pretty bouquet

Here is a pretty bouquet I did for a couple that eloped in Santa Barbara on Tuesday.........

PlanB

Well this was by far the best Plan B of all time. If you hadn't read my previous post, my good friends Ree & JP were notified 12 days before their wedding that they wouldn't be able to have their ceremony & reception at the South Coast Botanic Garden as they had been planning for close to a year. So....Plan B- Get married at Trump National Golf Club- (and have the sun make it's first appearance of the summer practically) Then toZazou Resraunt and PARTY! What a party it was! The Reception was a bast. They were dancing in the streets, Literally! We stopped traffic on Catalina Blvd. So they could have their first dance under the stars as they had originally planned. It was magical...
It was a wonderful day. I am so happy for them. After all they went through this turned out SPECTACULAR!

Cant wait to post the Pro Pix from Cheryl Ogden

My little Gia was a flower girl

(she announced that she'd be a flower girl the day they got engaged)

This was a wedding that was close to my heart as Ree is one of my closes friends, the best part was she totally trusted me with the flowers & pretty much let me do what I wanted in her color scheme. I LOVED her bouquet! it was totally her, her colors, her style 100%

Such a Beautiful Bride!

The night before the wedding I asked Ree if she had a ring pillow. In all the chaos leading up to PlanB she had forgot about that detail. I had the material for the ceremony whipped this up for her. Think it turned out pretty cute for a last minute detail.

This past week I have witnessed one of my best friends weddings go Haywire!

Ree & JP were slated to have their ceremony & reception at The South Coast Botanic Garden this coming Labor Day Monday. A call came last Wednesday 12 days before their wedding that there was a mistake & the Annual Labor Day Concert was taking place at the same time as their wedding was suppose to be taking place. So they were going to have to make alternate plans- 12 DAYS BEFORE THEIR WEDDING!

Still can't figure out how such an oversight occurred as this concert was even published on their website!

With super human powers (& a little help from their friends) these 2 have re-planed their wedding and oh what a wedding it will be.

I am posting this mostly to give props to Trump National Golf Club who fortunately had their lawn available for Ree & Jp to have their Ceremony on their site. They have been so kind! and taking amazing care of my friends.

Also Zazou Restaurant in Rivera Village, Redondo Beach. JP works with this amazing group but they are more like family. Stephen is the best! They are being beyond accomidating I have never worked with more helpful people!

I can't wait to post the photos from Cheryl Ogden! also amazing for her flexibility with all the changes that have taken place in the past week.

It's going to be a great day. I think 10 times better than the original plan!
