Darcie and Alex {9.19.10}

A dear friend Karen Pan from New Sunrise Events introduced me to Darcie and Alex. I remember meeting with them for the very first time at a cafe in downtown Campbell. They were the sweetest couple! When we met they didn't know what colors they would be having for their wedding so it made it tougher to talk flowers. As I learned more about them, I discovered that they went to colleges that both had navy and yellow school colors. I thought navy was a great color that wasn't overly used and it went well with a variety of colors, namely oranges and greens. We decided to go with burnt oranges and green which gave the flowers a slightly autumnal look but not too overdone.

Darcie and Alex had an intimate wedding at The Mountain Terrace. Here are some beautiful pictures from their photographer David Gene.





Congrats Darcie and Alex!

Jennier and Marc {9.5.10} Part II

Here are more pictures from Jen and Marc's wedding.


I designed Marc and Jen's invitation and a good friend of ours, Lana, letterpressed them on her very own C&P leterpress. Lana has since started a blog with some of her friends called Covet Collective. Check out their inspiration, finds, and covets here.

I forgot to mention that Jen is a hair and make-up artist. Here she is doing some last minute touch ups before walking down the aisle.

She also made the hair flowers she is wearing! Truly a woman of many talents...did I mention that she can put her legs behind her head!!! hahahah!

Jennifer and Marc {9.5.10)

It seems just like yesterday that my brother, Marc, was married to one of my dearest friends Jen. This post is way overdue, but I am delighted to get to share some of the pictures with you now.

Marc and Jen were married at Dolce Hayes Mansion where they were married in front of 300 guests comprised of friends and family from near and far. As Marc and Jen are the eldest children of their families, and Jen the first of her family to be married, it was really very special for both families.

I've got to say that Jen was honestly the easiest bride I've ever worked with. She only told me that her favorite flowers are carnations and that she didn't really care what other flowers I used. So, I decided to do two types of centerpieces. I went carnation crazy with one type and made a bunch of 15" red carnation balls that sat on top of trumpet vases filled with clear jelly balls.

The other type of centerpieces were of white hydrangea and roses with kiwi branches. Every table was named after a movie or show that Marc and Jen had seen togehter. Jen saved every ticket stub and they were pasted on to the backs of table name cards. We made small kissing balls with live wire coils for every table to hold up the cards.

Their escort cards were bubble bud vases that were also card holders. Carnations were placed in every bud vase.

They had a lovely wedding. But it was a tear jerker! I remember just about crying all night. Good times! Much love to Marc and Jen! Congrats!

Pam and Allen's Wedding Video Trailer {07.10.10}

Lately, I've found myself posting more wedding videos. I'm not sure if I just wasn't paying much attention to video before, or if I have a new love for them! I realize now just how important it is to have your wedding day captured both through still shots and in video motion. A beautifully done video can evoke emotion and bring back the memories of your joyous day and is a wonderful complement to photography.

An example of a beautifully done video is the one that Pam just shared with me of her wedding day, created by the talented Justin Fone of Justin Fone Productions.

Enjoy!

Jenny and Dan's Wedding {10.03.10}

I had the pleasure to work at Villa Montalvo again this past October for Jenny and Dan's wedding. Although I never actually had the pleasure of meeting Jenny, I know that she is super sweet as she wrote me a very nice thank you note after the wedding and just recently shared these pictures that her photographer Chung Nguyen took of her bouquet and wedding flowers! Great job Chung!








I was really humbled that Jenny and Dan were willing to book me as their florist all without even meeting me in person! I did get to meet Dan on the day of the wedding and some of their super nice family too as I was setting up. Surprisingly, I also ran into an old college friend, whom I had not seen for years. Congrats Jenny and Dan!

Tina and Bryan {11.27.10}

Despite the rain, everything was just perfect for Tina and Bryan's wedding. They were married at the Mountain View Buddhist Temple and had their reception at the lovely Silver Creek Valley Country Club. Tina had a gorgeous gown and fabulous red shoes to go with it. Her hair and make-up, done by Maria Chang of PMA, was absolutely stunning. To top it off, I was able to create the hot pink bouquet that Tina had envisioned using peonies, Yves Piaget roses, vendela roses and mini calla lilies. Bryan looked so happy to be marrying Tina, finally after an 11 year relationship, that rain could not spoil a thing. Tina and Bryan were such an easy going and awesome couple to work with. For the last wedding of the season for TJD, I could not have asked for a more lovely couple to have worked with. Congrats Tina and Bryan!
