Wedding at The Lodge at Sonoma

This wedding took place at the Lodge at Sonoma in Sonoma California. Our bride wanted a soft vintage feeling. For the bouquets we used soft blushes and ivory. Cabbage roses, peonies, spray roses made up the bridal party flowers.
For the ceremony we kept it soft and simple using babies breath on the chairs with large satin ribbon, and lanterns with candles to add a lovely glow.
Each table at the reception had an eclectic mix of containers, Mercury glass, birch vases, vintage bottles, etc... We used dinner plate dahlias, cabbage roses, antique roses, scabiosa pods, veronica etc..
The beautiful images were taken by the fabulous Sonia Savio www.soniasavio.com/WWeddings/

Oak Farm Vineyard Wedding Lodi California part 1

What can I say, this was one of my favorite weddings this season. I was able to work with some of my favorite vendors and with a wonderful family.

The bridal bouquet was made up of cabbage roses, scabiosa pods, bouvadia and lysianthus.

I LOVE what Tia, the fabulous hair and makeup artist did with Ashely's hair, using the succulents was so unique

Love the floral embellishment on the bridal gown.

Ashley's family is so close and loving, it was a joy to be around them on the wedding day.

The guests were greeted at the gate with romantic moss and floral hearts.

Polka Dot Wedding at the Citizen Hotel Sacramento

How fun are these polka dot gerbera daisy bridal bouquets! My bride wanted her bouquet to match her favorite shoes.
The pretty rose petal aisle with a swirly pattern.

I love my silver tree candelabras.
Elegant but fun brides bouquet.
Black and white flowers with pops of red. Classic but fun.

I love the black and red anemone boutonniere.
For sweetheart tables I like to do a garland to be in proportion to the table rather than a "centerpiece".


How fabulous is the cake by Freeport bakery in Sacramento? Black white and red, amazing.
