Flowers by Susan: Couture Florals
July 18, 2010

I've been colaborating with my friend Susan on her floristry for about 6 months now to create a totally new web site for her. (The first post I did is here.)

As you can see from just this small sampling, she can design anything, from traditional to avant-garde.

Having awesome flowers at your wedding can really enhance your experience by adding drama, style, and tying your color scheme together.

Here are just a few of my faves.

Enjoy!

I chose Neil Young's title track from the erarly 90's album "Harvest Moon."  The grapes aren't being harvested, but their was a beautiful moonrise as I was leaving :) The show may take a bit to load, but it's worth the wait!

Enjoy,

Jen and Jake's wedding at Malibu Family Wines
June 29, 2010

Jen and Jakes fabulous vineyard wedding was on Sunday June 27 at Malibu Family Wines.  They love to have fun and party!  We took the chance to go visit some of the animals on the property, and Camp Cabernet, a location filled with vintage air stream trailers.

Elizabeth and Michelle from Me and Serendipity made sure everything ran smoothly.

Yummy food by Command Performance catering.  Flowers by Boulevard Florist.  Cake by The Bread Basket Cake Company.

Enjoy!

This is as nervous as Jen got (just before seeing Jake) the whole day.  The rest was all smiles and no tears  :-)

The property has a lot of animals including zebras, buffalo, and even a camel.  The Zebras didn't like us, but this horse was very friendly.

Does this cake topper look a little old fashioned (even from behind)?  That's because it was used at Jen's parents wedding some 40 years ago :)

Jericha and Paul's Hawaii wedding slideshow
April 08, 2010

I picked a beautiful song by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole off of "Facing Future" for Jericha and Paul's slideshow.  Besides being an awesome song, it has an elegance and simplicity that really complements the spirit of their day. Please be patient as it may take a while to load :)

The show moves fast, so feel free to watch it twice :)  If you want to see individual images from the show, move your mouse to the lower right corner (next to the music note) to where it says, "Browse Gallery View."  Click on it and you can view large thumbnails; if you click on any thumbnails you can see the image at the regular size within the slideshow frame.

Mahalo,

Michael
