Citrus Wedding

 

A couple of weeks ago, we gathered up boxes of citrus fruit, bunches of bay branches, and bucket of white flowers -- peonies, garden roses and sweet peas. We were even able to find some unexpected and late season philadelphus, which many mistook for citrus blossoms. All contained in silver vessels we placed these little jewels down three long tables at the Berkeley City Club, famous for its architect, Julia Morgan. Here are a few glimpses taken by Darwin...

And then there was this day... I was reminded of this truly fantastic place when I recently read that photographer Jose Villa is planning a workshop there for the fall.

ombre Happy to share these photos from a couple of weeks ago at Soda Rock Winery. Enjoy Events Co invited us to do the flowers for a rehearsal dinner -- the opening act of a three day wedding extravaganza in Healdsburg. The floral theme for this night, as you'll see, is ombre, shading from red to peach and yellow, all contained in pretty silver bowls. Peonies, garden roses and poppies galore. All the photos are by Darwin. And oh, the great bentwood chairs are from YEAH rentals.
