A lovely Spring wedding we did earlier this year was recently featured on the ultimate modern wedding blog {Brooklyn Bride}.

When the bride, Amanda first came to the Soulflower studio it was to attend one of our fun flower classes. One thing led to another and she asked us to provide the florals for her upcoming wedding. The next time she came to the Soulflower studio it was to join us in hosting a private flower class as a thank you to her bridal party. You may remember it from a previous {blog post}. We toasted to Amanda, played a little bride trivia, and everyone left with their own centerpiece, stunning if we might add as you can see below.

The ceremony and reception were held at the {White Palace}, a beautiful, modernized Victorian home that served as the perfect backdrop for white and coral florals.

Cheers to great friends and great memories,
Lydia

The beaming couple, Jenna + Deva, were such wonderful wedding clients. The gorgeous photography by Carolyn Quilici for Lisa Lefkowitz captures the couple and the day some beautifully. The ease and beauty that came with working with them showed through in every detail and photograph as you can see.

The wedding day had a fiesta-inspired theme with vibrant fuchsias, pops of yellow and hints of turquoise throughout all the details. Jenna wanted to be sure we incorporated seasonal, festive blooms into the bouquets so we selected the yellow spider mums, fuchsia ‘Thalia’ dahlias, yellow ‘crespidia’ billy balls and fuchsia clover.

They chose to work with a fiesta-inspired theme for their wedding set in the Palm Room of the San Francisco Film Centre. Palm fronds, rattan chargers, vibrant linens and florals dressed their long kings tables perfectly, cheers to a festive celebration!

Even after Christmas, I love remembering all the sparkles and wintergreens we had the chance to incorporate into our holiday designs. Here are some more colorful snapshots from our December festivities and holiday parties.

Vibrant reds with sparkling fuchsia

Winter holiday florals for our accounts

Madonna called, she wants her sequins back!

As we near the New Year, we start playing with bold winter combinations like fuchsia and plum in modern white vessels with grey or white foliage all to tie into the coming winter months: January and February. As we all know, the first few months of the year tend to be the dreariest and sometimes the all together gloomiest of the entire year. That being said, I encourage our clients to bring in bold cool tones to liven up their home or office and beat the ‘winter blues.’ I love this photo for capturing that look and feel, I’m already pondering how to refresh my holiday decor with some bold winter replacements.

Plum and fuchsia with blue spruce!

Before you pack up your holiday decorations and roll out something ‘NEW’ for the year ahead, it is important to toast and give thanks for all that has been in 2010! Cheers to you and yours -may 2011 bring you joy and abundance!!
