Greengate Ranch

rustic sparkle.  Greengate Ranch, a new equestrian venue, is nestled against the rolling hills of Edna Valley.  It brings an exciting balance of elements - the delicate with the rugged, and refinement with the work-worn.  As our muse, we drew from styles that blend upscale western and timeless romance to create and old-world glamour ideal.  With its natural exuberance, Greengate Ranch is an especially inspiring setting for this florist's dream!


























An abundance of goodness from these incredibly skilled artists and friends:
Venue - Greengate Ranch, Jaime Strand

Cass House Inn Photo Shoot ~ Cayucos, California

floral forward.  There's always something new to discover, and with fashion it can be as simple as a common element interpreted in a fresh way.  No other material in fashion equals the nuances of flowers.  How we adore them!!  Every shade, petal and scent are natural stars that can complete a style.
With all the details that make up your wedding - you will soon find that it is a day truly represented by your style.  The tradition of bridal attire;  be it vintage-charm or modern-chic-couture, can be an opportunity to beautifully reinterpret timeless elements.
Flowers. Whether you desire a vibrant or muted shade - a look of sophisticated tailoring, simple whimsy or theatrical brilliance, this very feminine accessory will enhance your moment that is unquestionably you. They are the crowning accent to a perfectly presented ensemble for this most important day.  Shine!

To feature our inspirations we chose The Cass House Inn - a carefully tended garden full of lush organic goodness and enchanted beauty.  How fun for us to be surrounded by such first class dedication to seaside luxury!  The models were a dream with hair and makeup by the infinitely talented Rhyan Townsend who applied the right blend of drama.  Capturing it all with passion (and patience) was the extraordinarily gifted Michelle Warren Photography.  My heart is full of thanks for my friend Kierna Terrisse/Beautymark Marketing who's my encyclopedia for all things girly!  I am happily humbled by all the fantastic possibilities for the future.
Models:  Cassandra Danae, Meagan Haneke-Hopps, Savannah Juel, Ava Terrisse, Kyla Hall and Gabrielle White

Jacqueline + Matt

summer.  Poised on the endless Pacific coastline, Avila Beach Resort is warm and familiar.  Taking inspiration from the little town that surrounds it, Jacqueline and Matt wished to create a comfortable and inviting mood.  Their vision was tailored to perfection by the master-of-detail, Mark Padgett Wedding Design.  Evocative of both seaside and garden, the elements of driftwood accompanied the finest florals of the season.  To create the soft light within the tent we adorned each window with sheer coverings that caught the occasional coastal breeze.  Since they were already in paradise, their every whim and wish was indulged.
