KEEPING YOUR EVENT DECOR FRUITY

September 10, 2015 admin Leave a comment

We, at Cabo Flowers & Cakes, know a little trick to keep your event decor fabulous – and affordable – with a touch of whimsy! Add a bit of fruit to your decor. Yes….fruit! Lemons and limes are our favorites, but really you can add almost any type of fruit. Keep it whole or slice it…just make sure to showcase the true beauty and color of the fruit. And make sure it’s a match, color-wise, for your event’s theme and decor.

These sliced lemons lining the tall cylinder vases were a perfect fit for this luncheon’s bright, airy, and natural look. Adding the baby’s breath, Mason jars, and wrapping everything in raffia added the final finishing touches.

For this Cabo wedding’s natural feel, curly willow and tall cylinders of whole limes, lining the aisle walkway, were added to the ceremony decor. What a perfect way to mix the colors of brown, green and white! Very creative, very catchy!

Interested in adding some color, texture and a hint of fun to your wedding decor? Give our floral designers at Cabo Flowers & Cakes a call. We’ll create something delicious for you!

ARCHES AND FRAMES – THE CHUPPAH’S COUNTERPART

August 12, 2015 admin Leave a comment

Here in Cabo, the chuppah (also sometimes called a canopy) gets all the attention. With it’s four legs, and it’s beautiful draping…most of our brides start their wedding planning intent on a structure like this. But, we wanted to let everyone know…at Cabo Flowers and Cakes, we love arches and frames too.

What’s a frame? It’s basically a two-legged chuppah/canopy, and so we add this to the arch category as well. These ceremony structures are just as beautiful as many of the chuppahs and canopies we design (and they are more affordable). Here are a few to convince you, too:

Remember, in Cabo we are famous for our Arch. So…maybe your wedding ceremony decor should include one as well!

CUPCAKES VS. CAKES – WHICH IS BEST FOR YOUR EVENT?

August 5, 2015 admin Leave a comment

Remember being a kid and loving the cupcakes your Mom brought to school on your birthday? People have always loved cupcakes…they’re cute, individual and easy to eat. Face it, they’re fun! It’s no different here in Cabo…we love our cupcakes too.

But cupcakes for your Cabo wedding?

Cupcakes have reached a new level of popularity with many of the cupcake reality shows like “The Cupcake Girls” and “Cupcake Wars.” However, unlike in the States, here in Cabo we don’t have a speciality cupcake shop on every street corner. Therefore, if you want a cupcake, you need to order one from us, Cabo Flowers and Cakes.

But, again, the question, cupcakes for your Cabo wedding?

Sure, if you want them! Wedding cakes have always reigned supreme and probably always will. But cupcakes add a touch of whimsy to what can be a very serious affair (your wedding!) The brides that choose cupcakes do so for the following reasons:

Fun!
A variety of flavors
As a unique decor item
As part of a larger dessert bar
In conjunction with a wedding cake

So, go ahead, order cupcakes for your Cabo wedding! Let us know what flavors you want (yes, you can add a filling to a cupcake as well) and we’ll help you design something that will make your guests smile (and grab a chocolate one AND a strawberry one!) Because, sometimes, with cupcakes, just one won’t do.

DON’T LEAVE YOUR CHAIRS NAKED

July 29, 2015 admin Leave a comment

When we at Cabo Flowers and Cakes work with you to create your Cabo wedding decor, we have a checklist of sorts. We know every element that can be made to shine with flowers, and there is ultimately one part of ceremony decor that many brides overlook. Their chairs!

Please, we beg of you, don’t leave your ceremony chairs naked. They flank your aisle, where you will walk as you greet the love of your life. Your aisle will be prominent in all of your photos and so will the chairs that line the aisle.

Chair flowers are fun, festive and they tie together all your ceremony decor. Use them just on the aisles (for a more affordable option) or place one on each chair (either on the back or on the side.) Even if you are using a chair cover or a chair tie, there is always a beautiful space for a flower as well. The results will be…phenomenal!

