flowers for friday

i am starting to design my first wedding of this season. i have been thinking a lot oabout how different textures layered one on top of the other add such stunning visual interest, even when punctuated only by one or a few blooms.

I am struck by how well sarah winward accomplishes this in the beautiful arrangement pictured here. to check out more of her gorgeous arrangements go here. 

a wedding in the woods

just a few photos from the wedding this weekend in big sur. it was on a private working ranch so we kept the flowers simple and wanted them to look like they had all come from a big cutting garden. my favorite was the delicate little wildflower headwreath for the flower girl.

the setting for dinner was beautiful. it was on a saddle of land 1000 feet up and overlooking the pacific ocean.

and the cocktail reception and dancing after dinner were held in a little pasture area below grazing horses and rolling mists.
