add to the visual interest of their room.

As we were going over some ideas for cake bases I pitched them the idea of using a large glass cylinder vase as the base with flowers around the inside. I'm so glad they decided to go with it as the cake looked awesome!

Below are some images taken by my associate, Marc, but you can check out the rest of the images taken by their photographer (My Day Wedding) on Brides.com. I will post some more images from their wedding as I receive them, but I just couldn't wait to share these.

Congratulations to Joanne and Uy, on their marriage! And I've since heard from them that they are also expectant parents...YAY Congrats!

Moon and David {3.19.11}

Congratulations Moon and David!

Moon and David planned their wedding in just 4 month! I didn't actually have the pleasure of meeting the sweet couple until they day of their wedding, but when I did meet them, they were just as cute and sweet as I had imagined. Their wedding and reception was held at the ultra cool and modern W Hotel in San Francisco. I just love this hotel and their clean and sleek furniture and decor.

It was a rainy day outside, but as soon as you walk into this hotel you forget about the weather and become captivated by the decor elements.

Auey Santos-{Photograffiti by Auey Santos}, took the most beautiful photos of Moon and David's special day and shared these amazing pictures of their florals. I love how she captured the modern style that Moon and David were trying to go for.

Patty and Lam {11.06.10}

I love it when I get to work with a bride who LOVES flowers! I had the best time working with Patty and designing the flowers for her wedding. She is somewhat of a flower buff and was able to pick out and identify flowers in her bouquet and arrangements that most would have not been able to. On her wedding day, I loved that she took the time to step back and appreciate the flowers and the work that went into her arrangements.

Patty and Lam were married at Our Lady of Peace in Santa Clara and had a lovely reception at China Stix. In the months leading up to their wedding, Patty and I met several times. During these meetings, I got to learn that Patty not only loves flowers, but she also adores working with children. She is a total sweetheart!

Patty was kind enough to share some pictures taken by her photographer Jay Nguyen. I love how he captured the all the guys holding the bouquets before they were given as gifts to the girls during the tea ceremony.


Patty loves orchids, so I created a bouquet for her using vanda, mokara and oh-so-lovely hot pink cattleya orchids.


Rachael Myers, of Sweet Tooth Confections created Patty and Lam's fabulous modern and sleek wedding cake. I love the clean lines and details of the cake paired with the soft and delicate phalaenopsis orchids.


Patty and Lam, CONGRATS to you both! Many hugs and much love!
