Flowers + Santa Monica, CA

I think flowers bring joy to so many people.
Just plop them in water + watch the joy they bring!

We don't grow peonies in Southern CA.
 I buy them at the flower mart in Los Angeles when I can.  

Santa Monica pier

Speaking of Los Angeles, this was taken on Monday of this week.
How blessed are we to experience such glorious weather?
Yes, we are blessed.

Look at this view-  the Santa Monica beach & Ocean Ave.  

These palm trees remind me of ladies with fabulous hair standing up tall. 

It was such a clear and beautiful day.

Just look at that blue sky.

I had to share this with you, dear readers...



Thanks for stopping by!

Love,

Peggy

Urban Unveiled at Vibiana + A Thank You!

Some of you read about our doing a booth for Harry Warren Entertainment at Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles.
We've done a wedding for a client at Vibiana not too long ago.
We can finally show pictures of the event and the booth we did for Harry Warren Entertainment.
 

This is what greeted everyone as they came into the event.
California Wedding Day's Urban Unveiled
It was projected on the wall.

These are the Flor carpet tiles. The space for the booth was 8' x 8'. 

Everyone was hard at work getting ready for the show. 

Here are our balloons being blown up the day of the event.  

These are a glimpse of the balloons from underneath.

A life size cut out of Harry Warren surveys it all with one red balloon.

The theme of the show was The Great Gatsby. 

We used lots of pearls + black & whit.

  The flowers were from Sticks & Stones Floral Design.

A close up of the tray with pearls, feathers, flowers, champagne + glasses on the back table.

The guest book on the table.

We are ready for our close up Mr. Demille...

Here you can see the weights for the balloons on the white carpet squares.

A vendor close to our booth was hanging chandeliers.

Vibiana is just a breathtaking place.

This car was so special... it was parked in the patio area.

What would a wedding show be without wedding dresses?

At night

We had such a great time setting up Harry Warren Entertainment's booth at Vibiana.
It was a great success!
What do you think, dear readers... I treasure your comments.


 + Thank you Anita, you were a gracious + amazing hostess for French Week.

Love, 

Peggy
