Lily and Brett’s wedding will forever live rent-free in my heart. Their ceremony was held at The Neighborhood Church in Rancho Palos Verdes, perched right on a cliff with those dreamy Pacific Ocean views that basically beg to be in a wedding album. It’s one of the most stunning Southern California ceremony locations, and their day fit it perfectly.

From the very beginning, Lily had such a clear vision for her florals: delicate, organic, soft, and romantic. Her palette mixed lavender, dusty rose, peach, purple, and light blue, giving us the sweetest blend of gentle color without losing that elevated, intentional feel. When we met for the Portofino Hotel floral mock-up, everything just clicked. Lily was exactly what her wedding style reflected: kind, thoughtful, and quietly confident in what she wanted. And she and Brett? Truly such a cool, fun couple, easy to work with and so trusting in the process.

For their Rancho Palos Verdes wedding, I designed custom, garden-inspired florals that brought a soft, romantic movement to both the cliffside ceremony and their Portofino Hotel reception. Every piece, from the bouquets to the centerpieces, was crafted to highlight the ocean backdrop and reflect their warm, genuine personalities.

This gallery is one of my favorites to date, and it beautifully showcases how personalized, high-quality floral design can transform a space and tell a couple’s story with intention.
