The new cover of Ceremony Magazine San Diego feature our Amnesia lavender bouquet. Aileen thoughtfully created this bouquet so here is her interpertation:
I came upon these unique amnesia roses and fell in love with its luxurious lavender, brown, and green tones. The texture of the petals were so velvety, it made me feel like I came upon a great vintage find in an antique shop. I’m enamored with the wardrobe from The Changeling and wanted to create a bouquet reminiscent of that time period. Dark purples and olive green hues of the pivots brought out the gorgeous color of the roses. Interspersed throughout the bouquet are burgundy foxtails, which makes it look like a rare mink coat that you’d find in your grandmother’s closet from the 1920’s. I add grey toned jewels and wrapped it in a luxurious antique sequin trim to really jazz it all up ~ Aileen

Chic Beach wedding at L’auberge Del Mar
Now it’s time to sit on that comfy couch, kick your feet up, and take in this intimate seaside wedding designed by Aileen. Kelly and Michael invited 40 of their closest family and friends to the gorgeous L’auberge Del Mar to join them on their wedding day. The couple loved the combination of green and white along with a chic beach theme. Exotic green cymbidium orchids and white hawaiian phalaenopsis orchids were the stars in their airy canopy and dramatic feast style table. Vases in various heights filled with Green and white blooms and romantic floating candles lined the table from one end to the other. Starfish and and seashells accented each one of the guests plates. Hotel Coordinator Allison Samson of L’auberge always puts on a flawless event. Special thanks to Bauman Photography for these lovely photos! Congratulations Kelly and Michael!

And doesn’t a bit of bling just make anything better? Here’s a classic white bridal bouquet that is timeles….. ~Aileen
Kinsey and Chris sterling wedding at the Hotel Del Coronado
The Hotel Del Coronado never disappoints. With it’s beautiful red roof turret and historical background, it is a charming place to be wed. Kinsey and Chris had just that; a charming wedding. The ceremony preformed in the picturesque Garden Patio located in the heart of this romantic resort. The intimate reception was held in the Windsor Complex ballroom with a fantastic oceanview. Kinsey selected shades of lavender, amethyst, plum and purple as her main color palette. We introduced a variety of garden blooms such as hydrangeas, tulips, sweetpeas and garden roses. Kinsey carried delicate blooms of stephanotis, roses, and gardenias.
We draped the gazebo with sheer amethyst fabrics and lined the path with an abundance of lavender and white rose petals. The amethyst theme continued into the Windsor complex. We used shantung amethyst table linens and each place setting was finished with a sprig of lavender, just the right touch for a garden wedding. Susanne Duffy of Crown Weddings did a splendid job with the planning of this wedding. All images courtesy of Darin Fong Photography.
