I had been anticipating Kristeen and Josh’s wedding for months and months. At our Coffee Bean consultation, we excitedly threw out ideas that included smooth white river stones, sandblasted manzanita, crystals galore, papery white phaleonopsis offset by waxy green cymbidiums - by the end of the meeting we were both gushing over our plans. Their Marvimon wedding was shot by my talented wedding photographer and good friend, Trista Lerit. Trista’s work is always creative, moody, and just plain beautiful. She always gets fantastic pics of all the floral details, which I of course appreciate- thanks Trista! See her blog for the rest of the images. Kelly Demaray orchestrated this detailed wedding beautifully, and couldn’t have been sweeter during the whole process.
Many props to my wonderful day-of assistants, Marci and Ako, for hauling box after box of rocks, climbing that 10 foot ladder when I was too afraid (I have a fear of heights!), and just hustling nonstop for 4 hours straight to make sure everything looked picture perfect. They work so hard, and always have smiles on their faces!
Without further ado, Kristeen and Josh’s wedding, as captured by Trista Lerit Photography:
Kristeen was ecstatic when she saw everything set up. I hope it was just like she imagined!
The bridal bouquet was an ethereal “two hander” filled with roses, ranunculus, tulips, stephanotis, phaleonopsis, and soft white feathers. The bridesmaids carried white and green blooms with black feather accents. Their dresses were so elegant!
What a sassy shot! She is a stunning girl, with southern charm to boot! Such a sweetheart too.
A crystal curtain with cymbidium orchids was the background for the ceremony.

Simple yet striking altar decor atop plexiglass columns.

Marvimon is so rad.
We tried to mix natural, zen elements like rocks and branches with glammed out cyrstals and orchids.
Kristeen and Josh- you are a beautiful couple and I loved working with you! Have a blessed marriage!

About Me: The Treasured Petal is a reflection of my love for scrumptious flowers, yummy textures, colors, ribbons, and all the other girly splurges that being a florist allows me to enjoy on a daily basis. Although I don't discriminate when it comes to flowers, my two favorites would have to be cattleya orchids and gloriosa lilies, which I carried in a ginormous bouquet on my wedding day. When I'm not crafting wedding florals and consulting with brides, I am usually at the dog park with my dogs Pesto and Basil, cooking healthy vegan dinners, watching Seinfeld with my husband Joe, at Bible study, or scouring craigslist for antique furniture to fill up my new house. I am also kind of a home-body and really love sipping tea in my pajamas while working my way down my google reader blog list!
That crystal and orchid curtain is beautiful!
