"What's on your table?"

Yes...yes it's true...

florists always have flowers in their houses...or atleast this

floral designer does. Usually they are simple, even just one stem

that's about "to go" in the next few days and we enjoy just

that one moment of beauty it still has to offer.

Here's what's on my table right now. So pretty ....you really can't go

wrong with green and white. As I look in the picture, my house looks

like a jungle with greenery everywhere. I guess certain

days out of the year that is very true.

Enjoy!

Flowers used: Viburnum, hydrangea, buplerum, green roses, and

ornitalgum placed into a painted box.

Ah Naturale

Eclectic Natural

Here is a guestbook table arrangement that

used...... things found, things from our garden,

containers we hand made and

things from abroad.

This collective wedding was stunning and just what the couple ordered.

Enjoy!

Love in The Afternoon

Ehrin & Oliver

Their first names say it all...

The elegance they portrayed in our professional relationship during the

design process held true to the day of the wedding.

We came up with a classic and elegant

Sunday wedding at The Driskill. Using white and green tones for the brunch

hour proved to be the best fit for their style. I loved the square hydrangea

wreath I designed for over the mantle...and the really, really simple look of the

callas in a tall vase emits effortless elegance. Thanks for having us be a special part of your day!

Enjoy!

Peaches and Cream a lovely team....

{ Gina & Will }

I cannot thank Gina, a fellow wedding crusader, enough for instilling her

trust in Last Petal to make her wedding a delight! A "Peach Delight" it t'was!

I had SO much fun focusing the decor around this almighty summer fruit..

and on July 4th to boot!

I enjoyed adding special touches with our collected antiques,

courtesy of my parent's "barn". These made the details

to this event really stand out and shine.

Good luck, my favorite caterer, on your new adventures and we will miss

you here in Texas!

Enjoy!
