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!

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.
