Bold and Bright

Another special wedding for us at the French Estate in Orange. This is the location where I had my wedding reception 7 years ago, and my Dad just got remarried at the same place, only a day before my anniversary! This is his wedding.

The bride carried a lush bouquet of green and white hydrangea, mini mango calla lilies, orange roses and tulips, white freesia, yellow billy balls, orange and yellow ranunculus, and lime green hypericum berries.

The groom wore a simple mini mango calla lilly boutonniere with a detail of bear grass.


The toss bouquet was a smaller version of the bride's bouquet.

This is probably one of my favorite bridesmaid bouquets. It has mini mango calla lilies, amazing multi-hued orange roses, yellow billy balls, kermit chrysanthemums, and ranunculus. Around the edges are large loops of lemon grass.

Fun corsage with a rose, billy balls and bear grass.


The beautiful three-tiered cake made quite an impression with such bold, bright colors. Each tier got it's own dressing of tulips, roses, ranunculus, and billy balls.

Chocolate or Vanilla?




Can't decide between chocolate and vanilla - choose both! A petite bridesmaid bouquet of mini white calla lilies, white tulips, and chocolate cosmos.

Bride's Bouquet



This bride carried a round, hand-tied bouquet of blue hydrangea, white stephanotis with pearl head pins, and white roses. We tied it off with a thick navy blue satin ribbon.

Elegant and Simple Cake




Everything about this bride screamed "simple elegance." This lovely ivory cake with navy satin ribbon banding didn't need a whole lot to dress it up, but also keep it simple. A lush cake topper of blue and white hydrangea, roses, and variegated greens did the trick. The hand-tied toss bouquet on the table added the perfect balance.

High-Impact Centerpieces




For these centerpieces, we used cans in various sizes (coffee cans, soup cans, etc.) and wrapped them with satin ribbon, and then packed them with roses and hydrangea. Placing them on a glass mirror made for a cool visual effect.
