Beautiful Centerpieces for Napa Valley Bride's Cocktail Reception

I'm happy to say that I am now done with Katherine's order!!! I just finished the remaining centerpieces for the high boy cocktail rounds for her cocktail reception after her ceremony. Katherine plans to give these as gifts to her friends who she couldn't ask to be part of the bridal party but who are taking a special part in other ways at her wedding. I think this is such a nice gift if I do say so myself. :)Hmm.. seems to me like this could be a nice addition one day to my Etsy site! LOL. Best wishes to Katherine and Henry on their upcoming wedding day. It's been a pleasure creating these items for them and I cannot wait to see their photos!

Bridesmaid Bouquets for the Napa Valley Bride

Just completed Katherine's bridesmaid bouquets! They are a little smaller and have white hyacinth rather than the purple hyacinth. The stems are wrapped with the reverse ribbon, ivory on purple. I just love how they turned out!

Rustic Elegance - Flowers for a Napa Valley Wedding

In between teaching this week, I've been trying to complete this big bridal order. Will finish it today, but I wanted to share the photos of the bridal bouquet and the high boy centerpieces. Katherine wanted light shades of purple and ivory with a hint of tropical, hence the white plumerias. I love the way it came out. A bunch freshly made clay flowers. Hyacinth, freesia, peonies, Victorian roses, branches and plumerias. Very rustic yet very elegant. I can't wait to see it with her beautiful dress!
She wanted matching centerpieces for the high boy table tops that she intends to give the centerpieces to her friends who she wants to honor even though they can't be part of the bridal party. What a nice gift they will be receiving. :)
More pictures to come soon and then on to the next order on the list...

Thank You Cards - Purple and Ivory Color Palette

An invitation client of mine asked me to create matching thank you notes for her and her fiance to thank their wedding guests with and of course I agreed to help. The original invitation design used the bronze pocketfold and Kerri thought it was too dark for the thank you cards, so we went with the diamond pearl metallic as the main cardstock used for her thank you cards. We also used a different seashell image to incorporate the sand dollar.

This is the 2nd round of samples and Kerri chose the one with her name offset to Greg's. I'm also working on her place cards and her favor boxes for her wedding so those pictures will be posted next week. I have a couple of orders like these for smaller weddings. Kerri and Greg are having their reception at the Grand Wailea Resort (where I just was back in December).Anyway, back to work on my orders and samples... More to come soon...
