Jennifer and Jeff~ Wedding at the Hotel Laguna

The Hotel Laguna is such a unique venue! Built in 1888 and located right in the middle of all the fun of Laguna Beach, it is truly one of a kind. Jennifer and Jeff chose it for their wedding and used the sweet little courtyard with the gazebo for their ceremony. 

Jessica and Thanh~ Another Laguna Cliffs Marriott Wedding

It's been a busy summer for Laguna Cliffs Marriott weddings! If you have ever been to the Laguna Cliffs Marriott, then you will know why! It is a great place for a wedding! The view is spectacular and there are lots of amazing places for photographing the bride and groom.

Jessica and Than chose a similar color scheme to last weekends wedding- the greens anyway. And of course we had green cymbidium orchids in the arrangements and on the cake! They are so classy and beautiful! And like I said before, Cathy's favorite. Cake by It's All About the Cake- one of the best wedding cake places around!

The sweetheart table. I love the bear grass loops! The head table arrangement ended up being one of our favorites of the wedding.

I love their seatting card idea! And of course our arrangement made it look extra cute :). There were similar arrangements at the guestbook table and the gift table. The bride just started her own wedding invitation business and all her printed pieces were beautiful!!

Speaking of cute ideas, how cute is this? A wrought iron garden screen with photos hanging from it! And of course there were centerpieces on all the tables to match. Doesn't it look great all put together!?

Thank you to the bride's friend and photographer from Green Bean FX Photography and for David Howell Photography for sharing a few of photos from the wedding! You both did an amazing job! You can see more of them on our Facebook page (and there's too, I'm sure)

Jessica and Mark~ Wedding at Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa Wedding

Another wonderful wedding at the beautiful Laguna Cliffs Marriott! And what a beautiful day for a wedding! The bridal bouquet for Jessica looked incredible! (and Joe Latter Photography made it look just that much more stunning) With mini calla lilies, hydrangea, and Cathy's favorites- green cymbium orchids :0) And how cute are the bride's maids bouquets? With bright pinks and greens- so much fun. In the same colors were two pomander balls that were to be hung off shepard hooks on either side of the aisle at the beginning. So fun!


And finally the centerpieces. These were really pretty! Nice and full and again in all the fun colors of the bride's maids bouquets- hot pink and green and tied with a bright green ribbon.






Thank you so much to Joe Latter Photography for sharing photos with us! Cake by It's All About the Cake

Jillian and Eric~ A Wedding on the sand in Laguna

We like to pride ourselves on the fact that we are able to work with brides in all price ranges. We have had brides weep with happiness at the fact that we were willing to help them out even though their budget was tiny because other florists were insensitive to their situation! Plus we realize that not everyone wants a wedding fit for Ceremony Magazine! Jilllian and Eric were just such a couple. They were planning a small intimate wedding on the sand in Laguna Beach- no big Choopa, no rose petal aisle treatments- just a simple little wedding with friends and family! We were happy to help them out and there were so excited to send us photos from their special day.  

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 :)




And don't forget you can see more pictures on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/McCool-Flowers/270571130333.  Thank you to Stacy DeGroot Photography http://stacydegroot.com/blog/?p=740#success for sharing some of the stunning photos!

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??!!
