Exclusive: Pier 48 Spectacular Showcase

Wow, it has been awhile since our last post. We have so many things to tell you about! We have been busy designing for weddings, corporate events and fun networking events like "A Spectacular Showcase at Pier 48" hosted by AT&T Park, Classic Party Rentals and Got Light? The event at Pier 48 last Wednesday night was a great party! We had a fun time seeing our fellow designers work, meeting new people and catching up with friends.

We designed for 3 different sections of the event, French Country, Modern Color and Contemporary Rustic. Here are some shots that we took at the event to share with all of you...we are in no way photographers but we did our best.

 French Country:

Cheerful country arrangements of Icelandic Poppies, Vibernum, Ranunculas, Brazilia Berries, Ladies Mantle and Mini Roses designed in gold mercury glass vases.

A more modern take on French Country with beautiful peach French Tulips, fluffy golden Ranunculas and fresh green Vibernum designed in a footed gold mercury glass vase



Modern Color:

Clean monochromatic arrangements highlighted the tables in this sleek colorful lounge area.
Monochromatic arrangements of blue Hydrangea, yellow Callas with yellow Acacia and fire orange Mini Roses. All were connected together with strips of variegated green flax.
Sleek end table arrangements of deep purple Anenomes and deep purple Lisianthus designed in modern brushed stainless steel vases.


 Contemporary Rustic:

A sculptural centerpiece of sandblasted Grapevine with deep plum Callas, Sterling Roses, Succulents and accented with strands of lime green Bullion wire.
Clusters of gold mercury glass votives surrounded the centerpiece for a touch of warmth and sparkle.
Place settings were accented with deep plum Ranunculas and deep purple Anemones to add a soft texture and a pop of color against the white china.


We hope these inspire you.

Real Wedding: Marie and Todd

We had the pleasure of working with Marie and Todd for their October wedding at Paradise Ridge Winery in Santa Rosa. Well we didn't see Todd till the day of the wedding but we new that he really likes succulents. It was great to have a bride that had everything under control and organized with a sweet personality, Marie was more than great to work with through the entire design process.

It was a simple and elegant wine country wedding with textured flowers and rich fall tones that Alison Yin Photography captured beautifully in her images.

Love how one of the groomsmen is mid-air in this picture.

Rich bouquets of dahlias, toyan berries, ranunculas, succulents and callas.

These two are so cute that we had to include this picture.


The image on the left shows the giftbook table wine glass arrangement that we designed in a terrarium style using callas, croscosmia, succulents and toyan berries.

The simple and romantic centerpieces were lanterns the bride provided that we adorned with dahlias, succulents, cymbidium orchids and toyan berries.

Totally cute and fun cupcake display from the wonderful Kara's Cupcakes, that we accented with pops of burgundy dahlias and green succulents.

Such a breathtaking view we had to share it with you.

We wish Marie and Todd a long and happy marriage!

A big thank you again to Alison Yin for the images.

Real Wedding: Kate and Matt

We got to work at the beautiful Chateau St. Jean in Sonoma last month for Kate and Matt's wedding. The wonderful Shannon of Shannon Leahy Events planned and designed this wedding, bringing us in to design the florals. The look was to be rustic yet romantic and elegant which was captured beautifully with assorted clear vases and wood boxes for the centerpieces. The photographs from Leila Brewster Photography capture the soft beauty of the floral arrangements and wedding perfectly. Here are some teaser pictures with more to come. Enjoy!

Real Wedding & Engagement Party

Real Wedding: Jenna & Scott

Jenna and Scott got married on June 10, 2012 at the unique Vintage Inn located in downtown Yountville, California. The wedding took place outside on the lush green lawn in the Grand Pavilion, which was surrounded by stone walls and rose gardens. The reception dinner that followed was inside the Historic Barrel Room that had deep red brick walls and stunning wrought iron chandeliers. The theme we had in mind for this wedding was elegant and romantic, along with many shades of purple and touches of green and grey.

We created a custom chuppah that was lined with phalaenopsis orchids, campanulas, lisianthus, and cool water roses.


We provided the candles that illuminated each of the tables creating a romantic dining experience.


The tall table centerpieces we designed had phalaenopsis orchids,purple hydrangeas, and tall branches that were strung with purple ribbon and elegant votives.

The wedding cake was provided by Perfect Endings of Napa Valley.


