How about a pretty little vase? / Sacramento Wedding Flowers Florist DIY Bulk Wedding Flowers







Victoria, for your green and pink wedding flowers, here's another idea: the pretty little vase from cathywraps! The paper covering the little pot is recycled, so it's eco-friendly. And, I like to use these as chair decor or pew decor, so you can get double the use from them, by bringing them into the reception. I just love these! They are very reasonably priced, and don't take a lot of flowers to fill them. Cute for flower girls, too. Let me know if you are interested in them, and I can get them for you (brides not in Sacramento area, I do ship!). They come in different colors, and have different coordinating prints on each side!

Streamlined Pink & Green / Sacramento Lake Tahoe Wedding Flowers Florist



I loved the look of these images that Victoria forwarded to me before we met for our consultation that I had to put them together into an Inspiration Board. I love the mono-floral and duo-floral, streamlined, organic look of them - the grass, the twigs, the rocks, the glass, the moss, the terra cotta, everything. I just wanted to share this great Pink & Green look with you - and this is a great example of how to show your florist the look that you are after. I see the colors, I see the style, and I can offer other suggestions too. This look will definitely fall into the Seasonal Flowers Collection...love your style, Victoria!

Update after the wedding: Victoria DID use those cute little escort carts on the lower left....they were cool!

A Real DIY Wedding - Stacey & Eric are Married! / Sacramento Lake Tahoe Wedding Flowers Florist


What a beautiful indie bride Stacey was! It didn’t snow on her day, it did rain, but she told me that the rain let up enough for her and Eric to get some outdoors photos. She chose lovely green roses, orange spray roses, safflower, marigolds, sunflowers, barn red poms, and brought a vine and eucalyptus from home. To tie the bouquets together, she chose twine for a textural feeling. Even her dad pitched in to help make bouquets, and everything turned out lovely. She added dried lotus pods - which I provided to her - to her centerpieces for an autumn feel. Do you love her arbor? She said that each guest placed a flower on her arbor to show their support of her union with Eric.

Stacey was a great DIY bride. She had a good idea of what flowers she wanted, and asked for seasonal suggestions in her color palette. She didn’t get upset when the green sunflowers she really wanted for her wedding were not available at that time, nor were the brown eyed susans (just a little too late in the season, and not enough advance notice). She rolled with it when it rained on her day and she didn’t let the weather stop her from having a wonderful day. Cheers, Stacey & Eric, best wishes for a lifetime of happiness!
