Tuesday’s Table | Greenery

Pantone’s 2017 Color of the Year is Greenery 15-0343. 

“Greenery is nature’s neutral. The more submerged people are in modern life, the greater their innate craving to immerse themselves in the physical beauty and inherent unity of the natural world. This shift is reflected by the proliferation of all things expressive of Greenery in daily lives through urban planning, architecture, lifestyle and design choices globally. A constant on the periphery, Greenery is now being pulled to the forefront – it is an omnipresent hue around the world. A life-affirming shade, Greenery is also emblematic of the pursuit of personal passions and vitality.” – Pantone

Tuesday’s Table | Orange & White

Around this time of year, we get pretty used to seeing the color orange. Orange has seemingly become synonymous with autumn, usually being coupled with browns, golden yellows and hints of mahogany. Today’s table is inspired by the season, but given a fresh perspective that is bright and modern.

Real Love | Claire & Chase

Just finished celebrating a long wedding weekend with a great couple and their families from all over the country.  The whole weekend was just perfect in beautiful San Clemente, CA.  All of our event support team were amazing and worked well on this heavily produced celebration;  complete with multiple events throughout the weekend, a surprise Second Line after dinner (New Orleans Jazz Band) and photo booth. And even after more than 2 hours of dancing to our great motown/jazz band (Blue Breeze Band)…the couple topped it off with an After Party walking distance away just off the beach at Sunsets at the Pier.

Everything came together just beautifully.  I loved how our design of sea accents and vintage charm worked with the custom made runners and classic Spanish-style of Casa Romantica.  Stacey, Floral Occasions definitely made this vision jump off the paper.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  All our hard work with adjusting timelines paid off to see everyone enjoying themselves so much.  And how sweet of a review the couple left as well.
