Green Gables Estates is one of our most beautiful San Diego Wedding venues, and I'm so excited to share these great photos of Tiffany and Chris's wedding flowers and decor. My thanks to Aaron Huniu Photography for capturing not only the gorgeous details of the day, but also the special connection between these two, and the sweet, loving spirit among family and friends that day!

Tiffany described her style and color palette as "all kinds of berries", warmed up appropriately for autumn, with lots of interesting shapes and textures. I accomplished it using deep shades of burgundy dahlias, richly hued roses and ranunculus, and lots of pods, berries, and greens, adding just a touch of gold! And if you look closely, you'll notice a special charm wraps around the stems. I think everyone really enjoyed all the flowers at this wedding, and I have to say, I love this bouquet from every angle!

A very large and very good-looking wedding party, don't you think?

CEREMONY

The wedding procession included these adorable little ones, with the flowergirl carrying her own miniature bouquet. The aisle is lined with beautiful crystal cones filled with garden roses and the ivory-draped gazebo looks perfect with plenty of colorful flowers overhead to frame the ceremony.

A very happy bride and groom, love this!

RECEPTION

Inside the reception tent, the sweetheart table looks so romantic with a backdrop of floral garlands and crystals and the beautiful gazebo spray adorning the length of the wooden farm table. Guest tables, set with pretty china in various patterns, held two styles of flower arrangements.

So here's to a dream come true for the Bride and Groom, and many more to come! Thank you, Chris and Tiffany for allowing me to contribute to your wedding day.

Mission Bay Summer Wedding at The Dana

Today we're looking back on a favorite San Diego wedding at the Dana Hotel in Mission Bay. Sara and Rei chose a perfect day for their wedding at this stunning beach side venue so reflective of San Diego and of their own relaxed and beautiful style! Here is Sara enjoying a moment of anticipation. Her bouquet is a fresh blend of green cymbidium orchids and ivory roses, hydrangea, mums and dahlias, wrapped in satin and pearls.

The men's bouts are mini cymbidiums tucked into rods of equistem, with loops of beargrass and a small white orchid added to the groom's. And I love the look on Sara's face when she see's her man! These two are adorable!

The ceremony was held right on the edge of the water under the iconic palm trees of The Dana. The bamboo arch is decorated with corner sprays of plum and green orchids and palm fronds for a breezy tropical feel, and the path is strewn with orchid blossoms.

Corsages for the mothers are made with large green cymbidium with ivory ribbon.

Inside the ballroom, there were tall showy centerpieces in trumpet vases of orchids, bells of Ireland, and palms, wrapped in ti leaf, and low glass cubes of orchids, stock, carnation, and roses, accented with curls of monkeytail fern fronds. All were lit from within with submersible lights, and surrounded with a few other touches of hydrangea, submeged orchids, and spider mums.
