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

Coral & Khanh at the Historic Mission Inn

Coral & Khanh were married October 24, 2009 at the Historic Mission Inn in Riverside. Coral had seen our work at one of the Bridal Open Houses at the Mission Inn, so she knew exactly what she wanted her bouquets to look like. Bouquet that are entirely made of Cymbidium Orchids are usually for the bride. But, in this case she wanted them for all of her girls! To make Coral's stand out, hers was made with Green Cymbidiums and Purple Lisianthus. This color combination turned out fantastic! Inside the glass vases of the high centerpieces, we placed Lucky Bamboo with Curly Willow accented with Dendrobium Orchid blooms! The Chocolate Brown Manzanita Tree for the place card table was accented with Dendrobium Orchids and Chinese Lanterns.

Tracie & Jeff at the Mission Inn

Tracie & Jeff were married June 13, 2009 at Prophet Elias Greek Orthodox Church with their reception held in the Music Room at the Mission Inn. I met Tracie at the Mission Inn Bridal Open House back in January. She has been such a pleasure to work with over the past few months, I really enjoyed this event! Tracie found beautiful gold backed Rhinestones to wrap not only her bouquet, but also her Maid of Honor's (who happened to be her sister!) The centerpieces were a combination of two different styles. The inside tables had basic centerpieces with accents of Curly Willow. The outer tables were a little bit larger at the base, with Natural Dark Wood Manzanita branches that were accented with Orange Singapore Dendrobium blooms and a crystal garland that Tracie had found in LA while shopping for Rhinestones!

I received this great email on Sunday morning!

Heather,

OMG - - - the flowers were beautiful!!!! I received so many comments about how gorgeous they all were, from all the bouquets to the centerpieces, to every minor accent!!!! You really outdid yourselves and I truly appreciate it.
As soon as I see my photographers photo selection, I will send a couple photos of the flowers for your collection, if you would like.

I just have one quick question.... I would LOVE to preserve my bouquet (not alive, obviously), how would I go about doing that so that they remain in tact and just as beautiful as today? Please let me know if you would.

Thanks again for all your attention and hard work!

Tracie

Liliana & Daniel at the Mission Inn

Liliana & Daniel were married August 22, 2008 at the Historic Mission Inn. Liliana was such a pleasure to work with! She was so happy and excited every time we met! I had a great time with this wedding! Liliana carried a hand tied bouquet of White Miniature Calla Lilies. All six Maids of Honor wore Chocolate Brown dresses and carried bouquets of Tiffany Blue Hydrangea. In the front of the Chapel we hung an all White Rose Kissing Ball with Tiffany Blue Ribbon. The reception held in the Music Room had alternating high and low centerpieces. The low centerpieces consisted of White Hydrangea, placed in a clear square vase adorned with Tiffany Blue Ribbon. The elevated centerpieces of White Hydrangea & White Roses, were placed on tall cylinder vases filled with sparkling crystals.

This is the email I received along with the above pictures...

Heather,

There are no words to describe how beautiful everything looked! Our kissing ball was magnificent...the maids of honors bouquets were sensational and my bouquet was exquisite. The centerpieces were to die for...it was all more than I could have dreamed of!!! You could tell how much time, love and emphasis had been placed on each arrangement all the way down to the boutonnieres and the corsages!!!!! I am sending some pics with this email...as they come in I will send some more. I don't have any as of yet with my bouquet but I will send it as soon as I get it! One of the girls has all the pics taken in the room for you I will send them when they become available. Do not doubt that you have a customer for life and will refer you to everyone I meet and know!!!!
