Baja Wedding-Part 2

Just wanted to share a collage of the bridesmaids...

Baja Wedding...

On July 17th, my good friend and "sometimes" associate created a wedding all on her own and I couldn't be more proud.  I helped design the pieces and took care of the flower order but the execution was completely her, EXCELLENT work Jenna!!!

 

The flowers were a combination of purple dahlias, purple mini calla lilies, red roses, purple carnations, purple stock and teal bi-color dendrobium orchids with lemon leaves in the centerpieces.  The theme was lanterns and peacock leaves with various jewel tones, everything was absolutely gorgeous!!!

Beth and Rob were married on July 4th!!!

Beth and Rob were married at the Oceanview room on the Point Loma Sub-Base on July 4th, 2010.  Their wedding was a beautiful mixture of vibrant colors and AWESOME personalities.  I really feel like I really became friends with the two of them and am sad that they live in D.C. because they seem like a couple that would be so much fun to hang out with.  Here are some AWESOME pictures (by Stephina Photography) of such an AWESOME couple...

Beth's bouquet was made from orange asiatic lilies, stargazer lilies, orange mokara orchids, pink mokara orchids and purple cymbidium orchids.

The bridesmaid bouquets were made from pink and orange mokara orchids and simply wrapped with hot pink satin ribbon.

All of the colors were gorgeous and I can't think of a better way to celebrate the 4th of July!

Ben and Leslie were married on June 20th!

Click on the picture below to watch an amazing slide show of Ben and Leslie's wedding, shot by Melissa McClure!

Leslie's bouquet was made from white peonies, circus roses, yellow dahlias, green button mums and monkey tails as accent.  She was such a pleasure to work with and I with her and Ben a lifetime of love and happiness!

Sally with Exquisite Blooms is AWESOME! My husband and I planned our wedding in 2 months and we were on a budget. She worked with our budget as well as made our wedding beautiful! I could not be more happy with her artistic ability and her knowledge of flowers that would really work. Not really knowing about flowers, I gave her the reigns, after giving her our wedding colors -- grey and yellow. She has a great eye and I was so impressed when I arrived at the church to see our beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres. She also delivered our wedding flowers to our ceremony -- our simple yet elegent orchids. Sally is super professional and made it easy to work with her, especially when I had changes that I had to make a couple weeks prior to the wedding. I would highly recommend her for any wedding or occasion!!!!!!!

I cannot thank Exquisite Blooms enough for the fabulous job done on my wedding flowers. Sally was very helpful in selecting flowers that would accompany the ideas I brought to the table and was uber ready to meet the challenge of finding flowers that were not quite at their peak season. All the arrangements turned out so beautiful and smelled great too. I have been to a lot of weddings, seen many arrangements, and have worked with other vendors for friends and events, I have yet to meet anyone with the sweet personality that Sally has to go along with her quick response, perseverance to satisfy the client, beyond reasonable prices, and results that scream Exquisite!!! I highly recommend this vendor and will use her again and again for other life celebrations. Thank you Sally :o)

Yellow and Gray wedding

I am especially in LOVE with the flowers I made for today's wedding.  They are exactly what I wish I would have made for my own yellow and gray wedding but that never happened.  The brides bouquet was a mix of white hydrangea, yellow cymbidium orchids, white gardenia (which smelt heavenly), yellow billy balls and yellow calla lilies.  The stems were wrapped in gray satin ribbon and adorned with beautiful embellishments.

The bridesmaids bouquets were also made from white hydrangea and yellow billy balls but had yellow dahlias and green leaves as accent. 

Of course professional pics will eventually follow but until then I have these for you to look at. 

P.S. wait till you see the boutonnieres!!!  So cute!!!

Pink and Orange Wedding

Jessica and Ian were married on June 20th at the Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church with a reception that followed at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. The beautiful bride wore a Jim Hjelm gown, her mothers veil and a gorgeous headpiece created by my friend Cecilia, owner of vo.cab.u.lary boutique in Little Italy. 

Her bridal bouquet was made from pink peonies, pink roses, orange dahlias, orange roses and orange tulips wrapped in champagne satin ribbon and adorned with crystal pieces to match her headpiece.  

The custom linens and rod iron candelabra centerpieces were from Elegant Events in National City, 619. 427.7080

And of course the flowers were by us, Exquisite Blooms, and each piece was a combination of roses, peonies, dahlia, tulips and freesia in shades of oranges and pinks.

Professional pictures to follow but this is a little sneak peak.
