A little teaser of my wittle man! Photography by my sweet friend Evie from Eva Marie Photography!
Yay, C & O had a mother’s day pop up shop at Anthopologie, Pasadena!! And what can be better than that you ask? Hmmm, how about selling out!!! We took our love for texture and our courage for color to create all this loveliness!!! This event was everything we wanted it to be and more than we could have ever expected!!! Thanks to Tiffany for filling in and helping us out (we had another event so I couldn’t physically be there ;(, but my spirit was present through my arrangements 
). And a big thanks to Evie for lending us her amazing talent and giving us these beautiful pics. Take a peek!!!
So C&O is happy to announce we were featured in the Huffington Post this past weekend. It’s even more special because it’s Elv’s wedding that’s on display. The first wedding we collaborated on in fact. It is still the best wedding I’ve ever been to. The day went too fast and I was sad that such an amazing beautiful night had come to an end. I’m glad we get to revisit the event here in this Vintage 20′s wedding feature. Yay.

How happy are we? Very much so!!! Happy because we get to host our very own Pop Up Shop at Anthropologie, in Pasadena, once again. We will have floral bouquets for sale and even more floral loveliness, styled in an Anthro vessel, ready to gift to the greatest Mother ever. We’d love to see your smiling faces there…Here’s the details…!!!
First of all, I am always quite smitten when couples share a first initial. Like in some way it’s meant to be (kinda cheesy but super cute!!!) Well in some ways this is how I feel about the fact that I was lucky enough to design the flowers for Jovelle and Josh’s magical wedding day. Since I went to high school with Jovelle, it was fun to reconnect and share all the great things that have happened to us throughout the years. Thankfully, from our first consultation I understood her vision and knew it was something right up our alley. I LOVED her venue the Corondolet House. I knew from the get go I wanted to use mercury glass to add some glam and sparkle. A million stars baby’s breath was used throughout the venue and I adored the way it echoed the texture of her “to die for” dress. The bride and groom’s chairs were adorned with a garland of lemon leaf. Wooden boxes were filled with deep plum peonies, white garden roses, and heather grey dusty miller, and set up along the long dinner tables. Mini rosemary trees and white kale were also used to create a fresh modern vibe. A rustic back drop used during the ceremony was made with natural birch branches, and lemon leaf garland. It was also accented with coordinating floral. Her bouquet was made with bunches of lush white peonies. All in all, the event was quite exquisite. Jovelle and Josh make a beautiful couple…very much in love…they were glowing!!! Cheers to them!!!
Oh and I must mention Jovelle is quite the realtor. Check out here site here. Such dreamy homes!!!

This month has been filled with back to back meetings! Good NEWS is our calendar is quickly filling up and we have some fun events to share with all of you very soon! We also have past weddings we need to post too! Till then, here’s a little recap of one of the many exciting things that recently happened with the C & O!
Our watercolor bouquet!! This bouquet was from our first major photo-shoot! We designed every single piece of this shoot (exception of the desserts and paper goods)! It was a scary place for us at the time…confident with our craft but so new with this part of the industry! We learned some hard knock lessons from this shoot and from this we have become so much stronger! The photo shoot received such amazing press and really set the tone to our brand! A time we’ll never forget! And to make things even more major…. the blog who published it, 100 Layer Cake, used our bouquet as part of their advertisement on their front page. SO every time you head to the front page of this fabulous blog…you get to see a part of us. Pretty major in our book…..

Happy Friday!!
Dawn and I have been going through some growing pains this week but with pains comes some exciting new beginnings! We can’t wait to share all the wonderful things coming up! Till then… I thought I would end the week with my spring fashion favorites …
First off … my new fave …the launch of Kate Spade Saturday!
Lastly, my essential fashion must haves…
Denim boyfriend shirt and polka dot print pants, laser cut suede oxfords, and bright red lipstick-French Martini
Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!
Very very happy that Yahoo recognized our eye for design and included us, Charlie & Olivia, in their worldwide SPRING wedding post. This particular bow tie was hand made, hand dyed, and personally created by us. Cheers to C&O and Yahoo!!!
Taking care of my 4 week son Mateo and wedding season fast approaching…this week flew by! I planned to post a recent wedding we worked on but with all that’s going on (all good stuff)…I have to postpone the post for another week or so. However, I thought it would nice to end the week with bright and bold inspiration!
This photo was taken in Mexico City at an outdoor market called Bazar Del Sabado. This outdoor and indoor market is an artsy and colorful place where the local artists sell handcrafted goods. The huge floral arrangement was displayed in a fountain in the middle of a courtyard. It was filled with bright hues of flowers and fruit. It made a huge artful statement and was one of many inspirations on my trip! With the beginning of spring, I thought this could inspire you too! Inspire to be bright and bold!
Things have been busy around here lately, now that baby Mateo has arrived and Charlie is about to turn two. Wedding season is right around the corner and we are so looking forward to all the weddings coming up soon. Here’a a sneak peek of baby Mateo’s photo shoot, it was filled with cuteness. Stay tuned for for the full feature and for all the fun stuff we’ve been up to!!! Cheers!
