Kyle & Sarah at Scribner Bend Winery

We loved working with Sarah and Kyle on their special day! Straight from the get go we had an instant connection with them. Sarah was chalk full of fun ideas to get our creative-maker-paws on! She gave us the opportunity to use all of our props and let us totally stylize them the way we’ve always dreamed to. Hundreds of hand-made paper cranes were used as a nod to the groom’s heritage. They hung like a ton of dangling crystals swaying in the delta breeze and were also used as table seating cards! We hope you all enjoy this wedding as much as we did! Thanks again to Sarah and Kyle for including us in your big day and an even bigger thank you to the super talented Brent Van Auken for his stunning images!

Laura @ Dogwood Party Rentals gets Hitched!

Soooo…. one of our FAVORITE vendors (Dogwood Party Rentals) has this daughter. Her name is Laura. She is awesome. She was an even more awesome bride. Here are some sneak peeks of her wedding at the Historic (and rumored to be Haunted) Sutter Club in Sacramento. We installed the most amazing staircase piece and we can’t wait to get the photos from the photographer! Until then… this is all we got!

Danielle and Niko

Danielle and Niko’s wedding was all about rich warm fall hues. Lots of yummy colors and cool textures. The bride is a major horse lover, so we had a little fun adding equestrian details to the reception. Collections of toy horses and horse-riding ribbons and trophies were fun additions to the decor. Romantic loose style arrangements draped down from the collection of gold and crystal vessels.  This look is great for late summer and early fall brides, the Dahlias are plentiful and the garden roses are still within reach! Hope to inspire and let us know what you think.

Romantic Reds

Hello!

We had our first bridal show of 2015 yesterday at the Grand Island Mansion and are officially kicking off the new year with this awesome red wedding at Arden Hills Country Club. We did this wedding back over the summer, but decided to share it with you all today. We absolutely love the dark garnet hues and pops of white in this bouquet, berries and interesting greens make it interesting and full of garden-y goodness. Our bride and groom wanted a dramatic affair for their guests. Dark wood walls, matching chiavari chairs, rich reds and lots of crystals and candles to set the mood. We hope this one inspires you and gets your wheels turning for your own nuptials!

Winter Whimsies

Hi guys, and Happy New Year. Really, and I mean REALLY wanting to get back into blogging. So this is me jumping back into things. Last winter I got together with my favorite lady, Colleen Riley. We packed up the car with some winter-y goodness, my grandma’s old satin hooded gown, some awesome costume jewelry, and of course some fresh flowers!

We drove up the hill to Apple Hill, found a good place to park the car and started the shoot. Hope you enjoy the photos! Snow makes me think ice Princess, the color white (obvi), pine, red hints, and everything winter-wonderful. My favorite part of this shoot was the hood on this killer dress and of course the snow covered twigs in my signature crown!

Let me know what you think!

Amanda and Peter say I do at The Grand Island Mansion

Our vintage silver collection was perfect for this look here! Chocolate lace and soft pink roses and a fluffy peony, coupled with the delicate fresh vine gives the right amount of pop on this crisp white cloth.

 

We are SO excited to have received these amazing teasers from Kara Stewart Photography! Amanda was such a joy to work with, super easy going and with fabulous taste we might add! She decided to go with soft neutrals to help create a soft romantic feel for her and groom Peter’s big day. Being at the Grand Island Mansion is always a pleasure, it’s like our second home there, and we love all of their delightful staff. Here at Jackie’s we feel that joining your overall feel and the style of your venue is vital to having a seamless ambiance. Romantic and the mansion go beautifully hand in hand here!

Looking forward to share more photos of this lovely day in the near future, for now, enjoy the scroll!

The Bride’s bouquet was an absolute stunner! A mix of soft fluffy blooms in what we like to call “yummy” shades. We also added some more interesting blooms like this chocolate lace and scabiosa pods to toughen it up just a touch.

Loving these Bridesmaid dresses! What an amazing shade to choose.

This gazebo was one of our favorites! Lush full garlands of Salal and Plumosa draped amongst lush clusters of white Hydrangeas and Voluminous Roses! Not to mention the antique chandelier!! And if you have a really keen eye, you may find the Phalanopsis Orchid plants and Curly Willow peeking out from the stone garden urns.

The infamous Daddy, Daughter photo…. all together now… “AWWWWWW”

Delicate centerpieces in interesting vessels make for the perfect accent in this already decadent room!

Candice and Victor at The Firehouse

 

Hi guys!

