Hi friends! Long time no see! I just wanted to share with you some shots I took of the beautiful peonies I picked up at Trader Joe’s this past weekend. Peonies are hard to come by here in Orange County, CA; they are usually only available for the month of May into the beginning of June.
I think I need to make one more trip into Trader Joe’s and pick up some of these pretties before they’re gone for the year.
Have a fabulous day!

Hi guys, it’s me! It’s been awhile since I’ve seen you all, sorry for the quietness here lately. As usual, things have been busy!
One of my favorite details of our wedding would have to be our reception decor. Flowers were a super important detail to me in our wedding and our floral designer Natalie blew me away with the set up. We decided to go with two different table centerpiece looks – 8 tables with red roses, peonies, and dahlias in a black square vase and 8 tables of white hydrangea in black vases as well as tall pillars with floating candles. The end result was so elegant and romantic! We also added groupings of red and white votives to each table to include more candlelight.
Here’s a look at one of our centerpieces:
Our second centerpiece:

And there you have it, how gorgeous was the set up? Ryan and I were so impressed, it was beautiful! As far as table centerpieces go, don’t be afraid to mix it up a little bit!
Have a fabulous day!

Kris
Good morning friends! I hope you all had a great weekend and a good day Sunday celebrating with dad!
I thought it was about time for an updated header picture from the wedding as well as a new background. Natalie did an amazing job putting together the sweetheart table with beautiful deep red freedom roses, white hydrangeas, and red peonies. Along with the regular votives, I had a few Z Gallerie votives that went perfectly with the overall look. I love everything about this table.
So, what do you think of the new layout?
Have a great week, see you back here soon!

Kris
Hello friends! Hope you all had a great week and are ready for the weekend! I wanted to share with you our gorgeous ceremony altar flowers from Natalie Galasso Designs. I started out with an inspiration picture like this one:

I knew I wanted some kind of black urn to hold the flowers, all red with possibly some touches of white florals.
We couldn’t have been happier with how they came out! These beauties were taken into the reception once the ceremony was over.

Isn’t my husband cute? Oops, back to the flowers. Black footed urns were composed of deep red roses, peonies, dahlias, mokara orchids, amaranthus, and white hydrangeas. I love how the colors just popped!
Have a fabulous weekend!

Who wants a painting of one of your favorite wedding details, the bouquet? You guys, I love this idea! I first saw this concept over on Wedding Chicks and wanted to share it with you! Sarah Park creates custom watercolor paintings of your wedding bouquet, forever preserving your flowers in a special way. I’m definitely bookmarking her Etsy site, Sarah Park Designs, for future reference! What a great gift this would be for a recently married friend or from a husband to wife.

Hi friends! Did you miss me? Today I want to share with you some of my own wedding bouquet inspiration. For my bouqet, I’ll be going for the deep, dark red roses with black accents and maybe some black cala lilies mixed in. To be honest with you, this 1st bouquet basically made the decision for me on my choice of wedding colors – black, white, with pops of dark reds. I just love the romantic and classy feel of it.

Hello and happy Monday! I wanted to share a cute find I came across on Etsy the other day. The shop Sunny & Stumpy make beautiful and realistic looking ranunculus bouquets, cake flowers, and paper goods such as programs and cards.

Succulents are some of the easiest plants to grow. They require little attention and make for the cutest arrangements in your home or garden. I’ve become obsessed with these little plants lately and they’re becoming a huge trend in the wedding industry. There are so many darling uses for this fun desert-like plant in weddings, from invitation decor to place card settings, and my favorite – succulent bouquets. I recently picked up a pot of succulents from Trader Joe’s and they’re the perfect center piece for my kitchen table. Here are some of my favorite succulent details … enjoy!
