one wedding two installations

Yesterday we were lucky enough to be able to install two different small installations for one of our amazing 2015 brides.  I love installing flower arrangements! This gives us the opportunity to bring flowers to a venue and create the arrangement right on sight.  When enough time for setup is offered, I prefer going this route.

Of course we can not possibly create everything on site, but the photos bellow will show you two simple installations that I thought were very appropriate for the occasion.  The first one was a long garland.  I knew that the table size was still being decided and therefor I did not want to create something before hand and create something that was too big or too small for the table.  My intuition served me well.  The tables that were originally set did not work with the linens and needed to be switched  a couple hours before our event.  

And the last image was something a little less tricky but the vases were provided by the venue and they did not permit water to be added.  So the flowers needed to sit in water as long as possible until the event.  Everything worked out perfectly... take a look at what we created!

these flowers!

How gorgeous are these flowers! This weekend's bride has impeccable taste and we are bursting at the seems to see all this gorgeousness come to life.  After processing most of the flowers yesterday, I began to fall in love with these beauties.  The quality is just insane! We couldn't feel more lucky to have found some of the most amazing, hard working flower brokers in Houston.  They truly take care of us and I couldn't be more grateful for everything they do for us.

through their eyes

I got a little surprise posted on our Facebook page the other day. Kayla an awesome past bride of ours sent me this pic.  It's clearly not a professional one, but someone that was just admiring our work.  Which I have to admit I might love it that much more because someone wasn't paid to take it, but someone was just caught in the moment of enjoying  the flower and felt so inspired to capture them.  And after all... isn't that moment what it is ALL about? 

Thank you Kayla for taking a little time out of your day to share this with us.

new camera new pics

Today we had the pleasure of meeting with one of our spring brides for a quick meeting to show her a mock up for her wedding.  I love creating these as you see the client's face light up, their vision is coming to reality and you can tell that's one of the moments it hits them.  This bride is creating a very fun look with a variety of different element in an outdoor space.  Her colors are turquoise, blush gold and white.  

I must admit that there is a little bit of anxiety that comes with a mock-up, as this is the first time you are showing your work to your client.  You are showing that everything you've discussed has been understood.  There is a sense of vulnerability that only an artist can understand.  It's almost as if you are giving your first big speech in your High-School Speech class.  You've poured your heart out and now the pause... a little bit of silence... and then you wait for the critique.  

So... she loved them! Our mock-up was a success.

vendors are the key

Several weeks ago I got invited to attend an event where Mindy Weiss, event planner to the stars, would be speaking.  I truly enjoyed her and thought her experience and expertise was amazing to listen to and soak in.  One of the more important moments was when I heard her say adamantly that her vendors are her secret to success.  She has built bonds with them because of their quality of work, communication and capabilities to create unbelievable events.

Today we highlight one of those vendors that always makes that happen.  Christina at Pomp and Circumstance has shown a level of expertise that I have not seen too often.  She communicates more efficiently and consistently than anyone else I know.  She truly loves what she does and it shows.  She puts her client first, at all cost.  But never forgets and values her vendors and it shows. 

Event planners can't design your flowers, can't DJ, can't cook the food your guests will eat but what they can do is hear all of the client's desires and curate an event with the best vendors to make all that happen.  And then happen in a manner that would amaze.
