Heather & Danny at the Historic Mission Inn

Heather & Danny were married at the Historic Mission Inn in Riverside on October 14, 2012.  After our initial meeting, Heather and I made changes by email or phone.  Out of town brides seem to be more and more common these days.  What did we ever to with the Internet!  I was glad to see her so excited and pleased with everything we did for her!

Janette & Joe at the Historic Mission Inn

Janette & Joe were married November 20, 2009 at the Historic Mission Inn in Riverside. Janette has been the sweetest bride through this whole process! She has been so excited and I couldn't wait to show her what I came up with! Janette was definitely all about the sparkle! We lightly sprayed silver glitter on the bouquets to really make them sparkle! The Spanish Art Gallery looked amazing! The highlight being the Curly Willow Arch accented with Blush Pink Dendrobium Orchids over the cake table! Wonderfully romantic!

Kelly & Joe Reception at the Historic Mission Inn

Kelly & Joe were married November 7, 2009 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Riverside with their Reception in the Music Room at the Mission Inn in Riverside. With Kelly & Joe living in Virginia, a lot of the wedding was planned via mail & email! With the help of Mary Jo Gallegos of An Affaire of the Heart the evening could not have turned out better!

I received the following email the day after the wedding...

Hi Heather,I just wanted to send a quick note to say THANK YOU for the GORGEOUS flowers on Saturday. From the bouquets, the pew bows, the alter arrangements to the centerpieces, everything was simply beautiful. You read my mind and made my dreams reality and I can't begin to thank you enough. We've seen some of Curtis' photos and the flowers just pop off the page. LOVE THEM!! I could go on, but I'll spare you my post-wedding mushiness. We're off to our honeymoon now, but I just couldn't leave without saying thank you. You rock - thank you!!Take care,Kelly

South Coast Winery's Bridal Open House

South Coast Winery had their Fall Bridal Open House on October 11, 2009. For this Open House we were set up in a separate part of the Grand Ballroom which was set with beautiful leather lounge furniture. This is definitely a growing trend in the industry! Along with a Martini Luge, this was a gathering point at the end of a successful day!

Historic Mission Inn Tasting Night!

On September 21, 2009, the Historic Mission Inn in Riverside had their first Group Tasting Event! Brides and their families were invited to taste the many offerings that the Mission Inn has to offer. Along with the food and drinks, were specific vendors from the Mission Inn Preferred Vendor List to offer their services. This is a sample of what we showcased that evening!

Crysten & Josh at the Diamond Bar Center

Crysten & Josh were married September 13, 2009 at United Brethren Church in Claremont with their reception at the Diamond Bar Center. Crysten provided beautiful broaches to give to each of her attendants. We attached them to each of the bouquets as a surprise! Crysten also found the glass urns and candle stands to use for the centerpieces. We just supplied the arrangements! It's always so nice to add to the bride's personal touches!

Knachell & Brett at South Coast Winery

Knachell & Brett were married March 14, 2009 at South Coast Winery in Temecula. Planning a wedding can be a stressful situation for any bride, but planning out of state is a whole other thing! The last couple of weeks before the wedding Knachell & I spoke on the phone a lot!! I couldn't have been happier that her day was the day she dreamed of! Knachell carried a hand tied bouquet of Burgundy Cymbidium Orchids & Fuchsia Calla Lilies. The bridesmaids carried bouquets of Burgundy Dahlias. The ceremony was held at the Rose Arbor with a spectacular view of the vineyards! Simple rose petals scattered along side the aisle was just enough to add to this beautiful setting! In the Barrel Room, the guest tables were adorned with Champagne Iridescent Overlays, while the chairs were accented with Burgundy Iridescent Sashes. Grapes filled the alternating centerpieces that were topped with Burgundy Roses, Lilies, Dahlias, and Fuchsia Gerbera Daisies. These colors complemented this room perfectly!
