Kevin & Janae's Napa Valley Celebration

 Napa Valley embraced Kevin Scott and Janae Lisle as they became husband and wife on a windy evening on June 11, 2011.
Janae is my best friend and I was lucky enough to be a part of her special day as her wedding planner (Yes I was her "Franck Eggelhoffer" for a day)... this event is very near and dear to my heart and these pictures capture the joy of the day as well as my contributions in the floral department.

Cocktail Centerpieces



Janae and Kevin are avid golfers so we came up with the idea to name 1/2 of the tables after golf courses that the couple frequented and the other 1/2 after their favorite wineries.

The golf themed tables had floral arrangements with submerged golf balls at the base of the vase to tie the theme in.

The coveted "Bar Orchids," these were the one and ONLY request made by the groom.

These arrangements were at the entrance to the reception space

and sat directly next to the couples guest book.

Alter Arrangement: Because the wedding was held at a winery estate there was no official alter.

In fact the bride and groom were married on top of a spa...OK, well there was a sturdy platform over it, but still...

In order to frame in the couple during the ceremony I made two of these alter arrangements.

They were exquisite in person and my only regret was not taking a picture of them before the wind decided to bully them.

Enjoy!

The following arrangements were done for a 90th Birthday party!:

Each vase was filled with limes, an assortment of brightly colored flowers as well as a variety of vintage pictures from the birthday girl's life; which made for a wonderful conversation piece.

This project was taken on for a Rotary Fundraiser held at Castlewood:

This bouquet was made in the fall, so I incorporated pine cones and leaves:
