Blushing Bridal Shower!

A blushing bride & glittering shower! This summer bridal shower at Campagnia Restaurant in Fresno was fabulous and full of blooms by Stems at the Palatine. The outdoor patio was the perfect setting for our elegant garden feeling. The black and white lengths of linen were adorned with full, fresh arrangements of roses, hydrangea, lilies, orchids, hyacinth, lilac and, of course, our summer favorite: peonies!  Gold chargers with a beaded rim framed each place setting with a black satin napkin & a stem of green hydrangea wrapping each guest's menu by creative partner, RSVP Style in the Central Valley.  Final touches of elegance: gold chivarri chairs.

Another element of notable table decor are the gorgeous favor gifts for each guest.
Boxed decadent chocolate truffles with a mini-bottle of Ruffino Champagne and a fresh, long-stemmed strawberry. A treat everyone enjoyed!

Country Fair 1st Birthday Celebration

Ya'll round up for a BBQ!

A steaming grill, balloons and bushels of chips made for a fun afternoon at Luke's first birthday country fair!!!  Over 150 guests enjoyed a beautiful afternoon seated at handmade wooden farm tables beneath hundreds of balloons dancing in arches in the breeze.  Rustic benches made it easy for the little fair-goers to jump away from lunch and run around the massive lawn, jump and slide in the bounce house, get their rosy cheeks painted and, of course, ride ponies!

BBQ burgers and dogs filled wooden tray plates, while guests gnashed on bushel baskets brimming with tortilla chips and salsas.  Red and white checkered runners and red bandana napkins created a casual and celebratory feel throughout this sprawling backyard in the middle of fresh, spring green, corn fields. Chilled giant mason jar dispensers poured fresh lemonade and iced tea endlessly, as our wheel barrow of "Big Boy Brew" iced beer went just as quickly!

Guests sang "Happy Birthday" to our blue eyed guest of honor and indulged in crates and galvanized 

trays of BBQ hot dog and sunflower themed decadent cupcakes.  As the afternoon faded away, our happy and sun-kissed guests were hugged and treated to freshly baked apple and berry pie pops.  The iconic number "1" was custom cut into each pop and tied off with adorable tags thanking them for celebrating with the party's "Cutie Pie," Luke!

Wedding Feature: Central Coast Celebration

A "Day at the Beach" is a far cry from the magical afternoon and evening that we were

privileged enough to create for Sandra and Michael.  Bringing Valley elements to the
Central Coast happens in three large trucks!  Stems began creating a cliff-side
ceremony and tented dinner reception eight months prior to the November 15, 2014
event.

While Sandra knew what she wanted for style and colors, Stems sketched and
composed numerous concepts for her look.  We began with an all white and green,
heavenly ceremony and transitioned it into a midnight blue, white and gold cocktail
celebration. Blossom filled colossal iron urns on the edge of the cliff, framing the couple
as they exchanged vows, consisted of hydrangea and lilies while panicles of ethereal
orchids danced in the ocean breeze. 

The great lawn was filled with eclectic lounge furniture in gold, silver and champagne
that we hand-selected, piece by piece.  Mounds of fashionable pillows were laden on
ottomans and sofas for the guests to relax on while enjoying the California autumn
sunset. Large golden Manzanita branches were dripping in strands of white orchids and
glowing with hanging vases of candles.  Hors d'oeuvres and flutes bubbling with
champagne were hand passed amongst the buzz of guests flooding the bride and groom
with well wishes and showering them with love and joy.  

We created an entrance to the tent with sheer fabrics and amber up lights, a beginning
to a magical dinner reception in warm and inviting grand style. We designed the stark
white tent to have the ceiling lined in sheer fabric billows, with golden lights tucked in
behind this treatment, glowing through like soft sunshine.  We then had side lights and
amber up lights striking all angles of the walls and ceiling.  Instantly, this white vinyl
room became a welcoming, private party.

Tables laced in gold silken linens were kissed with romantic and dramatic floral displays
bursting in reds, wines and bronzes. Tall trumpet vases and low gold trophy bowls were
decadent and spilled natural blooms onto petal-laden table tops, amongst the glow of
dozens of votive candles.

Guests toasted, dined and danced into the star filled night.  Upon their exit to their
guest suites, they were treated to a hot coffee station with liqueurs and each couple
received a custom golden box filled with homemade chocolate chip cookies, a sweet
ending to  a wonderful celebration.
