Still swooning over these stunning photos! @sammyaucella The kind of wedding you continue to relive.

Inspired by the natural beauty of the setting, we designed the florals around the landscape — soft autumn tones, and thoughtful details that felt beautifully at home in the space. #bloomyourjoy #marigoldblooms #fallvibes #wedding #bride

Remember when we told you it was going to be epic? It was.

What a beautiful, moody Fall day — the perfect setting for these florals. I had so much fun with this design. It’s been living rent free in my mind since we dreamed it up back in February, and seeing it all come together was even better than I imagined.

@sammyaucella , I can’t wait to see the photos. It’s always so much fun watching you work and seeing the day through your lens.

L & Z, congratulations! We are over the moon for you both. Cheers to everything ahead.

You know it’s going to be epic when the prep involves dehydrating oranges.

Tomorrow’s wedding is going to be one for the books. A little behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making it all happen. #marigoldblooms #bloomyourjoy #plumascounty #wedding #letsgo

Some bonds are forged somewhere between
ⱠØVɆ and DΛЯKПΣƧƧ,
creation and destruction,
holding on and letting go

Some fires are not meant to destroy us.
They are the ones we carry through the darkness.

Born from everything we survived,
everything we couldn’t say,
everything still fighting to become light.

The adventure of her bouquet.

Every detail is very intentional and thought out when we create your piece. Here our bride was inspired by @passionflowersue with lots of buds wired and very in their place. We added our flare and inspirations to create this strawberry and creme design for the stunning @briannabajar & @evan.pruyn

Simple recipes for bouquets create more of an impact and are so iconic right now

recipe for this bouquet

1b yellow/creme garden rose
1b pink lisianthus
1 double spike phaleanopsis orchid
1b honeysuckle
1b creme brûlée phlox

Amazing hand, flower dyed silk ribbon @wildly.collected
Even the ribbon is thought out and so intentional.

Wildly romantic, wholly devoted—say hello to Sammy Aucella.

A collaboration in the truest form, this universe has come to life through architectural inspiration, old-world romance, and an edge of modern refinement. It has a heartbeat of its own, a rhythm felt in every detail, just like Sammy’s imagery.

These two & this vibe. ☀️✨

The kind of wedding day that reminds us why we love what we do—beautiful scenery, intentional details, happy tears, and a couple completely present with one another.

Desolation Hotel made the perfect backdrop for a truly unforgettable celebration. 🤍

Last year these two cuties got Dust Married at @burningman ❤️‍🔥

This weekend we’re heading to the beautiful Mendocino coastline to make it official with their WedFest Glampout 🏕️🕺

A whole wedding weekend filled with exploring the redwoods, morning yoga, kayaking adventures, gathering with all their favorite people, interactive art installations and of course wedding weekend shenanigans 😎

Proof that your wedding weekend can feel less like a one day event and more like an unforgettable adventure.

If your dream wedding looks a little less traditional and a whole lot of fun, I’d love to help bring it to life 🤓✨

Portraits of Summer, captured in colour, texture and dreams —

These recent moodboards have been playing on repeat in my head as their respective stories quietly unfold behind the scenes. I think it’s safe to say this season will be a beautiful one…
