To my delight, Spring is upon us and offering lots of floral goodies. Without a doubt, Spring has to be my favorite season for flowers. Everything is so fresh, vibrant, and fragrant. I love the combination of yellow, white, and grey. It can be either rustic and vintage, or even clean and modern. Here I used ranunculas, cymbidium orchids, billy balls, calla lilies, and dusty miller in that color palate. To complete the vintage look, I finished it with a antique sequin wrap. ~Aileen
It’s so sweet to see small intimate weddings. Janet and Brad had a San Diego destination wedding at the beautiful Rancho Valencia Resort on Valentine’s weekend. I can honestly say that Jan was the sweetest bride. She was ecstatic about her bridal bouquet that Aileen designed for her, which consisted of hand wired gardenias, cymbidium orchids, dendrobium orchids and imported roses and don’t forget the Bling bling brooch. Brad wore a classic gardenia boutonniere (my favorite) and their daughter Shelby carried a smaller version of Janet’s bridal bouquet. What a beautiful family! Congratulations Janet and Brad! Thank you for sharing the photos with us! Photos taken by Paul with True Phtotography.
Here’s a sunny celebration of spring! Yellow roses and button mums take a rustic turn with the addition of honeysuckle, acacia, and twine. Acacia has a long symbolic history and makes the most phenomenal honey. Bright and lovely, this bouquet would make the perfect addition to a springtime or garden-themed wedding. ~Aileen
