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.

More Real Weddings coming soon! In the meantime, keep up with Michael Daigian Design on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest!

Memorial Day Weekend Madness

"On past Memorial Day weekends majority of our business consisted of people buying flowers to show respect to the fallen soldiers, but in addition to that now we have so many people celebrating and filling the long weekend with weddings and events"

- Michael Daigian

Memorial Day Weekend was a busy one for us here at Michael Daigian Design, we provided elaborate and beautiful florals for three back to back weddings in San Francisco and for the Stanford Senior Formal.

Here's a just a glimpse!

Real Wedding: Lindsay & Jake

Lindsey and Jake's wedding took place in the historic James Leary Flood Mansion in San Francisco. The keywords the bride wanted us to keep in mind when designing the custom florals were lush, elegant, romantic, unique, and secret garden. The desired color scheme for the stunning wedding was white and green.

Lindsay's elegant bouquet was complete with white garden roses, white ranunculus, white peonies, green succulents, and lily of the valley.

We created a custom 8ft tall chuppah that was covered in lush greenery and white garden flowers creating a romantic look. It was almost as if you were stepping into your own secret garden.

We created five tall centerpieces in glass pilsner vases filled with white blossomed dog wood, lush green ivy, and jasmine. It gave a dramatic and elegant effect to the Flood Mansion dining room.

The simple, yet elegant, white cake was finished with garden roses, ranunculus, lily of the valley, and green succulents. Cake by Living Room Events.

Real Wedding: Marisol & John

Marisol and John's wedding took place at the Saint Ignatius Church and the reception was at The Fairmont Nob Hill in San Francisco. The wedding was set to have a romantic and classic ballroom feel filled with white, red, gold, and navy blue accents.

In the Bridal Bouquet we used white peonies, white ranunculus, white sweet peas, paper whites, and white lilacs.

The Bridesmaid Bouquets were filled with red peonies, red ranunculus, and red piano roses. It was a unique and modern alternative to a classic red rose bouquet.

The escort card table arrangement was full of white delphinium, white stocks, white hydrangea, white blossom branches, and white snap dragons.

We made two large alter arrangements that had white delphiniums, white stock, hydrangea, snap dragons, white blossom branches, and white peonies.

The aisle decor bouquets were composed of elegant white hydrangeas and greens.

The wedding cake was finished with red ranunculus and red piano roses. Cake by Taste of Denmark.

Stanford Senior Formal

The Stanford Senior Formal took place on May 26, 2012 at the SF Winery on Treasure Island. They wanted to create a sense of wonder in the design complete with vibrant purples, yellows, oranges, greens, and fuchsias.

We designed a tall arrangement that we placed on each end of the bar full with wild grasses, allium, and other fun flowers into a tall cylinder vase.

We designed a free standing tall arangement where it looked as though the flowers were climbing up the metal frame.

The designed whimsical wine barrel arrangements that were placed in low cylinder vases.

The illuminated floral arrangements were a hit at the Stanford Senior Formal and gave off the feel of wonder that was originally desired.

Real Wedding: Rachel & Noah --- coming soon

Trending: Cupcake vs. Cake

There seems to be a sweet battle going on in the wedding world these days; it’s a competition between cupcake versus cake. The question we beg is, are these mini, delicate, and dainty cupcakes taking over the large, traditional, and tiered wedding cake?

Cupcakes seem to be the perfect fit for weddings because it is an easy way to allow each guest to pick and choose their own unique flavor and design. However, no one said you need to do one or the other. Why not do both! Maybe cupcakes for the guests and cake for bride and groom?

The more the merrier!

Here is an example of the best of both worlds; featuring Kara's Cupcakes with a small cake on the top tier to have that traditional moment of cutting the cake for your parents and fun cupcakes in almost any flavor imaginable for all your guests to enjoy.
