I am so thrilled to receive these images from Kristina and Corey’s wedding just this past weekend.  Lydell Photography has a way of processing their images so they almost look like paintings.  Gorgeous!

Kristina’s bouquet was such a pretty combonation of roses, peonies, hydrangea and orchids.  We detailed the handle of the bouquet with pearls and silver wire.  Pearls on wire were also wound throughout the bouquet.

Purple and green is a hot color combination for bridal flowers this year.  The bridesmaid bouquets featured Fuji mums, lisianthus, cymbidium orchids, stock, roses, freesias and hypericum berries.

Purple velvet bridal shoes, amazing!

There is almost no place on earth more beautiful than the vineyards at David Girard vineyards in Coloma, Ca at sunset

Jodi and Mike were one of my favorite couples in 2009.   I know I have featured them before on the blog.  But I can’t seem to get enough!  I receieved this video of highlights from their wedding at Lake Natoma Inn in Folsom, Ca from Sacramento, Ca videographer, Eric at Acti-Video.  There is nothing like a video to re-live your wedding day.  Are they adorable or what?

Corrine and Ben planned their lovely wedding long distance while they were both in medical school.  They chose to have their wedding at Wine and Roses in Lodi, Ca because the lovely spot was centrally located for their families to gather.  When I spoke to Corinne she told me she was envisioning flowers that were elegant and fresh and cost effective.  Her bridesmaid dresses were are tangerine orange color and she wanted the flowers to contrast and compliment the dresses.

Corinne’s bridal bouquet consisted of callas, green and orange gladiola blooms, cymbidium and dendrobium orchids finished with a simple wrap of ivory taffeta.

The chuppa we used for Corinne and Ben’s ceremony in a wrought iron structure I designed and my Father built for me.  It is gorgeous and so sturdy!  The main problem I have had with chuppas is them falling over if there is a breeze.  As you can tell by the ribbon streamers flipping happily in the wind, my chuppa stands strong!  In case you are wondering,  CHUPPA: A chuppa symbolizes the home that the couple will build together. While a Jewish marriage is still considered valid in the absence of a chuppa, a chuppa is still considered a basic requirement for a Jewish wedding.

You can see some of the detail of the metal work in this picture.

I just love this color combination.  Bright orange and green is such a happy and bright pairing.
