sometimes we don't meet the bride

August 24, 2019

Can you have that much trust for your mom, event planner and floral/event designer to not meet with them to plan your wedding? I am not 100% sure if I fall into this category. I can give trust, but this bride gave more than her fare share, and I was left so impressed. From our end of things, it truly makes up step up to the plate as you know she was always setting up for success. Leaving the professionals to do what they love and what they do best.

Who could ask for more?

They got married in The Forrest Club, an old Houston club that has gone through some refreshing updates. Their outdoor space is so under utilized for a ceremony that is was nice to try this out for a change.

pink and yellow: soft summer blend

July 29, 2019

One of my all time favorite color combinations for a Spring/Summer event is this light blush and buttery tones. It allows you to bring color into a space with out dominating it with an overwhelming bright color palette. This is soothing and can be used for a variety of different events.

Bridal shower, birthday, 40th celebration the options are endless with these color tones. We added some fun textures with a large variety of flowers and with a touch of skeleton leafs that truly made it pop. We used garden roses, ranunculus, alstroemeria, viburnum, spray roses, and anthuriums.

We called in our good friend Kelly Durham to photograph it and here it is, this gorgeous arrangement in all it’s beauty.

rice university wedding

July 23, 2019

The images speak for themselves, the couple wanted an easy, clean, yet thoughtful wedding. The details came together to create such a unique timeless event. With concrete vessels and acrylic table numbers the clean lines fit so perfectly in their venue.

Did you know Rive University has an event and wedding venue with their very own chapel? You guys have to check it out! It is one of the event industry’s hidden gems and one of my all time favorite spots. As Rice University as your backdrop you can’t go wrong.

The chapel holds less than 100 people and creates a super intimate vibe that allows the couple to fully focus on themselves and the importance of the day. Roughly a block away guests can proceed to the reception with no fuss. The Cohen house is just a skip and a jump away and invites guests in with a gorgeous view of their gardens.

With large windows and room for roughly 200 the space is perfect for the low key couple. Enough room for a small dance floor and lighting that comes through those windows that people travel all around the world to find, this venue is a hidden gem that we love.

We were so excited when this bride wanted to explore a punch of yellow in her color palette as it is not a frequently requested color palette. But we LOVE it! Soft blushes with a buttery yellow create such a gorgeous garden style that we are very well known for. We hope you love this wedding as much as we did.

the corinthian: modern luxe greens

July 10, 2019

This Corinthian wedding was one for the books. From the understated luxurious elegance of the bride and groom to their fun easy going personality, we would gladly do their wedding over again and again. The brides love of cleans lines and gave us a lot to be creative with.

Michelle and Soo had recently moved to Atlanta to pursue a budding real estate career, but their heart was still in Houston. Most of their family lived here and when they found The Corinthian they new they minds were set on getting married back home.

We met them once and we knew they were the perfect match. Their love for timeless beauty and classic elements and their vision for elevated simplicity was right up our alley. We headed on the design for this event making sure that every rental piece matched their aesthetic. We worked with our local favorites HTX Rentals to create this modern, crisp look.

The tulip tables, acrylic chairs, velvet linens and amazing acrylic head table truly made the room look amazing. We added the floral touches that were mostly greens to accomplish a garden style that was seamless to the overall modern aesthetic. We also wanted to show how these two looks truly look amazing and timeless and believe we accomplished it.

We worked with Kelsey of Spell Events, a local event planner, to create this indoor modern garden wedding and could not be more thrilled with how everything came together.

centennial garden wedding: the oasis in the city

June 20, 2019

Do you know of this gorgeous venue? It is one of our favorites.

This oasis in the city is one of our all time favorite spaces. It has the versatility of a clean space without too much fuss, all in the middle of an urban garden. It has the best of both worlds and allows for our creativity to get to work. With a neutral color palette the space also allows the client to bring in whatever color their heart desires.

We worked with Jennifer Laura Designs, a local event planner, who played a crucial part in putting all the pieces together. Hope you love this one as much as we did as we got to introduce some fun elements that we think turned out perfectly.
