We all want our person to look at us the way he looks at her, am I right? π₯Ή π got me feeling all the feelings today from this shoot!
When you think disco ball, you likely associate it with that glorious disco era of the 70s. You may be surprised to discover that what we know today as the "mirror ball" dates much farther back than bell bottom jeans and Saturday Night Fever.
It was actually 1897, where we see first mentions of the mirror ball. Yes, 1897!!
An electricans union gathered for their annual ball. They intended to cast light that "could be seen all over Boston." In order to accomplish this, they set off to develop incandescent lamps and a carbon arc that reflected off what they referred to as a mirror ballΒ in a publication of 'The Electrical Worker', where they discusses the groupβs event and their most notable decorations!
In 1917, the first patent was filed by Louis Bernard Woeste. Louis went into production, where they sold at Stephens and Woeste throughout the 1920s. It was short lived however due to the Great Depression where Stephens and Woeste inevitably stopped production of the mirror ball. It wasn't until 1940 before the design was picked up by "Omega National Products," where the demand skyrocketed!
Omega continues to produce mirror balls for high-profile clientele, such as BeyoncΓ© and Madonna, as well as hit television shows like βDancing With the Starsβ and even the Oscars!!
Fast forward to the present day, we see them incorporated in a variety of ways: Shimmering above a dance floor, scattered down the head table, nestled in floral arrangements, or hanging in our windows at home.
It's an effective way to liven up any space! πͺ©

What an incredible weekend! We have quite an extensive tear down ahead of us this morning!
If you are any of the many people waiting for us to get back to you, we will have replies to you this evening!
As always, thank you for your patience ππ€
This weekend we transformed The Membertou Trade Centre into a snowy escape for the 2024 United Way Gala!
I could have not made it through this weekend without the girls! They were rock stars! They are an absolute force and an integral part of making this all happen.
We hope everyone has a great time and raises lots and lots of money for an important cause!
Florals by She knocks it out of the park every time! βοΈπ€
We've got a busy weekend for our team, and we can't wait to share the magic with you!
If you are waiting for a message back from us, we will be in touch on Monday π€
Have a safe and happy weekend!
Quickest way to add some color to basic white pedestals? Peel and stick paper!! We took these from crisp white to a gorgeous Mediterranean inspired- tiled masterpiece!
This years trend is all about stepping outside of the box! Adding lots of color and pattern. A maximalist dream, perhaps? π
Either way, get ready! We got some things comin'!
Cheers to the freakin' weekend! π₯ Don't blink ,or you'll miss it, though!
Pictured: The Bar Cart. 3 beautiful mirrored shelves, sleek design, and super functional!
Day dreamin' of the sun on my face today. These winter blues, sure pack a punch.... to the face π
This is my official memo. I'm done with winter!
I want the sand between my toes NOW! π€π
We can't express enough how important it is to have florals part of your wedding decor. Whether it's luxurious faux or the freshest blooms, you can't deny it is the jewelry for any space.
Thank you for being a trusted source of all our fresh blooms!
Additional gold frames have dropped! Whether you need frames to deliver an important message to guests or include some photos of your loved ones, we have you covered π€
When the groundhog told us we would be getting spring early.. I didn't know it meant getting the rest of winter in one week!
How is everyone doing out there?! π£ I'm shouting to you because I can't see over the snow banks! πβοΈ
We're popping bottles! Well- not me because I'm in bed by 7! π
Elevate your next corporate or social event with our acrylic champagne walls! The set stands just over 5 feet high and 2 feet wide, making them the perfect accent in any space - no matter the size!
Champagne glasses included! π₯
I hope you all are staying warm and dry! What a mess of a storm. I'm still not dug out yet, like many of us π
Remember to take lots of breaks and stay hydrated!

If you haven't heard, couples are tossing out the formal head table. Some opt for a sweetheart, others want to be amongst their family and friends.
2024 is the year of the 'non-wedding'- wedding! We are seeing some of those traditions shift already. Couples really want to scale back the formality and turn up the fun!
It's time for something bold! Are you ready for it? (Yes, that was most definitely Taylor Swift coded. We are big big Swifties hereπ)
More mirror balls dropped this morning!
Check out our newest addition, the melting mirror ball! We have a couple of variations of these on the way for the upcoming season but currently have two of the melting mirror balls in stock.
Though I didn't make these, they seem easy enough to make! Should I attempt a drippy mirror ball!? π
Comment below if you wanna see a drip!