REAL WEDDING: PAULINA & MICHAEL

July 13, 2015 admin Leave a comment

PaulinaMike_411 We, at Cabo Flowers and Cakes, get a lot of pictures sent to us of floral items that brides want us to (re)create for their weddings. What is our most requested chuppah? It’s this beautiful design that we created for Paulina and Michael’s beach ceremony at El Dorado Beach & Golf Club! Because it is so loved, we decided to feature their wedding as this month’s Real Wedding Highlight. (Plus the antique chandelier is just simply gorgeous!)

PaulinaMike_348

Paulina and Michael were high school sweethearts. Her mom owned a house in Cabo, where she had spent many wonderful days and weeks, and so when she and Michael decided to get married, they knew Cabo was the place! El Dorado was a gorgeous option for their ceremony and reception, and so the planning began.

With orange being their primary color, and brown, natural beige, and yellow being highlight colors, we focused on a simple arrangement of just orange/yellow cala lilies for her bridal bouquet . Paulina wanted to let the bright colors speak for themselves, without crowding in lots of secondary colors. We think her approach worked wonderfully!

However, when it came time to decorate for her reception tables, Paulina knew that she wanted to create table centerpieces that were spectacular, and that added some additional color to her bronze table linens. She added in white and orange roses, with green cymbidium orchids and draped Belles of Ireland, with alternating dark wood pillars and bronze urns, for a high-low look. With the glow of her amber candles, the tables were so romantic and carried out her brown and orange theme perfectly! We at Cabo Flowers and Cakes are proud to have been a part of this amazing Cabo wedding! And we’d be happy to re-create this look for you, too!

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH – LUIS FERNANDO

July 13, 2015 admin Leave a comment

Proud doesn’t even begin to describe how we feel about July’s Employee of the Month, Luis Fernando. He’s been a member of our Cabo Flowers and Cakes family for four years, and he has grown so much in his knowledge of flowers, floral design, and customer service. When you get some of our beautiful flowers delivered to your event, it helps to know the faces behind the scenes.

Things to know about Luis Fernando:

He loves his job. He creates floral arrangements, makes deliveries, works with clients, and sets up for weddings. His favorite part of the job? Driving the Cabo Flowers and Cakes van around Cabo, making deliveries.

He loves flowers. His favorite flower? The Casablanca lily. Why? “Because they are durable (very important when you are a florist!) and smell nice,” he explains.

Making clients happy makes him happy. “When a client is happy, then I feel content and satisfied with my job,” he says with a smile.

The Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Sky Pool is his favorite wedding location in Cabo. This is interesting, because this is not the easiest location to work at (lots of hills going down to the beach, which then, of course, you must go up again as well!) But it is an amazing location and so worth the extra bit of effort! Check it out.

He loves going to the beach! (Like everyone else who lives or visits Cabo! Our beaches are gorgeous!)

Why he thinks a client should use Cabo Flowers and Cakes? “Because we do good work!”

GETTING CREATIVE WITH YOUR CHUPPAH

July 13, 2015 admin Leave a comment

Destination Wedding Photos by Dino Gomez

There is nothing more perfect and beautiful for a Cabo beach wedding than a chuppah at the center of your outdoor ceremony. They are so popular here for a reason…because they look amazing in pictures and they are extremely romantic. (Plus, they are easy to set up in the sand, in grass or on a platform, and they form a perfect backdrop to the crashing waves of Cabo.)

A simple bamboo chuppah structure can be transformed based on the fabrics and flowers that you choose (and many other items that work well to decorate a chuppah too, like shells, starfish, feathers, and more.) You are truly only limited by your imagination (and your weddings color scheme!)

Here are some of our favorites…to inspire you, to delight you, and to prove that your chuppah is an important part of your floral decor. We here at Cabo Flowers and Cakes are the Cabo Floral Experts and we get great joy from helping you create the chuppah you’ve envisioned for your Cabo wedding!
