Tiffany blue and brown on the beach

This wedding was done all over the phone. My client called and told me she liked one of my bouquets on empora's website. She says " just do whatever"....Giving me free reign and going by brief descriptions from her, gave me the chance to express floral artistry.
The ceremony was on the beach. To bring in her tiffany blue color, I found seashells that had that hint of blue and rolled magnolia leaves to bring in her brown. The white phalaenopsis orchids brought the whole thing together as they kind of free flowed in the bouquet. It was pretty!
The reception was an intimate party held at Wokcano Restaraunt in Long Beach. It was perfect! The decor here was in dark browns with hints of light blue. We did a series a glass cylinders filled with colored blue water, and I made a structure out of bleached Manzanita to lay across the top of the cylinders for the white phals to stay secure. And you cant go wrong with a runner of seashells.
Congratulations Leonor and Michael!
Marisa- The flowers were outstanding! Thank you for all the wonderful work you did. Wokcano was very impressed with you as well and they told me that they would use you for future venues. Leonor-

Easter Sunday

Empora did the flowers at First Evangelical Free Church for Easter this past Sunday. When you entered the church, I did 2 large glass cylinders and put 1 bunch of forsythia in each. Having the bunch tilt to the side, almost gave it an arch effect for people to walk through as they entered the church. I then grouped some hot pink snapdragons and added bear grass for some flow and a monstera leaf to stop your eye. I really loved this look.

The main stage had 5 sets of 2 glass cylinders filled with forsythia, orange snap dragons, bells of ireland, easter lillies, heather and was accented with bear grass and monstera leaves. Being that the main church is so large, I figured doing the arrangement in groups like this would make the flowers look more substantial in such a large room. It was hot!!! I loved it.

They have a smaller church to the back that is alot more contemporary in look. Since they were having more of rock music here, I decided to do a take off Jeff Latham and do tall squares with big hand tied bouquets of hot pink snapdragons, orange roses, easter lillies, monstera leaves and bear grass. This church had alot of geometrical line so I wanted something very clean and modern.
