Meet the Expert
When the weather outside is frightful, San Francisco floral designer Claire Marie Johnston makes blooms look delightful. Her secret? A pink-and-white palette, budding branches, and festive trimmings. “Weddings should never feel cold, even in winter,” says Claire Marie Johnston, owner of Flowers Claire Marie in San Francisco. Her aesthetic, though modern, isn’t sterile: She favors romantic arrangements that brim with garden-fresh varietals. Johnston is also known for surprise touches that complement her designs, such as bowls of candy and pink sea salts. “I’m big on the little things that make guests feel appreciated,” she says.
I added some beautiful rhinestone flower picks from The Buckle Boutique, http://thebuckleboutique.com/Rhinestone-Broochs-with-Green-Stems.aspx to my bouquet. They made it absolutely gorgeous!
