Karen & Dennis at Eagle Glen Golf Course

Karen & Dennis were married May 25, 2008 at Eagle Glen Golf Course in Corona. Karen carried a hand tied Biedermeier style bouquet of Lavender Calla Lilies, Cream Roses, and Green Cymbidium Orchids. The Bridesmaids carried mixed bouquets of Roses, Stock, Bells of Ireland, Lisianthus, Freesia, Button Mums, and mini Cymbidium Orchids in Lavenders and Light Greens. Along with fresh flowers, we draped Ivory Chiffon to dramatically change the basic arch provided by Eagle Glen. My favorite part of this wedding had to be the aisle! The bride proved us green golf baskets, which we lined with fresh moss and filled with fresh Hydrangea in White, Pale Green, and Purple. This was a great way to incorporate the golf course into the wedding, rather than ignore it completely. The centerpieces were alternating high and low continuing the color theme of the wedding. Karen & Dennis purchased all of the urns and vases used so that their guests could take the whole centerpiece, instead of just the flowers, as a gift at the end of the reception.

Samantha & Colin at the Castaways Restaurant

Samantha & Colin were married May 25, 2008 at the Castaways Restaurant in San Bernardino. Samantha carried an all White hand tied bouquet of Roses, Lisianthus, Sweet Peas, Phalaenopsis Orchids, with accents of Dusty Miller. The Maid of Honor wore a Lipstick color dress, while the Bridesmaids wore Coral color dresses. They all carried the same bouquets of Pink Roses, Dark & Light Pink Miniature Gerbera Daisies, and Pink Wax Flower. The fresh flower spray on the Gazebo was also used on the Bride & Groom's sweetheart table. Along the aisle, we hung fresh pomander balls of Carnations with Mini Gerbera Daisies from shepherd hooks. I really like the look of this aisle for summer weddings!

Linda & Donny at Mountain Meadows Golf Course

Linda & Donny were married May 25, 2008 at the Mountain Meadows Golf Course in Pomona. Linda carried a beautiful hand tied bouquet of White & Hot Pink Roses, Yellow Calla Lilies, and Stephanotis.

Two of the Flower Girls carried fireside baskets with matching flowers. One Flower Girl carried a White silk pomander ball with fresh spray roses in Hot Pink & Yellow. If you have more than one Flower Girl, it's nice to give them different styles to carry. Hand Tied Bouquets, Pomander Balls, or Fresh Baskets with Rose Petals are among the most popular. Linda & Donny chose to utilize their location's Maestro vases. We place bouquets tied with ribbon in the vases so that their guests could take them at the end of the evening.

Roxane & Scott at the Mission Inn

Roxane & Scott were married May 17, 2008 at the Mission Inn in Riverside. Anyone who knows me, knows that my absolute favorite color is pink! So, I just love pink weddings! Roxane carried the sweetest bouquet of bi-color pink & white roses with Rhinestone accented White Calla Lilies. The bridesmaids in Chocolate dresses carried bouquets of Roses, Stock, Lisianthus, and Wax Flower in Soft Pinks. We kept the chapel very simple and just added a couple flower clusters on the front railing that was also used on the couple's sweetheart table. The Galleria Room's guest tables were decorated with Soft Pink & White centerpieces with Chocolate accents. We scattered loose rose petals on the cake table along with the bride's toss bouquet. The simple flower clusters were just enough to highlight the white wedding cake.

Amy & Bernard at Green Mountain Ranch

Amy & Bernard were married May 17, 2008 at Green Mountain Ranch in Lytle Creek. This unseasonably hot weather could have been a problem for an outdoor ceremony and reception! But being that Green Mountain Ranch is location deep in a canyon, it was much cooler than the outlying areas! The wedding colors of Lavenders, Purple, and White went along nicely with the greenery of all the trees. Amy's spring bouquet of Roses, Freesia, Lisianthus, Sweet Peas, and Misty Blue was perfect for this "country" style wedding! The flower spray decorating the gazebo was also used to decorate the bride and groom's sweetheart table. The centerpieces of Lavender & White were Stargazers, Stock, Alstroemeria, Miniature Carnations, Lisianthus, Mums, Roses, Statice, and Misty Blue surrounding a tall cylinder candle.

The bridesmaids' bouquets of Lemon & Camelia Leaves accented with Dark Blue Delphinium, Purple Lisianthus, and White Sweet Peas were a nice contrast against the Eggplant color dresses. Veronica & Brigham's reception was held in the Music Room at the Mission Inn. The centerpieces were different size cylinder vases with submerged flowers of Stock, Dendrobium Orchids, and Delphinium. A white floating candle and scattered Lemon Leaves completed the look.

Mission Inn Open House, March 2008

The Historic Mission Inn in Riverside presents its Bridal Open House three times a year. Cupid's Arrow is proud to be one of the preferred vendors included these events. In March 2008 we decorated the Galleria Room. We chose Chocolate Brown Satin linens and chair covers to be our main theme. We then accented the tables in pairs with Ivory, Sage, Pale Pink, Copper and Burgundy. Rather than do the entire room in one color, we like to show off many different color combinations. Vantage Point Productions made this great video of our work from the Open House. We hope you enjoy!

Jennifer & Adam at the Guasti Villa

Jennifer & Adam were married May 4, 2008 at the Guasti Villa in Ontario. The couple chose spring colors of Yellows, Peaches, Oranges, and Light Greens.

Shannon & Jonathan at St Peter & St Paul Church

Shannon & Jonathan were married May 3, 2008 at St Peter & St Paul Church in Rancho Cucamonga. The couple chose colors of Purple, Light Green, Hot Pink, Bright Orange, and Ivory to complement the purple bridesmaids dresses. The groomsmen wore boutonnieres of Purple Lisianthus, which is a nice alternative to a rose when a bride is looking for a bright purple rather than a lavender. The flowers that decorated the unity candle stand and the church pews were transferred to Shannon & Jonathan's sweetheart table at Sierra La Verne Country Club where their reception was held. It's always a good idea to utilize the ceremony flowers at the reception, if possible. The vase centerpieces in a fresh spring flower mix were perfect for this afternoon reception!

Cary & Eric at Padua Hills

Cary & Eric were married May 2, 2008 at Padua Hills in Claremont. Ivory, Champagne, and Burgundy were colors that accented this beautiful location nicely.

An inside archway was draped with burgundy chiffon and flower accents that were added to complete the look of the reception.