So this wedding was absolutely one of my new favorites. The colors and style were both SO HAPPY! Bouncy garden roses and so many soft textural elements really amped up the ambiance for this big day. We were definitely not lacking in the drama department, it rained heavily on Saturday and so that really gave us an interesting vibe to go off of… haha. However, the rain was soft of pretty in a moody, romantic soft of way! It did stop just shortly before the ceremony, so we were able to run around like crazy people and rearrange things for the outdoor garden ceremony at the last minute.

With an adorable bridal party and amazing style, this wedding went off without a hitch and ended up being a home run!

This TULIP, yes I said TULIP was just mouth-watering!

Another awesome shot of our favorite Tulip, some golden-sprayed greenery, and of course the awesome gold sequin wrap!

Love this alley-way entrance to the uber quaint Firehouse in Old Sacramento

Before we tore down the inside… it did dry up a bit for an outdoor ceremony, but I’m not gonna lie… this made me swoon a little!

Really loving the cool art work in the Eagle’s room. This wedding felt very victorian-garden-inspired!

An awesome way to utilize a mantal, empty picture frames and taper candles with touches of vines, blooms, or ribbons.

Garden blooms in an interesting golden vessel really enhances the room’s warmth.

Who doesn’t love ranunculus boutonnières?!

Loving this one of our adorable bride and her two cute girls!

 

And of course the grand finale! Awwwwwwwww

Our Very First Workshop!

 

Hi Guys!

So sorry we haven’t posted in a little while, we are just getting so swamped with the start of the season and everything. However, we have been working on this amazing event and we are SO thrilled to share some more photos with you. We especially cannot wait for our lovely photog friend Amanda to share our professional photos:)

After coffee with friends one night we decided to go ahead and make plans for our first workshop hosted at the flower shop! We absolutely wanted to go with the very popular terrarium theme… since we had already been told by friends that they really wanted to make one for themselves…

It was such a HUGE success, we loved having some familiar faces as well as some new ones there to share in all the fun! Hope you guys enjoy the photos and we can’t wait to shoot out some more 🙂

Amanda, Jackie and myself at the Terrarium workshop!

Some of our awesome plants and succulents from Delano Nursery in San Francisco, we loved the assortment.

My mom made this bad boy to serve as an interesting chandelier for over the conversation pit area… isn’t it to die for?!

I honestly think that these gold dinos were my favorite part of the workshop!

Thanks to Dogwood party rentals for hooking us up with some rad chalk boards.

It was a packed house at our workshop… what a great time we all had.

Our new helpers… we pay them in Pabst

Andy is getting artsy!

We love the intense color combinations here! The cool army man battling this GIANT spider makes us smile, especially in that neon pink color!

Just some yummy leftovers…

The cake Amanda made was just gorgeous, and tasty too may I add.

It’s all about the details, we really tried to incorporate the mix matchy hipster vibe throughout all of our displays… even around the treats!

Juices for mimosas anyone?

I was kind of obsessed with this hippie tent, compliments of mom and grandma’s linen cabinets 🙂

We even made the bathtub pretty… give the girls a little something pretty to look at while they’re on the pot! ha!

Reverie Events: My Trip Out East

Hi guys!

So I had the privilege to help out at an event on the East coast this past weekend. It was SO awesome getting to meet new people and be a part of an inspiring team. I flew out to New Jersey on Thursday to help out the lovely Kristin Polhemus of Reverie Events on her first wedding of the season. It was held at the gorgeous Ashford Estate, where the ceremony was held in a very quaint little barn and the reception was a bit more on the glamorous side in the elegant ballroom. Kristin had an amazing team of girls as well as her co-owner hubby Adam on hand to assist with placement and styling duties. I was welcomed with open arms and felt much of the Jersey-love! Here are some iphone photos I snapped while I was around helping out! Please check out Kristin on instagram for more prettiness or click the link below for her website!

Spring time is here! Let there be flowers!!

 

As we all re-adjust our clocks and the sun starts to shine, we can’t help but be elated over the comings of spring-time! (whoa didn’t mean to rhyme there!)

Anyways, our windows are open and the birds are singing as we do paperwork and arrange kick-off plans for our upcoming brides. It’s inching closer and closer to April and the start of our events are nearing closer and closer. Ahhhhhh SO EXCITED.

Until then, here are some more photos of one of the other arrangements we did for the Pottery Barn show a few weeks ago. We couldn’t possibly get more Spring than these few photos here! Hope you enjoy all the prettiness:)
