I think lanterns are a lovely touch and a way to make your wedding stand out. These Ikea lanterns are inexpensive and can be used for a variety of things! Centerpieces, decor, hanging lighting….or my personal fave, a great alternative to a traditional bouquet!
Girl Scout Cookie time is a highly anticipated time of year… its practically its own season! And with their popularity its only natural that people begin to incorporate them in their own weddings. I loved this idea from Kelly McWilliams of Weddings by Socialites!

Its such a fun DIY idea and you can be sure that no favors will be left behind! And since it is a DIY idea you have the freedom to change it up however you like! Me….I LOVE Milano Cookies. So taking this idea and using the Milano cookies would be a little more me!
Thanks for such a fab idea, Kelly!

We had the pleasure of working with My Splendid Sentiments on a wedding just over a week ago. You never know what the end result will be when working with a new florist. Sometimes they deliver exactly what you expect them to, sometimes they fall short and occasionally they blow you away. My Splendid Sentiments blew us away! First, their ability to work with a budget is unbelievable! The bride had to re-adjust her budget after contracting My Splendid Sentiments, but with some changes and tweaks they were still able to deliver the bride’s vision!
The bouquets were exquisite and perfectly detailed. I myself am not a fan of a floral bouquet bedazzled within an inch of its life. But the brides bouquet of merlot calla lilies, black magic roses and monkey tails was exquisite. On the occasional calla there was a trio of jewels accenting the petal and a few monkey tails sported jewels also. But they hit just the right note of accenting the flowers and not weighing them down.
The flowers were fresh! I have on occasion brought home a bouquet from a wedding that was left strewn around when everyone else was gone. The white rose ones brown and die in a couple of days because the flowers are not as fresh. The white rose bouquet from My Splendid Sentiments lasted a week. I was even able to pull out a few roses that were still looking fresh and put them in a small vase…they’re still going strong!
And the professionalism of their staff was completely refreshing! They worked effectively and efficiently as a team and looked like professionals. The ladies had matching black aprons and the guys wore black polos…it definitely speaks to how detailed they are.
There was a timing issue that came up and when we told our contact about it she said, “Okay! We’ll take care of it.”
My Splendid Sentiments is definitely on my list of quality and professional florists in San Diego!

These photos were taken by my fantastic assistant Briana. We worked on an afternoon wedding in December at the Prado in Balboa Park. Here’s a glimpse of the beautiful ceremony site there!
The reception was held in the Prado’s Ballroom. I’ll post more as soon as I get them! For more details on having a wedding at the Prado visit their website:
