Jenny & Matt at Life Bible Fellowship and Etiwanda Gardens

Jenny & Matt were married November 22, 2008 at Life Bible Fellowship. Jenny's bouquet was a beautiful combination of Ivory, Leonida, Circus, and Spicey Roses, with Orange Calla Lilies, and Chocolate Cosmos accents. The reception was held at Etiwanda Gardens. With twenty guest tables, Jenny decided to do half of the centerpieces elevated in mixed Fall colors. The other half were done in vases that she provided, in single color combinations. This was a great look for such a large room! To see more pictures of this wedding and a fabulous photograper please visit Michelle Johnson Photography .

Dominica & Matt at the Mission Inn

Dominica & Matt were married November 15, 2008, at the Mission Inn. The Spanish Art Gallery was transformed for this fabulous Fall Wedding! Draped beautiful Chiffon fabric with flower & ribbon accented the railings. Chocolate & Olive linens and chair covers made a huge impact on this event! All the centerpieces were elevated in the Bride's choice of amazing Fall colors. The cake (by the creative Simply Cakes Bakery ) was adorned with Black Bacarra Roses and rose petal accents.

Mandy & Mike at Loews Lake Las Vegas

Mandy & Mike were married October 31, 2008 at the Loews Hotel at Lake Las Vegas. Mandy has been designer for Cupid's Arrow for more than seven years! Every detail was meticulously planned out by Mandy herself! Their colors of Chocolate Brown, Fall Oranges, and Greens were the perfect combination for this amazing Fall day! The weather on the lake could not have been more perfect! Mandy's dad hand built the plant stands that were used for her ceremony, all we had to do was add Orange Cymbidiums, Greenery , and some really tall Curly Willow! What a great idea! Now Mandy & Mike have these great plant stands to enjoy in their new house! We accented the beautiful Brown Aisle Runner with fresh Rose Petals. Hurricane Vases with coffee beans, Dendrobium Orchid & Alstoemeria Blooms and a fragrant candle gave a romantic glow to the ceremony and also the cocktail hour. Mandy provided the centerpiece containers that we filled with flowers in all shades of Orange & Greens and even included fresh apples. The reception look was completed with Chocolate Brown & Olive Green Linens. It was so exciting for us to be included in this fabulous destination wedding! Congratulations!

Christine & Eric at Green Mountain Ranch

Christine & Eric were married October 5, 2008, at Green Mountain Ranch in Lytle Creek. It was a perfect day for this Fall Themed wedding! We decorated the rustic mountainside gazebo with a beautiful fall leaf garland and added a fresh top spray of flowers for the center in the amazing fall colors. The centerpieces were dish gardens that along with the fresh flower blooms included a pumpkin scented candle as well as a fall leaf garland surrounding them. We gave Christine the great idea of doing miniature pumpkin votives on each table. She went even further and made them into the perfect fall favor! The beautiful Fall cake was provided by the wonderful Cucamonga Cakery!

South Coast Winery Bridal Open House

This past Sunday, we participated in our first Bridal Open House at the South Coast Winery in Temecula. This is such a beautiful Wedding & Ceremony location! If you are still looking for the perfect location, I would definitely check this one out! Pictured, are just a few of the favorite bouquets that we had on display that day.

South Coast Winery Bridal Open House

These are some of the favorite Centerpieces from the Open House. The "family style" table settings are definitely becoming more popular! With so many different ways to decorate this type of setting, it was definitely a favorite! Another favorite of the day, was our simple Three Rose Centerpiece! With its unique look, tons of color options, and inexpensive price, this centerpiece remains one of our most popular! Compare the cost of this centerpiece to what it would cost for most brides to make their own, this is a great option! Not to mention, let someone else do the work!

Bridal Show at the Double Tree

Mixed White & Ivory
Pink Peonies



Hot Pink Calla Lilies
Orange & Chocolate Fall Mix Leonida Roses with Gerbera Daisies

On Father's Day we had a booth at the BrideWorld Show at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario. Usually it is so crazy that I don't get a chance to really speak with many brides. This time, I met quite a few brides and was able to speak to them in detail about what they are looking for.

I wanted to share the most popular bouquets from the show. Enjoy!

Sarah & Nicholas at the Guasti Villa

Sarah & Nicholas were married June 7, 2008 at the Guasti Villa. Cranberry, Orange, and Light Greens were the perfect colors for this historic location. Sarah's bouquet was a stunning combination of Black Magic and Spicey Roses, Hocus Pocus Sweetheart Roses, Burgundy Dahlias, Orange Callas, and Green Hypercum Berries. The Bridesmaids carried similar bouquets with the addition of Green Fuji Mums, and Dark Orange Button Mums. The fountain in the courtyard was draped with Ivory Chiffon with a spray of flowers in the wedding colors that made a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony. The aisle was also draped with Ivory Chiffon with flowers clusters hanging from the chairs. Glass cylinder vases with Red Novelty Orchids and a floating candle decorated the cocktail tables which would surround the dance floor after the ceremony. Sarah assembled Manzanita branches in classic urns and provided crystals that were hung from the branches. We added Red Novelty Orchids and Green Cymbidium Orchids to bring in the wedding colors. Alternating tables used the same urns, but with a more classic centerpiece arrangement.
