Details Make the Difference | Carolynn and Jon

By, May 31, 2016

Today, it’s all about the details :) We were impressed by the sophisticated and meticulous details on Carolynn and Jon’s big day, and decided to highlight them here. This dreamy Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club wedding was put together by Monarch Weddings, who helped turn the initial vision into reality. You can definitely see the love and care that went into to every little aspect of this day.

Carolynn and Jon’s wedding is a beautiful example of how the small touches can really make the difference. We hope you enjoy our image selections below :)

Exquisite Blooms Florals at US Grant Hotel Wedding | Ryan and Eric

By, June 15, 2012

Here at Exquisite Blooms, we describe our style as exquisitely organic. Instead of specializing in perfectly round or precise arrangements, our arrangements are more loose and free while still maintaining a polished look and style. We like to have fun with the arrangements’ shapes and styles in a way that is stylish and modern.

For example, I was honored to be the florist for Ryan and Eric’s “Big Day.” I worked closely with Ryan, as well as her wonderful mom Liza, to create perfect pieces that fit their contemporary theme. Their florals were designed specifically to accent the jewel-toned ambiance of the Celestial Ballroom at the US Grant Hotel.

One of my favorite moments of the wedding was when the room was completely set up, and the lights were dimmed. You could see  that the uplighting was in full effect – the entire space was breathtaking! Every last detail came together perfectly. Even though I do weddings for a living, I can honestly say it was one of the most beautiful rooms I have ever been a part of. It was absolutely perfect.

From the escort card display, to the top of the wedding cake, to the bouquet toss, the florals at this wedding worked beautifully together. Everything complemented the chic vibe we were going for. What a grand celebration!

By, April 24, 2012

As co-owners of Elegant Touch Floral Designs, we put our extensive floral experience to work for our clients.  Our vision is to provide outstanding service and exceptional quality at an affordable price. We do not set any minimum on orders, and we will work with any budget, big or small.

For every wedding, we work closely with our clients to understand their needs and ideas, and to fulfill their visions. Whether you are looking for a garden effect, traditional, contemporary, or something completely unique, we love to make our bride and groom’s dreams come true!

For example, our clients, Kathleen and Rob, live in Washington DC and they decided to tie the knot on the gorgeous rooftop of the Manchester Grand Hyatt in downtown San Diego. Their wedding colors included shades of royal and navy blue, with grey accents to complement the beautiful view of endless sky.
