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!

Our bride requested premium blooms with accenting greenery. Some of her favorites are Juliette garden roses, coral and white ranunculus, hydrangea, and peach ball dahlias. Our team completed the design with dusty blue taper candles and specialty linens from La Tavola Fine Linen.

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.

when the trees bloom

We felt trusted and honored by this sweet family.  The Hinds & Nguyen families were some of the most gracious, fun loving clients we have had.  They trusted our process and let us run with their vision.  We designed and styled their wedding to be a true reflection of who they are.  Fun, romantic, kind, and ethereal.

We helped welcome the guest in with a gorgeous calligraphy sign with a light floral garland.  Meredith loved eucalyptus and one of our favorite garlands to make are made out of eucalyptus.  The movement we get from those garlands create a look like no other.  Once the guests turned the corner they continued to see gorgeous flowers styled through out.  

We used our collection of handmade ivory ceramic compotes to create garden style arrangement that complimented the aesthetics of the space and the client.  These two things (the client and the space) are some of the most important factors that we take into consideration for our design. And we truly believe when our clients have these things at the forefront of their vision, we all create some of the more spectacular events.

Gorgeous details of this arch taken by the super talented Hannah Mason Photography.  You guys, she is brilliant! Smilax vine was at it's prime season and we wanted to make sure we showcased that gorgeous vine at the altar.  Even though the ceremony was short, we try our best to make this a place that is sweet, and well thought out.  

Taking advantage of the gorgeous venue, Chandelier Grove's, natural beauty we went with fabric to help decorate the arch.  Styling this gorgeous wood arch with a combination of flowers, greens and fabric truly pulled together everything that was then going to be showcased at the reception.  We know this space so well and truly love decorating outdoor spaces.  The movement that we get from the wind is just so beautiful.

Can we pause here for a moment.  Hannah captures these types of moments perfectly.  The moments of those glances that we all want to last a lifetime. WOW!

This urn is one of my favorite pieces we cary. I have been searching for more that resemble this one for a while now with out any luck.  It can truly be styled with such a huge variety of colors and flowers and has always been a client favorite... and we totally know why.  Readers, if you know where I can find another... shot me an email.

We were asked for the first time to create a flower girl wand.  Because every young girl should live out her flower girl fantasies. How stinking adorable is this! 

Special thanks to Jennifer Lowrance of Jlow Events.  You guys she is such a gem. And Stacey at Chandelier Grove, someone so passionate and loving to open a space as gorgeous as hers.

amongst the events

We at Maxit Flower Design are known for our wedding flowers and event flowers, but on occasion we collaborate with other creatives to build our stock images and social media goodies. A couple months ago we collaborated with the very talented Hibiscus Linens to help her with such images.  Her amazing photographer caught her products and our florals just spectacularly.  

These crisp, clean images are something to definitely swoon over and I couldn't be more excited to finally share these! 

private design session

We couldn't be more excited than to have been contacted to create a day full of design and photography.  Julia, a bubbly, sweet and very talented business owner from Brazil, reached out to us to give her some secrets of the trade. She was looking to extend her knowledge base and learn a more garden based technique that is so very popular these days and proudly, Maxit Flower Design's signature design.  

So off we went, spending the whole day reviewing techniques on boutonnieres, corsages, bouquets, centerpieces and much more.  We took a break for lunch and had Kendall Hannah met us to style and photograph our work from the day.  Bellow are some of the amazing pics she captured.  After the full day of designing, I knew this was exactly what we needed to capture the day.  A super talented photographer to capture it all.  

We are even more excited to add this to the services we offer.  Please shoot us an email if you are interested in learning more about our one-on-one sessions.
