blumen-meisters Flower Market: Shelley and Eric Delgado Wedding

Shelley and Eric Delgado Wedding

Meet Shelley and Eric Delgado...  Our bride and groom from last weekend.  They were so much fun to work with.  We had great Vendors too...  Embassy Suites/San Marcos, The Smile House/Wootan Wedding Photography, Jennifer with Silverplate Photography, San Marcos First Baptist Church.  Shelley and Eric's family were amazing and treated us like we were one of theirs.  Knowing them has enriched my life.

A cold front blew in that day...  Instead of freaking OUT...  Wootan Photography worked it!! 

Shelley and her girls were stunning....  to create Shelley's bouquet, I used sexy Freedom  Roses, Black Beauty Roses and Black Magic Roses.  Topped off with a ton of bling...  it was extraordinary.

The First Baptist Church in San Marcos is a beautiful facility.  In their sanctuary is a massive section of seating for their choir..  A clever and inexpensive way to disguise those chairs...  room dividers!!!  It created a very dramatic look and complimented the pew decoration.

For those of you who know me, I've admitted my love for everything Halloween.  Okay, maybe not everything....  I accidentally (long story) saw "Sinister," last weekend. Let's just say I prefer vintage holiday decor to the scary stuff on the screen!
