Simple, Urban and Organic





When we met with Alonia and Shanelle the one thing that came up was to with a "look" that would somehow be urban, simple and most definitely organic. Not an easy feat to achieve as most of these styles work well on their own.

So, we came up with a simple, chic look of metal lanterns filled with lush, Green Cymbidium Orchids. We added Purple Thistle and Hydrangeas in recycled, glass bottles in varying heights. To add to the organic feel we added Manzanita branches, which is pretty much a standard when trying to achieve an organic look and feel.

To bring in the urban touch, we used a Lucite dish that reflected Purple, Blue or Green depending on lighting. We kept the flowers simple as the colors gave a strong floral presence without getting fussy.

The finished look was very urban, organic and super, modernly simple.

We look forward to the next challenge Shanelle brings us!

Diana, Diana , DIANA




Its no secret, my career in bridal began when i saw Diana Spencer stepping out of her carriage in her amazing wedding dress by David and Elizabeth Emanuel. I was also taken by her fabulous, cascading bouquet. Not as popular today as they should be. But hopefully this style will make a comeback!

When we did a wedding at St. John the Divine which is one of the largest cathedrals in the world, I knew I would finally have my chance to recreate her fabulous bouquet.

Thank you Sam and Jeri for giving CityIris such an amazing experience.

In honor of Diana's 30th wedding anniversary i am recreating a modern day version of one of the most iconic gowns in bridal fashion.
