One of us tied the knot!

In June, one of our designers said "I do!" Michelle and her husband decided on an intimate ceremony in the national seashore of northern California. Even a private elopement isn't complete without flowers!

In the quiet town north of San Francisco where they chose to wed, Michelle found flowers that local farmers sell at the feed barn in town. She also clipped some blooms from the garden of the house they rented (with the owner's approval, of course!). She designed her bouquet and floral crown with butterfly bush, poppy pods, calla lilies, snap dragons, scabiosa, and seeded eucalyptus.

They said their vows under the weeping willow in the backyard and then set off to take pictures. They wandered down to the opening of the bay, adventured into a trail head, and met sunset at an abandoned boat.

 (The husband and wife photography duo of Helena and Laurent Photographer captured the day and were also the witnesses to their nuptials!)

We wish Michelle and her husband lots of love, happiness, and magical moments in their life together!

Chair vases lined the aisle

The ceremony arrangements were designed in white urns, full of lush  blooms and foliage such as hydrangea, roses, dahlias and draping seeded eucalyptus.

The centerpieces were designed in gold mercury pedestal vases. Using similar flowers in the bridal party.

A simple flower order.......

We do a lot of business with our neighbor Brown University so when a single floral arrangement was ordered we thought nothing of it until we realized what it was for. It was for the interview with Davis Guggenheim, an award winning filmmaker and director who was a guest at Brown for the advanced screening of his documentary "He named me Malala", about the 17 year old Pakistani girl who won the Nobel Peace prize for her work advocating women's education in Pakistan.

The following day we had the pleasure of meeting Mr Guggenheim himself and his beautiful wife Elizabeth Shue who stopped by the studio for an arrangement. We happily add them to our customer wall of fame!

The brides lush, textural bouquet in white and green tones with a pop of hot pink. We used lisianthus, hypericum berries, stock, orchids, ranunculus and celosia.
