Melissa and Eric~ Rancho San Clemente Tennis Club Wedding

As you may have read here, we did a wedding show at the Rancho San Clemente Tennis Club back in May and this weekend we had a wedding there! Yeah! It is such a cute venue! (could it be that I'm partial to it because it is where I got married??) The garden area with the wrought iron gazebo is just so cute and quaint! And look how spectacular it looks with our flowers adorning it! :)
And our busy bees in the shop putting together the pomander balls...
And look how stunning the bride looks with her beautiful bridal bouquet! Her wedding flowers were amazing! The combination of the blue, white and green was just stunning!

And her bride's maids looked pretty awesome too!
How great are these tall centerpieces!? Now the guests can actually talk to each other :)

Amber and Brian~ St Edwards and Ocean Institute Wedding

Don't you just LOVE the fun colors "A" chose for her wedding?!! Love them! And she also chose two great venues for her event- St Edwards Catholic Church  for her wedding ceremony and (one of my personal faves) the Ocean Institute in the Dana Point Harbor for her wedding reception. If you have never attended a wedding or event at the Ocean Institute, you are missing out! It is one of those comfie, yet elegant venues, with fabulous views of the harbor. And to entertain the kids, there is a real whale skeleton suspended above!

And how amazing are these photos from Jolynee Photography! (her website is really cute too! Click on her name and it will take you there) She took the fun whimsical colors of the brides bouquet and made them pop!

Another advantage of chosing the Ocean Institute, the Youth Docks, the Dana Point Yacht club or any of the other venues in the harbor is the awesome setting for your wedding photos!

How cute are the tables set up for the wedding guests with all the fun colors!? Love it!

Laurie and Kevin~ Wedding at Cannons and a Funny Story!

This is a funny story! This adorable couple- L and K, had almost the exact same wedding plans as Cathy (our fearless leader and owner of McCool Flowers- and yes, her real name is Cathy McCool!). Anyway, Cathy and her sweet husband were married almost exactly 20 years ago to the date as L and K! At exactly the same location (the Blue Lantern Gazebo), we a reception at the same location (Cannon's, overlooking Dana Point Harbor) and a honeymoon at the same place (Tahiti)!! How funny is that??!!

Wedding Show in Dana Point Harbor

What a turn out we had for the Bridal Fair By-the-Sea Wedding show in Dana Point Harbor! Wow! We met lots of wonderful brides-to-be!! Thanks for taking the time to literally "stop and smell the roses"!! (we had these wonderfully scented roses in a couple bridal bouquets)

Our vintage inspired centerpiece and bouquets were quite the hit! Thank you to Archive Vintage Rentals for loaning us the buffet, table, table settings and chairs to make the look all come together!

You can see more photos on our Facebook Pages (yes, there are two!) Our personal page Here or the business page Here.

Michelle and Jordan~ Wedding in San Diego

Another bride that liked us so much that she ordered her flowers for her wedding in San Diego from us!

Meighan and Teddy~ Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa Wedding

Wait until you see the stunning bridal bouquet that our bride Meighan wanted for her wedding at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott! We are waiting on more photos from the wedding photographer as these don't do it justice and will post them as soon as we can! Photos have arrived!! Thank you Alex Neumann Photography! The photos are great!

The bride chose yellow, blue and white as her wedding colors. Look how cute the bride's maids bouquets and the two flower girl's head wreaths are! I love it when brides order head wreaths for the flower girls! They are just so sweet and endearing :)

The groom's men also had coordinating yellow boutonnieres and the groom had an orchid boutonniere. And how cute is grandma with her corsage? :)

The ballroom at the Laguna Cliffs had this great yellow lighting to coordinate with the brides color scheme- unfortunately, it caused the photos to look odd! We was unable to make the flowers look white and yellow without making the photos look vintage! Oh well! Vintage is trendy right now, right?

And a parting shot- this is St Edwards Catholic Church in Dana Point. A beautiful location for a wedding!! Did you know that this is where Kobe Bryant was married??

Thank you again to Alex Neumann Photography for sharing all most of the images you see here!!

Sondra and Michael~ Wedding at St Edwards and Cannon's

A popular combination!! A good old fashioned wedding at St Edwards Catholic Church in Dana Point with a reception to follow at Cannon's overlooking Dana Point Harbor! We have at least 3 or 4 weddings that follow this pattern every year :) 

For Sondra and Michael's wedding she chose beautiful pastels for her bridal bouquet and her maid of honor's bouquet. The flower girl wore an adorable head wreath in her hair and had a sweet little matching 

bouquet for her walk down the aisle.

Thank you Scott A Nelson Photography for posting the video to You Tube. We've contacted him and hope to be able to share some of his photos here soon.

Wedding Show at Rancho San Clemente Tennis Club

This weekend was the Bridal Fair by the Sea's wedding show at the beautiful Rancho San Clemente Tennis Club in San Clemente, Ca. Many people miss this as option for events- weddings as well as other occasions. It is tucked up on the hill off of Pico, with a nice ocean view and ocean breezes! We will try to post more photos of it soon (not just flower photos).





Anyway... the event was lovely as usual! The Bridal Fair by the Sea coordinators know how to put together a great event! We had a nice little spot out by the pool (complete with ocean view- what a way to spend a Saturday!). And we were able to meet lots of wonderful future brides (and a few future grooms).





Of course the hit of the booth was the stunning bouquet with lilacs, heliboris, Porcelina roses and freesia. It smelled wonderful! And was done in the trendy loose style, tied with a satin ribbon.




The other hit was the pink more traditional bridal bouquet made with "Sweet Memories" roses. These are one of the few commercial grow scented roses and they smell sooooooo wonderful!

Our next bridal show will also be with Bridal Fair by the Sea. But this one will take place at the Dana Point Yacht Club on May 22nd. If you are, or you know someone who will be getting married any time in the next year, be sure to pass along the info!

PS- Thank you to Jen O'Sullivan Photography for sharing some of the photos from the event! You can see more photos on our Facebook page!
