Wedding of Amanda and Mark

Ceremony and Reception was held at the Ebell Club in Long Beach www.ebellcub.com One of my new favorite venues. I love where the Ceremony takes place with the Spanish feel and the hints of blue throughout the venue.

Amanda's bouquet featured all white peonies with a collar of ivory satin ribbon loops. Yummy! Centerpieces were tall glass cylinders with submerged curly willow to bring in the brown wood tones into the design. The arrangements that sat upon the cylinders featured white hydrangeas, white peonies, ivory roses and other white seasonal flowers. Accenting the pearls strands to all of these designs really brought that romantic vintage feel in.

Weddin of Faye and Vien

I first want to tell the story behind the flowers. Upon the first meeting with Faye, she HAD to have green cymbiudium orchids in her bouquet. Sure!!!....I go to pick up her flowers and that was the one flower that did not make it on my cart. WHAT??? I dont watch TV and am not updated on news, shame on me....but that was when the Volcano erupted and no planes were flying to the US.
At this point, I figured I could just buy a plant. 4 stops and none to be found. Phone calls to other growers and still no luck. I just needed one stem. Faye wanted these orchids and had to find them.
One last phone call to a woman that stopped in when we first opened the studio. I remembered that she had mentioned that she grew all kinds of unique flowers/plants and I gave her a ring. Polly Pon had 2 stems in her yard. They were the most GORGEOUS cymbidium orchids I had ever seen.
Thank you Polly!
The location of the Ceremony and Reception was held at Ponte Winery in Temecula. This venue is beautiful! Awesome Photography was by Kaila Williams at www.kayraephotography.com. Thank you Kaila for the photos. Congratulations Faye and Vien!

Mother's Day!

We decided at the last minute to celebrate Mother's Day at empora. The sign out in front of the studio that faced Brea Blvd. was dedicated to my Mommy. "I love you Mommy" thanks for all your support and always being there. Mommy is the best.
Here are some photos of what we did. From modern calla lillies to a garden flowers in a vase...Happy Mother's Day!