Engagement Party: Leslie & Josh

Leslie and Josh celebrated their engagement on June 9, 2012 at a private residence overlooking the vast San Francisco Bay. We wanted to keep the theme for the party casual and comfortable, yet very elegant. We decided on a color palette of white and green florals, accompanied by eggplant and kiwi colored linens. The combination of the spectacular view, vibrant linens, and abundance of flowers created a  picturesque, and one of a kind, engagement party for both Leslie and John.


The table centerpieces were composed of fluffy hydrangeas, delphiniums, avalanche roses, white peonies, and green parrot tulips.



The bar area was surrounded by a tall arrangement of vibrant white orchids and fluffy hydrangeas. The adjacent cocktail tables were dressed with white peonies in a square glass vase cornered by small glass votives filled with water.

The elegant tall centerpieces inside the home had white peonies, green viburnum, and white larkspur which added even more height to the piece.


We were so thankful to provide floral arrangements for each of these lovely events that turned out to be spectacular. If you are interested in our designs, please do not hesitate to get in contact with us!

Press: Farmhouse Chic Wedding on Style Me Pretty

We are so excited to see one of our wedding's on the main blog of Style Me Pretty once again! The wedding of Christine and Kevin was so wonderful to be a part of and the venue, The Carneros Inn, was as beautiful as always.
Image provided by Tiny Dot Photography
The color palette felt so effortless and chic with soft pinks, cream, white and grey with pops of cranberry red throughout the wedding. The use of hanging glass bubbles filled with orchids or ranunculas from thin sheer ribbons, different shaped vases for the cocktail hour decor with cranberry red ribbon ties, birch lined vases in the reception and a custom made 3 tiered birch cake complimented the contemporary yet rustic design aesthetic of the Carneros Inn.

Inspiration: Escort Card Table

It is all in the details...I bet you have heard that one before and it is true.The perfect place to start is the Escort Card table display. This is one of the places for your wedding that you can be really creative and go all out with your wedding theme. Getting really creative and being original with your Escort Card table display has become the trend and here are a few examples to give you some inspiration for what to do on your special day.

Contemporary Chic Wedding:
Fuchsia and Wine Carnation Monogram Escort Card Display
Frame filled with burgundy carnations and yellow carnation pomander balls with framed escort cards
Crisp wheat grass filled white boxes to display the escort cards. Copper curled wire served as the escort card holder adding a pop of color against the fresh green.


Elegant City Wedding: 
Olive tree with hanging cards from ribbon and sandblasted manzanita branches with hanging glass bubbles of orange and yellow poppies
Vibrant orange, yellow and fuchsia rose petals covered the entire table with the escort cards placed on top of the bed of petals. Each card was accented with a small orange marigold to add another texture to the display.

Rustic Wine Country Wedding:
Custom made boxes lined with moss and adorned with grapes, grape vines and white dahlias. Escort cards were secured in custom wine corks with the couple's names.
Custom designed easel and board made with birch, mossy branches and wrought iron. The base of the display is adorned with moss, pine, birch and local greenery for this wedding.




Escort cards were placed in corks that were pinned into moss, that filled the custom made boxes. The boxes were wrapped with birch bark and adorned with wine grapes and champagne grapes
Rustic Garden Wedding:
Sweet white pales each filled with one type of flower in the colors of the wedding, these then became the centerpieces.
Small mason jars with either a fuchsia peony or fuchsia bloom of hydrangea and the cards were attached by a navy, chartreuse green or light pink ribbon to show the caterer what they will be eating. These mason jars were placed on the guests tables once they sat to enhance the centerpiece that was already placed.
Escort cards were hung from sandblasted manzanita branches with satin ribbons. The base of the branches were covered with a lush arrangement of peonies, stock, freesia, garden roses and orchids. To make it easier for your guests if you wedding is large use multiple branches and separate the alphabet in sections like we did for this wedding.

Whimsical Wedding:
Fun and unexpected! Fashion themed wedding where we custom built this structure to look like stacked spools of thread. Yarn was used to represent enlarged thread and to give the spools color and texture.
If you don't have a theme for your wedding you could do a original display with something that you love. This couple loved chocolate so chocolate chips seemed only fitting and a fun touch to add to the table. The chocolate chips offered a contrast between the white cards and the white table cloth. Make sure it is not too hot on your wedding to do something like this otherwise you will have a chocolate brown table cloth!
