Two Beauties!



I have to delay my big news for a couple of weeks...so stay tuned! It's exciting stuff. Just need to fine tune some things.

In the meantime, here's what an early morning studio session looks like at Flowerwild. Wild flowers, wild girlie! She's quite the little helper and I love her sooooo much.
P.S. 2010 is booking up VERY QUICKLY so I urge you Flowerwild lovers to set up your consultation with us soon! I want to meet you and talk flowers!!!!

Ehiku and Ingo wed - Peanut too!



Some clients are just RAD.( I pulled that word out of an old box from 1993) But it's the darn truth. Ehiku and Ingo were wed in Malibu, cliff-side, then had everyone back to their place for the party. Doing these flowers was so effortless and easy because Ehiku was so relaxed. She completely entrusted me with the design of the whole day.
I should have the professional shots soon...my own images will have to do for now. Love the look of the long terracotta pots down the raw wood tables. Missing these garden roses SO right now.

Featured on Junebug Weddings





Starting to panic as I realize Christmas is about a month away! But there are lots of good things happening here. My little Alice is chatting up a storm and now will say "luv you!" among a myriad of other things. She is currently perusing the pages of the latest InStyle weddings mag, all cozied up next to me. She digs the diamonds.
Speaking of diamonds - check out this jewel of a piece on a wedding we did back in June with the lovely Mindy Weiss. Photographed by JLG Studios. Our new friends at Junebug weddings decided to feature it! Woo hoo!!!! See the posts here and here.
I have some big announcements coming soon so be sure to follow in the coming weeks...

Napa wedding - Images by Jose Villa!




I have been showing you bits and pieces of this wedding for some time now. Recently got these precious jewels of imagery back from Jose Villa. Again, this one is being submitted for publication so I can just give you a glimpse of what we did. Lots of other pretty details to come later. I just discovered my new-found crush on amaryllis. So often I dismiss them as a holiday flower. But they are so wildy beautiful. Everything about this wedding was intoxicatingly pretty. Is that a word? Oh what the heck - you know what I mean.

The Bridesmaids' posies of Apricot Nectar and ranunculas.




Her bouquet....a ruffly twist of charles austin roses with some very unique hebe and coral passion vine finishing it off.




Vivid bouts.





The reception. Oh la la ths place is booootiful!

Flowerwild real wedding - Corinne and Christian



I know I'm supposed to be posting more from Carrie and Jay's wedding at San Ysidro Ranch...but I thought we should have a little intermission. Just received these gorgeous images from Susan Dean. What a talent she is!
This is a smokin' hot couple...and there is a lot of chemistry between them. I so enjoyed getting to know Corinne and felt so honored that she chose us from all the other gifted vendors she was considering. Not to mention, I heard from a number of her family members that she is quite the perfectionist and very difficult to please...and she was totally thrilled with her flowers. Yea!
They married at the majestic Santa Barbara Courthouse. And held the reception at the Biltmore in SB. Love that venue! It is so Old California romantic....looking forward to many more events there next year. Full coverage of this wedding coming soon..
