Our good friend and Ceremony advertiser, Amy Schoenbaum of Bride and Bloom Flowers shared these images from Amy and JT’s wedding celebration. The succulents mixed with hydrangea and delphinium exude an earthy frilliness that is so appealing. The posts on California Wedding Wave have been showcasing the ‘Weddings of Distinction’ featured on the glossy, gorgeous pages of Ceremony Magazine. Soon, I will be revealing images from the awe-inspiring tabletop shoots that literally make the magazine burst with color and ideas. Amy’s talent is among the incredibly gifted floral designers that we are so proud to share with you!

Have you ever walked into a new place and really felt at home there? That’s what it was like when I strolled into Studio 404 Weddings in Long Beach last week. Studio 404 Weddings is the merging of four wedding vendors in a shared consulting space. These talented women work during the week by appointment but are open every Sunday between 10:00 A.M and 3:00 P.M. to display viewings of their work and the work of other Long Beach wedding professionals. Studio 404 Weddings is comprised of Bride and Bloom Wedding Flowers, charla BLUE Photography, Erica O’Brien Cake Design and Paper Cut Industries. Last week, they celebrated the grand opening of their storefront with a party. Many of their wedding pro friends came together to make this a momentous occasion.

The beauty of Studio 404 Weddings is that it can be your one-stop wedding shop if you choose it to be. Their goal is to make sure that every couple gets the wedding of their dreams. These gals are as sweet as the cakes that Erica bakes!

Earl Burns Miller Japanese Gardens at Cal State University in Long Beach is the ideal locale to set the scene for a serene wedding celebration. Amy Schoenbaum of Bride and Bloom Wedding Flowers brought out the zen-like feel of this environment with her lovely arrangements for a wedding recently held at the gardens. Rossmoor Pastries‘s cherry blossom cake imbues the natural beauty of Japan and of these gardens in particular.

Summer Sweetness
