Pretty in Peony at Rancho Valencia Resort

February 9, 2017 Alyssa McNees

Kelsey and Faryar were married in a beautiful ceremony at Rancho Valencia, coordinated by Suzanne Duffy of Crown Weddings, with an elegant classical style perfect for the venue. Kelsey is a woman of refined tastes, who knew going in just what she wanted. The most important aspect of the wedding to Kelsey was flowers, and her favorite, the one she most wanted to have, was the coral peony seen throughout the classical arrangements reminiscent of Victorian era floral design.

Kelsey wanted a dreamy, blissful feel for her wedding. Suzanne helped her with every aspect of her vision, perfectly integrating it with the landscape and architecture of the resort, which lent just the right touch of natural elegance and old world charm to frame the event.

The ceremony featured beautiful arrangements in Victorian plaster urns on pedestals to adorn the aisle entrance. The trellis was laden with peonies, garden roses, and dahlias, interspersed with tendrils of jasmine vine and whimsical butterfly bush blooms to lend a natural garden feel. The bouquets were of luxurious ruffled peonies and Juliette garden roses collared in soft dusty miller all wrapped in fine silk ribbons.

Suzanne chose lovely linens from La Tavola Linens, as a pallet for arrangements of garden roses touched with ranunculus for luxurious compositions striking just the right balance between structured and loose design set amidst glowing candle light in filigreed hurricane lanterns. The reception was covered by wisps of streaming tent swags to give an airy feel to the celebration.

We strove ardently to get these beautiful photos from Marissa Holms Photography, because they so vividly capture the superb look and feel of this lovely affair which everyone worked so hard to accomplish. We truly consider it a stunning success, which we are proud to say became part of a four page spread of our work in the 2016 issue of Ceremony Magazine.

It's National Margarita Day, I love my margaritas salted, and Javier's La Jolla has the best in town! No, this is not a paid advertisement, but with TEQUILA as a choice across their website's drop down menu, you can kind of get that they are the experts! I had the Organica with Auznia Reposada Tequila earlier this week during happy hour. Where do you stand on Mexico’s most famous cocktail? Do you enjoy them? Sí o no?⁣⠀

The focus of this particular image may be the flowers, but rest assured it was the bride in her gorgeous dress on the wedding day. We focused on classic, tailored styling and beautiful blooms with subtle gradation of color.⁣ ⁣If you would take note, the flower selections were ⁣Peonies, White O'Hara and Juliet Garden Roses, Shimmer Peach, Emily, and Vendela Roses, Chablis and  White Majolica Floribunda Roses ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⠀

REAL IS RELEVANT: Live or Memorex.... We may both be too young to remember the successful ad campaign of "Is it live or is it Memorex?" when the recording of the “Queen of Jazz,” Ella Fitzgerald's voice shattered the glass while on replay.... ⠀
:⠀
Ever present in my posts is the desire to keep it REAL, and YES! these blooms are certainly that; fresh, alive and becoming... ⠀
:⠀
With the ongoing illusive urgency about remaining relevant in an ever changing world... I only have this to say...REAL IS RELEVANT. ⠀

Guests enjoy sweeping views behind this organic inspired chuppah at The Lodge at Torrey Pines. The hotel design is reminiscent of California Craftsman-style architecture and the smell of the wood fireplace can only be experienced first hand to truly appreciate. ⠀
:⠀
For those who may not yet know, a chuppah symbolizes the home the couple will build together. The top is covered with a cloth or tallit that is spread over four poles,(not shown here, but present). ⠀
:⠀
The symbolism of the Chuppah (also commonly spelled  and pronounced huppah) is quite breathtaking. A key point that I particularly adore is that it teaches that this simple, fragile roof, which is now common to both partners, launches the marriage. In the words of William Henry Channing, it teaches them "to live content with small means: to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy not respectable, and wealthy, not rich." ⠀

Let’s hear from you: Type in the year you were married or are to be married, and say just a few words to describe how you exchanged or will exchange your vows? Under a canopy of blossoms? Maybe you prefer an assymetrical free form design that is all the rage right now? Or possibly you are au natural with only the grand Pacific Ocean as a backdrop....⠀
