Summertime Dreaming


Photos from the amazing duo, Kitty and Craig of Twin Lens Images

While it feels like it is about 19 degrees here and I'm sitting inside with mittens and a jacket on...I am dreaming of a lovely summertime bouquet we did for a bride.  Sunset Dahlias, Crespedia, Orange Sherbet Rannunculus, Succulents, and gold Mokara Orchids.  Warms me right up!

It makes us say...

"Bo-dache, Oh My Lady Gaga, Woo-wee, Yowzaa, Ah la Motors, Yee-Yee, Ooo La Weebies, I Gots the Goosebumps, I L-Huv You, Zing Zing Zing, Ring-a-ding-ding-dong!!!"



We also do quite a few "happy dances" around here, cause we just LOVE the work we do!


Jessie's new obsession, "Coffee Break" Roses....and coffee breaks.

Not your average Cornacopia

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these Thanksgiving centerpieces that Melissa created for her own table!

Real Wedding: Kate & Kris

 Flashback to summer....a wonderful wedding shot by the talented Eric Cousineau that took place at the La Terazza ballroom in the La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe.
The centerpieces of succulents, fushia Dendrobium Orchids, Leucadendron, Horsetail, China Berry and Eyringium popped on the teal linens and were complimented by the fushia napkins. 



We also provided Poppy Pods, Dendrobium Orchids, China Berry, Dahlias and Succulents to adorn the beautiful tin and copper lanterns provided by La Terraza.


The bride chose lovely print material that corresponded perfectly to the decor.

Melissa and Jessie nearly fainted at the sight of the UH-Mazing Kate Spades.

We'd come to work in them if we didn't have to stand all day...

The bridesmaids bouquets of Dahlias, Cymbidium Orchids, and Belladona Delphinium

And of course, we could leave you without a picture of the incredible Dia de Los Muertos cake by Maggie Faralla. It was to die for!

A Fall Feast for the Eyes

Here are a few shots from a wedding that took place at the La Terraza ballroom at the La Fonda Hotel on a brisk October day. 


The table set-up fetured two long "Kings Tables" which created a beautiful and dramatic display.

The tables featured autumnal arrangements of antique Hydrangea, our favorite Cherry Brandy Roses, James Storey Orchids, Sea Holly Eryngium, Crabapple, golden wheat, rosemary, gourds, pumpkins, artichokes and of course pomegranates.
