When I attend weddings, bridal showers, or baby showers, I literally drool over the gorgeous flower centerpieces. There is just something about the way florists and wedding event designers make putting flowers together look so effortlessly and magical, that I start thinking, I can do this! So, I try to whip up something pretty and make the already amazing looking flowers seem even more extraordinary and then I cry (not really, but that fake little sob that my baby likes to make when he thinks he has an ouch). My flower arrangements look like a hot mess. So, I bow down to all the wedding event designers, florists and anyone else that can fancy up some flowers that simply take your breath away.
I recently had the best time photographing Laura Barraza’s wedding decor for her company, InStyle Blooms. She is currently working diligently on her new website and I am honored that my photographs will be apart of her blog. She created the most breathtaking softy yellow and silver centerpieces for her bride’s wedding at The Ebell Club in Long Beach. If you look carefully you’ll see her craftiness as well. She created paper flowers out of a printed ivory antique-like craft paper. Laura also put together the sweetest candy bar full of delicious yellow-colored candies and chocolate cupcakes. To contact her please visit her Facebook page until her web page is up and running.
Laura you are beyond talented. Thank you for choosing me to help you share your work. I wish you the best of luck with your company and future weddings!
These delicate centerpieces where set out during cocktail hour.
I want this vase!
This is the “new” wedding craze. Instead of putting out individual place cards, couples now opt for a whole display board style seating chart. Very crafty and cute if you ask me!
This venue went so well with the romantic look of the centerpieces and modern table linens.
The cake stand was also created by Laura…she is just incredible.
Sweets!
My favorite photo and idea. Simple, classic and clean looking decor above the elegant fireplace. Tulips in water, who knew? Awesome!
The couple also requested that pictures from their families’ past and present be strung up together to bring an even more personalized feel to their wedding venue.
This was everyone’s favorite floral piece. These beauties were placed on the sweetheart table.
