Cara and Ryan were recently married on a sunny Saturday in July. The wedding was held at one of my favorite venue, SmogShoppe in Culver City. Their colors were white and ivory with blue accents. Here are some beautiful images provided by
Cara carried a bouquet of white flowers: white peonies, “sahara” roses, white freesia, and white mini calla lily with white tulip. Wrapped with fabric from Cara's dress!
Escort table we made birch containers filled with white hydrangeas, mini calla lilies, tulips, garden rose and dusty miller in a loose and natural design.
Silver cylinder filled with white tulips in a modern look for the cocktail tables.
Chizu and Andrew were married at Walt Disney Concert Hill, a modern and classic venue here in Los Angeles. I enjoyed working with Chizu and admired how She has the vision of making everything looks pretty and even more. Here are some beautiful and classic pictures by Sherrij Photography of their wedding day:
Annie and Ted were married on a perfect June day at the Neighborhood Church, followed by a reception at the Palos Verdes Country Club. Their colors were ivory with touches of blush pink.
Annie loves peonies and it was the perfect time for white and blush pink peonies. We also used lovely ‘polo’ ivory roses and hydrangea.
Annie’s bouquet featured all white peonies in various states of openness.
The bridesmaids carried bouquets of ivory ‘polo’ roses and blush pink peonies.
We placed a tall arrangement of hydrangea and peonies in the center of the escort card table with the escort cards radiating out from the flowers.
Each reception table held a low centerpiece of ivory hydrangea and ‘polo’ roses and blush pink peonies. We wrapped the clear glass cylinders with a band of gold ribbon.
Kristen and Brian were married at the beautiful Sherwood Country Club, Thousand Oaks. Here are some spectacular and dramatic photographs from

Jennifer and Michael were married at Calamigos Ranch, in the lovely Cottage Pavilion. Jennifer loves orchids!! So we featured several different types of orchids in her wedding color scheme of white, green, and purple. Calla lilies were also used in white and purple.
The bridesmaids carried bouquets of all bright green cymbidium orchids.
Jennifer carried a bouquet of white cymbidium orchids with purple lips mixed with white mini calla lilies.
An modern installation of 5 tall clear glass cylinders were arranged on the escort card table. The two taller cylinders were topped with purple mokara orchids and the lower cylinders held bouquets of purple mini calla lilies.
On each cocktail table, we placed a clear glass vase with vines and long stemmed purple mini calla lilies twisting within the vase.
A tall manzanita branch arrangement was placed on the guestbook table next to wedding pictures of the bride and groom’s parents. I always get a big kick out of seeing these vintage wedding pictures – love it! We anchored the sandblasted manzanita branches in a tall glass square vase filled with white pebbles. I like how you can see the pebbles through the glass of the vase making it look like the branches are in a white vase. The branches were decorated with white cymbidium orchid blossoms, clear crystals, and stems of purple dendrobium orchids.
The ring bearing flower girl carried the sweetest pillow made from flowers! Here we used green kermit poms and tied a white satin ribbon around the pillow and accented it with orchids.
For the aisle chair decor, we tied entire stems of green cymbidium orchids onto every other chair with purple satin ribbon.
The reception was held under a big white tent decorated with twinkling lights. Each table held a tall skinny white tower vase topped with all purple dendrobium orchids. And flickering battery-operated tea lights in frosted glass votive holders completed the look.
Stay tuned for John Li’s gorgeous photographs of the lovely bride and groom on their wedding day!
were married at the dramatic, seaside Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara. Here are some professional and
much better
pictures from their wedding. I love it whenever I hear from my brides a couple of months after their wedding and see their pictures. So fun and so great to know how they are loving married life!
I just wanted to share some gorgeous photographs of Karen and Jon's wedding by
.
The flowers look amazing in these pictures. And Karen is beautiful as always (and smokin’!).
I love the flowers in Jennifer’s bouquet: white peonies, “polo” roses, and white cymbidium orchids with sweet little yellow marks in the lips. My new favorite ivory rose to use are “polo” roses because they open beautifully and look like vintage garden roses.
Jennifer and Jasen held their wedding reception at the Redondo Beach Historic Library – a very unique venue for a wedding (I am a big fan of libraries!). Their colors were ivory, green, and teal. For the green bridesmaid bouquets, we used baby green hydrangea, “super green” roses, and lime green cymbidium orchids.
Tall arrangements for the church altar were comprised of velvety green gladiolas and white fluffy hydrangea.
Tiffany (my assistant extraordinaire) took most of these pictures. I really like the composition of this picture of the wedding cake topper – so creative! The flowers we used include hydrangea, cymbidiums, and roses.
Corsages for the moms featured light green mini cymbidium orchids as well as white freesia.
I really like how the floating centerpieces turned out – not your typical arrangement with a few floating orchids in a lily bowl. The lily bowl has been around
a long time
, but here they look fresh and re-invented! I attribute it to the use of lush, leafy passion vines wrapped around the edge, some parts placed inside the bowl, and other parts above and outside of the bowl. Stems of white and green dendrobium orchids are not rigidly placed in the bowl, but rather allowed to breathe and angle over and around the lip of the bowl. Everything is kept tidy and within the glass bowl, but also looking loose and modern. So simple, yet looks elegant and new!
All the centerpieces lined up and ready to go!
