it's going to be a fun one

We've slowly been receiving product day by day for a very fun wedding we will be having this weekend.  Blush and white have seen it's day.  I love traditional wedding, they truly have a special place in my heart as I am a very simple person.  BUT, what designer doesn't LOVE to be challenged with their design.  For the past couple of month we have had the pleasure of working with the hardest working nurse we know.  And she happens to have the most adorable name, Dannie! 

She exemplifies this fun loving name to the T.  We met once and she trusted me from the get-go. Every designers dream job.  So now here it is, her wedding is this weekend and we couldn't be more excited about creating something gorgeous for her.

Today we share a little sneak peak of what is to come....

the prefect weather wedding

Some days our bride's get the most amazing weather.  And sometimes that happens at the most amazing outside wedding venue.  This past weekend it was the perfect storm for such a wedding! And it couldn't have happened for the sweetest couple.  

All of the production came together so well with the help of these fabulous ladies! Thank you Melissa Prassad of Pretty Little Details & Ashley of Bourbon and Bloom

at home wedding

This weekend we got spoiled with two adorable at home weddings. These intimate affairs are some of my favorites.  The comfort of the bride and the family help create some of the most adorable images. To decorate someone's private home is such a privilege.  To be invited in to someone's private space, and to be trusted with their home is one of my favorite parts of the job.

No two people live the same, but everyone who invites me in seems to have one thing in common.  Their love for flowers is always noticeable, they always have some of the most gorgeous gardens.  I even had the fortune of having a client ask me to create arrangements from their garden!! As you can tell by those exclamation marks, it's one of my all time favorite things to do.  Using what you've worked so hard on to grow and then allow me to create an arrangement from those gorgeous blooms... ahhh... sheer bliss.

Any who... these are some pics from this past weekend.  Enjoy!

spring wedding flowers

The Spring wedding season has taken off and it's going to be an amazing one.  Seeing the wholesaler just bursting with the most amazing flowers got me so excited for this season.  I have some of the most amazing brides and can't wait to create what's going to be the best season yet! There truly isn't one flower that I can think of that isn't a it's complete prime right now.  And the colors are endless.  Here are some pics I snagged this morning to show off these gorgeous flowers, enjoy!

Here in Houston we have to enjoy these cold days as when the heat comes it stays and those days are rough on flowers.  Even though I am a huge fan of warm weather, days on the beach and wearing dainty summer dresses, our flowers are not that big of a fan of those days.  So until then I will praise these sunny, cold days with these happy flowers.

a simple thank you

There are those times that a simple 'thank you' can make you cry.  I've been running around like a mad woman lately trying to make everything work.  Trying to get everything in order, answering emails, phone calls, attending meetings, walk throughs, creating proposals, future potentials possibilities.... the list could fill this whole blog post and bore us all to death.

After providing florals for the Hailie and Kendall of The White Buffalo Project this past week they handing me a sweet little package and inside I found this print! It brought tears to my eyes.   It was just something I needed to hear and something I needed right at that moment.  We can go through our lives working our days away and through all this, feeling totally under appreciated.  

Women! You truly make the world go round.  Giving your love, appreciation and kindness can propel someone's day, life and business to be something it wasn't just that moment before. Spread it around, everywhere, whenever you can, however you can... just do it.
