Vow Renewal Bouquet
Today I have a sneak peek of of a bridal bouquet I did for a vowel renewal today. The story is so sweet, my couple eloped 10 years ago and never had a reception, wedding pictures etc... so on their 10th anniversary they decided to have the dress, the bouquet and reception and to have a fabulous photo shoot with a great photographer!
My friend Dave Shilling of dshillingphoto.netrefered Emily to me, thank you Dave.
Here is the bouquet, made of cabbage roses, star of Bethleham, Kochia, Dusty Miller, Anenome and scabiosa pods. I hope to have more to show you soon.

Fall wedding at Hans Fahden Winery Calistoga
All photos by Laurent Levy
My lovely bride choose her gown at an antique store and had it altered. It had a slight lavender hue to it, so beautiful. To fit the vintage gown we created a presentation style bouquet using calla lillies and garden roses. Then wrapped the stems in real satin. I think it is one of my all time favoirtes!
For her bridesmaid we went with multiple colored calla lilies in purples. then added fall colored roses and tied it with silver satin.
The Chuppa was constructed out of birch and done simply to not compete with the beautiful ceremony area at Hans Fahden.
Guests went from the ceremony area by the pond up the hill to the tea room for cocktails and the into the beautiul wine cave. Rather than placing centerpiece down the table, we construced a runner of twigs, succulants, flowers, grapes and hundreds of candles.

Sean and Michelle at the Citizen Hotel
If you follow my blog you know how much I love the Citizen Hotel.com in downtown Sacramento. I just have this thing for antiques, somehow they seem more authentic, they have stood the test of time. The Citizen has gorgeous restored ceilings with moldings and details we just don't seem to have with new construction. That said, I always get excited when one of my brides is getting married there.
Michelle really wanted a vintage vibe to her wedding, her mom even wore a 50's style dress and jewelry to carry out the theme. My friend and up and coming star, Jessica of Stout photography,
blog.stoutphoto.com was the photographer of the day. I love when Jessica shoots, I know I will get great photos of my work.
So many fun details for Sean and Michelle. Each centerpiece was unique so that no two tables were alike. We also hung fresh flower wreaths from the chandeliers. And the cake! Oh, my the cake. Rebecca from sweetcakesbyrebecca.com, actually hand painted it!

Michelle's bridal bouquet was made with the most amazing peonies, really my fabulous rep, Laura, out did herself with these amazing blooms! I also used my beloved David Austin roses, stephinotis and bridal blush protea. The accents for the bouquet were vintage buttons from the 1950's. The stems were wrapped with lace from Michelle' mothers bridal gown and a rosary. I also tucked a vintage handkerchief in the back of the bouquet.

Blooms featured in Our Wedding Magazine
The latest issue of Our Wedding Magazine just came out and I am so excited! For this issue Blooms teamed up with Stephanie J Designs, stephaniejdesigns.blogspot.com, to create what has to be one of my favorite shoots ever!
We went completely vintage for the shoot, from the linens to the old ice cooler, thanks grandma, to the depression glass plates and sterling silver flatware. Stephanie even found the old style paper straws, super cute.
We imagined what a bride from the 50's might have done if she was preparing a picnic for her sweetheart and a couple of friends, fresh colors, fresh fruit and of course, soda pop. The table sits overlooking a quiet stream with a floral wreath placed to anchor the setting. A stacked floral arrangement done in vintage milk glass grouping the flowers in a monochromatic scheme.
Each place setting has it's own color, yellow David Austin roses with daffodils, Pink garden roses with ranuculus, green roses and Kermit mums, and blue delphinium. Herbs are mixed in to add a lovely fragrance.
The nosegay is a mix of all the flowers wrapped in an antique linen.
Every occasion is made into a celebration with champagne, with this in mind we gave each of our guests, their own personal bottle, straw included.
The shoot took place at wilsonvineyards.com and was photographed by Jennifer of the http://www.memoryjournalists.com/
