early fall inspired editorial

Styled invitation suite. Courtney Leigh Photography, Jade Magnolia Creative, Maxit Flower Design

A couple of months ago we got together with some of our favorite industry creatives and had a fun day of shooting some fall inspired vignettes. Even though the weather is still warm in Texas, we want our brides to be inspired by the beautiful, rich tones of the fall season. We definitely are! The styled shoot was held at one of North Houston’s newest venues, Arrowhead Hill. We incorporated several different textures, metals, blooms, velvet linens, and seasonal fruits to achieve our vision for our fall tablescape. Our team truly enjoyed being creative partners on the design of this project.

Kick back, relax, grab yourself your favorite fall beverage and stay awhile. We hope you enjoy the images from the shoot as much as we do!

summer wedding color palette

It’s finally beginning to feel like Fall here in Houston; and I couldn’t be more excited to wear a cozy sweater and indulge my pumpkin spice latte cravings. Even though our fall wedding season is in full swing, I still find myself reminiscing and reflecting on our events from this past summer. While I can’t wait to share the fun and beautiful moments from our October weddings, Mollie and Justin’s wedding at The Houstonian Hotel is a lovely reminder of the ever-changing beauty that each season holds. Keep scrolling to relive the magic of their intimate celebration with us!

luxury floral installations: guaranteed to elevate your wedding experience

This wedding really brought the “WOW” factor. Our team had a blast producing the floral design for Christian and Lung’s wedding that was held at the Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa this past February. It’s so exciting when our clients approach us with a grande vision for their wedding; and it’s truly a special moment when we see that vision come to life once setup is complete on their wedding day.

We absolutely love to use flowers to transform spaces. It’s our specialty! Our bride wanted the feel of an outdoor wedding.  The floral installation we created for Christian and Lung’s wedding made a huge impact on the look and feel of their ceremony and reception. We used a variety of blooms and textures to create our designs such as white ohara roses, white hydrangea, garden roses, blush clooney roses, ranunculus, lemon leaf, eucalyptus, sweet peas, and hellebores.

2020: the year of micro weddings

Our wedding season is beginning to pick back up, and we couldn’t be more thankful. 

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of providing the floral design for a wedding held at the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Houston. Our team had a blast designing and executing the vision that Beth Ann and Virgil had in mind for their special day. We love the punchiness and vibrancy of the pink florals that our bride requested for her garden-style bridal bouquet as well as the floral arch that served as a beautiful backdrop for their wedding ceremony.

Additionally, we provided pedestal arrangements that lined the ceremony aisle as well as greenery with flowers on the staircase to help guide guests upstairs to the second floor where the festivities took place. Each of these elements combined made a huge impact on the look and feel of their ceremony and reception.

The venue has a special place in the hearts of our clients, Beth Ann and Virgil. They are both active volunteers and serve as mentors, or “Bigs,” within the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. Beth Ann and Virgil currently mentor a young boy named Kelvin. For the past two years, they have had the pleasure of getting to know Kelvin and his mother, whom they now consider a part of their family. Kelvin took part in Beth Ann and Virgil’s wedding and participated as the official ring bearer during the ceremony, which made it all the more special for our bride and groom.

southern table scape series: blue and white china

After receiving china, whether it be passed down from a family member or gifted from your wedding registry - we tend to continually set the table the same way over and over again. It’s easy, you already have the design memorized and everything needed. However in this Southern Table Scape Series we want to show you ways to simply change a few minor details for a completely different look.

Navy taper candles were the focal point in this design. Peach florals, white chargers and white linens give it a clean look. Flowers and table styling by Maxit Flower Design

be inspired by your china pieces

Use your china pieces as the inspiration for your details. This plate’s navy color is repeated in the candles and the blue touches in the floral arrangements. We pulled from the white of the blue and white and layered it with the linen and charger. Don’t over think it, repeat colors makes it easy, timeless and beautiful.

change up the linens

Whether it be in the table linens or the napkins, changing the color and texture of those details can make an impactful difference. For the look bellow, we went for a monochromatic route with the china and linens. Sometimes we are afraid to add a bold linen, but as you can see this blue on blue is so fun and different and truly highlights all the shades of blue in the china.

be bold with color

You can never go wrong with taper candles. Whether it be a more casual place setting or special occasion taper candles add another level of detail to your table setting that can really pull out fun details in your china. This is an easy color detail to continuously change.

update the flowers

And our absolute favorite, getting creative with your flower color options. This is the easiest way to drastically change your table scape, from season to season or occasion. Your flower color choices can change the entire aesthetic.

Committing to another linen, napkin, or charger might not be in the immediate list of to-do’s. Instead, order some flowers for the special dinner in a different color palette that you are used to and watch it quickly transforms a space.

walking into the unknown: designing events with intention

The bride asked for a simple and classic design. We incorporated scented garden roses with roses and touches of jasmine vine for that delicate touch or greenery. Calligraphy by Jenny @ A Fine Flourish

Copying what we have done in our daily lives works well for most things. I tend not to reinvent how I take a shower, make my bed or brush my teeth. As we have created efficient methods that have become routine.

Designing weddings and events can fall into the same patterns. I have been guilty of this, as it also can help with efficiency and ease. And shall I say that it allows clients to feel comfortable that we are not taking risks with their special event.

On the other hand, bringing in a couple elements that might have never been introduced before can not only make your client feel special, but create intention with design. New design elements reminds us that each one of our clients is unique and that all our designs have them at the forefront of creation.

To our future clients, allow us to take some risks and meld that into what you feel comfortable with. The combination of both allows for the most beautiful events we have ever created.
