Beauty Overload

Sometimes I just gape in awe at my computer screen.

Today, I couldn't stop staring....and wishing I had a hoard of gold coins hidden under my bed.

BHLDN (pronounced Beholden) is a heirloom quality bridal line developed by the masterminds behind Anthropologie. Today, they launched a line of wedding décor. Be still my heart. The styling of each image is enough to make you gasp. I am in love! Click here to see it ALL!

I'm a total sucker.

Macarons from The Grove in Albuquerque. I sampled the Raspberry and Lavender Lemon. To. Die. For.

Morning Pause

So much going on. So many projects, ideas, and things I want to get done. Taking a minute to stare at the beautiful Ranunculus posies on my dining table and take a deep breath. A good practice these days.

Wishing you all a beautiful week.

Floral Feature!

I'm proud to announce that some of my floral creations were featured on Style Me Pretty today. I worked with a lovely bride and groom to design punchy and unusual florals. We used Succulents, Dahlias, Rannunculus, Crespedia, and Kermit Pomps. Click here for the full article.

Amazing photography provided by Kitty and Craig of Twin Lens. Invite shown above designed by the bride's brother, Christian DeCastro.
