Candles in Cabo – Make Your Wedding Glow

April 2, 2018 admin Leave a comment

When getting married in Los Cabos (whether you are in Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo, Pescadero or Todos Santos), one of the most important elements you can add to your wedding is candlelight! And we have lots of candles, just waiting to decorate your wedding tables and/or ceremony.

The Baja nights are dark (unless you are fortunate enough to have a full moon!) but that makes your candlelit tables and ceremonies even more romantic! Some brides (like the table below) use just candles to decorate their tables. This bride used 50 of our candles (or varying dimensions) for each of her 4′ x 8′ rectangular tables.

Sometime (like below) candles are an accent to everything else important that is going on on a table.

And sometime, though this is actually rare here in Cabo San Lucas, our candles are there to light up the actual night time ceremony. (Most photographers prefer to photograph sunset ceremonies an hour before sunset, but this Cabo wedding ceremony was beautifully photographed and truly stunning, even after sunset.) Click here for a great link to determine your Cabo wedding sunset time.

The bottom line is that when you are planning your florals for your Cabo wedding, you must also plan your candles. You will want a lot of them to create an ambiance that will be dreamlike and alluring!www.loscabosflowers.com

Let Them Eat Cake!

March 28, 2018 admin Leave a comment

For today’s blog, we want to showcase a few of our most recent Cabo wedding cakes! Cabo is actually a very small town and there are not many of us making American-style wedding cakes for our Cabo brides so we are proud to have such a coveted spot and to be so well-loved by our brides.

We have a large variety of flavors & fillings, and we know what your guests want, what they are expecting from your wedding cake. Some of our most popular flavors are: lemon cake with lemon curd filling, Mexican chocolate cake with white chocolate filling, and white almond cake with hazelnut mousse filling. We always recommend a butter cream frosting as we can be a bit warm here for your Cabo wedding! For more detailed information regarding our cakes and other desserts, please check out our Cakes section of our website.

We are here to help you design and create the most amazing wedding cake for your Cabo Destination Wedding. (We also provide flowers & events rentals as well.)

Orange & Hot Pink Mexican Birthday Party!

November 8, 2017 admin Leave a comment

Take a look at this festive, fun & colorful 50th Birthday Celebration!!!
We worked closely with the client’s U.S. wedding planner, Jayne at Just Jayne Events, and the resort planner at Rancho Pescadero, Katie Thompson, to bring the birthday girl’s vision to fruition!

Our client was so thrilled with our paper flower wall, hand-cut and designed by our Donna (on the left) with help from Perla (on the right). This was a photo op location at the entrance to the resort and then provided a back drop for the 3-tier birthday cake. Adding succulents in pots also added a fun element of greenery to the rustic wooden farm tables. Our flags, and paper flower pom-poms, glowed as the pink & orange lighting shone in the Rancho Pescadero Palm Grove.

Celebrate your special milestones in style! Have fun, and create your dream event, we’re here to help!

Real Wedding: Ellie & Tyler – Cabo Del Sol Golf Clubhouse

July 25, 2017 admin Leave a comment

Our beautiful bride, Ellie, knew exactly what she wanted her bouquet to look like…natural, leafy, green & white only, and very fresh and romantic! We know we fulfilled her every wish & presented her with her perfect bridal bouquet!

One of our favorite parts of a Cabo wedding is when, working with a wedding planner, we get to present the personal flowers to the bride and groom.
Getting ready to proceed down to the ceremony….the florals all look perfect!

The palm arch and pineapple & Bird of Paradise leaf aisle decor look adorable…and we used the pineapples as cocktail table decor after the ceremony! Papel picado table signs…a great way to bring a little bit of Mexico into your Cabo destination wedding decor!

A eucalyptus leaf floral runner was stunning on the wooden farm tables!

Love the look of Ellie & Tyler’s wedding? Contact us today & we’ll help you create your own special version of this fabulous floral decor! www.loscabosflowers.com

Two Tier Cakes: Terrific!

March 4, 2017 admin Leave a comment

Let’s be honest…we all know it’s the big, multi-tiered wedding cakes that get all the press…all the Oooohs and Aaaaaahs! But, the truth is that many of our requests for wedding cakes are for two-tier cakes that still have a very special wedding feel to them. We are so happy to create these lovely wedding cake for our amazing clients!

Here are a few of our two-tier favorites:

We added a glitzy, sparkling cake stand to this cake…giving it the feel of a third tier at fractions of the cost.

Adding a special design, in a metallic gold, makes the cake a true sparkler!

Succulents and eucalyptus greens are a favorite greenery used often by our brides. We love the natural and sweet look of this!

Bring the beach vibe to your two-tier cake, by adding the white starfish and blue ribbon, with yellow flowers to shine on your cake!

