Moody Jewel Tone Wedding at The Houdini Estate

September 16th, 2019

Jaclyn & Andrew were the absolute dream clients- AND the flowers…
Holy hell!

I’m still in awe and I designed ’em!
Nature is magic.

Let’s talk about this arch. All the flowers. All the colors. All the texture.
AND just a little edge, right?

Important planning tip: Always, always, go for the statement, rather than trying to spread the flowers (and dollars) everywhere.

Originally J&A had opted for a few smaller pieces (aisle markers, smaller pieces around the reception, that sort of thing) BUT this arch was important to Jaclyn, and at our design meeting, we rearranged the proposal a bit to make it a priority.

WORTH IT.

It was such a joy to create this beautiful bouquet for Jaclyn, full of peonies, roses, ranunculus, dahlias, and that gorgeous moody guava greenery.

DARK & DREAMY FLORAL DESIGN AT CITY CLUB

October 29th, 2018

Halloween tablescape featuring dark and textural flowers, black tapers, and red and black goblets.
 
It was so much fun to collaborate with Anything But Gray Events on this dark & dreamy tablescape at City Club.

I loved playing with rich colors and lots of texture to create these elegant + elevated gothic pieces and would love, love, love to do something similar for a chic halloween shindig next year!
 
Halloween tablescape featuring dark florals, black tapers, and curious oddities.
 
Fun fact: We scored the black goblets that the arrangements are in on our honeymoon (Hello Madonna Inn!) and lots of the other oddities on the table are from my personal collection.

That’s a fancy way of saying house, y’all. They’re from my house. 🙂
 
Taxidermy fox and dark forest florals.
 
Including my fabulous wedding fox. aka. my wedding gift from Gavin.
I got him a Sgian Dubh in case you’re curious!

Marta & Matt’s Enchanted Forest Wedding

October 24th, 2016

A year ago today I had the honor of designing Marta & Matt’s Art Deco meets Enchanted Forest wedding at Cicada Club in DTLA.

At our very first meeting we spoke extensively about the way Marta & Matt wanted their wedding to feel, and our design grew organically from there. They didn’t want another everythingartdeco wedding, but rather a celebration of their unique (and nerdy!) interests in an atmosphere of enchantment and fun. With manzanita trees, mossy vignettes, lanterns, fairy lights, and even a scavenger hunt, I think we nailed the magic. And the fun. And most importantly, we created an event that felt like authentically like them.

I loved creating this memorial tree, placed on the center of the escort card table, to honor those family members who couldn’t celebrate with Marta & Matt.

And speaking of the escort card table, we assigned every guest their own tiny lantern to guide them to their seat for dinner!

Matt wanted the head table to have it’s own number, and naturally he wanted that number to be zero. Done and done.
