You know that when a wedding is being put on by a family of florists that you’re sure to see some very special touches. I loved the combination of the burlap with the lace. The bright coral in the roses was a nice pop of color next to the silver leaf in the centerpieces. If you’re questioning the rooster chairs, the groom LOVES roosters so it was a reoccurring motif. It’s those personal touches that make a wedding special. Another beautiful touch was the strings of white flowers hanging down on random branches. It was quite beautiful when the breeze picked them up. If you love these flowers, check out Franco’s Flowers in Encinitas. It’s one of the BEST flower shops! I love it! http://www.yelp.com/biz/francos-flowers-encinitas Congratulations Cynthia & Fernando!

Dark teal and orange has to be one of my favorite color combinations. I absolutely loved all of the special touches that Crystal and her friends and family put into this wedding. They were too numerous to count. I think maybe my favorite is the aisle. It was so beautifully done. Behind the Scenes provided the catering for this event. The food was amazing and I really enjoyed working with their staff. Their chef made the cake as well and the chocolate mousse and the champagne raspberry had guests coming back for more. Tears of joy were shed during the heartfelt toasts. Such a warm and loving couple and family. It was a pleasure spending this last year with them.

Mike and Michi’s wedding was as original as the two of them and they wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Michi worked that aisle as she came down to “She’s Bad Mama Jama” and then they celebrated to Cypress Hill’s “Jump Around.” From their amazing custom made invitations to their centerpieces made from Crystal Head Vodka bottles. This party rocked the house. Tasty BBQ was served from Brett’s BBQ and VG Donut and Bakery designed a cake to die for! Of course our house DJ Steve Hasty had the dance floor packed. Here is a sampling of the festivities.
