Last weekend was the end of wedding season for me.  I still have a few more weddings but no big weekends.  I’m looking forward to the break.  This gives me a chance to recoup and get up my energy for next season.  I loved both of the bride’s bouquets that I made for Friday’s weddings.

We had an Open House on Wednesday, Thursday and even Friday.  Here are some pictures from our event.

Ashley’s wedding was at her father’s house.  What a beautiful location.  Huge oak trees shaded the ceremony area next to the house.  The reception was down in a rented tent in one of the horse rings.  Talked to her father the other day and he said it was one of the best days of his life.  Everyone had a great time.  Here are some pictures of the flowers.

A beautiful day at Wilson Creek Winery.

I have been working on this wedding for almost a year now.   A few months ago we ran into a major snag.  Erica & Victor wanted candle light to be a major part of their reception but Ponte had to change their policy on no flames until after the first of the year.  I met with them after we learned this and tried all different ideas until we found one that they liked.  We used lots of battery operated lights but  masked them with either with colored glass or black water beads and crystals.

They also had a vision for the arbor.  I think I achieved it because after the ceremony Victor commented to me that they really liked everything.   Here are the pictures from their wedding.  I wish that the picture of the arbor came out better but hopefully I will get professional pictures when they have them.

Met with a lot of brides on Sunday at the Bridal Bazaar.  I also had an arrangement in the gallery.  Those are always fun because I can do really different things.  Here are some pictures from it.

Lots driving on Friday with a wedding at the Hotel Del Coronado in the morning on the beach.  Then we drove to Temecula in the afternoon with a reception at South Coast Winery after the ceremony at St. Peter’s church in Fallbrook.
