Spring at Lakeway Resort and Spa

I finally remembered to bring my camera on a wedding setup--just a pop of springtime color at

The Vistas Ballroom.

A super fun and colorful cake-- the greatest compliment from a client is a referral, in this case a second daughter.

One of their fun traditions- the wedding cake is a surprise,selected and designed by their dad and other sister!

I am sure she was happy!

And yes, this is cake--all of it except the heineken bottles!

Loved it.

RIP young Daniel

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers--

Pink in the spring!

Browsing some photos from last summer and remembered how much I loved the look of green and fuschia.

Thanks to Vanessa at Photography by Vanessa for the images.

Cricket...crickets.....

Sorry for the blog silence--our wedding season is in full swing!

Must remember to take my camera out of the bag--we've been so busy creating that I forget to snap a few photos!

Green plus purple= popular

Green flowers have their own personality--sometimes classic and elegant, sometimes whimsy and funky--overall we love all green flowers!

And then there are the shades of purple-- we are definitely feeling purple love! Even one of our brokers mentioned our new found love for all purple flowers!

Simple and strategic!

Floral frame

I had a blast collaborating with the bride and groom to come up with this floral frame featuring more than 1000 coral carnations.

They had hoped for a wall of flowers- the ceremony was originally planned for outdoors so I couldn't engineer a completed wall of flowers that would be freestanding and work within the budget- so we built a frame with the soft fabric.

We finished it with the petals along the bottom--this was beautiful in this room, but I think it would have been awesome in the outdoor area:( The weather did not permit the outdoor ceremony. I can't wait to see some pro images from this event!

Glass Oaks Ballroom, Renaissance Hotel

This ballroom is a recent addition to our wedding venues-it is the Glass Oaks Ballroom at

The Renaissance Hotel near the Arboretum. They have been hosting weddings about 2years now.

It has a very modern feel to it, especially with the hammered copper ceiling.

We complemented the interior decor with the gold pilsners filled with flowers in shades of orange/coral and yellow.

The bride chose dark brown linens to complement the yellow, orange and coral.

We built a very unique ceremony backdrop for this couple!

I'll post later today!

Pink peonies in February

We were lucky enough to get these beautiful pink peonies in February, we complemented the bridesmaids platinum gowns with these light pink roses.

A few details--favors, memorial candle, centerpiece and corsage!
