Maxit Flower Design for flower Magazine, Fall Inspiration DIY Arrangement

Every year my amazing mother encourages me to creating a top 5 list of the most desired accomplishments of the year.  This has dramatically changed my views on my life and to see my goals come true has been amazing if not a little scary.  It's beautiful to see how much power we have to making decision that make things happen.

“If you have a goal, write it down. If you do not write it down, you do not have a goal - you have a wish.” 
― Steve MaraboliUnapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

One of those goals that was written in January of this year was to get featured on flower magazine.  That goal came to fruition this weekend! Eek! Being recognized by a magazine that highlights some of my favorite floral designers has been a dream come true.  Thank you so much flower magazine for the opportunity. Go HERE for the original article and to read more goodies from this issue and so many others from the previous issues.

Here are some pics I snagged from the article, photographed by insanely talented Julie Sofer and to give further credit, the article was produced by the amazing Abby Braswell.

My Inspiration for this design was Houston’s urban, concrete jungle—also known as Central Market. The lush, colorful selection in the produce aisle can be a game changer for a floral designer. Everything from squash to the highly textured kale can be a unique element in an arrangement. Scents really guide me as well. One of my personal secrets is to add herbs to an arrangement for not only the play of colors and textures, but also the intoxicating aromas, which will make others fall in love with the design.

These love birds were just the sweetest couple.  They were clear with there desires to have a fun, daytime wedding and flowers that exemplified their modern style.  Christina from Pomp & Circumstance did an amazing job putting together a team to create a wedding that was just perfect for the couple.  Take a look what the talented Kimberly Chau captured:

now that it's been posted

We are so excited to finally be able to share these pics!!

When all of the creative talent gets together and create photo shoots it's like a movie set.  There's lots of hard work that goes into it all throughout some months prior and then some months after.  Once the shoot takes place and the creative madness wraps up, the shoot gets published roughly three months later.  What happens between those three months? Waiting, lot's of waiting, and occasional review of the photos with a hint of self criticism to note what could have done better for next time.  

One of the more amazing parts of the shoots, you get to review your own work, learn from the mistakes and improve on all aspects to make the next one that much better.  This shoot was not one of those.  Jennifer from Jennifer Laura Designs did a great job putting all the details together and creating a beautiful shoot.  Take a look...
