special delivery

February 12th, 2010 by Soraya Mcnally

along side the offerings of our online store, we invite clients to ask us for custom creations.  yesterday we had a very special request…blue, orange, and purple, tulips, and lotus, giving a nod to dutch and indian heritages.   i really enjoy the challenge of creating for such special requests. i went on a hunt for the perfect container to house these exotic blooms and found myself in a store with an assortment of woven containers, carved bowls, and hammered metal accents.  i found the perfect piece,  a small wooden trunk with brass inserted panels imported from india . . . here is our special delivery.  special delivery


fall flowers

October 20th, 2009 by Malaya
April showers bring May flowers.  Our rain has come late this year and brought its own set of fall flowers.  Asters, sweet peas, bells of Ireland, chinese lanterns, delphiniums, cosmos, hydrangea, lisianthius, and tuberose are just some of this season’s flowers.  Pairing these flowers with other autumnal elements like pomegranates, pumpkins, squashes, and leaves will help your designs last the whole season and show your holiday spirit.
FLOWERS: bells of ireland, miniature pumpkins, monstera leaf

ARTIST: Savor The Date

The first thing your guests will see of your wedding is your save the date, or if you decide not to send them, your wedding invitation.  These can be more helpful to you than spreading the whens, wheres, and whos.  It is also the beginning of creating the ambiance of your wedding.

Toby Simon of Savor The Date has some great examples of stationary designs that can fit all feelings.  My favorites. . . Toby’s custom illustrations where she really captures the essence of the couple.

what a stylish wedding!  i suppose that’s what you get when your bride works for armani exchange.  her keen eye for aesthetics shows in the choices of ceremony (church of the nativity in menlo park) and reception (garden court hotel in palo alto) locations.  to see more wonderful photographs of priscilla and geoff’s wedding, check out erica berger’s site.
