These Trends are the Secret Ingredient to Wedding Fabulousness!

With the first month of 2016 coming to a close (can you believe how quickly January has flown by!), we wanted to highlight a few more wedding trends that we think are adorable and truly fabulous and should be brought here to Cabo immediately!

  1. Especially with a destination wedding like this one in Cabo, it can be difficult to include all of our besties, especially our furry ones! So what better way to include them, then to give their photos a place of honor at the reception. elegant-pink-flower-table-garland-runners-for-wedding-centerpiece-ideas
  2. Instead of linen table runner, try a floral table runner on a simple white linen. Lined with candles, this adds the drama of hundreds of flowers, still leaving room for your guests to be able to chat across and down the long table.

4. The flowers should, of course, scream glamour, but let’s not forget about the vase! Clear vases, emphasizing the beauty of the stems, with rocks (or shells, or jewels, or seaglass…the list goes on) are clean and simply gorgeous.

REAL LIFE WEDDING: Mallory & Evan

MalloryEvan43

Welcome to Mallory & Evan’s special day! It’s bright, beautiful and full of fun! We at Cabo Flowers & Cakes loved creating the flowers and floral decor for this exuberant couple for their dream destination wedding in Cabo! Once again, we also loved working with these amazing vendors here in Cabo: Beth Dalton, owner of For You, I Do Weddings and amazing photographer, Daniel Jireh.  (Thanks for sharing the photos, Daniel!)

Mallory & Evan’s chuppah (shown above) was so creative and showcased their happy personalities perfectly! Those balls are officially called “pomanders” and we were so pleased with this whimsical wedding look!

We also had a blast creating this beautiful bouquet!  Mallory wanted color and succulents, and we were happy to oblige!

Her bridesmaid bouquets were similar (just a bit smaller) and added even more pops of color throughout the wedding!

One of our favorite parts of Mallory & Evan’s floral design were these luscious hair flowers!  What true beauty…just what every bride wants for her wedding day!

Congratulations, Mallory & Evan!  Thanks for making Cabo Flowers & Cakes such a large part of your special day!

By The Sea: Beach Inspired Yummies for your Wedding

Yes, we know, Cabo is one of thBlue sea and flowerse top destinations for a beach weddings (if not THE top destination!)  Our ocean is teal blue, our Cabo beaches are golden, and the sunsets are truly painted with an artist’s brush!  So, we here at Cabo Flowers and Cakes get it, the beach and the ocean are truly inspirations for your event.

That’s why we think you should consider including a Cabo beach theme as part of your wedding treats…whether it’s your actual wedding cake or maybe some other type of treat (see our cute beachy cupcakes below.)

Cabo Flowers and Cakes specializes in white chocolate and/or milk chocolate shells, that you can use to decorate your wedding cake.  (Look closely and see how adorable this cake topper is!)  The shells can also be colored (think coral for star fish or just get creative) to match your theme.

 

fun beach cupcakesTo be used as an after-event treat, we can create these cupcakes with sunglasses, flip flops or palm trees.  (Get creative and let us know what else you’d like to include…we are always open to your ideas!)

This wedding cake below showcases some of our white chocolate shells options.  We can also include Bride/Groom sea horses as a cake topper, if that’s what you’d like.

Meet Perla…She’s creating your arrangement!

After 8 years at Cabo Flowers and Cakes, we can’t imagine how we’d get along without Perla.  She is one of our top floral designers, having risen through the ranks at Cabo Flowers and Cakes over the years.  She’s an orchid lover, and a wedding lover! In fact, one of her favorite parts of her job is going to the actual weddings and helping to set up all the florals.  She’s a hard worker (it’s gets hot and sweaty, pulling together all the floral arrangements for a beach wedding in Cabo!) but she never complains!  She can wield a staple gun along with the best of them, and can fix a troublesome flower with tools from her every-handy toolbox!

Perla’s favorite wedding locations are Cabo del Sol golf clubhouse and the Sunset Da Mona Lisa restaurant, and her favorite part of her job is producing the floral arrangements for a wedding.  She says she loves it when she delivers the wedding flowers, and everyone smiles!

Perla  recently worked with a local wedding planner, Katie Thompson of Dazzle ‘Em Event Design, putting together elaborate floral decor for a beachfront wedding.  “I love Perla!  I love the way she takes what she does so seriously!” said Katie.   “Every wedding is very important to her.  For every flower order, she checks, re-checks and then checks again to make sure everything is literally perfect!”

On a personal note, Perla is also an avid soccer player.  In fact, practicing her English, she sang, “I love, love soccer!” as she was being interviewed! She also loves learning English and has become much more outgoing in her second language.

Why should a client use Cabo Flowers and Cakes? “Porque somos los mejores,” Perla says.  (Translation: Because they are the best!)

 

FOR THE LOVE OF SUCCULENTS:

Let’s take a minute and celebrate the most popular plant to now be a part of the Cabo wedding scene!  It’s our little green friend…the succulent! It’s popping up everywhere… from rustic farm weddings to beachfront seaside weddings like we have here in our beautiful destination wedding location, Cabo San Lucas.  And we at Cabo Flowers & Cakes couldn’t be happier!!!

Succulents grow as an individual bloom and are the perfect shade of a mellow, mild green.  They add color and texture to any floral arrangement without stealing the glory from other beautiful blooms.  They are hardy and long-lasting, and add a bit of fun too!

We love to add succulents to bouquets (bridal and bridesmaid), table centerpieces, as boutonnieres (not usually the whole bloom but just a snippet of one), and as mini arrangements perfect for a cocktail table or in a restroom.

Really, the only limit to what you can use a succulent for is your imagination or your budget.

ARCHES AND FRAMES – THE CHUPPAH’S COUNTERPART

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:Arch,wbranches&dendrobs 2013-05-25 15.22.51 2012-05-11 10.51.20CanopyDesigner Luis Fernando putting final touches on arch2012-03-31 14.30.15

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

GETTING CREATIVE WITH YOUR CHUPPAH

 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!
