Memorial Day Weekend | 3 days, 7 weddings

This weekend was EPIC. I worked at speeds at which I didn't even know I was capable of. Luckily no splinters and only one minor cut. Neosporin = life in this industry. Haha. 

Okay so out of these 7 weddings, 6 required personal flowers. These were all the different sets:

My favorite headpiece so far. I'm quite proud.

:)








One of the more complicated weddings was on Monday. One major complication was that the wedding was at Lake Arrowhead. Quite the commute, but I was very happy with how things turned out.

Pews for the ceremony.


On occasion, I can take a pretty picture ;) 



One of three centerpiece styles.

My favorite of all centerpiece styles. I <3 grapewood.


Last centerpiece style.

Apparently, these were the favorite among the guests too because none were left behind after the reception.

Sweethearts table after the flowers were moved from the ceremony. 


All in all a successful three day weekend! Now I'm going to spend the next couple of days shopping, reading and laying down. Mostly laying down hahah :D

Universal Hilton Wedding

I believe this wedding was 1 out of 5 two weekends ago. The pomander centerpieces seen here were also featured in the previous entry. The groom of this wedding was SUPER nice. I delivered personal flowers to their hotel in the morning and there is just no question why this man is no longer available in the market :p 

Sweethearts table.
The centerpieces that are just tons of fun to lift ^^' (btw lifting boxes, buckets, etc has given me some mad guns.. let's just say getting through airport security is going to be pretty difficult with these bad boys)

Larger pomanders that were used in the ceremony.

Centerpiece for the lovely couple. This variety of roses is called Faith. I love it.

Awesome whimsical tilting bubble bowls. Everyone needs these! Highly recommended! Haha :p

Mother's Day | Mission 261 Wedding | Giant Pomanders Galore

A lot has happened lately and I haven't had the time to blog. Oh May was wonderful but horrible at the same time. Rushing to meet deadlines was stressful, but seeing the finished products make all the blood and sweat absolutely worth it. So here we go people. I'll be splitting May into two entries.

Mother's Day definitely isn't as crazy as Valentine's Day. Where's the love for our mama's people?? The two holidays should be equals, cause you know this woman gave birth to you and all. I'm proposing a motion. Anyway, I didn't snap too many pictures but my favorite were these special order Hong Kong bouquets. 





Following Mother's Day, we had the pleasure of doing a pretty intimate wedding. The ceremony was at Almansor Court and the reception was at Mission 261. Here is the reception decoration:

Centerpiece for the family table where the Bride & Groom also sat.

Centerpieces for everyone else.

Manzanita tree for signing table.
And lastly, I think I made about 20 or 30 of these bad boys.

Featured flowers: peonies, daises, hydrangea, billy balls

It's funny how weddings in the same week would order similar things.
