The Flower House
We had the great privilege of working with Sugar Rush Events last August for the most spectacular wedding at The Ritz Carlton Hotel in San Francisco. We had a bride that was of pure elegance that new the finer things in life and what could they bring for her wedding. With over two hundred guests to fill the beautiful ballroom of the Ritz she wanted no one to feel left out so all the tables of rectangles and squares (wanted a clean modern feel) got tall full abundant florals and small clusters of flower underneath.
The Bride wanted simple bouquet of all white calla lilies and her bridesmaids wearing a celadon green had a stunning mix of blush pink calla lilies. To continue the simple elegance miniature cymbidium orchids were worn for the men’s boutonnieres.
Getting that amount of flowers and supplies from Livermore to San Francisco in our commercial vans seemed to be a little more challenging so we had to rent a 26 foot refrigerated truck to store all the flowers and use it to transport into the big city. An adventure it was! It was the most rewarding of our career! A special Thank you to Verite Photography for these amazing photos!

We went all the way to Point Reyes Seashore Lodge to setup this beautiful country summertime wedding. Yes, we do travel, especially when Wedding Planner, Kristen Jensen of Sugar Rush Events asks you to join her on another wonderful wedding adventure. Take a look at all of the wonderful details for this wedding. Mason jars hung off of the chairs for the ceremony and then were placed on Hartmann Rentals beautiful Yellow Rumba linen. The tables were different shape jars and bottle that carried the same white, peach and yellow florals and placed peaches on the tables to create a fuller look. Thank you Verite Photography for these amazing photos!
The bouquets were wrapped in twine and buttons placed down the stems to give that extra vintage feel.

Rustic Wedding at Boa Ventura Winery
0 Comments | Posted by jingerl in Rustic, weddings, winery weddings
We loved the colors of this wedding. Bright and Vibrant red, yellow, orange and a pop of lime green. To continue the mason jar madness we used them for the aisle off of the Shepard Hooks as well as the table centerpieces. The bridesmaids wore poppy red dresses and cowboy boots to complete the vision of a casual country wedding at one of Livermore’s great wine country.

Purple Heaven at Leal Winery

Shades of purples have been the main color for the past two wedding seasons. At Leal winery that were the perfect complement for the barrel room which held the reception. They also beamed off of the sunlit path as they walked down the aisle. Such a s great couple to work.

The Beautiful Murrieta’s Well
0 Comments | Posted by jingerl in Rustic, fall weddings, weddings, winery weddings
We had the great pleasure of helping our beautiful bride Addie with her fall inspired rustic wedding at Murrieta’s Well.The colors were rich burgundy, oranges and bright yellow. Addie liked structure and textured so her bouquets was roses, callas and orchids and she was able to put a small cluster in the side of her updo.
The one thing about the well that I think people go wrong is the linens. You want to compliment the room and design choice. We did a warm burlap taupe with dark wood chairs. The twine on the napkins continued with the rustic feel. The centerpieces were made in square wood boxes with a great deal of texture such as sunset safari and green bunny grass.
The altar was created with barrels and rust french pots with the same texture as the centerpieces and bouquets. The petals down the aisle soften the concrete to complete the vision. Congratulations Addie and Bronson!
We had the great pleasure of working with Kristen Jensen of Sugar Rush Events for this backyard country wedding in San Ramon. Our bride wanted elegance but different textures for her bouquet. Textures of smooth callas, fluffy peonies and round pods and artichokes make these bouquets a feast for the eyes.
The main color was pink so we added some great texture for the groom’s boutonniere.
The centerpieces were small and large jars collected over the years of special meaning to our couple. Also with a little help from PJ Rude of Milk Glass Rentals we were able to create full stories on the tables with props such as old books, Pepsi crates, clocks, bird cages etc.
The cake was perfectly framed to finishing this vintage wedding with a suitcase from Milk Glass rentals. Look at the classic champagne glasses. Everything was perfectly styled.
Thank you to Verite Photography for sharing these amazing photos.
The great venue of Murrieta’s Well our brides wanted an all yellow wedding with a vintage country feel. 
Here at the Martinelli Center we created a elegant country feel. The aisle with framed with shepard hooks and greenery with a hanging votive with white, ivory and bronze flowers.
The tables were draped with krinkle chocolate linens to create a feel of tree bark. Six of the tables in the room where tall manzanita branches with white orchids.
The low lush arrangements are all whites and ivories with curly willow branches to complete the earthy feeling of the event.
