Coastal Couture Bridal Shower

So Ms. Mia Vesanen is getting married and her dear friends, Dawn O'Donnell and Christie Glanville decided to throw an over the top--delightfully glamourous--bridal shower for her. The O'Donnell's beautiful backyard in Hope Ranch, Santa Barbara was the backdrop for this fun shower.

This arrangement was a fun one....let's just say it lost its blance in the kitchen while we were making it (several times! ) We used a rope ball candle holder from ZGallery as a base for this ball os coral roses, hydrangeas, driftwood, sea shells, and even dried seafans. Thanks to Jessica Fairchild Photography for these awesome pictures.

The bride is from Oklahoma and so Dawn suprised her with an area that we concealed until it was time for gift, smores, and a special book about armadillos (mating rituals!) Let's just say that Mia squealed with surprise and delight!! I love when clients really know the person they are throwing a party for and take extra steps to personalize the party.

Ode to Oklahoma!! Congratulations Mia!!
