Boho Chic

Camille didn’t want what was popular or traditional for their wedding, she envisioned a beautiful blend of Bohemian chic with Moroccan touches.

First Wedding in San Diego –

Next One in India!

Since Shawna is from San Diego and Jaideep is from India, this is the first wedding they had here. Later they were able to celebrate with a second wedding in India. They embraced all the traditional American wedding traditions and incorporated a travel theme since they have traveled to 25 countries together. Even their cake topper was a mini Shawna and Jaideep sitting on a globe.

Alexandra and David’s wedding was inspired by 1920’s glamour with a black, white, champagne, and blush color palette.

Starting with a traditional and romantic church wedding at the bride’s alma mater, then the bride and groom were transported to the reception in a vintage Rolls Royce. Their guests were treated a special wedding favor of organic apple brandy from the groom’s family’s Alpine farm.

The secret ingredient is always love!

  Modern, romantic and organic florals that incorporate the cooking theme by using some herbs and berries in the floral arrangements as well as used as decor on the tables. The large bridal bouquet uses blush and white roses and balanced with feminine mixed greens to give it an overgrown aesthetic feel and tied together with a elegant blue velvet ribbon.  The same flowers are carried through to the centerpieces for the tablescape including using herbs in milk glass vases.

Today’s couples are about personalization and experiences. Crystal and Joey love cooking, so we created the kitchen herb garden being a sense of storytelling to this styled shoot. With various shades of green to reflect the colors found in home garden herbs, a pop of femininity with blush, mauves and a statement blue (which happens to be the Pantone of 2020) which balances it with a masculine tone. A modern, delicate and romantic aesthetic featuring multiple varieties of herbs and plant life with a soft balance of color and tactile textures help provide a feeling of life and love.

About the Venue: Located in the heart of La Jolla Village, just one block from the ocean, La Jolla Woman’s Club provides a serene and luxurious setting for weddings.

Wedding Inspiration from a Classic Movie

The look and feel of this wedding was actually inspired by the 1954 version of ‘Sabrina’ – with the backdrop of a beautiful San Diego sunset! The ceremony was held in the Garden and was very personal, a close friend of the family was their officiant, and their female friends and family members shared in the Persian sofreh part of the evening as well. Everyone enjoyed cocktail hour with beautiful flamenco guitar music and firelight before heading to the ballroom reception. There they enjoyed great food, prayers and toasts from their family, and lots and lots of dancing.

A beautiful blend of flowers make a stunning statement.

A variety of flowers including hydrangea, pin cushion, ranunculus, peony, dahlia, roses and greenery blend together effortlessly.  In fabulous shades of peach, pinks, taupes and whites are ideal for this smaller more intimate wedding.  Smaller centerpieces were used for most of the table with the exception of one focal point that appears the centerpiece is growing out of a tree trunk.

More of a party than your typical wedding.

What made Lisa & Ami’s wedding unique was venturing away from some of the “forced” elements that happens during typical weddings. They wanted to have a wedding that allowed people to move around and be free to enjoy themselves. They had a bar opened as guests entered and instead of a sit down dinner they had three food stations focusing on their cultural backgrounds, Italian and Indian, and tacos – their favorite food! And rather than a wedding cake, they chose to have a lavish dessert table and cheese station.

Classic and Romantic with Modern Touches

The wedding was classic and romantic, but had elements that made it modern day like the white washed chiavari chairs to the luxurious floral boxes and gold tapered candles. From the white, crisp, delicate blooms, blush pink bridesmaid dresses and the classic tux this sophisticated wedding style was timeless. The bride loved these geode bookends so much that she went to multiple stores to find enough to turn them into her table numbers.

Jennifer and Cameron picked their wedding location because it was right down the street from where they met and where they love to vacation.

The vibe for their day was coastal classic with palm leaves and orchids down the aisle. They wanted their guests to relax with toes in the sand and a drink in their hand. As a symbol of their love, they took pictures on the beach with a rainbow smoke bomb. Love is love!

