Love American Style

Americana Weddings...

Judging by the weather outside summer is here in Sunny Southern California and the 4th of July is right around the corner. For most of us here in the good ole USA it means good friends, family fun, food, and fireworks!!! Furthermore what is more American than apple pie, coca cola, and bbq!! So if you Love summer and the 4th of July like we do then lets see how we can incorporate this vibe for your wedding day...

There's nothing more true then displaying red, white and blue for all your guest to see....

Little hints here and there of red and blue with the majority of your color palette being white will have a huge impact...

Not only does the American theme come alive in the color palette, but also in the decor that you choose to display. Mixing in a hint of vintage always adds charm to any event...

The little details are so important...

Bitter Sweet moments... How to include veterans that won't be there. A great way to honor family loved ones and friends is with a thoughtful memorial to their service...

Lets not forget about the Love you share...

What better way is there to end your day than with sparklers and fireworks!!

Ethereal Vibes at the Salton Sea...

When creatives decide to head out of town for

a little adventure....

Our friend Masha owner of Masha Ray Portraits and I were talking about getting together while she was here visiting from Florida. We met up at our office and got to chatting. Masha began telling us about the Salton Sea and how magical a place it was to photograph. While Masha was telling us about the vast open space and incredible sunsets.

All I kept picturing in my mind was a free standing vintage door leading to nowhere....

Add a beautiful model and what do you get???

ENCHANTMENT...

Since we had never been to the Salton Sea before we were very excited to set out on this escapade...

I knew I wanted to keep the props very minimal and simple...

The brides vintage dress was found by Masha at an estate sale and purchased from the daughter of original owner who wore it in 1955. What a treasure!!!

We ended this endearing day with a gorgeous sunset....

We knew in our hearts that this was a very special bridal portrait session and a day that we would treasure always....

Bridal Portraits are just one of the many things that The Bridal Entourage Team can do for you. We love to design! Give us a call and we can schedule a time to chat about creating a bridal portrait session just for you...

Congratulations you are Engaged!!! The Flowers!!

Let's Talk About Your Flowers...

Do you want your flowers to create a simple, or a chic, or a rustic, or romantic, or a classic feeling. What is your favorite flower? What do your wedding flowers symbolize? What colors do you like? What flowers are best for Winter, Spring, Summer, Or Fall weddings? Is it Okay to think outside the box? Is it alright to just have greenery? What will my flowers cost?

The list goes on and on...

There is a lot of information out there, and everyone has an opinion from Pinterest to old school magazines. It can be a bit overwhelming and cause your thoughts of wedding flowers to run a muck!

Lets start by making some good decisions...

Establish your flower style. What are your Floral needs, a bouquet, centerpieces, boutonnieres? What is your budget? Get recommendations. Set up a time to chat. Any florist worth their weight in flowers will reign you in and help you stay on track. It is very important to clearly communicate with the florist YOUR vision for YOUR wedding day. This will help ensure that you have the wedding flowers you have always dreamed of. It is also important to use the right words and share with your florist your thoughts so everyone is on the same page. Adding flowers to your wedding is the icing on the cake. Your flowers will set the tone of your wedding by creating a beautiful atmosphere.

Flowers bring everything to life...

Did you know that different flowers have different meanings...

Take roses for example, they have different meanings for different colors. A red rose stands for Passion, a orange rose is Enthusiastic, a white rose means Purity, A pink one represents Joy...

I am a sucker for David Austin English roses...

What flowers do you love???

A little bit of History...

In Ancient Rome, brides carried or wore flower garlands, believing that flowers signify new beginnings, fidelity and hope of fertility. In the Middle Ages, strong-smelling herbs and spices were thought to ward off and drive away evil spirits, bad luck, ill health and help mask the smell of body odor.

The history of the boutonniere dates back to the 16th century. "Boutonniere" is a French word meaning "Buttonhole Flower"

it was first meant to keep evil away.

In Queen Victoria's day. Victoria had an attention for detail and lavish staging, especially flower symbolism. She heaped her ceremony with cut and blooming flowers, and wore a crown of orange blossoms (a symbol of chastity) in her hair, sparking a craze for bridal flower crowns.

Tossing the bouquet is a tradition that stems from England. Women used to try to rip pieces of the bride's dress and flowers in order to obtain some of her good luck. To escape from the crowd the bride would toss her bouquet and run away.
