Andi, Andi, Andi.. one of the coolest chicks I’ve ever has the privilege to meet! From our initial conversation, I knew this was going to be a memorable one. Andi had so many ideas, so much style but ultimately wanted to make it enjoyable for their friends and family. End result.. judge for your selves!!

Andi’s bouquet was made out of succulents, pencil cactus and pin cushion proteas. The stem was wrapped in different textured ribbons that gave this bouquet the perfect touch.

What better way to ride off into the sunset?!

Jennie from Hidden Creek Polo Club in Oregon had a great concept for their executives retreat in La Quinta. When she came to me, we were planning on a night that was sure to be beautiful. Our end result was a design that was unforgettable. With the assistance of some GORGEOUS flowers and plenty of candle light, the carnival lit tent came to life.

I could not wait to show you our most recent wedding at The Parker. With a Palm Springs Glam design in mind and after much anticipation, the day finally came. I hope you enjoy it…

Congratulations Kim and Scott!! You two are deffinately one of thecoolest couples I’ve had the priviledge to meet.

A great way to add life and style to a space is with paper lanterns. This design will take you a long way without having to spend tons on decor. They’re extremely easy to install and come in a vast variety of color, textures and shapes. Simple personalized accents like these make yourceremony, yours. Kim brought even more character to her wedding by using umbrellas for herself and her bridesmaids. Each umbrella was distinct and selected to match the personality, style and color palette of the wedding. Nothing was cookie cutter, everything was hand selected and tweaked to make uniquely hers.

The escort card table was designed with images of movie stars and famous playboy’s that are associated or often visited Palm Springs. As an added touch, a collection of bright bow ties were scattered on the table. This added a masculine flare and definitely something unique to Kim and Scott’s wedding.

The reception was designed with bright colored dahlias on a cushion of fuchsia-purple carnation. The apothecary urns consisted of a chandeliered crystal suspended inside.

The Parker’s pastry chef working away adding final touches to the cake. We designed it inside the walk-in to maintain it fresh the entire time, as well as us. Hello Chef!

Kim and Scott’s wedding was a preview to what’s to come in October. We’ve got a packed full month of weddings!! Each one uniquely customized and designed from our heart to yours.

This was no ordinary back yard wedding. Kate and John’s wedding took place at John’s parents home nestled in the heart of Palm Springs. A gorgeous estate with a fine collection of Spanish inspired antiques and remnants of the homes original owners and fun history. A casino room where old Hollywood stars would spend their time in secrecy gambling and dinking away. The tour of the home was half the fun of designing the wedding!

Every detail was carefully thought out. The ceremony site was idea! You’d think the space was achitecturaly desined for a wedding cereremony, it wasn’t. Floral arragements were strung from Sheppards hooks down the aisle. They led to the center of the courtyard where a rustic well stood. Very romantic!!

The reception took place in the home backyard. Now, you should not confuse this with your ordinary yard, this was a polished, landscaped, cozy and huge space! We transformed it with plenty of lighting from Chinese lanterns and floating candle votive as a favor for every guest.

of this wedding started coming to life, we knew we would have to share it with all you that love and

appreciate weddings as much as we do. It was so wonderful designing a wedding for a bride that

had such great fashion sense and style. On top of it all, working with the ever pleasent ladies at Celebration of Joy

What a dress!! I wish to get married again (to the same man of course!) just so I can wear Jennifer’s dress. She looked stunning.

The nights centerpieces were a gorgeous collection of natural elements with vibrant sunset toned

flowers. Succulents were a must in this mix along with other desert like plants.

The centerpieces were given a modern edge with white ceramic square vases, square glass, a touch of romance with candles.

But what made these centerpieces come to life, was the meadow feel the mini red iris gave off…

End result.. a perfect design tailored just for Jennifer’s style.

When asked to design a bridal bouquet that was non traditional, bright and sophisticated,

we knew just the style for Jennifer. She has amazing taste and knew that it had to be unique,

something that she could hold freely and look amazing at any angle. I was blown away by

the end result and keep this one in my treasure box of all time faves.
