and to shower that person with reason,

that is the ultimate happiness. ~ Robert Brault

give me texture

decor has definitely come a long way... look around. various textures can be found in fabrics, paper, and now especially glass and ceramics. we love that today's texture is very unique and interesting in detail; it's not like yester years decor.

when we design an event, we look for elements that add amazing interest to any centerpiece, place or tablescape. take a look at these striking vases...

wonder what type of florals work for these vases? we'd suggest using dahlia, anemone or spider anastasia florals {pictured below}.

happy designing!

over the moon + stars

set the scene with the moon + stars at your next event! we think this is a charming idea for any photo back drop. it's enchanting, whimsical... and just plain fun. think of all the creative ways to bedazzle your photo backdrop... a huge red paper heart, a picture frame photo gallery cut-out backdrop...
