K + M Wedding Part II

Wow, I really kept you guys hanging, didn't I? It was not intentional. Some how the week went by in a blur with 2 weddings, a corporate event and a teething baby. Anyway....more on Kim and Matt's Wedding!!

Ceremony

We hung yellow carnations in vases off of the chairs.

Kim made the most adorable initials to hang in the ceremony. She loves daisies so she used some artificial daisy blooms and whipped them into these monogram cuteness.

Best man let me take a picture of the bout!

I loved the hanging lights and lanterns at the reception!

I'm waiting for some professional picture from the photographer - I can't wait to show you those. Kim sent me a sneak preview of one....love it!

K + M Wedding Part I

I have so much to say about this wedding I don't even know where to begin. The couple is super adorable, their wedding party was a blast and there were so many adorable details that they thought of. They also used a great color combination with yellow, navy blue with pewter accents. The bridesmaids wore navy blue and the groomsmen had on gray suits and the flowers were yellow with cream and ivory accents.

The bridal bouquet: dahlias, freesia, peonies, spray roses, craspedia (billy buttons).

Here is Kim indulging me by letting me take a picture of her with the bouquet.


The Bridesmaid Bouquets: dahlias, roses, spider mums, freesia, and daisies!

The groom's bout: craspedia (aka billy buttons) with lavender, kermit mum and freesia accents.

Mom's corsage: cymbidium orchids with bear grass loops

Close up of the groomsmen bouts: billy buttons, kermit mums, spider mum and freesia

I snuck a picture of one of the bridesmaids - they were all so cute!!
And I really liked their shoes. These were Rocket Dogs.
Comfy and cute - what more can a girl ask for?

More pictures to come of the ceremony and reception!

S + J Wedding

Stacy and Jason got married here in San Francisco at the Sens Restaurant located on the Embarcadero. This restaurant had a balcony with the most beautiful view of the bay and Bay Bridge. The challenge with this wedding was the tables they have at the restaurant. They're pretty narrow and so we had to come up with something that would look nice on the tables without taking too much room. So we decided to use manzanita branches laying down on it's side accented with some orchids.

Bride's Bouquet with eggplant calla lilies, cosmos and black feathers.

Bridesmaid Bouques: callas, milva roses, cherry brandy roses, orange cymbidiums

C & J Wedding

I was pregnant the first time I met with Colleen. As soon as she told me that she was a pediatric nurse at the hospital I was going to have my baby I knew it was meant to be. Colleen was so sweet - she gave me some tips on which rooms were the best at the hospital.:) She even came by and visited me a couple of times after I had Emmett!

So of course I wanted to make sure that Colleen and Jeremy had a beautiful wedding adorned with Colleen's favorite flowers. She wanted shades or orange and red and plenty of tulips!

And here is a very nice email I received from Colleen after the wedding!

Hi Karen,
I just wanted to write to you to let you know how AMAZING I thought your flowers were! I was a little worried that I might have been all over the place with my ideas or whatever, but you totally nailed it on the head! I was sooo happy with what you made and I got so many compliments on them. I really couldn't have asked for anything better. So I just wanted you to know that and I'll make sure to spread your name around : ) I hope all is well with you!

Take care!
Colleen
