Spring 2010 Color Forecast / Sacramento Wedding Flowers Florist


I love to find out what the upcoming colors will be. Pantone is of course a leader in color forecasting. So, what do you think about these colors? What is your favorite? I really love them all, but the Tomato Puree (really, you gotta see it!), the Turquoise, and the Aurora (uhhh..not necessarily together,hmmm. maybe?) really call to me as colors. But I love the others as well! Mmm..the Eucalyptus!!! Check it out! And visit MY website at : http://www.aspecialdaydesigns.com/

Backyard Wedding / Sacramento Wedding Flowers & El Dorado Hills Wedding Flowers


I was so happy to help Mom Kristen with her gift of wedding flowers to Melissa and Chris. She had a definite budget in mind, and I was able to help her afford this wedding arch spray by increasing the foliage (don't you love the lacy plumosa fern, with the organic-looking lemon leaf?) and tucking in some matching sheer ribbon.

Melissa and Chris had a lovely backyard wedding at grandmother's house in El Dorado Hills. The arch was already set up and the moms had decorated it with white tulle. There were about 5 round banquet tables, probably to seat up to 40 people, and Kristen had decorated them with pillar candles, glass hurricanes, and rose petals. The cake was set up indoors, and I decorated it with red roses, stephanotis, and white spray roses. Melissa's bouquet was a classic red rose and stephanotis hand tied. The guys' bouts had an industrial/zen look with fern wrapped in wire. The grandmothers were hip with my new flower brooches instead of corsages - they have an easy to pin brooch back.

My dear readers, weddings don't have to be $20k to be lovely and meaningful. You can have a small wedding with close friends and family and it can be wonderful. Before I left, Texas Back Forty delivered the food...folks, they make seriously delicious food, and I'm sure those guests were happy! If you are on even a smaller budget, do a potluck, or finger foods that are not temperature sensitive, and have friends serve, or hire a couple of servers...

This is a reason to be honest and upfront with your vendors regarding your budget. Kristen told me how much she had to spend and I came up with ideas to fit her budget. When you go to a florist and play games about the budget, nobody wins....the vendor doesn't know what the target is, and may quote a lavish wedding, and you have a $500 budget. By telling your vendor upfront what the budget is, they can get their creative thinking caps on and come up with something lovely for you. Otherwise, you and they have just wasted a lot of time and energy on something that wasn't realistic in the first place. You don't have to worry about that with my new website, however! Get a sneak peak now for Sacramento & El Dorado Hills & Lake Tahoe wedding flowers. It's not completely done, but it IS open for business!

Kristen, thanks for giving me the opportunity to create flowers for Melissa and Chris, and to be your El Dorado Hills Wedding Florist! And visit MY website at : http://www.aspecialdaydesigns.com/

Do you have a rain plan??? / Lake Tahoe Wedding Flowers


Yesterday was Victoria's wedding day! She chose a gorgeous venue, the PlumpJack Inn at Squaw Valley, Olympic Village, California (north Lake Tahoe region). I was anxious all week, watching the weather reports....thunderstorm activity all week! In fact, the Lake Tahoe region has been heavy on regular thunderstorms since May...pretty unusual since I've been in this area, almost a decade now. Victoria's ceremony and DJ area was set up on the patio outside, with the reception seating, bar, and slide show indoors. Apparently, it thunderstormed prior to our delivery arrival...and was just lovely at ceremony time, with a soft breeze, and low 70s weather. After the ceremony, as we were headed out, there was a rumble of thunder and it was getting overcast. Do you have a rain plan?

More photos will be coming...but here is a teaser...pretty little pots all in a row. Look at how they pop! I chose to put different pink flowers and foliage in each pot. They really made a difference for this aisle. You can see your color choices in an earlier post. Spray on the arch in the background. And visit MY website at : http://www.aspecialdaydesigns.com/

Rose Petal Power! / Lake Tahoe Wedding Flowers Florist


Victoria is deciding whether to choose hot pink rose petals for the base of her venue-provided candelabras, or to go with mixed color rose petals. I charge much less for the mixed color rose petals as my vendor charges me much less. For a specific color, I have to actually buy roses in the color that you want. The bag of mixed rose petals that I buy from my vendor is equal to approximately 75 roses, or three bunches. So Victoria, here is a collage for you. On the top row, first and second on the left, are mixed rose petals on the sand table and on the sweetheart table that I decorated for Beckie's wedding two weeks ago. The other photos are ones I found on the internet with hot pink rose petals.

An Inspiration Board for Cassie in Coral / Sacramento Amador County Wedding Flowers Florist


Cassie is getting married in September in a lovely outdoor Amador County location. She is looking for simple and classic flowers with clean lines in coral and salmon tones. I think that her rose bouquet will be lovely and colorful, and she's chosen chic white carn tight streamlined maids' bouquets (minus the black wrapping in Martha's photo). Mono-color mounded centerpieces of seasonal flowers will be in brown metal rental urns. Prices are based on the Seasonal Flowers Collections. Cassie, this inspiration board is for you!

How about a pretty little vase? / Sacramento Wedding Flowers Florist DIY Bulk Wedding Flowers







Victoria, for your green and pink wedding flowers, here's another idea: the pretty little vase from cathywraps! The paper covering the little pot is recycled, so it's eco-friendly. And, I like to use these as chair decor or pew decor, so you can get double the use from them, by bringing them into the reception. I just love these! They are very reasonably priced, and don't take a lot of flowers to fill them. Cute for flower girls, too. Let me know if you are interested in them, and I can get them for you (brides not in Sacramento area, I do ship!). They come in different colors, and have different coordinating prints on each side!

