Summer in San Francisco

I have a wedding this weekend and I am excited about the look that I will be trying to achieve. It is an English garden with semi loose arrangements with fruit, vines and purple flowers. A couple inspirational images:

The actual results will be soon to follow.

Photo Shoot II

As promised more lovely photos from Nicole Chubb!

Photo Shoot

I have been a bad blogger but life has been pretty hectic these days. I know no excuse is good enough but I do have some photos from our photo shoot a couple weeks ago. I will be posting the photos in batches, so here is the first round. Enjoy!

Garden Blooms

Some more color from the garden. Can I say more?

Garden Flowers

This is my first attempt at growing Dahlia's and low and behold it worked without too much effort. This is the first of hopefully many. I paired it with some fun pink and gold paper and some of my favorite vessels, an old apothecary jar.

Something Sweet

Sweet peas are everywhere! Here are some from my garden and they just keep coming!

Some facts about sweet peas.

• They are native to the Mediterranean region from Sicily to Crete.
• There meaning is "blissful pleasure in the language of flowers"
