    The Unique Bridesmaid

    Posted in: BLOG CATEGORIES, bridesmaids, fashion, floral design

    A few weeks ago, Leila at Inspired By This did a fabulous post on mixing and matching bridesmaid dresses. I too, am a huge fan of the look! Bridesmaid dresses are seldom worn again, and giving your maids the chance to pick their own dress makes it more likely that they will wear it again, plus, they can pick a style they feel comfortable in. In addition to probably being worn again and being comfortable, mixing and matching dresses makes for some fabulous pictures and really lets the personality of each bridesmaid show through! After all, it’s personalities that make each wedding unique so give your maids a chance let their personalities come through too.

    Another aspect to help make each bridesmaid unique, is giving them different bouquets. It could be all the same color with different types of flowers, or different styles of bouquets within your selected color scheme.

    Santa Barbara Talent: Nico Designs

    Posted in: BLOG CATEGORIES, Santa Barbara Talent, floral design, inspiration, news worthy, vendor spotlight

    Working in the wedding industry, you get to meet lots of amazingly talented people. The Santa Barbara area especially has some incredible talent, so I’ve decided to start a series of post dedicated to the fabulous wedding vendors in the Santa Barbara area.

    Kicking off the series is the fabulous Nico Cervantes of Nico Designs. I had the pleasure of meeting Nico a few months ago and continue to be absolutely amazed at his talent. He definitely has a knack for style and color, as well as keeping ahead of the trends in the industry. He’s been featured recently on Wedding Chicks and Style Me Pretty, and is definitely one to keep an eye on! Be sure to follow him on twitter and become a fan on Facebook. Below is some of his recent work that I’m completely head over heels for.

    Fantastically Floral

    Posted in: BLOG CATEGORIES, I love..., floral design, vendor spotlight

    Besides all things paper, I have a major passion for floral design in the wedding industry. In the recent issue of Nonpareil, I came across the work of Amy Osaba so I decided to peruse her website and I am so glad I did! Not only is Amy’s work absolutely stunning, she was also a professional ballet dancer and has since retired. How fun it was to find someone in the wedding industry who shares two of my same passions (floral design and ballet)! Amy’s work is so beautiful, and has that garden fresh picked look that I love. Below is some of Amy’s beautiful work. Enjoy!

    I absolutely love what Amy did at the Art of Weddings Event. Check out the full post on her blog here.

    Lovely Lavender

    Posted in: BLOG CATEGORIES, eco friendly weddings, floral design, locations, wedding locations

    According to aromatherapy books, lavender can be an incredibly calming and relaxing scent. Not only is it calming, it’s also a lovely flower dried or live. Including lavender in your wedding decor is a beautiful and budget friendly way to add charm and elegance to your celebration. I think one of the most picturesque places for a wedding celebration is a lavender farm. California has several popping up here and there that are simply beautiful. One in particular caught my eye, Keys Creek Lavender Farm. Located in San Diego County, this farm is certified USDA Organic, which I love! Located on 8 acres of land, it features more than two dozen varieties of lavender, a labyrinth and bee hives where lavender honey is made. Talk about a some beautiful wedding photos! Below is some inspiration for lavender bouquets as well as some pictures of Keys Creek Lavender Farm.

    Wild for Flowerwild

    Posted in: BLOG CATEGORIES, I love..., floral design

    I stumbled upon Flowerwild a few weeks ago, and fell head over heels for their work. It’s whimsical, it’s unique, and it has that fresh picked garden look that I am loving. Kate Holt, owner and lead designer of Flowerwild, has an impeccable eye for color and style, and her pairing of flowers is simply exquisite. Definitely check out their website and blog for more amazing eye candy and inspiration galore.

    Delightful Dahlia

    Posted in: BLOG CATEGORIES, Fall inspirations, floral design, wedding decor

    I absolutely love dahlias. They are so versitle and can be used in many different settings be it a vintage or modern celebration. They look good paired with other flower types or alone in bud vases. My favorites are the bouquets that look fresh picked from a garden, and have that informal look to them.

    Beautiful Balsa Wood

    Posted in: BLOG CATEGORIES, Fun finds, do it yourself, eco friendly weddings, floral design, inspiration, trends

    Talk about an heirloom from your wedding day, balsa wood floral bouquets are the next big thing in floral design for weddings I do believe. These beautiful, forever lasting arrangements are a perfect choice for any celebration and are eco-friendly to boot.

    There are different options when it comes to wood flowers. If you are do-it-yourself kind of gal, Save On Crafts stocks some great options at fairly good prices as well.
