Baby Reese Inspiration

This past September 21st, 2020, Brett & Jen, close friends of ours, celebrated the arrival of their latest and newest family member: Reese H. She is this tiny piece of heaven that I can't wait to hold soon!

Despite not been able to be around them due to Covid-19 safety measures, I still wanted to let them know we were thinking of them and that we were happy to know everything went well. With that in mind, I designed this floral arrangement hoping it would please them all! Jen's great sense of Style translated into Pampas Grass, a Sweet touch of purpleish Mumps & Bunny tails for baby Reese, and the joy Carter and Brett are experiencing with the arrival of a new sister and daughter with Yellow Tulips and Purple Globe Amaranth.

If you are feeling like you want to do this at home, the recipe is:

6 Stems of Parvifolia Eucalyptys

2 Stems Curly Willow

1/3 Bunny tail bunch

5 Stems of Pampas Grass

7 Stems of Yellow Tulips

5 Stems of Purple/Pink Mumps

4 Stems of Purple Globe Amaranth

Have Fun and Enjoy creating this piece! I surely did!

Garden Style Arrangements

Blupeurum

If you are looking for practical Greenery Fall Inspiration, I would like to show you how simple it can be to transform the same basic Garden Style arrangement, into a Sunflower bouquet by only adding 3 Sunflowers.

Below you can appreciate a basic greenery arrangement made out of Parvifolia Eucalyptus, Solidago, Queen Ann's Lace and Blupeurum. In my opinion it looks great as it is! But...

If you are hosting some friends a few days later, and would like to make a little bit more out of the basic greenery arrangement you already have at home, don't be afraid and just get a few sunflowers at your closest grocery store and add them!

Within a week, the arrangement might start loosing its freshness so, what I usually do is get rid of the florals that are already dying ( because they tend to accelerate the rest of the flowers or greenery to die) and, break it down into smaller arrangements ex. mason jars to place them in other areas. Technically you will go back to only greenery, but, you will certainly make the most out of it and for a longer period of time.

Wedding Photo Booth

Photo Booth

No matter how much Photography coverage you have at your Special Event, is never going to be enough, specially at a Wedding. I don't think I have ever heard someone say; "Ugh, we got too many pictures from our Wedding!" Have you?

If you are thinking to incorporate some Wedding Activities so Guests can mingle and have some fun specially during outdoor events, besides having some game areas like Jenga, Corn Hole, Ring toss, etc. you must also consider adding a Photo Booth.

Photo Booths besides encouraging Guests to help Document your Wedding or Special Event, also help bring young and old generations together. So, if you are curious on what type of photo booth might work best for your event, Let us know you need help and we can either recommend you ideas or simply get you what you are looking for once you set a Budget. That's what also makes it budget friendly!

The Photo Both below was put together for F. Pilar + Jeff G. Rustic Summer Backyard Wedding, while taking advantage of their backyard Guest House Pergola. The Pergola already had string lights and a beautiful Star Jazmine vine, so it required less elements to make it a Photo Booth. This is why is so helpful to visit the area where the event will take place, it gives us the opportunity to grow the space you have so it is all part of the wedding, vs. being in this case, just a pergola alone.

For this occasion, we hanged four floating picture frames to have people stand behind them and frame their faces, and also hanged six Mason jar Flower arrangements with green hanging Amaranthus, Baby's breath, peach spray roses, soft pink mini Carnations, faux succulents and seaded eucalyptus to tie it all together. Yet simple but Special!
