Amber was such a gorgeous bride. She was very specific with her flower selection and color palate request of all white with a touch of light pink and pop of coral. I love using <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/29343835045060057/" target="_blank">"movie star"</a> roses to bring in a pop or coral <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/29343835048745382/" target="_blank">pink majolica spray roses</a> for that light pink (they're so delicate and lovely).

Meeting Margeaux was such a dream! She was an absolutely glowing bride-to-be with so much excitement and anticipation in planning her wedding day. Yet, there was a fun, laid-back attitude about it all. I found much enjoyment in creating the purple and white wedding flowers for Margeaux & Ronnie AND executing the event with some In Full Bloom by MJL coordinating!<br />

Last summer my super-duper-uber-talented friend, <a href="http://www.nicolecookphotography.com/" target="_blank">Nicole Cook</a>, teamed up with <a href="http://amandahollowayphotography.com/" target="_blank">Amanda Holloway </a>(another highly talented woman!) to put together an <a href="http://seniorstyleguide.com/editorial-collective-featuring-amanda-holloway-and-nicole-cook/" target="_blank">Editorial Collective Workshop</a>, as an editorial and fashion style portfolio build for fellow photographers. Nicole asked me to provide her with some floral accessories for the shoot (what girl doesn't like some flowers in her hair?) so here are some of my favorite photos taken during the workshop! </div>

Designing these types of floral pieces is a fun creative outlet for me to do something a little different than bouquets and boutonnieres. I may have gone slightly overboard and given Nicole some extra items for this one! The piece above was a floral crown made mostly of roses and carnations with greenery. <br />

The feather headdress is one of my absolute favorites. I was lucky enough to have a friend give me feathers she had saved from her blue & gold macaw. I glued them onto a leather belt and adorned the side with cotton and larger flowers.<br />

The piece below is another flower crown similar to the one above but with lots more small pink filler type flowers. I love the contrast of the model's dark hair with the blush and peach colors (and how the make-up artist brought that color into her cheeks as well).<br />

I created the headdress below from turkey feathers given to me by a friend who hunts. She had saved the feathers and I think they look gorgeous on Sidney especially with intense dark eye make-up and brows.<br />

The "wing" above is a piece that a friend gave me. They had previously used it to train their dog to retrieve birds while hunting. I thought the wing was quite peculiar when I first received it...but I love the idea of a wing on a shoulder. I'm really happy with the way it turned out adorned with metal chains, a lotus pod, old brooches and flowers.<br />

As I click through the photos, I still swoon over these beautiful peonies, ranunculus, dahlia, rose and succulent centerpieces. Barnwood boxes were the perfect compliment to such elegance creating a western glam look for this bridal shower. <br />

While working out the details of the decor, I had the opportunity to get to know Kim & Christina of <a href="http://www.ciplanner.com/" target="_blank">Cordially Invited Planners</a>. They did a wonderful job pulling everything together for the event at <a href="http://www.rioslovellwinery.com/" target="_blank">Rios Lovell Winery</a> in Livermore. A beautiful chandelier, tulle curtains, a dessert bar and more decorated a gazebo and provided some shade for this bridal shower (held in the hot month of August). A scenic view of grapevines provided a breathtaking backdrop for guests.<br />

First of all, I just love the <a href="http://lasoiebridal.com/locations/sacramento/" target="_blank">La Soie </a>space! Floor to ceiling windows allow so much amazing natural light. I feel like brides-to-be cannot ask for a better space to try on the gown that they will wear on one of the most important days of their lives. <br />

Second of all, this post is incredibly overdue. Yuliya, of <a href="http://www.yuliyam.com/" target="_blank">Yuliya M. Photography</a>, accompanied me at the Red, White and Bridal Event last summer .... well, Fourth of July Weekend to be exact. She was kind enough to share her gorgeous photos from the day so I can give you a glimpse into the event!<br />

I did some florals in barnwood boxes with succulent and cacti with greens and dahlia. I also incorporated old jars and red mercury glass. There were a few various stations set up throughout the store. I also brought in a bouquet that went with the flowers above as well as a tall centerpiece arrangement of baby's breath and rose petals and a intense red arrangement. Which style is your favorite?<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When presented with the idea that Kim & Dave love children's books and would like to have them in lieu of cards at their baby shower we book the storybook idea and ran with it! Three of us (my mom, her best friend and I) hosted the shower for my friend Kim. We have been friends since kindergarten (one of my oldest friends)! It is so cool to be this age and see my best friends go through giant milestones in their lives. I cannot wait to meet Kim & Dave's little bundle when she arrives.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In keeping with the storybook shower I took some pieces of wood around the house, sprayed them with chalk paint then wrote sweet quotes from children's books on them. We tried to pair them with toys, book, etc. that complimented the saying. We also did the same thing with food!</div>

