This weekend we had a lovely bride who had a rainy day wedding, which turned out wet, but still beautiful! Sometimes, you just have to prepare for the unexpected, hope for the best, and above all have fun! If it does rain on your big day, here are some ideas we love...

Succulents

Succulents are one of our favorite floral elements. They are a great way to add hearty geometric shapes to a centerpiece or arrangement. They come in such a variety of colors and look great paired with almost any florals. Whether the look is delicate and feminine, bright or bold, they add dimension and texture unlike any other botanical. Here are some of our favorite ways to use succulents...

We love to use vintage silver goblets, compote dishes, milk glass vessels and other thrifted finds to create collections of succulents for a centerpiece, mantel arrangement, escort card arrangement or other vignette.

We love this succulent table runner! So earthy and luscious and a wonderful way to bring color and texture to a table top without obscuring your guests view...

Love the juxtaposition of the succulent shapes with feminine wisps of feathers and delicate blush roses.

Vertical gardens are all the rage in home DIY. Check out Sunset's how to, or our favorite local nursery, Flora Grubb for great tips, supplies and inspiration!

Peonies for the Weekend!

Gearing up for two weddings this weekend. The first of which is all about peonies, pinks, whites, and classic femininity. The studio has been full of the finest peonies of the season, all in various states of bloom and in every shade of pink! We've been pairing them with white hydrangea, pale pink roses and green and white verbinum. Here are a few sneak peak pics... more to come this weekend!!!!
Happy Friday!
