rice university wedding

July 23, 2019

The images speak for themselves, the couple wanted an easy, clean, yet thoughtful wedding. The details came together to create such a unique timeless event. With concrete vessels and acrylic table numbers the clean lines fit so perfectly in their venue.

Did you know Rive University has an event and wedding venue with their very own chapel? You guys have to check it out! It is one of the event industry’s hidden gems and one of my all time favorite spots. As Rice University as your backdrop you can’t go wrong.

The chapel holds less than 100 people and creates a super intimate vibe that allows the couple to fully focus on themselves and the importance of the day. Roughly a block away guests can proceed to the reception with no fuss. The Cohen house is just a skip and a jump away and invites guests in with a gorgeous view of their gardens.

With large windows and room for roughly 200 the space is perfect for the low key couple. Enough room for a small dance floor and lighting that comes through those windows that people travel all around the world to find, this venue is a hidden gem that we love.

We were so excited when this bride wanted to explore a punch of yellow in her color palette as it is not a frequently requested color palette. But we LOVE it! Soft blushes with a buttery yellow create such a gorgeous garden style that we are very well known for. We hope you love this wedding as much as we did.

the corinthian: modern luxe greens

July 10, 2019

This Corinthian wedding was one for the books. From the understated luxurious elegance of the bride and groom to their fun easy going personality, we would gladly do their wedding over again and again. The brides love of cleans lines and gave us a lot to be creative with.

Michelle and Soo had recently moved to Atlanta to pursue a budding real estate career, but their heart was still in Houston. Most of their family lived here and when they found The Corinthian they new they minds were set on getting married back home.

We met them once and we knew they were the perfect match. Their love for timeless beauty and classic elements and their vision for elevated simplicity was right up our alley. We headed on the design for this event making sure that every rental piece matched their aesthetic. We worked with our local favorites HTX Rentals to create this modern, crisp look.

The tulip tables, acrylic chairs, velvet linens and amazing acrylic head table truly made the room look amazing. We added the floral touches that were mostly greens to accomplish a garden style that was seamless to the overall modern aesthetic. We also wanted to show how these two looks truly look amazing and timeless and believe we accomplished it.

We worked with Kelsey of Spell Events, a local event planner, to create this indoor modern garden wedding and could not be more thrilled with how everything came together.

centennial garden wedding: the oasis in the city

June 20, 2019

Do you know of this gorgeous venue? It is one of our favorites.

This oasis in the city is one of our all time favorite spaces. It has the versatility of a clean space without too much fuss, all in the middle of an urban garden. It has the best of both worlds and allows for our creativity to get to work. With a neutral color palette the space also allows the client to bring in whatever color their heart desires.

We worked with Jennifer Laura Designs, a local event planner, who played a crucial part in putting all the pieces together. Hope you love this one as much as we did as we got to introduce some fun elements that we think turned out perfectly.

southern tablescape series: for the minimalist

June 18, 2019

What’s more timeless and versatile than an all white china? This is one of the easier china options to change the design aesthetic for hosting year around. Whether its a simple silver or gold monogram or fine line around the edge of the plate. We love this timeless look.

BE INSPIRED BY YOUR CHINA PIECES

This white china inspired this shoot to be entirely white for a chic minimal design. You can’t go wrong using this look anytime of the year. Don’t over think a monochromatic scheme. From here you can add decor, change the candles, or the floral colors to dramatically change the aesthetic. It is a blank canvas.

CHANGE UP THE LINENS

Just by adding two colors to this table scape it made such difference. Sometimes we aren’t sure what direction to go with our linen choices, but as you can see this simple blue monogram napkin adds a classic touch to this minimalistic design. Adding in a touch of blue to the arrangement was the finishing touch in this table scape.

BE BOLD WITH COLOR

Elegant all white china can literally pair with anything but what better way to be bold and make an impact with a bright spring mix atop a crisp white table scape? This can change your look from season to season or occasion. We’ll say it again, your flower color choices can change the entire aesthetic.

southern table scape series: mottahedeh tobacco leaf

Mottahedeh Tabacco Leaf China on a white Scalloped Charger. Design by Maxit Flower Design. Houston, Texas Floral and Event Production Firm — Mottahedeh Tabacco Leaf China on a white Scalloped Charger. Design by *Maxit Flower Design*. Houston, Texas Floral and Event Production Firm

This is personally one of our favorite classic china patterns. It is a perfect fit for every home or interior. This colorful pattern represents the joy, quality and style. Whether the interior is made in mid-century, industrial, modern or shabby chic style, the tobacco leaf pattern fits it all. Tobacco Leaf, one of the most prized of Chinese Export patterns, was developed circa 1780 and it is still a staple today.

This Mottahedeh print in versatile in many ways. There is such an array of colors to pull from. We chose the navy linen from the darkest blue in the print. The berry napkin from the beautiful tabacco flower in the center and finished it off with touches of gold. Changing each detail of your design when pairing with the Mottahehedeh print is so easy you can’t really go wrong. However you you choose to design your tablescape using the Tabacco Leaf print, you will surely wow your clients or guest with the amount of options there are available.

Our all white flower arrangement was inspired by the ability to take a timeless design and pair it with a modern and monochromatic look. While the pink flowers are seen in a more traditional glass compote that allows the timeless theme to be carried throughout. Because of our love for this print we had fun shooting these two looks in our studio.

BE INSPIRED BY YOUR CHINA PIECES

BE BOLD WITH COLOR

Pulling colors from your plate pattern allows for a wide range of options to choose from. This all pink arrangement makes for an entirely different look compared to an all white flower arrangement. Don’t be afraid of color when it comes to making decisions with your china.