Guess which baby photo belongs to each guest....It's fun to see all the photos of guests as babies. I asked people to email me a photo and printed them all in black and white (to throw off people a little more). I numbered each photo and provided a sheet with the name of each guest participating in the game with a spot to pencil in a photo number. The winner got a bottle of bubbles!</div>

I am so excited to share this year's photos from my trip to see the annual Bouquets to Art Exhibit at the <a href="https://deyoung.famsf.org/" target="_blank">de Young Museum</a> in San Francisco! This is an exhibit where floral designers from all over the world interpret pieces of art in the museum through their very on floral creations. This is my second time attending and would highly recommend it! Which piece is your favorite?<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">From time to time I get these hair-brained ideas that I must conquer. This day in age DIY projects are often fueled by pinterest and this DIY herb garden was no exception. Working in the Napa Valley has allowed me access to many wooden pallets. This got my wheels turning....what could I possibly use these for? My first wooden pallet project was constructing something to 1) decorate our front porch 2) upcycle a pallet 3) provide me and my man with fresh herbs right at our fingertips and 4) do a fun project as a couple (mainly, he constructed and I took care of the details...drainage, soil & plants)!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Step 1:</b> Cut the rain gutter. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We used a shop saw and were able to cut it into three 40" pieces.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Step 2:</b> Secure the end caps onto the segments of gutter. We used a rubber mallet and pliers to pinch them on. Be careful because the ends of the gutters are extremely sharp!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Step 4:</b> Screw the gutters into the pallet. We used a screw in the center, then leveled it and drilled screws into each side.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Step 9:</b> Once you're satisfied with the layout plant your herbs! If the plants are a little rootbound in the plastic container you can break them away a little bit. Plant them in the trough so that the top of the plant is pressed into the soil about an inch below the top line of the gutter. You want to be able to water your plants without instantly filling it with water and having soil dump over the sides.</span><br />

Jane & Joe's wedding took place on a toasty late-July day in Sacramento this summer! <a href="http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=3902" target="_blank">Le Rivage</a> was the location chosen as a meeting point for the joining of two families: the Bride's from the Bay Area and Groom's from just South of Sacramento. <br />
<br />
Jane wanted to keep the ceremony casual with wildflowers in white with accents of yellow and lavender. She provided galvanized buckets and stands from her parent's home as vessels to add around the metal archway. Her mom wanted live plants added to the altar décor for Jane and Joe to keep as mementos from their wedding. A garland of various eucalyptus and pittosporum was attached to the face of the arch.<br />

Jane wanted the flowers at the reception to look more formal than the wildflowers at the ceremony. She chose to utilize my collection of mercury glass rentals with centerpiece in the Baleri Compote pieces (silver mercury glass pedestal vases) with collections of antique bottles and jars around the larger vase, a mirror on the center of each table and lots of mercury glass votives. All of these hard goods are rental items through <a href="http://www.infullbloombymjl.com/" target="_blank">In Full Bloom by MJL</a>! I mostly used hydrangea, dahlia and garden rose from the reception flowers with some smaller flowers and fillers in the bottles and jars.</div>

Pine Ridge also used my silver and gold mercury glass votives to create a glowing tablescape once the sun went down. Isn't that market lighting overhead beautiful as well?<br />

Just thought I would post a few photos from the wedding I worked on this last weekend! The morning started out extremely stormy this past Saturday but, luckily, by mid-afternoon the storm let up for Tierney and Jack's beautiful wedding ceremony in St. Helena, CA. I've known Tierney since she was in preschool with my little brother and she has always been a girly girl. It was not surprising when she requested lots of sparkle to be incorporated in her wedding flowers including gold sparkly baby's breath! </div>

Tierney's bouquet contained organic garden roses, standard roses, calla lilies, lisianthus and ranunculus accented with rhinestones! Her bridesmaid bouquets (one pictured below) contained purple stock, hydrangea, roses, picasso calla lilies and gold baby's breath.<br />

As you can see from the cake table (above) and guest card table (below) there was lots of old and silver bling wrapped around the vases! Hydrangea, rose and carnation with the gold baby's breath made up each of the centerpieces accented with gold mercury glass votives and mirrors.</div>

Luke & Leanna were married just this last August in beautiful Old Town Sacramento at <a href="http://www.firehouseoldsac.com/" target="_blank">The Firehouse</a>. It's hard to believe, but I met this couple through a mutual friend nearly 8 years ago while they were in college! I always feel honored when friends of friends pick me to provide them with special florals for their big day. <br />
<br />
Leanna wanted a yellow and white bouquet with phaelanopsis orchids, lilies and roses. Her bridesmaid bouquets consisted of roses and calla lilies. Don't Luke and Leanna just make a beautiful couple?!<br />