Dreamy Boho Florals

The inspiration for the florals and decor for this styled shoot was the season. Embracing the season we are in, is the best way to take advantage of the flowers at their best, when they are in their prime, and makes shopping local a viable option rather than imported product from across the globe in a different season. This also saves money too. The fall season is so rich in warm tones and incorporating some dried product which naturally lends to the fall feeling in nature.  Our model had the perfect ivory complexion and gorgeous auburn hair, she was perfect for the color palette. 

Some of the flowers used were quicksand, toffee, combo, camel, golden mustard, and wabara ioli garden roses, local zinnias, bleached umbrella palm leaves, assorted types of protea, makara orchids and anthuriums.

See more inspiration from Garden Daydreams styled shoot on our website.

Love and laughter and happily ever after was the true feeling behind this sherbert colored boho shoot. The charming schoolhouse and venue lends itself perfectly to the style choice of many of today’s couples, with mature trees and lush landscaped grounds. You should definitely incorporate the on property Chevy truck that serves as a great photo prop for your wedding and a perfect photo booth opportunity for your guests.

About the Venue:  Located in San Marcos, the Green Gables Estate is surrounded by ivy-covered arbors, blooming rose gardens, trickling fountains, picturesque statuary, and thousands of bright twinkling lights. Featuring a grand bridal parlor and vintage gentlemen’s speakeasy, you are provided the perfect setting for your preparations before reciting your vows in one of the three breathtaking ceremony spaces.

Persian Jewish Blend

This wedding was a blend of Sarah’s Persian culture and Benjamin’s Jewish background. They were able to find a great rabbi, who not only performed the Jewish ceremony, but incorporated aspects of the Persian wedding ceremony. It’s a true testament to the diversity of Southern California and the fact that two cultures can coexist and complement one another. The blending continued at the reception where they danced until the early hours to American hits, Persian pop, in addition to Jewish music such as the hora.

A Dreamy Desert Boho Bride and

Abu the Camel

Animals being a part of weddings has already been a huge trend. We’ve all seen the adorable fur babies, beer toking donkeys, and captivating floral adorn llamas, but for this inspirational shoot, a camel plays the central role!

In the desert bright bold colors were showcased. Shades of magenta and hues of goldenrod were central to the vibrant color scheme. A lush and creative design for the bride’s bouquet as well as the tablescape and lounge areas added to the drama.

 

Rustic wood tables were the perfect setting for an incredible charcuterie display spilling over with yummy goodness! Almost like a gourmet mirage in the desert!

5 Native Flowers Perfect for Your San Diego Wedding

By Kim Hess

 A California bride deserves a California bouquet. Flowers native to the Golden State will give your wedding day an authentic California flair. Southern California is home to thousands of native plants. They lend their beauty to the San Diego area, and we have to admit — we’re obsessed by the idea of showcasing native flowers during one of the biggest celebrations of a lifetime. Here are five native flowers perfect for your wedding.

California Poppy

Source: AbsendGardner.com. Used by permission.

The most obvious choice for your San Diego wedding is the California state flower, the California poppy. This brilliantly colored flower grows all up and down California, from the Oregon border, all the way into Baja California. This poppy lights up a floral arrangement with its color — anywhere from blazing orange to a golden yellow. Yellow poppies are more common in SoCal than they are to the north, so you might consider highlighting a more buttery-colored California poppy in your San Diego bouquets and centerpieces. The grayish-green stems and leaves also lend a stylish aesthetic to the greens in your floral arrangements.

 

Showy Penstemon

Credit: Tom Hilton

The showy penstemon is a gorgeous California plant. You’ve seen it blooming on its own in gardens and hillsides. These lavender-blue and lilac flowers grow on long stems that lend themselves to be massed into a hand-tied presentation. The showy penstemon blooms through much of the year and should be easy to find in California.

