My friends Jannet & Chris got married!

My good friend Jannet and her sweetheart Chris tied the knot on March 1st at the beautiful Los Gatos Lodge in Los Gatos. The weather was perfect during their outdoor ceremony under the gazebo. It was an intimate and emotional and extrememely happy day! There wasn’t a dry eye in the house =o)

Jannet trusted me to do whatever I thought would look good to match the bridesmaid dresses and tables. She LOVED it all! She texted me the next morning just to say she still couldn’t get over how beautiful all the flowers looked. It was a great feeling, to know I met her expectations.

Here are some photos of my work from Jannet & Chris’ awesome photographer Erica. www.ericafoto.com. Erica and her husband are so kind and warm. Great couple to work with!

Erica caught a shot of me pinning Chris’ mom’s corsage.

Diana & Rico

Diana & Rico had a gorgeous wedding at the Green Valley Country Club this fall… She was a beautiful and timeless bride, and so much fun to work with! Their wedding theme was chocolate with yellows and ivories. We created three different centerpiece styles… Diana’s bridal bouquet was a romantic mix of ivory, white, and a hint of pink.  Her maids carried bouquets in rich tones of golds, ivories and browns, with just a little green. Loved it!  Here are some sneak peaks by W Photgraphy!!!  www.wphotography.com (Except the 10th photo down, that one’s from my own dinky little camera!)

30th Wedding Anniversary

Proud to say that this past weekend, my parents renewed their vows to each other after 30 years of marriage! It was perfect. Their wedding color thirty years ago was yellow, so we made it the center of attention in our centerpieces and used it as an accent in our bouquets. The atmosphere was so wonderful, it’s hard to put into words. Ed Pingol did an amazing job capturing the emotion of the day with his insanely artistic flare. My family was very pleased! Here are some shots he took of our work. I hope to post more soon. Enjoy!

Jen & Scott teasers…

One of our very favorite photographers and good friend Jennifer Skog, got married last Saturday! We were honored to have been there! We created the boutonnieres and cocktail arrangements for her black and white vintage vogue wedding. It was a truly a glamorous and amazing day. Thanks for having us Jen!

Being a wedding photographer herself, Jen hired not one, but two amazing photographers to document her and Scott’s special day. The infamous Angelica Glass from New York City and the bay area’s own star Juliet Nicole! What a line up! Can’t wait to post more!

Here are a few teasers from Juliet!

Katrina and David’s Wedding

We had so much fun designing the flowers for this event. Katrina loves yellow! Their wedding was aeronotically themed because of David’s background as a pilot! How fun was this!?

Chrissy’s Graduation Party

french chic ‘bebe’ shower

For Danielle’s Twin Baby Shower, we went with a “french” theme and used sophisticated colors like lavender, white and green. The guests loved the flowers, so we gave away two arrangements as prizes! We also designed the favors for this baby shower. Take a look!

About Karen…

After my own wedding in 2006, I realized my natural passion and love for beautiful blooms.  I loved how much romance and beauty flowers could instantly provide to an event. I love to share my passion by creating personalized arrangements for other couples to help them showcase their style for all their guests to admire.  I look forward to turning the dreams of many couples into sweet reality!
