Dian & Kenny’s Modern & Polished Wedding at The Ebell of Los Angeles

March 2nd, 2022

A wedding portrait of the couple on the steps of the historic Ebell of Los Angeles, featuring a modern cascade bouquet in fresh white & green with orange and yellow accents.
 
How gorgeous are these two?
 
And since we can’t officially celebrate their leap year wedding anniversary for another 2 years- here we go. Happy Second Anniversary Dian & Kenny! 😜
 
A lush and organic white cascade with pops of orange and yellow accents, featuring garden roses, peonies, ranunculus blooms, designed by Winston & Main.
 
And here is Dian’s beautiful modern cascade bouquet. It features orchids, tulips, mini-callas, ranunculus, tiny kumquat cuties, and fragrant tuberose, lilac and orange blossom.
 
Scent is such a powerful memory trigger and I LOVE incorporating it into wedding work- in just the right amount of course.
 
Our couple enjoying the fragrant wedding bouquet full of delicious lilac, tuberose, and orange blossom.
 
Which brings us to the cutest photo ever! I was so thrilled to see ALL the beautiful photos Miki & Sonja captured, but this one is definitely a favorite.

This veil by Julie Harris Designs needs its own moment though. Sigh. 😍

A beautiful bridal portrait- The Ebell of Los Angeles has SO many amazing spots for portraits!

And a super stylish groom!
Love love love Kenny’s whole wedding look.
 
Adorable flower child baskets, accented with greenery and filled with fresh white rose petals for tossing.
 
The cutest baskets for all the flower children.

And flowers for all the family & friends.

Again, the cutest.
 
The historic setting of The Ebell of Los Angeles' ballroom is transformed into a modern ceremony space by floral designer, Winston & Main.
 
The Lounge at The Ebell of Los Angeles is absolutely stunning, and a dream to flower! We created two large foam-free arrangements featuring olive and eucalyptus to flank the altar, and lined the the aisle with large & airy arrangements of greenery, delphinium, and dahlia.
 
The couple and their officiant stand in between two large, foam-free installations featuring olive and eucalyptus branches in gold urns.
 
Love a casual amount of greenery. 😉
 
A wide view of the ceremony from back of the room. Our couple holding and facing each other at the altar and surrounded by nature-inspired lush greenery and white flowers.
 
These organic & textural greens are the perfect contrast AND compliment to this room. Also, those windows. 😍
 
The couple's first kiss with guests cheering on while our bride holds on to the luxury bouquet, designed by Winson & Main, at her side.
 
I know I said the bouquet sniffing was my fave…but this photo is ALWAYS a personal fave, and Dian & Kenny’s recessional does not disappoint.
 
A tall centerpiece both wild & composed, is full of textural olive and eucalyptus, and has bird of paradise accents blooms.
 
For their reception we created a few different styles of centerpieces: large & low floral pieces, fresh hand-laid greenery, bottles and bud vases, AND these large elevated pieces that are full of textural greenery and accented with birds of paradise- a bit of nostalgia from Dian’s childhood.
 
Photos celebrating Black love marked the tables instead of table numbers.
 
I love a meaningful DIY, and how Dian & Kenny chose to highlight Black love by featuring some of their favorite couples in place of table numbers.
 
A bright & textural centerpiece features lush spring blooms in shades of white, orange and yellow with mimosa and citrus accents on the table.
 
February is the perfect month for fresh mimosa and ALL the winter citrus.
 
The reception featured a mix of long and round tables decorated with a variety of lush and textural centerpiece styles: high, low, large, and bud vases plus fresh citrus on the tables.
 
Details of reception guest tables with petite arrangements in gold vases, and glass bud vases with flowers in white and orange.
 
A mix of centerpiece styles, late winter/early spring flowers, and textural greenery brought the dining room to life at The Ebell of Los Angeles.
 
A cheerful centerpiece with white flowers and citrus-colored accent blooms in a gold bowl. Whole & halved oranges were artistic touches placed next to the bright arrangement with votive candles.
 
A bold centerpiece at the head table in front of the wedding reception room's stage, features dramatic Birds of Paradise and full white, orange and yellow flowers.
 
I mean, look at this star. She *almost* stole the show.
 
A dramatic first dance is set against a lush green and white floral installation at the base of the stage.
 
But then this happened.
The end.
Perfection.
 
It was so much fun to work with Dian & Kenny, Dian’s Mom, Jeannie, and of course, Renee of Moxie Bright Events to bring all this magic to life.

Colorful Floral Clouds & Bold Ombre Blooms

January 22nd, 2020

Bright and bold dyed babies breath clouds by Winston & Main hang over long table at colorful LA birthday celebration.
 
I’m always so flattered when other vendors or industry peeps hire Winston & Main to bring the blooms ESPECIALLY when they give me the creative freedom to really go for it.

That’s the dream.

So when David of La Pinata Party Rentals reached out about creating something extra special for his *extra special* birthday party this ombre floral fluff dream became reality.

All 21 feet of it. Floral foam free + 100% reclaimed post event too.
 
Yellow and Orange Ombre Floral Designs featuring Dahlias, Butterfly Ranunculus, Bunny Tails and more by Winston & Main.
 
Light it up! I designed the entire table in an ombre, florals + tapers too- moving from yellow to peach to orange to pink to red to blue to purple. SO much fun. SO many tapers.
 
Pink and red floral design ombre featuring double tulips, dahlias, and painted italian ruscus by Winston & Main.
 
The pink & red arrangement may have been my favorite because the double tulips were RIDICULOUS for October.
 
Blue and purple ombre floral design featuring carnations, tulips, strawflowers, dahlias and more dyed and painted flowers by Winston & Main.
 
Although, blue & purple are definitely the winner for being MOST on trend- Pantone named Classic Blue as it’s Color of the Year shortly after this.
 
The guest of honor wears a luxe blue velvet dinner jacket and is standing under 21 feet of bold and colorful floral clouds.
 
Talk about an incredible host- David treated his guests to a welcome bar, an epically colorful + delicious dinner catered by Hungry Bear Catering Co., a Xylophone Band AND a post-dinner surprise arcade reveal. YES, an entire arcade. Host AND birthday goals.

The velvet tux wasn’t a bad touch either.

Action shot.

This color combo was the most challenging for me, but I was so happy with the way it turned out. Also, #carnationsforever.

More fluff. You’re welcome.

Hi-five under colorful floral clouds.
 
Hi-fives all around. Showing you this one despite whatever is going on with my face.
