Let's Hear It for the Boys!

We thought a blog featuring the guys might be appropriate, since we talk a lot about the girls around here! :) Here are some shots of the boys and their flowers. Guys at weddings are so cute!!

Shipping Container Retreat!

My dream one day is to have a really cool home office that is detached from the main house and is in a beautiful backyard. I saw this idea posted a while back on {Dwell.com} and then later on {Apartment Therapy}. I love it! This specific shipping container was turned into a backyard retreat/guest house - so cool! Texas architect, Jim Poteet, was able to find an empty steel shipping container and transform it into this wonderful room for visitors! Measuring 8ft x 40ft, a portion of it was kept as a garden shed and the rest was the living space. Floor to ceiling glass doors and windows, heating and air conditioning, a green roof, bamboo flooring and wall covering were all added, as well as small sink, shower, and a composting toilet. The whole structure was placed on a base made from recycled telephone poles.

Bling, Sparkle & Disco Balls!

This event was for the celebration of Katie & Todd's wedding. Both the ceremony and reception were held at Ameristar Casino. The bride's shoes were the inspiration for the bling, mirrored vases and disco balls that were used at the reception. We enjoyed working closely with Lacy Branch Events on this wedding.

A special thanks to Lace for these amazing images!

Best wishes to Katie and Todd!! Thanks for letting us be a part of your day!

Tulips and Looped Grass

This fun piece was for a grand opening. We filled a large cylinder vase with willow branches and orange tulips and attached some tulips up in the branches. We tied grass loops all throughout for a very contemporary feel. This arrangement had a presence made a statement!!

Love Story of Amina & Phillip

It was a joy working with such a charismatic couple in love! Amina and Phillip were married Oct. 23 at Christ Church Cathedral and celebrated with a reception at the Four Seasons. We worked closely with Lacy Branch Events who coordinated the design for the day. These phenomenal shots of the event are by Bobbi Brinkman Photography.

At the reception, we decorated with three different arrangements for the guest tables-one submerged with orchids and floating candles, one sort and lush arrangement with hanging amaranthus, one tall with orchids and hanging crystals.

Heartfelt wishes to Amina and Phillip for a life full of happiness together!

Cupcake Topping Bar via {Green Wedding Shoes}

One of my favorite blogs, {Green Wedding Shoes}, posted an awesome idea! A cupcake topping bar! I have seen ice cream/frozen yogurt bars and cupcakes have become such a hit lately that I think this is a great twist on that to make it unique. Nicely done {Enjoy Cupcakes}! Check out all of their impressive 129 flavors!

Bright Ribbon Band

This arrangement is shown in our design studio. We love the ribbon detail and the wild look of the curly willow. It's a great example of using non-flower elements to bring color into an arrangement.
