Rachel & Armando | Monterey, Ca | September 2010

Rachel and Armando came to me through a referral, and I couldn't have been more excited at the opportunity to design for them! Right away I could tell that working with them was going to be very special!!! When I met with Rachel for the initial consultation I felt at ease, and Rachel was so understanding of my full time job, that I knew it was a match made in heaven.

Rachel and Mando wanted their wedding to reflect the wine country, using purple and chocolate brown as their wedding colors. She described natural textures, including branches that she wanted to incorporate into her centerpieces. Instantly, I knew exactly what I was going to produce for their wedding, using the non-traditional elements my designs are known for. I used smoke bush (one of my favorites), Chocolate Cosmos, and Fern Shoots, all of which reflected the chocolate brown Rachel wanted. For the main element, Rachel wanted Purple Hydrangea, and Freesia. I thew in some Bella Donna Delphinium just to give it one more shade of purple. See what you think below!!


Sometimes I forget what my weddings actually look like. Then I get to see pictures like these, and I get super excited all over again! Special thanks to Ashley Wexler from Under The Sun Photo, ashleywexlerphotography.com who generously snapped, and provided the pictures below.


The amazing bridal bouquet from another angle (held by her bridesmaid of course!)




I just love the trend of bridesmaids all wearing the same color, but different cuts for the dresses. I also just LOVE the purple bridesmaids bouquets against their royal purple dresses!
