Flourish - Wedding Flowers & Floral Design, Florist

My adorable niece's wedding

I love my job! One of the many reasons I have the best job on earth is when a friend or family member has a wedding I am lucky enough to have a front row seat in the planning. Usually I am in charge of the flowers (natch) but this past September when my sweet niece was married not only did Flourish design the flowers (thanks Mai!), I was second shooter for the amazing Beth with True Love Photo

My husband's family is from El

Salvador. So when my niece and new nephew were married,

the ceremony was filled with traditions and special meaning. I love to see couples include their cultural traditions in their ceremony. It makes the event so meaningful to them and their families.

The reception took place at La Provence in Roseville. They did a great job they did at La Provence! Service-perfect, food-delectable, setting- picturesque.

What a fabulous place! We had dinner out on their patio under the olive trees with the setting sun as our backdrop.

Party time was inside the venue and let me tell you- this family can dance! And dance! And dance! I think the servers at La Provence had to kindly tell us when it was time to leave.

I love fun touches- my favorite part of the evening was when we made smores over the open fire pit. What a great way to top off the night and a great way to bring the kid out in your guests. Memorable and tasty.

Wedding Decor A to Z- Artistry

First in a series of topics about wedding decor, planning and trends categorized A to Z.

(A) is for Artistry- It is so important to hire professionals that have a passion for their chosen careers. Artistry comes from passion.

I love what I do. I love designing flowers. I have so much fun choosing just the right colors, textures, accessories and patterns that combine to make an event memorable. Every time I walk into the flower market I am excited by that week's offerings. Finding just the right flower to offset the chosen colors of an event is thrilling.

Beth with True Love Photo says I look like a five year old proudly presenting my treasured macaroni creation when I am giving the bride her bouquet. Truly, it feels that way. I love my designs and I hope my clients can see the artistry, passion and love I put into everything I create.

True Love Photo

I have been lucky to work with Beth from True Love Photo several times this year. Beth is not only a talented photographer she is a fabulous person and one of my best friends. Enjoy a few images from weddings and projects Beth and I worked on together in the recent past.

Isn't she amazing? One of the many things I respect about Beth is her commitment to her clients. She wants every single one of her clients to have an amazing wedding day and the images to show for it. Also, Beth is a blast to be around. She is always ready to make an obscure reference to an 80's movie to bring a smile to her subject's faces.

To be further amazed by Beth's handiwork check out the slide show from one of our recent weddings:
