Unique and long lasting wedding arch garland with blooms by Gorgeous and Green

A unique arch for a Russian River Wedding

We love getting wedding orders that inspire us to create amazing things.  Like this fabulous 12 foot garland for an wedding arch.  The couple requested purples and greens, with dark and light accents. We included poppy pods, onion blooms, eggplant callas, mossy green dianthus, curly willow, orchids and other blooms.

Large foliage and floral arch for a wedding in a barn by Gorgeous and Green

A little bit Country, a little bit Vintage Wedding

A couple of weeks ago we created beautiful wedding flowers for a favorite customer of ours. The vibe was natural, vintage inspired, classy and a bit country. The reception and ceremony took place out in Oakley, CA in a beautifully restored barn and neighboring field. Without any distractions around, the setting was beautiful, peaceful and perfect for a celebration of over 300 guests. Here are a few shots from the designs we created:

Beautiful sunset or sunrise colors by Gorgeous and Green

My Favorite G&G arrangement

This one is my favorite for a few reasons.  First, it's all local.  Including local roses, which is really important to me, in case you haven't seen the stories about mass rose growers in Ecuador and Latin America and the lack of restrictions in other countries in regard to environmental and social costs.  I proudly support local rose growers. Second, it's all about the colors we use.   I love the warmth of the orange, red and yellow variations.  It reminds me of a beautiful sunrise or sunset.  Like so many of the beautiful sunsets we witness here in the bay area, with the San Francisco and Golden Gate Bridge skyline. Or the beautiful sunrises I get to witness while I'm traveling over the Bay Bridge to get flowers in SF.

bay sunrise, a gorgeous and green seasonal offering for local delivery

It's called the Bay Sunrise arrangement and it's available in the Gorgeous and Green online store for local delivery via bike courier. It's such a big hit for local deliveries, that we have started to offer in larger sizes.

Here it is in it's grandest size: Just thought I'd share some pretty pics.  And share again how important it is to go with local with your purchases when you have a chance! In Green and Local Support, G&G

Ceremony Magazine photo shoot

A Gorgeous and Green Styled shoot at the Garden

Yesterday Gorgeous and Green created a tablescape for a rustic English Garden styled wedding, and where did I choose to set it?  At the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden of course!  I love the location because it's so close to home, I'm super familiar because I've done a load of weddings and events here, and it's beautiful.  For local couples and anyone looking to throw a party, it's a great and fairly inexpensive place to have your event.  I chose to set the table in the Redwood Grove, and the setting was almost magical. Here's the magazine layout from the photographer, Brittany Waddell:
