Tranquil wonderland – Nestldown

Jen & Ben's wedding

Nestldown is just a minute away from the Silicon Valley, but it is nothing like the busy city. Walking down the road, you will be surrounded by ponds, waterfalls and many many redwood trees. With the harpist’s music as background, this is really a perfect place for a peaceful and heavenly ceremony.

Plum Perfect

Sugar plum is definitely the color for Jaclyn and John and we are so thrilled to help them with their wedding decor as we love the Carneros Innand we definitely won’t mind visiting Napa!! Before the setup, Gary helped Canna and I took some pictures at the Apple Orchard. We are still waiting for the pictures from Anna Kuperberg Photography, but I am going to share with you some of the pictures Gary took. Of course, it is nothing compared to Anna’s ones. She is my favorite photographer and her works has appeared in many wedding magazines and is in the permanent collections of the Philadelphia Art Museum and the St. Louis Art Museum.

Basic Orchid Care

Light – Give bright indirect sunlight and always avoid direct sunlight as it may burn the leaves and prevent it from flowering. For Alamedans, you may move your orchids to outdoor for fresh air, morning mist, and good indirect sunlight (not when temperature is below 50 °F).
Water – Keep the soil moist but do not over water. In general, water it once a week or you may simply soak it in pot of water for 15 minutes to ensure it gets enough water, but remember to drain out water completely. You may also feel the moisture of the soil with your finger to check whether it is damp or moist before watering again.
Temperature & Humidity- The ideal temperature for most Orchids is between 64°F to 75°F. Orchid loves humidity, so if your environment is a bit dry, you may put a dish of water next to your orchid to raise the humidity.

Feeding – Plants can be killed by over-feeding.
