Art Deco Wedding Day at Rancho Bernardo Inn

Sweet couple moment photographed by Amy Lynn

Understated elegance was what this day was all about.  A stunning garden courtyard was the perfect location for an intimate ceremony with an art deco backdrop.  The wedding party then moved into one of the ballrooms at Rancho Bernardo Inn which we decorated with candles, elevated candelabras, and delicate bud vases each holding their own selection of textural blooms.

Detail bouquet shot showing all the delicious ingredients - Dusty miller, hellebores, pokeweed, astrantia, veronica, mint, dahlias, matricaria, and Juliet roses.

Darling Wedding Day at Darlington House

Delicious display provided by Sweet Cheeks Baking Co.

Such a lovely day working with some of my favorite vendors at this sweet outdoor wedding in La Jolla.  The Darlington House is such an elegant and intimate venue.  I love every chance I get to flower up their amazing grounds!

The photos by Fog and Dawn came back beautifully! Such sweet moments and details were captured and there are just so many great backdrops on the property at Darlington.  Nicole George left no detail unturned and added so many personal touches to Katie and Jack's day!

The joy of "I DO!!"

One of the many stunning and textural backdrops Darlington House has to offer.

Shades of Red for Arlyne and Weston

Last year, I was contacted by Arlyne Sanjines (now, Mrs. Bales) to provide the flowers for her outdoor wedding at Secluded Garden Estate.  The meeting we had was awesome and we were definitely on the same page.  I got to know her style really well since she happens to be a YouTube sensation and shares all her favorite style secrets and hints. 

Arlyne in her gorgeous lace dress and Weston looking dapper in his blue suit.  

Arlyne walked down the aisle under the venue's greenhouse arbor.  We decked the top of the arbor with draping lace and chiffon and hanging glass orbs.  A massive floral installation at the vow site held a mix of willow branches, olive branches, king protea, blue delphinium, terra cotta roses, white stock, and lots of other textural details.

She wanted a really warm and eclectic mix of colors with rich marsala as the color anchor and a variety of blue hues and blush to accent.  We brought in the beauty of the natural fauna of the venue and used lots of greenery in deep and sage tones.  This brought so much texture to each area and it was a treat to the eye as you looked around the expansive grounds.

Garland of broad leaves and seeded eucalyptus decked the bar from Sundrop Vintage (who provided all the awesome furniture rentals) and the gorgeous seating chart hand lettered by Louise Letters.

Two different table styles for the guests.  For half of the tables we used matching greenery garlands.  For the other half we used a mix of metal and glass pedestals holding elongated floral arrangements of roses, dahlias, delphinium, gold orchids and banksia, and berries.  Louise Letters provided custom hand dyed table numbers and these fun gold frames.

Her bouquet held a mix of garden roses, thistle, orchids, banksia, spray roses, and a ton of greenery. It was absolutely stunning - look at that amazing bauble ribbon!
