We are honored to be the exclusive florists for . One of the best parts of our week is creating weekly arrangements for and . Both are such inspiring spaces not only in terms of decor, but all of the creativity that is poured into all of the beautiful food the kitchen teams come up with is unparalleled.

Beyond their weekly arrangements, we love that each concept plays hosts to highly curated and individual event spaces. Whether it is the gardenesque patio of , the contemporary interiors of , or the speakeasy inspired private dinning room , we love that each space has an identity all its own and we are honored to craft florals and event details for them all!

Feeling good to get back into the swing of things. Planning something extra special this fall in Austin and we are deep into the visual research phase of things. Here’s a peek at what we are thinking.

The private dinning room is a vibe in and of itself. We are here for all the chilled martinis and caviar toasts!

Red is one of our favorites colors to work with for events because while it seems intimidating, it actually pairs so well with a variety of colors. Mix it with butter and creams for an unexpected combination. Pair it with peach and lots of pattern for a vibrant and juicy look. Or, add it to a more subdued palette of blush and white for a little punch!

The tiniest chapel in the jungles of Mexico. There is no place to remote for us to create a memorable event.

One of our favorite tablescapes to date from a family only celebration in the grand foyer .du.reveillon in Normandy. We love the combination of deep red and the palest blue!

The difference is in the details.

Spring is quickly approaching and we are putting the finishing touches on some really exciting events: an exhibition opening at the Menil Collection, a stunning seaside wedding, and an extra special project that has been several years in the making at Goodnight Hospitality.

We are incredibly privileged to work in partnership with some of the most talented designers, artists, chefs, hoteliers, and creatives!

Due to a scheduling conflict, we have had two cancellations in our upcoming workshop at Durslade farmhouse this May in Somerset. DM if you would like one of those spots and check the link in bio for all the details.

Is there anything more romantic than exchanging your vows in a family chapel from the 18th century? We couldn’t imagine a more perfect setting for an intimate ceremony followed by a stunning dinner with close family and friends than the .du.reveillon with its rich history and stunning grounds. It’s truly an idyllic spot for a classic, French chateau wedding.

2024 is bringing with it not just an expansion in our services (we are beyond thrilled to be offering full wedding and event planning!) but also a change in location. We will be splitting our time between Austin and Houston. We are so excited to bring our talents and skills to the Austin market and connecting with couples and creatives throughout central Texas! While our home base may be in Texas, we are event nomads and always have our bags packed, with shears stored separately, ready to get to work all over the world!

A little professional advice based on some personal (and rather vulnerable) experience- if you are going to go over budget on one thing for your wedding, please let it be photography. Seriously, hire the best photographer your budget will allow. It will be the BEST return on investment you can make in your big day.

If you have been following along for a while, you’ll know that I lost my older brother earlier this summer to cancer. With such a tremendous loss, his spirit and memory is kept alive with the many many photos we have of him. When looking through my own wedding album, my favorite photos bring back a flood of memories and emotions, laughter and sometimes tears. Some of my favorites are my husband and me struggling to cut the cake, or my grandfather sitting in his living room having just pinned his boutonnière on and smiling from ear to ear with joy about just being included in the day (he was 94 at the time!) or my brother’s “practice shots” for the phot booth where he was testing props and poses (apparently a deep love of a Photo Booth is a familial trait.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your wedding images will be a sensory experience for you down the road, transporting you back to a moment in time. Each of these images tells a story to the people in them and who shared that experience with them. Capture those moments with as many beautiful photos as you can! You won’t regret it.

2024 is going to be a year bursting with creativity! After a few slower seasons now, wedding are back in full swing and there are some fun trends on the horizon that we are predicting we’ll see a lot of this year:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Shorter hemlines for brides especially for weddings happening in warmer climates.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Heavily layered and personalized stationary. We are loving a mix of prints and patterns, and coordinating your stationary perfectly with your wedding website.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Minimalist tablescapes with one off statement florals, rich textures, and one-of-a-kind ceramics.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Intimate vow exchanges in the afternoon with just the couple and immediate family followed by a larger party with friends that evening.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Bows, bows, and more bows! On gowns, shoes, the table, floral arches, or wherever a bow can go!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6. Intimate, fine dinning receptions in private dining rooms with caviar service and a tasting menu unique to the couple.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
7. Over the top foodscapes with food too pretty to eat inspired by the Guilded Age and filled with opulence. Paired with more sculptural florals, these grand displays are a crowd pleaser!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
8. Middle of the week destination weddings with unique guest experiences making your wedding an amazing vacation for family and friends.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
9. Pattern on pattern on pattern. We are here for more is more in terms of a layered look whether it is in your invitation, sartorial choices, or even your tablescape.

Over the course of a year, we have poured our heart and soul into a brand that celebrates joy and connection. We are the go-to event designers for thoughtful and meaningful events that are centered around beautiful food, flowers, family, friends, and most importantly fun. We will always encourage our clients to prioritize the experience over the trivial because let’s be honest, the custom cocktail napkins will end up the trash and the koozies, trucker hats, and other branded props will eventually get lost and forgotten. An exquisite meal, the laughs shared with friends, and a one-of-a-kind experience will be remembered forever by you and your guests.
