Staged Wedding at Sulca Estates in Elk Grove, California

This wedding was staged to give a beautiful example of how a regular backyard can be made into a wedding venue within hours.  We joined hands with Where I Do Weddings, Catrina Maria Event Planning and Design, and Jenn Bartell Photography Design.  Where I Do Weddings helps couples looking for a more private setting such as a private estate find and locate such a venue.  Catrina Maria Event Planning created the wedding environment by ordering the chairs, draperies, candelabras, linens, etc. to give this wedding its unique look.  Jenn Bartell captured the essence of this backyard wedding in the most perfect way.  Celebrations Party rentals provided the materials for Catrina Maria to design with.

Kathy and Collin Northshore Tahoe- June 2010

Thai Ceremony

Kathy and Colin kneel next to each other on special rod-nam pedestals with their

palms pressed together in the

traditional prayer-like gesture called wai.

Kathy and Colin are anointed with three marks on their forehead, made with sachet powder.

Each will wear a malai – a lei of flowers.

Two circles of woven thread,

called sai mongkol, are

placed one on each partner’s head and

linked in the middle by a single thread,

forming a bond, which

connects the couple and

symbolizes their spiritual union.

Guests are invited to

offer blessings of lifelong happiness, good luck, and

other auspicious wishes, while

pouring lustral water from the sang (conch shell)

over the couple’s hands.

Press on Twin Soup

We were flattered to have our opening announced on Twin Soups website. The article is very cute and explains how we are different yet offer the same services as other florists.  We just want to be a little unique and offer a bit more unique designs that convey the right message.

We are in the process of making our website better.  This picture will eventually be attached to our home page. We love how Jenn Bartell captured the feeling of our flowers in this photo.  For now I wanted to share with everyone the inside of our floral studio.  Garden of Weedon has now been located on K street for 2 months.  The space is beginning to feel like home.  We are enjoying having a larger space to design and the interaction of the midtown shoppers and the midtown business people in general.

Flower Terrarium

ONE OF OUR WEEKLY ACCOUNTS

I just wanted to highlight one of our weekly accounts.  I liked the way this came out to look like a flower terrarium  This is just one idea when you are designing with such a large vase to incorporate the middle of the vase into the design.
