PURPLES, BLUES AND CORALS FROM THE SEA -THE RITZ -HALF MOON BAY-

KANAKO  YACHI CAME TO ME WITH HER EVENT PLANNER, KIYOE LOGAN OF "CELEBRATIONS BY KIYOE". RIGHT FROM THE GET GO IT WAS PURPLE,BLUES, AND SOME TOKENS FROM THE SEA. THE CEREMONY AND RECEPTION WERE TO BE AT THE RITZ IN HALF MOON BAY, A DREAM LIKE WEDDING VENUE WITH A CALMING HYPNOTIC VIEW OF THE THE PACIFIC..

AS THE DESIGN PROGRESSED, I HAD CONVINCED HER TO USE SOME UNUSUAL
"UN-WEDDINGY "MATERIALS SUCH SUCH ARTICHOKE, SUCCULENTS AND THE MUCH DREADED BUT HAS BECOME A GREAT "COME BACK KID" CARNATIONS. CARNATION HAS COME BACK WITH A VENGEANCE OF EXTRA ORDINARY COLOR NO I HAVE SEEN IN OTHER FLOWERS. DEEPEST OF PURPLES, RED VIOLET , GREENS AND BURGUNDY. KANAKO YACHI MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING REALLY GOOD AS A LITTLE GIRL BECAUSE THE WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY OF THAT WEEK WERE DRENCHED WITH HEAVY RAINS, HAIL AND FLOODING IN THE BAY AREA BUT ON SATURDAY HER WEDDING DAY, THE SKIES OPENED UP AND THE SUN CA,ME THROUGH, IT TURNED OUT TO BE A GLORIOUS DAY TO PROFESS THEIR LOVE AMONGST FRIENDS AND FAMILY. YES...
