Monday cutie: Missy+Chad and a feature on 100 layer cake!

Here’s a super special sweetie for you! Missy+Chad were married at HammerSky Vineyards in Paso in late April. The day was gorgeous and perfect in every single way. Jill Thomas captured some lovely photos and Ashlyn+Heather over at Carter&Cook Event Co. handled the details flawlessly. Missy+Chad’s wedding was picked up for a feature on 100 Layer Cake – it’s not hard to imagine why is it? See the full feature here.

Sweetest ever.

Monday cutie: husband of the year, mama love and a coconut cake

This past week was pretty intense. It was so intense that I missed the 4/18 Monday cutie – not that anyone complained (except Sarah!). It was a busy busy week filled with lots of fun things, lots of work related things and lots of Easter-y things.
Fun = mom, Josh and I had our photos taken by the super awesome Ken Kienow (photos coming later), we cooked an Easter feast complete with homemade coconut cake that happened to be incredible and shopped till we dropped in downtown SLO.
Work = a 7am set-up in west paso for a morning wedding. This is where Josh wins husband of the year. He woke up with me at 5:30am, helped me load the van with blooms, took me to get some coffee and then hung strings of peonies in a huge oak tree using rocks and fishing line, then came back to SLO and did all the flower deliveries for the shop. I HEART HIM and couldn’t do what I do without him. Work also included mom and I setting up a second wedding in the afternoon. The florals were perfect for the setting and the “love fence” was our favorite. Mom set up the centerpieces perfectly and it was so much fun to have her there working side-by-side with me. I think we make a pretty good team!

Easter = a perfect morning celebrating Jesus’s resurrection at Calvary with a friend who is a friend I will have forever – I luuuurrrvvveee her! Then home to make a feast of yummy-ness for friends and family to enjoy. 1st try at making this coconut cake was a hit and a recipe I’ll be filing away for use again in the future.

Monday cutie!

Here’s a Monday cutie for you! Natalie and Matt are cute as a button…yes…as a button and shared an awesome day with family and friends a while back. This is a very special post because Alana Weaver, who is one of the shop girls, designed these flowers AND also put together all the sweet touches and coordination for Natalie and Matt. Find her at the flower shop if you’re looking for a event designer/coordinator! Alana would also love it that I’m calling this post a Monday cutie! Happy Monday friends! Glad to share some images with you courtesy of Ryan Froese

Vanessa+Tryg

I have been so anxiously awaiting these photos to come in from Ma5en Photography because I couldn’t wait to share. I heart these flowers – plain and simple – I love them. Vanessa and Tryg live in New York so we worked out all the details long distance. They had a clear vision for the day and I really think it came together beautifully. Thanks to Kelly Oshiro Events for putting together the pieces of this wonderful puzzle and to Bianchi winery for having such a fantastic setting for Vanessa and Tryg’s wedding.

    I love the flowers you did for this wedding! I am always so attracted to this palette that you create- the combination of natural tones and various textures. I love the different shades of green, white, and a subtle pop of purple and coral. Also, I think I see a tearose- one of my favs! Beautifully done, April.

Jessica+Jason

I met Jessica about only a month before her wedding. Her mom, Jerri, and I had been in contact via e-mail and phone but we had not met face-to-face. When I met Jessica and Jerri in person I couldn’t have asked for a better meeting! These two were fun, happy and ready to get plannin! We quickly drew up the details and the result of all their hard work was a beautiful day filled with an intimate group of their closest friends and family to celebrate Jessica and Jason’s marriage. Thanks to Montana Dennis for sharing these great images. Check out his site here
