When Life Gives You Lemons: Hyatt La Jolla Wedding Party Bridal Show

When life gives you lemons... You make lemonade, right? Maybe add a splash of tequila for extra kicks!?!

Embellishmint Floral & Event Design was thrilled to participate in another Wedding Party Bridal Show, produced by Pamela Noxon. Being that we were given such a great unique space at the Hyatt, La Jolla, we decided to showcase a ceremony site and partnered up with Lauren Sharon Vintage Rentals to outfit the location.

My partner-in-crime for many design projects and inspiration is Ann Strobel with Ann's Plans, the two of us scouted our site and decided that the existing awnings at the venue should complement the design scheme and color palette in some way. This is always a challenge for brides --- and a DECOR TIP to take into consideration --- when envisioning your special day design, work with the existing elements of the venue and try to make it cohesive. The blue/yellow color in the shades covering the window treatments somehow inspired us to take those lemons...and well, make them into lemonade.

Pucker up, baby! And enjoy our sweet and sour theme, full of bright yellow sunflowers, blue hydrangea, mouthwatering lemons and candy treats!

SUMMER LOVIN

Surf's up San Diego! June is now upon us, which means the summer has officially begun! We have so much LOVE happening at Embellishmint right now, as we are in the midst of preparing for the Del Mar Fair Flower Show, incredible weddings and upcoming stylized photo shoots. We thought it appropriate to show some LOVE to one of our absolute favorite tabletop designs for Ceremony Magazine 2013. This table debuted at the Blue Crush event at the Hilton Carlsbad Oceanfront Resort & Spa around this time last year and perfectly reminds us that when life gives you lemons...make something fabulous!

Blakelynn + Jeremy | The Prado

We had such a wonderful time doing the florals for this beautifully classic ceremony and reception at The Prado at Balboa Park. The deep Merlot mini calla lilies, chartreuse cymbidium orchids and accents of black magic roses created such a romantic yet earthy feel!
