I LOVE cathyswraps pretty vases! They come in different colors and prints, and they're very reasonably priced. Best of all, a bride can re-use her aisle decor by taking the pretty vases into the reception - great on cocktail tables, the cake table, the buffet table, the sign in table, or as thank yous to helpers. I'm a wedding florist and I use these as they are affordable but look like they cost a lot more! They use a lot fewer flowers than flower spheres or orbs but have a great look. Very hip and modern.

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.
