One of the things that I love about my days is that they’re never the same. One day, it's all computer office work, another is all about client meetings, then it's about finding props or working with my staff. It's so different every day and Reason #1 that I love being a floral designer is that I get to go off site, out of the office! Whenever I have a day off (which seems rare these days) I get in my silver Jeep and we cruise and go on site visits.
A couple weeks ago, I agreed to meet client #1, Kristin at The Meadow Club in Fairfax. It's a private country club set in the coastal hills of Marin County. Driving through Fairfax is like stepping back in time. The general store has this rustic, 60's(hippie) charm. The Meadow Club is so private that I couldn't get into the site - can't fault a girl for trying. I don't even have a photo to show you, so you'll just have to believe me when I say that I like it so much. It's recently renovated and the A frame ballroom feels more cathedral than lodge.
My second visit was for client #2 Annie at Cavallo Point Lodge(CPL). The zen lover in me feels right at home here. Cavallo Point is an elegant and environmentally sustainable luxury resort. Set in historical Fort Baker and just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, CPL is where nature, nurture, adventure and culture meet. CPL has everything you expect - great food, authentic lodging, calming spa, and even a cooking school.
For ceremonies, there are several options including a vast lawn with a view of San Francisco, however I was completely charmed by their quaint butter yellow chapel. Perfectly Martha.
My favorite part of Cavallo are the wrap around porches. You can't help but feel like you are home when you drive on the spot. Also, I had a delicious lunch (another perk of my job - oh me!). It was a BLT with stuffed crab and criss-cut chips.
If you are looking for two distinct locations, look no further! BTW, Raymond at Meadow Club and Jessica at CPL are two of the most accommodating catering managers. NICE!
