Bridal Open House at the Historic Mission Inn

Sunday, September 30, 2012 was the Annual Bridal Open House at the Historic Mission Inn in Riverside.  I had so much fun meeting so many new brides!  Current and a few past brides stopped by as well!  Always a good time! 

Haidy & David at Grand Tradition Estate

Haidy & David were married at the Grand Tradition Estate in Fallbrook on August 3, 2012.  Thanks to Cean One Photography for the gorgeous picture of Haidy!

Emily & Stephen at Leoness Winery

Emily & Stephen's wedding at Leoness Winery in Temecula on May 19, 2012.  The Sunflowers had a very personal meaning to Emily, so I wanted to make sure they were used in a very unique way!  The aisle was the one thing that I thought long and hard about.  It was everything I had imagined! 

Emily & Justin at the King's Ranch

Emily & Justin were married at the King's Ranch in Rancho Cucamonga. Emily's all White bouquet consisted of Roses, Lisianthus, Sweet Peas, Freesia, and the most delicate Lily of the Valley! This picture does not do justice as to how wonderfully romantic this bouquet was. Definitely one of my favorites!! The gorgeous Yellow & Green Centerpieces were accented with fresh Lemons & Limes! Mary Jo Gallegos of An Affaire of the Heart provided the flawless coordination!

Jodie & Shawn at the Christmas House

Jodie & Shawn were married May 2, 2009 at the Christmas House in Rancho Cucamonga. I love the colors Jodie picked for this beautiful Spring wedding! Unfortunately there wasn't much sun, but these colors definitely brightened the day! Jodie's bouquet had White Stargazers, Yellow Daffodils, Freesia, Alstroemeria, and Orlando Pink Roses. The bridesmaids wore Canary Yellow dresses with bouquets of Roses, Alstroemeria, Mums, and Solidaster. The hand tied bouquets on the ceremony aisle stood out perfectly against the white chairs! The centerpieces were in Terra Cotta pots, which I think was the perfect choice for a garden location like the Christmas House!

Erika & Rodrigo at the Mission Inn

Erika & Rodrigo were married April 24, 2009 at the Historic Mission Inn. Erika carried a hand tied bouquet of White & Yellow Asiatic Lilies, Alstroemeria, and Stephanotis. The bridesmaids wore Clover Green dresses and carried bouquets of Yellow Asiatic Lilies. The Centerpieces in the Music Room were alternating between Square Vases and Gold Urns. Both had mixed arrangements of Whites, Yellows, and Greens. Beautiful Yellow Cymbidiums made the perfect accent to the White Cake!

Christa & Justin at the Mission Inn

Christa & Justin were married March 7, 2009 at the Historic Mission Inn. I don't get to do very many Sunflower weddings, so I wanted to share a couple pictures from this beautiful wedding! Christa's bridesmaids carried hand tied bouquets of Sunflowers and Leonida Roses. The Flower Girl held an adorable Pomander Ball of Viking Mums with a Chocolate Ribbon. These colors with the Chocolate theme made a great combination!

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 .

Michele & Justin at the Mission Inn

Michele & Justin were married July 20, 2008 at the Mission Inn. Michele chose Yellow as her primary color, which in Summer, is one of my favorites! A Yellow Rose Kissing Ball hanging in the entrance of the Chapel created the theme for this wedding. The elevated centerpieces in Yellow flowers of Roses, Stock, Snap Dragons, Alstroemeria, Mums, Gerbera Daisies, and Dahlias were also used as decor on the altar of the Chapel. The low centerpieces of the same flowers, were done in a bouquet style then placed in a square vase wrapped in Curly Willow. Michele made large Kissing Balls in silk flowers that we hung from the chandeliers along with Ivory Chiffon. The Natural Wood Chiavari Chairs really made a difference in creating a Summer atmosphere to this wedding!

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. The Bridesmaids wore yellow dresses with a brown sash and carried Biedermeier style bouquets of Hot Pink Roses, White Spray Roses, and Yellow Mums tied with Chocolate Satin Ribbon. 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.

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. Jennifer carried a hand tied bouquet of White Hydrangea, Ivory Lisianthus, and Ivory Roses. The bridesmaids carried mixed spring bouquets to accent their Soft Yellow dresses. For the ceremony, we placed a large spray of flowers in the beautiful fountain. White tulle draped the aisle with round clusters of Light Greens, Yellow & Orange Asiatic Lilies and Circus Roses that were also to be used on the cocktail tables. The centerpiece arrangements continued the spring theme with bubble bowls wrapped with curly willow.
