Complementary Colors

I have been so excited to share these pictures. I did these two small weddings in November and loved how both of them turned out. The yellow and gray wedding is the same one that I blogged about the centerpieces here. If you saw my post about succulents the other day then you know why I am in love with this bouquet.

The purple bouquet was completely different but I am equally in love. It was so different than your typical bouquet but I LOVED how it turned out. It was edgy and so fun. It had some fun flowers in it too: pin cushion flowers, coxcomb, awesome purple vanda orchids, purple cabbages, anemones, some callas, lacy dusty miller, and peacock feathers. The shape was fun too. The bride wanted a little bit of a cascade so I did sort of a modern assymetrical version since cascading bouquets are actually coming back. Like I said, LOVE. I was SO mad I didn't get my own pictures of this one. I knew the pictures of the yellow bouquet would be AWESOME because my same wedding photographer took them (Gallery Photography) and Kelly is amazing. But I don't think the pictures of the purple one do it justice. There isn't really a picture of it at it's best angle. Cascading bouquets are hard because they technically have a "right" front side. But anyway, it was so great in person. Here are the pics so take a peek and tell me what you think!

Client Progress

These lovely clients of mine just bought their first house after finishing medical school and we are having so much fun decorating it! We started with the living/dining room which is almost complete, and then we will be moving to the family room and office.  I think many people believe interior design happens quickly and you have to spend a lot of money all at once. That is one way you can decorate your home, but with this client we took it slow and steady. This results in an equally beautiful home. We came up with an overall design and concept to begin with, but were very flexible with reconfiguring the design as we went and buying things over time, not all at once.  We started with the key furniture pieces (sofa, chairs, console, dining table and chairs) and then a few months later added the side table, rug, light fixture, and mirrors.  Last week while I was in Utah we added the lamps and a few accessories and now we just need some window treatments a...
