Over Your Head

From the entry hall and gift table, to the dining room and the cake display, there are so many surfaces to consider when deciding on flowers and decor. What so many brides seem to overlook is what’s over head. With a little imagination, the ceiling can go from blank slate to WOW factor.

What’s in a name?

You’ve slaved over the dreaded seating chart for weeks, now how do you tell your guests where they’ll be sitting for the evening? From hanging from olive trees or manzanita branches, to pinning the cards to vintage frames, there are a silly number of options to make an impact. Keep your theme or venue in mind, and you won’t go wrong.

Not Just A Number

I love it when my clients personalize their tables with names of things that are meaningful to them, whether it be places they’ve traveled, songs they love, or even just things that speak to the theme itself. However, if you’re having a large wedding, coming up with 20 names may be a tad challenging. The good thing is that there are so many ways to do the traditional numbers, yet still add a personal touch.
