Gracelyn and Mossimo Invites and Bridal Shower

Assembling over 200 of these invites really was the hardest work I've ever done in the studio! Luckily my mom was able to come to the studio and help me out. Because assembling these was definitely a tedious task. We had the hardbacks of the invite that needed everything to be applied to it. Did I mention that there were over 200? haha. These were double layered invites with pockets that needed to be applied as well as ribbons that needed to be applied to them too. These took me two days of work to assemble. The first day, I worked alone and made 60...that took me 8 hours! Just to make 60! When my mom was there the next day, it took us another 8 hours to do the rest! INSANE!

Elements from the bridal shower held at the Reef Restaurant in Long Beach.

Sweetest 16

Talk about a good time! When the Banda is out to play and you have over 500 guests, there is definitely a good time to be had. Especially when celebrating a young girls coming of age! These invites were actually very fun to make (even though there were over 200 PLUS over 2,000 crystals!) because my dad stopped by the studio to help assemble all of them :)

He calls it "arts and crafts" :)

Rochelle Graduation and Invites

These are invites that I assembled for Rochelle's Graduation from Chapman University of Law and I was the coordinator for the night of her Graduation party at the Renaissance Hotel in Downtown Long Beach.

Law books were set at each table as part of the centerpieces.

Let's Start Out with Flowers

So my role at BellafiOre started to become more prominent this wedding season. I started to find my strengths and recognized my weaknesses in the floral design industry. I've always had a creative eye and I am very good with putting things together that look good together. So when it comes to working with flowers, I can definitely put some beautiful things together. And although I might not always know what certain flowers are called or what is in season at the moment, I am always learning and growing within my job. Here are a few of the arrangements that I have put together, as well of some of my creations that BellafiOre now suggests to future clients :)

Flower girl ball using Kermits

25 Arrangements, saw a sea of purple after the first 10.

Orchids, Dhalias, Garden Roses, & Hydrangea

Ceremony Balls, mini rosettes.

My personal favorites.

Circus roses, green hydrangea, leaves, orchids, green grass balls that smell like a yummy

salad!

Bride's bouquet

I helped put this together.

My Creation!!! BellafiOre now offers ring bearer pillows! This one is made with kermits and ribbon :)

Bridesmaid bouquets :)

Bridal Bouquet

First ever ring bearer pillow, small carnations.

First Bridal Bouquet I made by myself.

Nothing makes me happier than to go to work and be happy because I get to work with beautiful things!
