Real Weddings: Alexandra and Jason

You wouldn’t expect a beach town like Malibu would have vineyards! But at Saddle Rock Ranch, there are acres and acres of grape vines growing on the hills. We recently provided the flowers for Alex and Jason’s beautiful vintage inspired wedding featuring found vases and containers Alex picked up at flea markets and variety shops.

Since the wedding was in June, peonies were out in full force and Alex’s bouquet had gorgeous white and light pink peonies as well as dark purple sweet peas, freesia, and white cymbidium orchids with touches of light pink on the lips.

We also used ivory “Polo” roses and accented the bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages with silvery green dusty miller leaves. I think the silver-tinted leaves exuded the perfect vintage feel to the flowers.

The sweetheart and reception tables held mis-matched vintage containers and vases, each with various different types of flowers in ivory, light pink, and purple. I loved the pink dahlias that were mostly pink at the outer edges and moved to ivory in the middle – I could just imagine finding these on Grandma’s farm (even if my grandmas lived in the tropics of Taiwan and the Phillipines, heh heh)!

I thought the most amazing piece was the window box Alex’s mom built! We decorated the window box space with soft spring flowers like white hydrangea, pink and white peonies, bicolor purple and white lisianthus, ivory roses, and boxwood foliage. This piece was created to display the escort cards – truly one-of-a-kind!
