the tiniest of places

There is nothing tiny about Tiny Boxwood's.  But intimate, sophisticated, romantic... YES.  This has become one of my all time favorite venues in Houston.  Not only because of all that was previously mentioned, but because the people that work there are lovely and the atmosphere is perfection.  And the food... well that's stating the obvious.

We couldn't have been more excited when our bride, Lauren, contacted us to create arraignments for this intimate affair.  It was her vow renewal and it was a very special one.  And then we met her, and we were even more convinced that this was the perfect match.  She wanted a romantic, french provence aesthetic, which is secretly how I would get married. 

This is what we created:

the view from my seat!!!

You guys everything is coming together and we couldn't be more excited.  Are you as curious as I am about people's day to day?  What does their office look like, what cool computer do they use, items on their desk, etc. ?  Well I am, I always want to know what people are up to, but from afar. :-) And of course that is why social media is so popular, because it quenches our thirst of endless curiosity.  And for the people who know me, I am curious to a fault.

For those of you guys that are exactly like me, here is a shot of my desk.  It's a little staged with the new Silk & Willow ribbon we go it for next week's wedding, but it is exactly what it looks like every day. I have my camera sitting right next to me and fresh flowers at my desk.  After all, I got in the industry of flower designing because I LOVE fresh flowers.  And you might wonder, is it always roses?  YES!!! The more scented the better. 

I placed my desk so I can always face the outside.  If it's sunny, I never turn the lights on.  If as storm is rolling in, I've got a front row seat.  Life is good. 

before anything else

Here it is you guys, a little sneak peak of the new Maxit Studio.  We have been working hard on getting the right pieces for such an important space and could't be more excited to give you this sneak peak.  I wanted to make sure to have a neutral space where creativity can begin.  

A space where you don't feel overwhelmed by color, style and design that might not be spot on to what you want for your event/wedding.  Neutral, I believed, was a perfect place to begin.  Where ideas can develop and form to be something amazing.  A landing spot if you will for endless creativity.  

There are still so many touches that are going to be added that I can't wait to slowly reveal them all as they get added to the space.  

I'm back

My gosh 2015 wedding kicked my butt!! It truly showed me who was boss and it wasn't me.  It was the most insane whirlwind of creativity, madness, joy, laughter and hard work.  But it was the best combination of things to create the most successful season to date.  With an amazing team at hand, we created some of the most gorgeous events and I couldn't be more proud. 

For the next couple of weeks we will be concentrating on bring a new series of events/workshops, blog post of this past season and fully moving into our new studio!!! YES!!! It finally happened. After setting a goal to move into  Maxit flower design's first studio within the first 5 years of business... without really noticing... it happened.  I mean, don't get me wrong, I noticed (I do pay rent).  But I truly forgot that it was my goal to meet the 5yr mark.  

My gosh, don't get me started on the importance on setting goals, writing them down, owning them, talking about them and making them come to reality.  

So with out further a-do here is a wedding I absolutely loved creating.  This client was a combo, bride, groom and mother team.  They were super sweet, loving, hilarious and meticulous.  They wanted the most memorable, joyous and flower filled event.  And we couldn't have been more excited to have been asked to create flower arrangements for their special event.  This is some of what we created:

watercolor + flower = endless fun
