2020 designs are including ALL the rainbow flowers, and I’m not upset about it.  I think that tastefully done pops of color are so vibrant and fun, and when bright flowers are paired with more neutral design elements, I love the end result.   Zora and Dan were married in San Diego, California at the […]

I had the pleasure of working with Mika and Steve over a year to plan their stunning wedding at Greengate Ranch and Vineyards in San Luis Obispo.  Mika is a graphic artist and had a very distinct vision for her wedding design.  We worked together closely to develop their wedding design concept.  She made all […]

As January comes to a close, I am getting so excited to launch all of our educational opportunities for event professionals this year!  Providing educational opportunities to fellow professionals gives me so much excitement.  I remember when I was first starting out in this industry.  I was overwhelmed, had lots of question, and often felt […]

When Natalie and Paul called me to get to know me, I knew immediately that their wedding would be so much fun.  Natalie’s family grows flowers, and they wanted to provide all of the blooms and ensure that their wedding was FULL of beautiful floral arrangements.  Natalie and Paul were also high school sweethearts (like […]

While I love abundant florals and timeless/romantic designs, the weddings designs that “put me on the map” in the earlier days of my business were our organic, natural, very “masculine” feeling weddings.  I used to play so much with different types of greenery (sometimes not using ANY flowers at a wedding), different tones of wood, […]

Rhiannon and Josh were married at Villa and Vine in downtown Santa Barbara.  Their intimate celebration for their closest family and friends was so romantic.  I loved the pastel floral arrangements, the romantic gold hand-lettered calligraphy details on hand-torn paper (by Jessica Yee Calligraphy), and Rhiannon’s Claire Pettibone gown (and floral veil!). Rhiannon got ready […]

Sherine + John were one of the KINDEST couples I have ever worked with. They have traveled the world together, and wanted their wedding to reflect their adventurous spirits, the cultures of their families, and the also be a black-tie affair.  They chose to get married at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum in the heart […]

I love all of the amazing flowers we get to do at weddings – from romantic neutral palettes to vibrant rainbow installations, 2019 was an amazing year with so many floral designs that I am so proud of. As this year comes to a close, I’m also so incredibly excited as we look forward to […]

When I am working with couples to choose their venue, I love looking at spaces that have a neutral backdrop – lots of natural tones, natural elements, and nothing too bright surrounding it – so that we can design the space in any direction.  Julia and Dan chose to get married at the greenhouse at […]

When I’m designing an autumn wedding, I like to stay away from the oranges and reds traditionally associated with fall.  Instead, I like to incorporate deep, rich colors (like burgundy and navy blue) alongside a warm, neutral palette (taupes, grays, ivories, and tan tones).  Brittany and Aaron were married in October at Dos Pueblos Orchid […]