Working with Marcie & Troy was such a joy! They were a lovely couple and I had so much fun creating arrangements for them on their wedding day at <a href="http://grandislandmansion.com/" target="_blank">The Grand Island Mansion</a>. Because the tables are different sizes and a little smaller, we decided to use small pedestal soup bowls as centerpiece vessels. Roses, hydrangea, stock and carnations in cream, white, light pink and peach filled the bowls. These classic flowers and the classic look of the vessels provided the perfect compliment to the architecture and integrity of the mansion.</div>

I don't always have the chance to photograph my work before it goes to my clients (which is really a good sign that I've grown so busy!)! Luckily, I work with some wonderful people and often times they send my photos, or their photographers are generous enough to send me photos! Here is a photo from a Sip and See at a local Lodi winery. I love the idea of inviting friends to have a drink and some bites to eat while meeting your new bundle of joy! I think it is a wonderful alternative to a baby shower or in addition to one. </div>

Pretty pastel pink, green, yellow, blue and lavender created the perfect delicate color palate for little Sienna's 1st Birthday Party! Sienna's crafty mom used beautiful bunting, giant balloons, birdcages, mason jars and delicious desserts to decorate the shabby chic affair. In Full Bloom by MJL created wildflower-type arrangements in watering cans, bird cages and mason jars. This is a very lucky one-year-old! I wonder what birthday party #2 will look like!</div>

I've said it before, and I will say it again (over and over), I just adore <a href="http://www.nicolecookphotography.com/" target="_blank">Nicole Cook</a>! She is such a wonderful photographer and was kind enough to snap a few shots of my flowers from a photo shoot we collaborated on a few months back. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=615213675155351&set=pb.115976785079045.-2207520000.1372792882.&type=3&theater" target="_blank">Click here</a> to see some photos with our gorgeous model, Peyton! Nicole and I were lucky enough to have the talent and keen eye of Jessica Palmer from <a href="http://polishandpout.com/" target="_blank">Polish & Pout</a> for this shoot too! Jessica is incredibly knowledgeable and regularly shares wonderful tips on her <a href="http://polishandpout.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/polishandpout/#" target="_blank">instagram</a> about make-up, hair, fashion and more!<br />

Recently I ventured out on a 6 hour drive to Solvang for a wedding set up. Unfortunately, the night prior to my departure I found a nail in my deflated tire. Thankfully, my family loaned me their car for the drive and delivery! One of the coolest parts about the solo road trip was listening to XM Radio (which I don't normally have). I scratched notes down on whatever was safely within my grasp while I was driving down I-5 so I could create a new music playlist! <br />
<br />
I present to you my <a href="http://open.spotify.com/user/1213405323/playlist/66MHZadeit3XmgZqrac8lr" target="_blank">2013 Spotify Playlist</a> that begins with "Stompa" by a sparkling new artist named Serena Ryder. She named her newest album "Harmony" saying, "All those elements come together in this record, that’s why it’s called Harmony. Harmony is being able to have a billion things happen at once. As long as they’re in harmony, it’s all good. You don’t have to think about yourself or deny yourself.” I think we can all relate to dealing with a million things happening at once in our everyday lives and how those all come together to create beauty in our everyday lives. <br />
<br />
Some of the songs are old, some new, or just new to me! I absolutely love the Dear Miss Lonelyhearts album by Cold War Kids and Secondhand Rapture by MS MR! <br />
<br />

It happened! I turned 30. And, honestly, it felt like any other day to me. No, I did not have a meltdown. Nor, I did not get five more cats and start hoarding my life away. Being a party planner, I essentially threw my own party with a little help from a few special people. It wasn't a dirty thirty, but a classy celebration that included lots of delicious food with wine pairings from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MatteosPizzaBistro?fref=ts" target="_blank">Matteo's,</a> absolutely lovely music by Coday Anthony along with so many people who are important to me! Everything was perfect, but if I could have changed one thing about the night I wish it would have lasted longer. I felt like the evening passed me by in the blink of an eye....much like the last 30 years. <br />

My mom and I had a great little luncheon by the pool this week for one of our tennis ladies who is due to have a baby boy in a few weeks! We are all so excited for her. Decorative umbrellas draped with crystal garland hung in the patio cover as if there were showers. We stuck with green white yellow and blue colors and went for a modern look with single varietals in each vase and beautiful turquoise glass filler in the vases.</div>
