Did you know....

Did you know that Poinsettias are NOT poisonous? I know, I know, you've always heard that they were.... but they are not!

According to MedicineNet.com "While the genus (Euphorbia) to which the poinsettia plant belongs does contain some highly toxic plants, the popular poinsettia itself is not toxic." Even Snopes.com had something to say about the poinsettia myth! ttp://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/poinsettia.asp

Now, nobody said you can add them to your salad (I hear they taste awful!) but now you can feel safe bringing home a few poinsettia. They make the house feel so festive and cheery! And we have some gorgeous 3 and 4 stem beauties in the store right now! Come by and grab one for yourself or send one to a loved one. Happy Holidays!

Cassandra and Joe~ Huntington Harbor Wedding

We meet Cassandra at the Wedding Show in Dana Point Harbor. The funny thing was that she was planning her wedding at the Huntington Harbor Yacht Club and not the Dana Point one :) She chose us out of all the florists to do her flowers for her and drive them up there for the set up. There were a unique combination of white roses, white hydrangea, stephanotis and dark mini Calla Lilies for the bride's bouquet and hydrangea and white dendrobium orchids for the bride's table and the guest's centerpieces. Thank you to Shea Weddings for sharing the image of the bride and groom and to A Warm Reception, the wedding planner.

Jennifer and Brian~ Casa Romantica, San Clemente Wedding

 If you are planning a wedding in South Orange County, Casa Romantica should defiantly be on your list of places to visit. It is a beautiful, rustic, "Old California" venue overlooking San Clemente Pier and the ocean! We had the privilege of providing the flowers for Jennifer and Brian's wedding there at the beginning of November. No big elaborate centerpieces for this wedding- they wanted simple and clean for their wedding flowers. Thank you to Weddings by Jeanie and Tyler Branch Photography for the photos of the wedding party.
