Summer Wedding in Coral, Aqua & lemon

Really Fun ,Vibrant and young for a great college couple.
the girls wore coral & the boys had on butter cream, shirts
& aqua blue ties. We mixed up the linens and created matching
colored fresh floral arrangements. We white washed the clay pots
to pull in the vintage feel but still keep it playful. 
This was a great event to create.

Festoon on the entry gate...So fun

Planting Succulents...Great water wise varieties.

  At our Design Studio we have created a living wall.
It is made of a bamboo frame, Coco fiber and
wire. It gets water about once a week if it is warm
but most of the time it is Biweekly. There are so
many varieties available and the textures and colors
make it really fun for you to work with. Many times
we will use them in event work.  

Add a vase and polished black river rock and look how great
the entry looks...

Sunflowers and the joy they bring...

 We love Sunflowers. If you watch them in the fields 
you will see there faces follow the sun. It is one
of natures wonders. Because of the varieties
of yellows and there sizes you can create large
pieces or small. Here are a few for ideas.

Submerged & picked Lemons and green Dianthus are a great accent

Lime Dracena leaf wrapped inside the vase. A great simple cocktail piece

Wedding in lavenders

This large Wedding was set up in a ballroom. The Bride had wanted a garden wedding but they had over three hundred guests so the venue had to be able to accommodate that many people. 
   We decided to create pieces that had a garden feeling in shades of purples and lavenders ...

Weaving  curly willow and blooming branches created a natural nest
for the flowers to be woven through. Freesia, Lilac and Hyacinth gave the centerpieces a wonderful scent.

Beach theme on a budget...

  Lets face it...some have a harder time of coming up with financing
for there Big day than others. There are some great ways of creating fun and interesting looks. Sand is very inexpensive and can go a long way. for an interesting visual if you split your table count and layer some in a clear 
glass vase with sea shells and candles.

We used a tall vase with willow and ti leaves woven inside
shells on the bottom and lily grass on top 

  Then do the other half of the tables with glass, shells and maybe
white Hydrangea ( which is a reasonably inexpensive flower).
You get a look of beach sophistication without the budget buster. 
Or another option pictured below.

Assorted Succulents in a glass bowl of river rock, scattered gems and tumbles glass around it. Simple and really beautiful.

Caring for Phalenopsis Orchids

  Phala Orchids are very easy to take care of. They like filtered

light and air movement. Direct sunlight will burn the leaves and

destroy the blooms. When you get the Orchid most of the time

they will have been soaked. The roots are wrapped in moss which extends the moisture around them. If the moss feels very moist 

wait at least two weeks and once a week put a ice cube on

the moss at the top of the plant. 

   Most people over love them and this can create root rot.

After they have done blooming, move them to your bathroom 

or a warm covered patio. Don't cut of the stem. It usually takes

about six months for the plant to re bloom. Orchids symbolize

 Beauty, love and strength. They are the perfect gift. Enjoy...

Nature and whimsy inspired Weddings

  Looking in Bridal and Event Magazines or on the Web.
There is so whimsy and some great ideas. Natural
unstructured deigns are all the rage. You can't help
but see the beauty in there simplicity. As Designers 
we know simplicity can sometimes be the most time
consuming of all.