Streamlined Pink & Green / Sacramento Lake Tahoe Wedding Flowers Florist



I loved the look of these images that Victoria forwarded to me before we met for our consultation that I had to put them together into an Inspiration Board. I love the mono-floral and duo-floral, streamlined, organic look of them - the grass, the twigs, the rocks, the glass, the moss, the terra cotta, everything. I just wanted to share this great Pink & Green look with you - and this is a great example of how to show your florist the look that you are after. I see the colors, I see the style, and I can offer other suggestions too. This look will definitely fall into the Seasonal Flowers Collection...love your style, Victoria!

Update after the wedding: Victoria DID use those cute little escort carts on the lower left....they were cool!

A Real DIY Wedding - Stacey & Eric are Married! / Sacramento Lake Tahoe Wedding Flowers Florist


What a beautiful indie bride Stacey was! It didn’t snow on her day, it did rain, but she told me that the rain let up enough for her and Eric to get some outdoors photos. She chose lovely green roses, orange spray roses, safflower, marigolds, sunflowers, barn red poms, and brought a vine and eucalyptus from home. To tie the bouquets together, she chose twine for a textural feeling. Even her dad pitched in to help make bouquets, and everything turned out lovely. She added dried lotus pods - which I provided to her - to her centerpieces for an autumn feel. Do you love her arbor? She said that each guest placed a flower on her arbor to show their support of her union with Eric.

Stacey was a great DIY bride. She had a good idea of what flowers she wanted, and asked for seasonal suggestions in her color palette. She didn’t get upset when the green sunflowers she really wanted for her wedding were not available at that time, nor were the brown eyed susans (just a little too late in the season, and not enough advance notice). She rolled with it when it rained on her day and she didn’t let the weather stop her from having a wonderful day. Cheers, Stacey & Eric, best wishes for a lifetime of happiness!

Forsythia Branches photo by Steve Sisney
Here's what's blooming and available in March:

Green as a Theme! Inspiration Board / Sacramento Lake Tahoe Wedding Flowers Florist


Here's some eye candy....with green as a theme, and some of my favorite earth elements...glass, metal, water, stones,vegetation; just add some votives for fire and I'm in love! I like to think of these classical elements as Zen design. It's not frou-frou; it's textural and architectural. I took these photos at the 2008 California State Floral Convention - I like to go every year to see what's trendy and up and coming, as well as see fabulous rock star designers, and take classes. You can create your own inspiration boards, too, with Google's free Picasa software...it does all of the hard work of designing.

Sacramento Bulk DIY Wedding Flowers / Sacramento Lake Tahoe Wedding Flowers Florist

I have added a new service! The purpose of this new service is to reach brides who don’t want custom designed flowers - either they are brides on a budget, they don’t want to get into all of the details of custom-designed wedding flowers, or they might be destination brides. For any budget bride, or frugal bride, I offer DIY Wedding Flowers.

DIY Wedding Flowers - there’s loads of tutorials out there on the internet for DIY wedding flowers. There are even some books available for purchase, but I see lots of how-tos on ubloom, Flower School, and You Tube out there for free. Who should DIY wedding flowers? Budget Brides. Creative Brides. Calm Brides. Brides with family/friends to help. Brides who want a simple, elegant look. Who shouldn’t DIY wedding flowers? Frantic Brides. Impatient Brides. Perfectionist Brides. Brides who want big, huge, over the top designs that will take a lot of time and skill to make and install. Just remember, you’ll need to make the flowers the night before or a few nights before (for a simple wedding, figure about 9 people hours, minimum), have a way to keep them cool and hydrated, and have a way to get them set up while you are trying to get dressed and become the bride that you are!!

I offer a way for you to buy DIY wedding flowers just like the florists do - in bulk bunches. That means that you can order your bulk flowers from me, I’ll go pick them up for you, make sure that they are in good condition, and then you can pick them up from me, or I’ll deliver them to you. The benefit of buying from me instead of online flower wholesalers? My flowers are kept hydrated (in water), and I quality-control check them when I pick them up from my vendor for you. Personally, I would be a very stressed, upset bride if my flowers were to arrive in a box looking dead, with no one local to fix it, right before my wedding. The benefit of buying from me instead of the local big box store? I’ve looked into their floral departments, and it is very limited as to what you can order in advance. You get what you get….whereas, with my service, you order exactly what you want, and I make sure that they are in good condition - remember, it’s only a couple of days before your wedding. There are no do-overs!

I can also purchase your supplies…craft stores don’t carry all of the items that florists use, so I can get those for you too.

Take a crash course in wedding floral design! I’ll be blogging soon about upcoming classes.

What caused me to create this new service? I see a need to offer alternatives to brides. I lost one bride, that I hadn’t even met yet, to the big box store.com because of her perception that they had cheaper wedding flowers. At the same time, a friend told me about her friend who couldn’t find a florist that would do a daisy wedding - she liked daisies, but some florists look down on daisies as being “cheap” - which they’re not, they’re a beautiful flower and what the bride wanted - and the bride ended up DIY wedding flowers. The big box stores don’t offer all the different varieties of flowers and foliages that florists can access.

My prices are on the website, there for you to see.

So please visit the DIY Bulk Flowers page, if you are looking for DIY bulk wedding flowers at A Special Day Designs for Sacramento and Lake Tahoe wedding flowers packages (or even if you’re curious!) and let me know what you think!
