I already have a handful of loyal customers who have been coming in a few times a week since the beginning, and I can’t wait to gain more over time.”Born in Syracuse, Rae moved to southern California with her mother at the age of four, returning to CNY each year to visit family and friends.The florist discovered her interest in design at the age of 20 while working at a beachside hotel in California.“We would receive a beautiful floral arrangement for the lobby weekly, and something just clicked in me that designing was something I wanted to pursue,” she said. “From there I traveled to LA and San Francisco, taking course after course on designing and also working in shops and design studios. Over the past 10 years I’ve lived in four different states, always with the same career and end goal in mind.”After deciding to settle down in Central New York to be near her family, Rae began searching for a perfect location to open a shop.“I found it here, in the heart of Cazenovia,” she said. “The amount of creativity and support in this community is so inspiring and something I am very excited to be a part of.”For more information, visit the Jasmine Rae Floral Design Facebook page, or call 315-815-5043.

Coco Shop Designer Taylor Simmons Wore Floral Oscar de la Renta for Her Outdoor Ceremony Overlooking the Ocean - Vogue

It was a sophisticated detail that made it feel even more like we were inviting everyone into our home,” Taylor says. Jameson’s father, who was unable to fly to the wedding from California, grows grapes and makes wine in Mendocino County, California. He provided wine with personalized labels commemorating the original November date. “I love that Jameson had a little bit of home with him in Massachusetts that day through the wine,” Taylor says. At 1:30 p.m., guests were invited to sit for lunch, which took place steps away under a tent on the home’s grass terrace. The terrace perfectly fit two tables and allowed for seating at a distance. “I made the table cloths and napkins out of Coco Shop fabric, and Laura, the... https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/taylor-simmons-jameson-mcfadden-cape-cod-wedding

Coronavirus foils wedding plans — for Bay Area workers - Vallejo Times-Herald

Artisans, professionals and hourly workers in California’s booming wedding industry are scrambling as nuptials are postponed or canceled, said Richard Markel, president of the Association for Wedding Professionals International. About a quarter-million couples tie the knot in California each year, spending an average of about $25,000 on a ceremony — although the Bay Area and Wine Country are more expensive, he said.Planners are concerned the statewide shelter-in-place will stretch into their busy season, which usually begins in June, he said. “It’s going to get a little hairier.”Eileen Lacey, owner of E Events in Santa Cruz, now has clients postponing June ceremonies. She’s resisted layoffs for her three employees, who help manage weddings from Carmel to Wine Country and beyond for national and international clients.Lacey has spent weeks rescheduling events. She’s not charging for the complicated work. “I’m just doing it,” she said. “Everyone’s trying to do what they can.”Carlie Statsky, a Santa Cruz-based photographer, typically shoots about 20 weddings a year. It’s been a steady business for two decades — until now. Her March was canceled, her April events postponed, and now May is starting to look iffy, she said.Statsky has changed focus. She’s directing customers to her print shop on Etsy, and emailing past clients about ordering wedding albums and new prints of their nuptials.Statsky spotted another opportunity in the work-from-home customers. She’s invited people to send in photos of their rooms, and she’s suggested new prints from her collection of Big Sur and nature photos. “People are using this time to redecorate,” she said.Caterers have tried to shift into home delivery and pick-up services, but layoffs are widespread.Berkeley-based caterer Mixing Bowl has laid-off staff as events have been canceled or postponed, said vice president of marketing Maria Kuzmina. The company is trying to switch its business to sell directly to customers, but it needs more delivery drivers and customer service representatives. “We’re trying to create a whole new platform,” she said. “It’s tricky.”The company has reached out to hospitals and health care facilities, offering to bring lunches and dinners at cost to first responders, she said. But healthcare workers are busy caring for virus victims.Liza Bagerman, a San Francisco event planner with her own business, Studio DBI, has been rescheduling weddings for more than a month. She thought she had prepared for the worst-case scenario, but not “a world-wide pandemic.”She wakes up every morning, she says, thinking about ways to generate income. Bagerman knows she’s not alone. “I think the events world is going to be forever changed,” she said. “The answer is still a question mark.”In Palo Alto, the bouquets have been selling briskly, Minerva said. She hopes her temporary change in business plan gets her through the crisis.After all, she’s filled the yard with flowers, and the irises, pansies and roses bloom next. https://www.timesheraldonline.com/2020/04/03/coronavirus-foils-wedding-plans-for-workers
