Janet and Ryan at Solage in Calistoga

In July we had fun doing the flowers for Janet and Ryan's wedding.
The ceremony was held at the St. Joan of Arc Church in Yountville, and then the reception took place at the amazing Solage Resort in Calistoga.
Solage is an Eco friendly resort and so beautiful!
Janet went with a pallet of grey, ivory and red. We rotated the florals at the reception between red and ivory.
On the willow patio we hung over 100 hanging candles, it looked gorgeous!
We also hung white orchids from the trees that lined the walk way into the reception.

Natalie and Aric Part 1

I'm so excited to share this wedding with you! Amber and Alan, a fabulous team with a darling little boy I might add, from www.artisticimagerypro.com were the photographer and film makers of the day! The wedding took place in Forest Hill. The ceremony area had an amazing view. Natalie wanted to define the ceremony space but I didn't want to block the gorgeous view. So I constructed birch trees and then strung them with crystals and roses.




There were pine trees everywhere so we hung rose heads on satin ribbon from the branches.
Crystals and roses lined the aisle.

For the flower girl, we created a little square purse using fresh flowers. She then threw the petals from her purse.

Natalie's bridal bouquet was wrapped in glass crystals.


I love the cream and grey bridesmaid bouquets, so elegant with the ballerina pink dresses.

A basket full of boutonnieres and corsages.

Beaded Bouquets

White orchids with hand beaded loops and flowers. The stems are wrapped in satin from the brides gown and then embellished with amber crystals.

The bridesmaids bouquet was made with orchids, bridal blush protea, calla lilies, sword fern, feathers and hand beaded loops and flowers.
The stems were wrapped with embossed fabric. THen embellished with amber and purple crystals.
