The rest of the baby shower was designed by Erin Palos of Palos Studios with one of her friends. They did such a beautiful job pulling all the details together including these:





I just love to see how far a little inspiration goes!

Dr. Seuss Inspired Floral Arrangement Teaser

Recently, Erin (a great photographer and super pretty) of Palos Studios asked me to come up with some creative floral design concepts for a Dr. Seuss baby shower she was putting together. And let me just say....Erin is my favorite type of client!!! Why? She handed me an awesome design concept and gave me the freedom to run with it. So, what did I do? Having kids of my own, I have read almost every Dr. Seuss book. But I decided to google images of Dr. Seuss picture books to see what would spark my interest. It was hard to narrow it down but of the design concepts I sent over to Erin, the two she picked happened to be my two favorites. Here are the images that were transalated to florals:

The Lorax Trees


Any guesses on what the florals ended up looking like?
What might you do?

See you Thursday with pictures of my floral interpretations!

Pop - The Bridal Event at The Americana by Brand in Glendale, CA

On February 20th, Pop - The Bridal Event showcased their inaugural bridal show at The American by Brand in Glendale.


Special guests including David Tutera, party planner to the stars, and Ines Di Santo, world renowned designer, made an appearance. And with gorgeous Southern California weather at hand, a bridal fashion show was held outside.


Here are a few of my favorite dresses.








So maybe there were more than just a few faves! But it was too hard to narrow it down to 2 or 3.

And Candice of De-Lovely Events and I collaborated on a design for her table. I loved her color choice of burnt orange, peridot green and slate grey!


Here are the detail shots of the florals by Yours Truly!





A special THANK YOU to Jen O'Sullivan for allowing all the vendors to use her images! The photos are gorgeous!

Floral Design Class 2 and 3 at The Wedding Pantry

I had the privilege of teaching a few floral design classes at The Wedding Pantry. In the last two classes, we went over bouquets and centerpieces. I have to say that I was lucky to have all great students on board with innate senses of design. Enjoy the pictures! A special THANK YOU to Drexelle of D Park Photography for the beautiful images!
