Italian Villa Wedding: Trisha and Ed

October 8, 2019

If you’re on the hunt for the perfect luxury California coast wedding that makes you feel as though you’ve been transported to a Tuscan villa, then this wedding is for you!

Trisha and Ed met at the beach, which is just one of the reasons they adored the idea of having their reception at Villa Sevillano. From the charm and exclusivity of the location to the ocean view – what’s not to love?

Trish carried a timeless white bouquet to match the beautiful, lush arrangements that filled every blank space. Guests were welcomed to cocktail hour with relaxing lounge seating and a Gatsby-style bar with multiple chandeliers set above. Once the black satin curtains were raised to the reception, the guests were welcomed into a modernized tent that looked like an open-air ballroom with the use of black draping.

We chose a golden-hued table setting, and a sea of crisp white roses and hydrangeas to don the tables. One of our favorite elements of our design was the modern Moscow-inspired lighting. These details truly made the entire event have the perfect balance of modern with art deco details.

We can’t wait for you to enjoy a few of our favorite images documented by In Motion Pro!

Congratulations to Trisha and Ed, and thank you to our talented creative partners who helped make their day flawless!

Harvest of Hope Produce Styled Event

September 24, 2019

Over the last six years, the Catholic Charities organizes a Harvest of Hope fundraiser to support their programs and services to provide help and create hope for those in the greatest of need. We were thrilled to conceptualize and craft the design of this fantastic charity event last year! It was a pleasure to help honor the individuals within the Bakersfield community who have continuously supported Harvest of Hope. And to play a small role in assisting the raising of funds for the Catholic Charities beneficial programs to continue!

For the overall event design, we wanted to incorporate local produce that would be donated to the Bakersfield Food Bank after the evening’s festivities. Subtle details of soft burlap runners, pistachio tinted antique glassware, gold chargers and grass-colored linens placed on farm tables were incorporated to accentuate our design. These elements, along with our bright floral arrangements, allowed harvest like apples, grapes, carrots, cabbage and more to pop off the tablescapes.

We cannot say enough kind things about Catholic Charities’ Harvest of Hope event! And, we invite you to take a moment to save the date for their 2019 fundraiser by learning more here. Thank you to In Motion Pro for helping us share some of our favorite moments!

Colorful Peruvian Birthday Party!

September 10, 2019

What’s better than a birthday celebration? One that also includes a housewarming as well as welcoming a new daughter-in-law to her West Coast family!

When we were asked to bring Dr. Bustamante’s vision to life for him and his wife, Laura, for their party, we couldn’t wait to start planning! The inspiration for their event stems from Dr. Bustamante’s Peruvian background. Our team embraced the rich culture by incorporating his collection of natural world artifacts matched with Laura’s colonial home décor style.

One of our favorite details is the clay-colored, watercolor table runners that hosted our whimsical succulent creation in a muted golden bowl. By using colorful blooms in the form of cymbidiums, orchids, and orange dahlias, we enhanced the theme with floral arrangements placed throughout their home and outdoor poolside space.

A big thank you to the Bustamante family for trusting Flourishing Art with your event and floral design!

Tropical Style Family Luau

August 27, 2019

Grab your passport, because we’re taking you to the tropics!

We cannot think of a better way to kick off a new school year than the Aloha Dance at Garces Memorial High School! But, before the party begins, one family invites all students, and their parents to an ohana-style celebration that has been a tradition for the last six years. Since this was the last year the family would host the luau they really wanted to go over the top. By doing so, we made their guests feel as though they stepped onto a Hawaiian island!

For the design concept, we wanted to create a tropical oasis! The family pool was filled with inflatable beach balls, and an oversized, bright pink flamingo float. Our team used imported lush flowers in cheerful pinks and vibrant corals to play off the variety of lime, kelly green, and palm leaf printed linens. Two of our favorite aspects of the party is the mocktail tiki bar with coconut cups and the prop-filled photo booth!

We hope you enjoy viewing all of these colorful images provided by April & Co. Photographers as much as we enjoyed designing this family luau from top to bottom!

Heartfelt 100th Enns Farm Celebration

August 13, 2019

When the 100th anniversary of Enns Farm was getting near, Richard Enns wanted to plan a monumental celebration that honored the years of his family’s legacy. With the hard work humbly labored on their farm, through cotton, alfalfa, garlic, corn, black-eyed peas, and, for the last 24 years, almonds, a party would be a perfect tribute.

Sadly, the year leading up to the event, Mr. Enns passed away. Nevertheless, his wife, Bonnie, and son, Jonathan carried his dream of a party that would commemorate the decades of farming and Mr. Enns life. When our team was asked to aid in the event plans and floral design, it became our mission to pour our heart and soul into this gathering for the Enns family. By taking advantage of the endless array of antique farm equipment collected over the decades, we designed each display by hand. We also created wildflower arrangements in tin “vases” placed on bright, cobalt table linens and mason jar floral installations.

Thank you to In Motion Pro for helping us share a few of our favorite moments from the day, and thank you to the Enns family for entrusting us with your event logistics and design!

Rustic Countryside Destination Wedding: Lucy & Ben

July 16, 2019

As a couple that is by far one of the sweetest couples we have had the pleasure of working with, we are thrilled to share Lucy and Ben’s destination wedding in the UK at Clock Barn with you on the blog!

Located in the heart of the countryside, the seclusion of Clock Barn grants couples a venue unlike many things offered in the region. The beautiful exposed beams give an air of vintage OLD WORLD – fit for the couple craving a rustic wedding. For Lucy and Ben, they admired the endless options offered by the Clock Barn, and we took full advantage of its natural beauty when it came to the overall design. From the paper flags and table numbers to all of the day’s floral arrangements, we incorporate shades of white, champagne, and citron in countless of the details.

Many thanks to Hana Laurie Photography for allowing us to share these special moments, and congratulations to Lucy and Ben!

Wine Country Almond House Dinner

July 9, 2019

Our hearts are still singing after our delicious staging of Sextant Estate Vineyard’s Almond House photo shoot! Their turn-of-the-century farmhouse overlooks over one hundred acres of the Paso Robles wine country, which is the only setting you need for a paired dinner under the stars.

The open-air backdrop, the playful style of the modernized estate and savory wine invigorated our design. Our team designed a relaxed yet polished garland featuring gorgeous vines and opulent white flowers that were placed on creamy linen. Mingled with a few tea lights and branches from a Paper Birch – it’s obvious why we are enamored over this shoot!

This Flourishing Art team is pretty confident that you will be searching for your place setting as soon as you see these mesmerizing images by Mike Larson Photography!

Monochromatic Flower-Filled Bridal Shower

June 25, 2019

Call us biased, but we think we created the bridal shower of your dreams! Styled with all white floral arrangements in muted metallic vases – featuring tulips, hydrangeas, roses, and peonies – Nevi’s affair at the Bakersfield Country Club is unlike anything we’ve ever designed. A true labor of love, her flower wall was installed with paper petals of pale dijon, powder blues, greys and crisp white. We even placed a soft silver embellishment in the center of each bloom to act as the stigma, and bring our wall to life. April & Co Photography is the talent behind the lens that is helping us share Nevi’s flower-filled bridal shower with you today!
