19th century inspired

Nathalie & Justin on their wedding day in downtown Houston, TX Photographed by Ama by Aisha

Nathalie and Justin. From the moment we met this couple we knew their wedding would be something special. Their wedding flower process all began in our studio with their planner Sava Sipe of Two Be Wed. Their initial consultation was full of color and romance and we fell in love.

Nathalie and Justin’s had a vision and it was right around the time we were dreaming of the perfect colorful client to cross our paths and here they were - sitting across from us and allowing us the freedom to create something base upon their love for 19th century still life art. We were honored to have their trust in us to create the flower experience of there wedding dreams.

They wanted an abundance of color and fruit rich in textures and our team was excited to say the least. It was elegant and understand just as the Master’s of those 19th century art pieces intended it to be.

Nathalie and Justin both had a very specific desire for their guest experience at their wedding. Neither wanted the decor to be flashy and over the top but elevated and romantic with abundant candle lighting. They both wanted their guest to feel as if they were on a romantic date where they could converse over great food and people and we feel as if the entire design team conquered just that.

Custom floral installation for Belle Ame Bridal open house with Unveiled Bliss. Houston, TX Photographed by Fulleylove Photography.

This past summer we were asked by Belle Ame Bridal, a new wedding dress boutique in Houston, Texas to help decorate their Open House. The owners hosted a wedding expert panel for newly engaged couples giving them an opportunity to ask all those questions that we have while going through a new experience.

The ingenious idea was such a great way to reconnect with our market and see what can still confuse engaged couples. The masterminds behind this concept were the ladies at Unveiled Bliss. They planned and executed this event perfectly!

We created this arch for the space to help welcome guests in and be a place where everyone could take pics. As sort of interactive installation. We used colors that would make their brand colors pop and bright light into the space.

We created a custom arch to fit perfectly into the door and love how it turned out.

add that punch of color

It was an interesting series of events that led to these images. What was meant to be our first solo Open House , turned out to be man handled by tropical storm Imelda.

Our friends over at Spell Events and Centennial Gardens reached out asking us if we were interested in hosting an Open House at their gorgeous venue. They wanted to highlight the Celebration Garden as many do not get a chance to see the venue when tented. We hesitated as we normally do not do open houses but felt like this was the perfect partnership.

We started planning 6 months before the event by creating the design, floor plan, floral design and managing the overall aesthetic of the event. We put all out vendor friends together to make it all happen and felt so excited about the direction it was heading in. And then the bad news came, a tropical storm was heading our way. This is normal for Houston and nothing that we are not used to. BUT, the storm parked itself on top of Houston and it began to flood, BAD!

Mid way through set up we called it and decided to cancel the whole event. Tens of thousands of dollars down the drain. All the flowers purchased, man power, food from our catering vendors… EVERYTHING. It was a tough moment, but we were determined to make the best of it. After getting everything secured we ventured our way home through all the flooding (what normally would take 20 minutes through traffic, took us almost 3 hours to navigate the scary floods).

Our friends over at Centennial Gardens were kind enough to allow us to come back the next day to get some shots of a modified set up so that we could at very least get some images for our portfolio. But before we get to those, I have to mention some people that truly showed what they were all about and led with kindness every second of this mess:

Scott, at HTX Rentals, was so kind to let us keep the rentals in place just one more day so that we could shoot them and style them the way we wished.

Gretchen, at Centennial Gardens, was so gracious to allow us to come back and invade their space. She was so calm and kind through out all the madness and truly couldn’t have helped us more.

Kelsey, at Spell Events, lead the path to success. She was the perfect support staff for our team. She is the calming presence every event planner should be.

private residence wedding with keely thorne

This Sunday this lovely couple celebrates their one year anniversary. This is still one of the most memorable events from 2018. It was hosted by the Bride’s family in their gorgeous private home which allowed us to get really creative and produce something super original.

The client’s home had a gorgeous Italian like feel and we wanted to cary that through the event with lush florals and overflowing greenery. Because it was Fall the Bride also requested touches of berries, fruits and tones that would help set the tone.

veronica beard

We got a chance to work with Veronica Beard last week and was one of the highlights of the year. To see two women create a brand that supports and highlights other women is exactly who we want to work with. They are a modern women’s clothing brand that has a little bit of something for everyone.

We love their passion for color and texture and we tried to create florals that would marry those concepts. They asked us to create a floral installation for their entry of their new space and we thought it would be the perfect touch to their new entry way. We got together with our manufacturer and created a structure that would hold this 12’ x 12’ structure. We filled it with a dozen different varieties of faux flowers and greens to create this over flowing tree like structure.

If only it could smell as good as it looked! It took us 4 hrs of set up to make this bad boy come to life. With temperatures in the 90’s we got a good work out and sweat it out. It made it that much more relevant that we used faux flowers to make sure that they would last long enough to be enjoyed. Faux flowers are not our specialty but we enjoy working with them. They have their time and place and completely understand the value of them too. (Side note, they are NOT more affordable than real flowers. Quite the contrary. They are 2-4 times as expensive as the real ones)
