Photo Shoot | Radionich Ranch | Los Gatos | Part II

Here are some more images of the bouquets and bridal accessories I made for the shoot I talked about here.

I've been wanting to make a purse for a while so I bought a purse covered in moss

and accented it with a coral charm peony along with some ranunculus.

Here is the hair clip I made to match the purse.

 Yellow always makes me smile!  The bouquet has ranunculus, dianthus, ming fern, dusty miller

fever few, white matsumoto, eucalyptus and rice flower.

 Here is a headband I made with some ranunculus, eucalyptus seeds and ming fern.

This photo does not do the bouquet justice - this bouquet was gorgeous in person. My husband said it was one of his favorites thus far.  The purple was so rich and vibrant and the lilac made the bouquet smell oh so lovely.  I used lilac, purple ranunculus, rice flower, purple veronica, ming fern, dusty miller and eucalyptus leaves.

Photo Shoot | Radionich Ranch | Los Gatos

It seems I have published a blank post.  Apologies for this!  I'm not sure what happened and would like to blame it on my computer or the internet but I'm pretty sure it was my fault somehow.  I am sad though because it was a nice thought out post with all of the pictures.  And now it's just going to be pictures.  So sad.

I was presented the opportunity to collaborate on a photos shoot with Karen of Love Life Studios. She sent over some images of lovely 20's, 40's and 50's dresses that she wanted to shoot and asked me to make some flowers and accessories to match.  I was very excited about this since I've been wanting to play around with some different flowers I don't usually get to use.  This gave me a chance to play around and be creative.

Anyway, the first bouquet I made is a modern version of the cascade bouquets that most brides carried back in the day.  I used some eucalyptus leaves to add fullness and to help with the draping and jasmine so it would "cascade".  This bouquet is probably in my top 5 favorite bouquets I've made to date.

Photo Shoot: Botanical Beauty

I had the pleasure to work with Meg Perotti and Yelena of The Stylish Soiree for this awesomely fun photo shoot for a magazine called Magnolia Rouge. Honored to be featured in their 2nd Issue! It's a beautiful magazine with great ideas and inspiration - definitely check it out.

Meg took so many awesome images, I have no idea how Magnolia Rouge was able to narrow it down.  Here are (quite) a few of my favorites!

I found these awesome mushrooms at the Asian Food Market.  Love them!

Press: Cover for Ceremony Magazine

One of my goals for last year was to make it inside a magazine - in print.  Don't get me wrong, I love the blogs and featured weddings they share but there is something about being in a magazine.  It's tangible and you can cuddle with it at night.  So you can imagine how THRILLED I was to find out that I made the cover for Ceremony Magazine that is launching up here in the bay area.  I had a vision for this photo shoot and Mary from Very Merry Events helped me pull it all together.  Her personal touches and cute pie pops were adorable. 

Here is the cover. The magazine should be hitting the stands pretty soon.

Here are a couple of images I took on site.  It got pretty windy so we had to secure the sign with a couple of fish wire.  We also had to take quite a few shots of this so you could see all the letters.  You can see here that the "s" almost got away!

You will also see this bouquet on the cover for Ceremony Magazine in October 2012. Woohoo!

I posted some more images earlier for this photo shoot here.  I also worked on another table top and will post photos of that in the next post.

Editorial Photoshoot | Ceremony Magazine | Mandarin Hotel

Here's a sneak peek of a photo shoot I worked on for Ceremony Magazine last month.  I am very excited to see this in print next year.

 My favorite detail on this bouquet is the ribbon treatment I have for the handle.
