Real Weddings: Naomi and Brian

Naomi and Brian were recently married at the Sherwood Country Club in Westlake Village. Sherwood is a gorgeous location to be married, but what Una and I liked best were the humongous wrought iron gates that opened and closed as we drove into the location – after getting the okay from the security guard! It was like James Bond!

Naomi wanted a lot of fuchsia in her flowers so we used fuchsia “wild thing” roses, hot pink peonies, hot pink dendrobium orchids, dark pink mini callas, fuchsia tulips, and pink garden spray roses.

Here are some lovely images from photographer Chris Schmitt:

Look at the background! What, are we in Tuscany??

And here are some flower pictures taken by The Flower Lab:

The chuppah!

We used an 8 ft. x 8 ft. x 8 ft. chuppah and decorated it with white drapery, like a window curtain. The bottoms of the drapery had fuchsia silk rose petals attached. The top and sides were accented with bouquets of fuchsia peonies, roses, and spray roses with accents of lemon leaf.

Centerpieces:

Each reception table held a trio of clear glass vases with immersed fuchsia flowers. The tallest one held a sandblasted manzanita branch with attached dendrobium orchids. The medium cylinder held several stems of hot pink tulips topped with a floating candle. And the lowest cylinder had hot pink pink mini calla lilies wrapped and twisted around within the water, also topped with a floating candle.
