Nestldown Eco Inspiration Board for Ashley in Peach and Rust / Sacramento Wedding Flowers Florist

Here's a special inspiration board for Ashley.  She and Brandon are getting married at Nestldown, in the Santa Cruz area.  The venue has a very eco, natural, and forest feel to it...which is why she contacted me!  So Ashley, here's to you:

The ceremony location does not need much enhancement.  Hanging flower globes, like these:

Two curly willow tall cylinders for the BACK of the aisle, behind the last row of chairs, like these:

For the bouquets and personal flowers, Ashley is thinking of peach roses, rusty and /or burgundy mums, and leucadendron, like these:

Leucadendron is usually seen as in the top of this photo; but look at how pretty they look with their petals reflexed!

A wood slice for the ringbearer?  Or a moss pillow?

For the reception, three sizes of cylinders on a wood slice.  Imagine, instead of the wood flower, a bird's nest to go with your theme.  The tallest with submerged delphinium and a floating candle; the medium with either swirled peach tulips or twigs (not submerged); and the short cylinder with a short pillar candle.  The delphinium can have several stems in the cylinder, if you'd like it "thicker" than below, for example:

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!
