Vendor Spotlight: House of Flowers

It is always such a treat to partner with vendors who don’t just see weddings as their job, but as a opportunity to be creative and outlet their passion for beauty. House of Flowers is the perfect example of these values! Each event we work with them we get to watch as Diana and Amanda Klawitter set up our clients for a successful, gorgeous night, sure to wow their guests with the beautiful flowers they choose to use. Diana and Amanda also love to create space for others to discover the joy of florals, with the various workshops they host and teach throughout the year, Bakersfield has been gifted with their ability to bring people together to create and imagine!

When choosing your florist, our tip to you is to research, research, research!! Spend time gettting to know your own style and also the style of your florist. A great florist is someone who will spend time asking you questions on how you want your big day to look, and not every florist is the best at every style. Ask about flowers in season – sometimes the look you are going for doesn’t match the date you’ve booked! Allow your florist to guide you through color schemes and hear out their ideas for the season. A good florist is up on the latest trends and has a team that can do anything from small orders to full floral garlands.

She not only is a professional hair and makeup artist, but she is our friend, and always blows us away with the different looks she puts together.

We cannot stress enough how important it is to bring in a makeup and hair artist the day of your wedding. As a bride, even if you’re a makeup pro, having someone else just as capable be in charge of your face that day will allow you to enjoy your day stress free and know that your look is perfect for pictures under any light. Daniella is passionate about the products she uses and is always giving you great little tips as you let her do her thing!

It seems like everyone is a makeup artist nowadays – when you are choosing your makeup and hair stylist for your big day, remember that experience is always best. Though you may be surrounded by girls who know alot about doing their own makeup, trust a professional who has worked with all kinds of skin tones in all kinds of climates to make sure your look for your day is not only beautiful for pictures, but will look just as stunning at 9pm that night. Long lastinglooks is greater than coolest new trend.

Contact Daniella at Split Ends Hair Salon here in Bakersfield to see what incredible look she puts together for you!

We see how they use the space to get creative, interact with their clients, interact with other vendors and guests, and enjoy the evening. Last Friday we were extra inspired by Makenzie Hollar of Makenzie Photography. Her passion for her craft shined as we saw her giggling with the bride and groom and capturing all their special moments. We couldn’t wait to see her work from that night, so when we we saw she had already posted pictures the day after we were so excited! Makenzie has a knack for capturing bright, vibrant colors and memories. Here’s a sneak peak of some of those memories she captured here at the Noriega House.