We are in Cabo so adding white chocolate shells is always fun!

Pink ombre is beautiful and romantic…and looks lovely with the ocean blue in the background.

We here south of the border, in beautiful Cabo San Lucas, have rung in the New Year and are so excited to be introducing our brides and our local clients to some of the most stunning new trends for the year of 2017!

These are some ideas we know we’ll be seeing a lot more of at our Cabo weddings…and that we are thrilled about. Can we help you, dear bride, include some of these great ideas into your wedding’s floral plan?

TREND #1: FREE-FLOWING, MORE NATURAL & LESS STRUCTURED BRIDAL BOUQUETS:

TREND #2: BRIGHT COLORS AS PART OF YOUR CABO WEDDING FLORAL PLAN. Color like: reds, oranges, & yellows.

TREND #3: PROTEAS! ALL KINDS OF PROTEAS! These funky and sassy flowers are the belle of the ball lately…and we love them! In bouquets and on tables!

TREND #4: FLOWER GIRL HEAD WREATHS. (These were popular in 2016 and will continue to be in 2017, with lots of color as well!)

TREND #5: MIX OF BOUTONNIERES. (Make them each just a bit different to match the groomsmen’s unique personalities.)

Real Wedding: Meredith & PJ’s Baja Destination Wedding

December 12, 2016 admin Leave a comment

Our last Real Wedding post for our Cabo Flowers & Cakes blog for the 2016 year is one of our favorites! Our clients, Meredith & PJ, had such a memorable wedding at Rancho Pescadero…and so much fun! They were all smiles and their playful spirits showed through in their flowers choices as well!

Meredith’s head wreath (a perfect fit with her loose braid) and floral bouquet were bright, colorful, whimsical and natural. She didn’t want anything sculpted or too big; she wanted flowers that fit with the stunning environment at their amazing wedding location, Rancho Pescadero.

Meredith & PJ’s flower girl (with petals in her purse…so cute!) modeled another boho-type head wreath. We create our head wreaths with a special back enclosure so that each wreath fits each individual head perfectly! No bobby pins needed!

We love the way Meredith is holding her bouquet…she wanted a casual look with her bouquet as she walked down the aisle. Nothing too rehearsed looking…just a easy stroll to her beloved.

The white paper Mexican flags hanging here are called “Papel Picado” here in Mexico. They are individually cut with beautiful and intricate designs, and are a popular addition to Mexican events. We carry them (in both plastic – more durable – and the traditional paper) and hang them as well. Make this a must-have for your Mexican wedding!

Cake cutting time! After some heavy dancing (and a quick dip in the pool mid-reception), Meredith & PJ cut their simple 3-tier cake. Our name says it all: We are Cabo Flowers & Cakes, and cakes are our specialty as well! This one was, as one of the guests commented, “one of the best tasting wedding cakes ever!”

Cactus Cupcakes: Add some Baja to your wedding dessert table!

October 28, 2016 admin Leave a comment

Kyle & Lauren, like many of our brides & grooms, wanted to incorporate a bit of Baja into their Los Cabos wedding! What better way to do that than to include a cactus or two into their wedding cake design! They decided to add some “cactus” cupcakes to their wedding cake.

They are a popular request, our cactus cupcakes! We provide them for rehearsal dinners, as favors, as part of the wedding cake set-up…or just for fun parties!

We also can design succulent cupcakes (in the same family as a cactus cupcake, but with more of a succulent look.)

There are all kinds of ways to play with this fun trend! (And, by the way, these are all completely edible. Our cake designer creates the “cacti” and “succulents” out of fondant, candy bars, cookies, brown sugar, frosting and more.)

For this kind of cupcake fun & more…please contact Donna Gray @ caboflowersdfb@gmail.com.

Real Wedding: Rancho Pescadero – Crista & Patrice

October 8, 2016 admin Leave a comment

Meet Crista & Patrice and their lovely families (and friends). We are proud to be one of the exclusive floral providers at the amazing Rancho Pescadero, in El Pescadero, about an hour north of Cabo. We design the florals for almost all of their events! An eco-friendly boutique resort with a “namaste” vibe, the environment at Rancho (as the locals call it) is intimate and gorgeous!

We created Crista’s bouquet to include colors that are familiar at Rancho…corals, and oranges, with subdued greens as well. Crista loves big mums and those featured prominently (and beautifully) in her bouquets!

Rancho Pescadero has just recently started offering a smaller wedding package (up to 14 guests) and so, with just 12 guests, Crista had a bridal bouquet and one bridesmaid bouquet. Both were lovely! And the smaller wedding was such a memorable experience for all involved!

With one long table for all of her guests, we created a mix of florals in bud vases, cylinder candles and mercury gold votives, that glowed all night long!
