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!
