This week we are so excited to show you some backyard wedding photos from our California Hippie Chic inspiration shoot. This styled session was put together by the incredibly talented ladies of Enjoy Events Co. The images were so gorgeous that one of our very favorite wedding inspiration blogs, Ruffled, featured the shoot on their site here. We are still swooning over the bohemian backyard wedding images that we couldn’t help but share them on our own Tinywater blog!
One of my favorites from this weekend's mini sessions: Valerie, Brent and Josie!

Vendor Spotlight: More from Valley Flora at Viansa Winery
April 5th, 2012
Today we have more pretty flowers from the lovely ladies at Valley Flora inside Viansa Winery‘s unique wine cellar. We can’t wait to show you their modern take on floral design.
Starting with a red tablecloth, it was love at first sight with these rectangular charcoal vases they used to create the floral arrangements. It was a fun contrast inside the very vintage and romantic wine cellar at Viansa Winery.
The red yarn wrapped table number is a fun and unique way to incorporate another texture to the table while also being able to mark where the guests will sit. The ombre red candle sat on a square plate which paired nicely with the contemporary vases used in this Valley Flora design.
The lushness of the blooms and shades of reds and pinks brought a welcome pop of color to the darker and more romantic venue here at Viansa Winery in Sonoma’s wine country. We have no complaints about being a Sonoma wedding photographer, especially when we have the opportunities to document such gorgeous work from the loveliest of vendors like Valley Flora.
Crepe paper details created whimsical place settings and chairs and incorporated the accenting hues of orange, pink, and silver so nicely. Those mini paper pom poms are the cutest!
Are these blooms perfect or what? The full lush texture of these directly against the hard angle of the vase is so beautiful!
And to bring this table full circle, pops of gorgeous muted green succulents. These grayer shades of green went so surprisingly well with the very bright reds and pinks of this Valley Flora table. It also helped tie in nicely to the more muted and darker shades found within the Viansa wine cellar and barrel room.
We can’t express how much we absolutely loved both Valley Flora and Amy Burke’s table designs we featured this week on our Vendor Spotlights. If you are looking to hire a florist for your wedding or special event, we hope you check these girls out in addition to taking a trip to the lovely Viansa Winery in the always gorgeous Sonoma, California.
fotoclipping - Best wishes for this couple.
Vendor Spotlight: Valley Flora at Viansa Winery
April 4th, 2012
Our next Vendor Spotlight is featuring Valley Flora‘s tables at Viansa Winery. Valley Flora is a full service floral design studio specializing in weddings and special events. The team consists of two friends, Polly and Carla, and Polly’s daughter Brooke, who is a new addition to the company. From Valley Flora’s website: “We take great pride in turning your floral vision into memories. We strive to use the freshest in seasonal materials. Our commitment to quality and the client is evident in every design. Our joy is in every bride’s smile.”
Valley Flora’s gorgeous table design was set in the unique and amazing Viansa Winery barrel room. We love taking wedding photos inside the Viansa Winery barrel room for it’s unique architecture and space. Valley Flora started with a base of a pretty champagne pink tablecloth with a Chantilly lace-like layer on top.
The gold toned chairs used here were a subtle touch to elevate this table designed by Valley Flora. The tea lights surrounding the low floral centerpiece provided a romantic glow to this gorgeous lace spread.
Zooming in on Valley Flora’s details, we love the texture that this collection of blooms provided against the lace, but we were especially taken with the little gold rimmed goblet filled with a tiny collection of flower buds! It was a cute surprise and we wanted to sit at that table to take in all of the lush prettiness forever.
The black centers of those blooms were a great contrast to the overall lighter tones of this Valley Flora table. The main centerpiece sat majestically atop a gold framed mirror creating a fun reflection and detail.
The way this floral arrangement cascaded down onto the table below was romantic in itself. The girls of Valley Flora really know how to evoke pure romance with flowers and props, and we can’t imagine how a bride could be any happier with this talented trio. So in love with their work right now!
Don’t you love those peach roses tucked into the greenery? We can’t wait to move onto Valley Flora’s next table within the Viansa Winery barrel room, coming up tomorrow!
So excited to reveal this Modern Green Wedding Inspiration shoot as a feature on Green Wedding Shoes today! Shot on location at The Green Living Center in our home of Midtown Sacramento, we had a ton of fun putting this together with some of our very favorite wedding vendors. Take a peek at the feature over on Green Wedding Shoes!