 

Pacific Coast Iris

Credit: Bri Weldon

The Pacific Coast iris will give you some different colors to choose — white, lavender, dark purple, even pinks, and burgundies. These gorgeous blooms with their large fluttering petals are a graceful addition to any flower arrangement. Whether you pick them by hand out of your garden, or your florist orders them for you, you won’t lose with the Pacific Coast iris. The long stems lend themselves to a presentation style bouquet. But since there’s only one big bloom to each tall stem, the stems can be trimmed and the flowers arranged in a nosegay or other design.

 

Matilija Poppy

Some people say this California native looks a little bit like a fried egg. This gorgeous poppy has large, crinkly snow-white petals that surround a cluster of golden-yellow stamens. Once your guests see Matilija poppies at your wedding, they won’t be thinking about bacon (unless you’re serving bacon at the reception of course!). They’ll marvel over the flowers. The Matilija poppy is one of California’s favorite natives. It was in the running for state flower against the California poppy when the decision was made in 1903.

 

Splendid Mariposa Lily

Credit: Joe Decruyenaere

The splendid mariposa lily was also a runner-up in the state flower contest. Take one look and you can see this lily holds its own against the distinct and lovely Matilija and California poppies. This flower blooms in the spring in California. It has three large petals and can be pink, white, lavender blue or purple. This distinctive flower grows on thin stems, making it an easy addition to any bouquet or centerpiece. The only downfall to the splendid mariposa lily — it’s not the most reliable of blooms, Horticulturists say flowering takes up a lot of energy for this plant, so a yearly bloom isn’t a sure thing. Check with your florist on its availability.

 

Choosing native plants is not just a style choice. It’s also the choice of eco-conscious brides, who want their wedding celebrations to leave a smaller footprint behind. Since they’re easy to grow here, you won’t have to spend a fortune on them. Luckily, in California, you don’t have to choose between being stylish, cost conscious, or environmentally responsible. The Golden State is home to lots of beautiful options.

What girl doesn’t like the sparkle of beautiful gemstones?!?  This styled shoot focused on “Geodes and Gems” and the floral pieces brought it all to life. The color palette of deep dark reds, aubergine, purples and add a pincushion in a golden orange to make it all pop and pull it together.

Music was the inspriation for this styled shoot.  Lot of black and white were used and to offset that with a soft pretty  pink.

From our You Can Bet on Love styled shoot.

The venue itself, The Del Mar Race Track, provided the inspiration for a horse racing theme styled shoot. The color inspiration came from the 2017 Breeder’s Cup Logo at Del Mar, who hosted the prestigious race in 2017. The colors worked perfectly since it matched the colors of Del Mar and were ideal for a wedding shoot. Del Mar is known for “where the turf meets the surf” and the colors were a quintessential match for the surf and sun as well.

Inspired by the fact that Bliss can be found from coast to coast. We find a lot of couples enjoy pulling the “beach” theme into their decor when saying “I Do” by the ocean. The coastal style can be displayed a bit different from the east coast to the west coast and here a bit of both are blended into a fresh, modern look. Using varying colors of the ocean from coast to coast, then bring in a cool pop of orange surrounding it with the dimension of whites & ivories in the florals. A key focal point was creating this ombre feel to the place setting to find the right balance of blues. Gold touches added a modern elegance to the table. There’s a comfy place for the guests to relax and the lounge setup of blue hues would give that atmosphere of ocean water. The bonus feature was the blue TapTruck which completed the setup, evoking a sense of the fun & casual party of a beach style wedding but dressed up with a bar front.

The outdoors and the African savannah was the inspiration for this styled shoot.  Starting with a romantic proposal. The greens and tan you see in the trees and dried grass. The orange, yellow and rust of the sunset. The focal point was the gorgeous arch that had the tans in the pampas grass with the sunset colors in the flowers. All of the flowers, including the bouquet, had pampas grass to tie it all together. The decor included touches like luggage and globes to really emphasis the travel aspect.
