Fun and Elegant Purple Wedding at the Citizen Hotel

Blooms did a purple calla lily's bridal bouquet for our bride and white calla lily's for the bridesmaids

 Our bride loves her kitty, so we put a photo of her on the brides bouquet after we wrapped the brides bouquet in black glitter ribbon.

 For our bridesmaids, we used purple glitter ribbon and a rhinestone for a bit of sparkle.

 This ceremony structure was built just for the Citizen Hotel, Blooms placed purple flower balls attached by mirrored garland to add sparkle. Then we placed half balls with rhinestones down the aisle.

 So pretty surrounded by pops of color and flower

 The terrace at the Citizen is a fabulous place for a reception.

 We repurposed the hanging flower balls and turned them into centerpieces placed on mercury glass for the guest reception tables.

Dear dear Martha,

I could not be more obsessed or blown away with the stunning works of arts you created for my wedding.

You took my vision and made it even more gorgeous than I could have dreamed. The bouquets were magical, the boutonnières were perfection, and don't get me started on the ribbon curtain. It was color and romance and whimsy all wrapped up and swirling in love.

 Thank you for making our day beautiful. You'll be in our hearts forever.
With love and so much gratitude,
Mr and Mrs James and Emily Lisowski!!

 Well it's been awhile since I've posted, but here is a small sweet post about a darling couple.  They were married 10 years ago but never had a wedding, so for their 10th anniversary they decided to have a celebration!  My friend  Dave Shilling Photography took these fabulous images.  They were taken at the  Carvalho Family Winery.
 

 

I love Dave's use of this old pipe

Wedding at the Sutter Club Sacramento

 This wedding at the Sutter Club was full of fun little touches.  The bride wanted the guests to fill as if they were at home, food was spread in each room so that guests could mingle from room to room.
 As guests came into the Sutter Club the Knight in no so shining armor greeted them wearing a boutonniere.

For the lobby chandleir we hung a beautiful floral garland with flowers that were chosen to bring out the colors in the tapestry

In the bar we placed mint julep cups filled with white football mums and the Alabama A, in honor of the mother of the bride and her families loyalty to the University of Alabama.  As fate would have it, the Crimson team had a game the day of the wedding that the bride chose to have on in the bar for friend's and family to watch.

Stephanie from Honey Paperie created the Crimson A for our little arrangement.

A beautiful mix of peonies, roses, fern fonds, millet scabiosa, dahlias, cox comb and calla lilies made up the brides bouquet.

I loved creating this floral piece to sit on the mantle of the library of the Sutter Club
