Real Wedding: Carlin & Danny

On July 7th 2012, Carlin & Danny got married in a beautiful tall white chapel at the Church of Nativity, and their reception that followed was at the sophisticated Menlo Circus Club. Each of these locations allowed for one-of-a-kind picturesque wedding; the chapel itself reached 55ft tall with lush red flowers leading to it's entrance and the beautiful Menlo Circus Club had vibrant green lawns and a lavish grand entrance perfectly suited for a wedding.

We wanted the design of the wedding to reflect the elegant country club atmosphere, which was natural, relaxed, yet fun. The colors we chose to stick with in the designs were khaki, white, viburnum green, sherbet orange, and blue.

At the entrance of the club we placed a tall vase which was wrapped in burlap then full of curly willow, green hydrangeas, white roses, white stock, and orange double tulips.

We custom designed a wheat grass escort card display in a low burlap wrapped box with curly metal card holders.  

On the cocktail table that over looked the vast green field we placed three small arrangements of belladonna, freesia, zinnia gerbers, roses, double tulips, and veronica.  

On the fireplace mantle we placed small white arrangements of hydrangeas and stock which were illuminated by the candle light. 

The tall centerpieces that dressed the dinner tables were very similar to the grand entrance arrangement, yet these were adorned with small glass votives. 

The signature drink arrangement was designed to reflect upon the Bride & Groom's grandparents favorite cocktail. 

Butterfly Cakes designed this lovely treat and we adorned it with roses, dahlias, and double tulips.

Real Wedding: Ganya & Sam

On June 8th Gayna and Sam got married at the beautiful Cornerstone Gardens located in Sonoma, California. The venue was stunning, it was filled with pink daisy pinwheels blowing fast in the wind and pinot noir vineyards trailing as far back as you could see. We were lucky enough to work with Gayna and Sam in order to create elaborate and beautiful floral designs that set the scene of the wedding as a beautiful garden party with rustic accents. The colors we had chosen to use in the floral designs included kiwi, coral, sherbet orange, bubble gum pink, blush, white, and peach.

Here are some of the photos we took showcasing the floral designs from Ganya and Sam's wedding:

The bride's bouquet was made up of scabiosa pods, pink lisianthus, peach parrot tulips, green snowball viburnum, and white David Austin roses.

The bridesmaid's bouquet was full of orange protea, orange ball dahlias, peach garden roses, and scabiosa pods.

In order to add a rustic touch to the wedding, we wrapped the votives in burlap and used mason jars as vases for each the table centerpieces.

The two large alter arrangements were composed of pink lisianthus, peach garden roses, white dahlias, white snap dragons, peach parrot tulips, and yellow stock.

We did not design the escort card table, however, we absolutely loved the whimsical pinwheel idea which went perfectly with the pink daisy pinwheels in the garden.

The wedding cake by Perfect Endings was a huge hit! It was so good people came back asking for seconds!

The unique wooden cake toppers were awaiting their close up shot.

Trend: Succulents & Air Plants

Succulents and Air Plants are some of the most interesting plants currently being seen in floral design. Succulents are part of the Cacti family and they are exceptionally tough plants designed to retain water and they do very well in harsh weather conditions. Air plants, also know as epiphytes, are plants that can adsorb their nutrients through their leaves straight from thin air. These unique plants are just a tough as succulents, and they can stand weather conditions from 35-120 degrees!

We have been using succulents and air plants for a while here at Michael Daigian Design, and we have even created a "living wall" in our warehouse, check it out!

Here are a few more ways that we incorporate succulents into our work...
