UP LIGHTING IS HERE!!! Check out the dramatic difference! Wedgewood at Eagle Ridge now offers this up lighting throughout the room. I find it very effective behind the cake table - see for yourself!
Your color choices are almost endless...please contact the Wedgewood Sales staff or CJ Wallace, the DJ 408-644-0948 for additional information and pricing.

BOUQUETS are as unique to the bride as they are to the wedding dress. Have your bouquet reflect your personality and your dress; it should be a compliment and not a distraction.

COMING UP ROSES...in the classical sense. Mixed Black Bacarra, Sahara & white roses have a dramatic affect, yet simple and timeless. Add a personal favorite flower like an anemone for a little more dimension.

This is one of the hottest (PINK that is) weddings I've done so far. Thank you Yolanda for sharing them with me.

WEDGEWOOD CEREMONY DECORATION

Remember to take in consideration the elements of Mother Nature - wind, heat, direct sun, and rain when designing the look of your ceremony. I've seen aisle runners taped down to just be blown like a sail over the gazebo. Morning weddings seem to fair much better because the wind is light, the sun isn't full strength or directly in front of the gazebo. INCONTRAST, the afternoons can be breezy,warm, and in full-direct sun. I recommend laying down any rose petals 10-15 minutes before the ceremony start - (1) to keep them looking fresh & (2) to keep them from blowing away. There is nothing worse than spending your money and time just to have the petals scattered about the grass and not down your aisle.

This last Saturday, 5/31, I got to work with my favorite photographer and personal friend, Annie Rowland. www.akrowland.com It was a beautiful setting at the home of the groom's grandmother located on Redwood Retreat in Gilroy. The fires were out, the sun peeked through the canopy of lush forest and it was just heaven. Thank you Kerri and Dan for allowing me to be apart of your special day, and big thank you Annie for sharing your fabulous photos with me . . . you always make me look good.

It's a beautiful day in early October, 2007 at the Brazil Ranch which is just outside Big Sur, and Casey and Jessie are gettin hitched!
I did the bridal flowers and Steve presided over the ceremony which took place along the mountain side over looking the valley and the Pacific Ocean. The home once belonged to Alan Funk of the 70's "reality" show "Candid Camera." The reception was held down in the valley in the cleaned out and deck up horse barn.
