Thanks, Jen!

.
Remember back in the day when I shared these florals and didn't want to spill the beans on the rest of the mock-up table I did for my client's Thanksgiving table? Seems like only 2 weeks ago...



Well, Jen said to feel free to share with everyone as her guests didn't read my blog. Remind me to have words with her about that after the holiday is over.

In the meantime, here are a few photos that I sent Jen for approval. Jen wanted a mix of elegant and candles with a rustic twist. I think this fits the bill. (P.S. She loves. Yay!)



Keep in mind this was a mock-up so thing like trimming the burlap on the chairs, adding more leaves and such will be fine tuned in real life. Also, my husband likes to note than Jen's table will be wider than this and there will be additional glasses, etc.

Jen's family has sent in something for which they are thankful and I will incorporate those into the rust colored placecards on each plate. I did a quickie mock-up for a sample on the one plate you see here. (click photos to view larger)



Lastly, a few extra close-ups of some touches. A leaf hole punch was used on some autumn colored paisley scrapbook paper and will be affixed to the placecards, silverware bundles and bottom of the wine glasses.



Those are the highlights. I hope that gives you some ideas for your Thanksgiving table and that you have a wonderful holiday with your loved ones.

Cheers,
Amy

Is anyone else drooling over the new TLC series, "Flowers Uncut" with Jeff Leatham?



If you're like me and think that flowers can truly make an entire event or at the very least take it to another level, this show is a must add to your DVR list.

And, while most people can't completely recreate what Jeff does to the tune of thousands of dollars, you can certainly find some fabulous inspiration for your next event!

First of all, I LOVE double duty decor and favors. You have a million things to do when throwing a party, so why not multi-task where you can, right? Case in point, favor cakes and unique favor boxes from Wedding Olala. Favors = Decor = Yaaaaaaay. (Don't be intimidated by my math skills.)

Don't let the word "wedding" fool you though. The favor cakes and favor boxes from Wedding Olala can be used for almost any occasion.

Throwing a shower and want an alternative to the diaper cake centerpiece? Need a new idea for favors for your birthday celebration? Like the option of having it all done for you or doing some of it yourself? If your answer to any of these is "yes" then click on over to Wedding Olala's site and check out all of your options!

Flowers make things more festive. What more can I say?

A lot. I can say a lot. Ask my friends. What I will say though is that few things bring me as much joy as creating new floral designs. Below are just a few. Enjoy!
