Floral with Flash

Posted by tinfante on August 23, 2010 • No Comments

As you know, incorporating floral into an event can get costly very quickly. The key is selecting flowers with lots of dazzle that are easy on the pocket book or get you more for your money. A few to consider are: · Calla Lilies , though not the least expensive. These elegant and modern beauties have a long “shelf life” and can be reused all week for a multi-day program. They also are statement making, so just a few bundles in varying heights is all you need. · Hydrangea...

I had dinner at this AWESOME fun little restaurant that has only been around for 9 months. It is called Maple and Motor - Burgers & Beer and is located on Maple and Medical District Drive.

Party Colors for Spring

Sure, its only the middle of January, but we’ve got spring on the brain! We’re excited about pretty new palates for next season!

This spring, we’re loving a mix of charcoal grey (instead of black or brown), buttercup yellow (instead of gold or orange) and coral (instead of red or cranberry).
