A swell was in one clear sunny Saturday in May and the surfers were out in full force. At the end of the Malibu Pier, Liz was having her graduation party in the Surfrider room at the Beachcomber Restaurant. Here are some pictures of the floral arrangements we provided. The color theme was orange and pool blue and Liz thought having actual oranges in the arrangements would be a lot of fun. I couldn’t agree with her more! We also used fun, bright orange gerbera daisies, yellow craspedia, peachy-orange roses, and accents of light green bupleurum.
Mr. and Mrs. Jacinto were recently married at St. Lorenzo Ruiz Catholic Church in Walnut and then held their reception at the famous Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. I was very excited to get to visit the aquarium again because it had been a while since I last been!
Gloria couldn’t have picked a more fitting color scheme for her wedding – orange and blue. I love this color combination and don’t get to work with it that often when it comes to weddings. Although blue can be a very difficult color to use when it comes to flowers, there is a very stunning dark blue hydrangea I love. Here are the bridesmaids bouquets in deep blue hydrangea, orange “circus” roses, gold cymbidium orchids, and orange freesia.
Gloria’s bridal bouquet was mostly white for that bridal look, with orange flowers to go with the overall theme. We used white mini calla lilies, ranunculus, and ivory “polo” roses.
The ceremony altar flowers were also white and orange: Casablanca lilies, hydrangea, “circus” roses, orange mokara orchids, white gladiolas, and curly willow branches.
And finally the reception! Gloria loved the look of deco beads, which are these cool re-hydrated beads that come in all sorts of colors. For the centerpieces we used two cylinders, a 4″ cylinder within a 6″ cylinder, and poured the deco beads into the space between the vases. Then we submerged blue LED lights into the inner vase within the stems so that the vases glowed and blue light emanated through the beads when the ambient lights dim. Something about the round shapes of the deco beads mimicking bubbles and the blue lights reflecting the blueness of the aquarium exhibits – it was simply perfect for the aquarium!
Gina and Will choose vivid wedding colors of orange and blue. I loved how these orange summery flowers looked against such deep and intense blue hydrangea!
For her wedding bouquet, we used golden cymbidium orchids, white mini calla lilies, “caramel antique” garden roses, white freesia, and orange tulips.
Gina was also a little bit of a DIY-bride. She found her own clear glass vases to use for the reception and The Flower Lab filled them with flowers. We used large and fluffy deep orange dahlia, garden roses, alstroemeria, roses, blue hydrangea, and chocolate geranium leaves.
These small square vases each held 3 stems of dahlia and were placed on the cocktail tables.
Tall stems of orange “mango” calla lilies were held in skinny clear glass rectangular vases.
