Cocktail TCU Fundraiser

There are those clients, that you just want to wrap up in your pocket and work for them always.  Well, Mary Katherine is one of those.  We did her son's highschool graduation party out in in the hillcountry last year and she called us to do another small event at her home a few months ago.  I came over to her house the day before the event (as we only had a few days notice...which for the creative can be invigorating to come up with florals on the fly) and was BLOWN away by the absolute perfection and beauty of her home.  It has been featured in a few national decor magazines like "Western Interiors" etc. Our arrangements turned out to be so in tune with her decor. She had a closet full of awesome vases and containers that we simply rumaged through, took back to the studio and designed with. She was able to keep all the designs and not have to go to the extra expense of really expensive containers (because she already had so many!)  We did a few arrangements on site and she gave us free reign of the grounds for cutting. Outside was this beautiful hillside of large olive trees that I was salivating over to use, and they made just the perfect touch to a large vase arrangement in her main living space.  This was just so much fun and to make a client so happy they give you great big hugs, let you tromp in their yard and go whisping around their house like you own the place.... is just an amazing client to have.  We are SO looking forward to working with this wonderful family again.  Below are some of the very amateur photos I had to take with my iphone. I forgot to charge the Canon's battery when I was onsite, but I wasn't leaving without a memento photo or two, or three....  However, they can give you a feel of the designs we went for.  Enjoy!
