Fav Finds + Flower Friday - Plan Decor

Hello and happy happy Friday! We are gearing up for our first wedding of the season this weekend at the Marin Headlands Center for the Arts! A stunning venue that feels as if is was ripped straight from the pages of an Anthropologie mag.

Now on to Flower Friday! For your Flower Friday viewing pleasure - this Bay Area floral designer does some amazing things with sweet peas and lilac - not your average bouquet flowers! And let me tell you I LOVE me some lilac! It is blooming in my backyard this week and I am in heaven!

I am loving the colors and the pop that she brings to centerpieces as well! Karen of Plan Decor does amazing work and we hope to work with her one day soon!

Fav Finds + Flower Friday: Cool Crisp White

I know I have blogged about Florali on Flower Friday before but I have to do it again today because man, oh man, this place understands flowers! The photos that are on the Florali Journal are just stunning. I want them matted and framed and hung in my house please!

I was feeling a bit cool and chilly today - like Winter was not so very far away and this lovely centerpiece and bouquet jumped out at me. I love the soft textures with the firm cool greens of the succulents. And how fantastic are the photos?? LOVE.

Here are some favs from the week. We are off to a hang with a very cool bride and groom this weekend and we can't wait to see how their amazing wedding unfolds on Saturday!

Can't get enough of this photos - to die for!

Fav Finds + Flower Friday: The Gerbera Daisy

So, I will share a dirty little secret with you. I am not a huge fan of the gerbera daisy. I actually think carnations are cooler and more fun to work with than gerberas. Don't get me wrong, gerberas are fun and happy flowers - perfect flowers for a "Get Well Soon" bouquet, or a "Happy New Baby" arrangement, but not wedding flowers!

Well, I think I may be eating my words because today I uncovered a gorgeous gerbera daisy, yes I said gorgeous, centerpiece on Details Boston! I was so pleasantly surprised. Now don't get me wrong, part of me feels this centerpiece is perfect for a day wedding (or bridal shower!!), but it is a super fun option!

Details Boston has a great little site so if you are in the Boston area check them out!

Have you guys found any great gerbera floral decor that I just need to see to be proved wrong again? Share the links in the comments below!

Just a friendly reminder that Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back at Starbucks and you know what that means...Summer is sadly coming to and end and the Holidays are around the corner. I get so giddy when the Peppermint Mocha comes back! EeeeeEEEeeee!

Ok here are my fav finds from the web this week!

Tooting my own horn again, but these antler and snake skin tablescapes are SO COOL!

Fav Finds + Flower Friday: Flourish

I am back in action! Thank GOODNESS! I missed you all! I did have a few lost files but I was thankfully able to restore most of my little MacBook - hip hip hooray for Time Machine!! Thank you all for hanging in there with me!

The vacay was fantastic! The Mai Tais were so yummy, the beaches so amazing, the cabana boys so adorable! I loved every moment of it! But now, back to business as usual...

This Flower Friday I bring you the incredible, the wonderful, the hilarious Shannon Cosgrove-Rivas of Flourish. I was fortunate to spend some time with Shannon during The Simple Plan SF and she is not only a blast to chat with but you could really feel her passion for floral design. I personally am in love with a specific bouquet she designed with the lovely Kate Miller of Kate Miller Events for a fabulously whimsical Alice in Wonderland photoshoot.

How amazing are the details in the brooches on this baby!? Love the mixing in of the fresh flowers as well! You need to check out the gallery on her site, in my mind she truly understands how to use textures to create jaw dropping flower gorgeousness.

I am in love with vines peeping out of bouquets, and loving the gold twine wrapped around these centerpieces!

Ok, here are some of my loves from the web this week!

I am a sucker for hearts - all shapes and sizes!
