veronica beard

October 2, 2019

We got a chance to work with Veronica Beard last week and was one of the highlights of the year. To see two women create a brand that supports and highlights other women is exactly who we want to work with. They are a modern women’s clothing brand that has a little bit of something for everyone.

We love their passion for color and texture and we tried to create florals that would marry those concepts. They asked us to create a floral installation for their entry of their new space and we thought it would be the perfect touch to their new entry way. We got together with our manufacturer and created a structure that would hold this 12’ x 12’ structure. We filled it with a dozen different varieties of faux flowers and greens to create this over flowing tree like structure.

If only it could smell as good as it looked! It took us 4 hrs of set up to make this bad boy come to life. With temperatures in the 90’s we got a good work out and sweat it out. It made it that much more relevant that we used faux flowers to make sure that they would last long enough to be enjoyed. Faux flowers are not our specialty but we enjoy working with them. They have their time and place and completely understand the value of them too. (Side note, they are NOT more affordable than real flowers. Quite the contrary. They are 2-4 times as expensive as the real ones)

We snagged these gorgeous images from our friends over at Harlow & May that were featured in the Houston Chronicle. Follow this link to read a little bit more about that article HERE.

We spend our slow season getting inspired and inspiring. It is crucial to our success to see how elements come together. We have to see how certain linens look with chairs and certain plates look with a mix of flowers. All these elements work together to create a cohesive event that our clients truly enjoy.

We are known for our classic look, but we can give you classic with a touch of modern and still create a beautiful event. It is our job to make sure that all elements are cohesive, but combining odd couplings is important too. I think this is when the magic happens.

For this particular table we wanted to create something pre-Fall. You know, the time between blazing hot Summer and Fall. Particularly in the South were Summer seams to drag on forever we love to create these events that help bridge the gap of the seasons.

We designed this with the help of Archive Rentals whom provided the awesome table top pieces and chairs.

just a little mood

September 9, 2019

The juxtaposition of the dark and moody dahlias against the light and airiness of the white and blush truly has us swooning. When we were creating this design we knew the french blue linen and blush taper candles needed a little edge and when we popped these gorgeous dahlias into the arrangement we knew we were onto something.

By combing the dark flatware against the french blue linen also provided an edginess we really enjoyed. This inspiration is for that person who loves the feel of light and airy but also loves that moodiness of a dark color palette. Everyone seems to think you have to do one or the other but here, we’ve proven you can have both.

I feel as if this Fall we will see more and more of this darkness and light contrast in weddings and events and we are here for it. We always love a client who is willing to think outside the box with still yet a timeless look.

holding on to every last bit of summer

Summer is coming to a technical end, but we all know too well that Summer lasts for at least another month for us in Houston. I got a chance to enjoy a fun vacation in Hawaii and this event truly captured all things that we felt while spending our time in a tropical paradise. Bright colors, fresh fruits and textures that represent those summery moments we all love.

We have been adding some unexpected elements to our table scapes as we are always on the hunt for something new. This time we added these floral frogs to hold one stem and give a little unexpected texture. And can we get a moment for the tulip ya’ll? That flower on the far right of this image is a tulip! It’s so fun to see it wide open and ready to be the best it can be.

We also have been experimenting with color and wanted to show you more of this. We have noticed that in the last couple years we were starting to get to be known as the white and green design team. And we needed to show you all this gorgeous colorful work we are doing to make sure we bring in those colorful clients too. We love color and hope you do too!

event design: where we truly shine

Many clients don’t know that we offer event design services on top of our normal floral design. We still focus our efforts on floral centric clients but add another service that truly pulls everything together.

We have found that clients have a hard time pulling their look together, from invitations, to room layout we take care of all the details that make it cohesive. Floral designers are always the ones that create the finishing touch be we found that our clients were asking us for a little bit more. We heard their needs and over the last 3 years we have been dedicating our selves to meeting those needs.

Our event design clients are ones that have a budget over $10,000 in florals and are looking to complete their look with our guidance. We currently source all our items through partners that we’ve created a close relationship with. From soft seating rentals, to custom hanging installations we believe that having this all under one companies supervision creates a cohesive elevated event, that we are best known for.

Here is one of the more recent clients that we helped with her event design. Meredith was such an easy client that wanted a modern, clean event with high impact. We met a couple times and each time she came with a vision that aligned perfectly with the path we created.

After our fist meeting, we sent over a comprehensive design board that allowed us both to use as a road map. If there were items she wanted to source herself she knew where to go back to for inspiration. This board developed through time as we both added and shifted where we wanted to be. As the vision became more refined the board is edited to make everything cohesive.

We allow our clients to be as involved or as hands off as they desire. We understand when family friends need to create something and have your event more personalized. But we also understand our busier clients that don’t have time or desire to be involved. We love it all and can make magic happen from every angle.
