This Image by Louise Kikuchi of Pears is very simple and beautiful. I love the contrast of the gray bush stokes and the soft yellow of the pears. This evokes thoughts and feelings of fall for me.

A small spring wedding celebration for the sweetest girl in the world

Doing a small wedding on a budget can be tough. Last spring we were asked to do a wedding for the dearest client I've ever had. The brides request was that we bring the outdoors in. So we did.
Flowers on a tight budget can be hard but with imagination and lots of good energy you can make it happen. Here are a few tips for making your budget go far.
To make a big impact think big bold color. Color reads rich and catches the eye. You should also consider the size of your floral pieces. If you have fewer flower pieces these pieces that you do have should be larger . If your flower displays are larger the overall effect will be much more powerful.
Less is more........ Often we will group flowers. Grouping individual flowers is striking and can be very inexpensive. Below we just placed many bouquets of individual types of flowers in several different glass cylinders. Pile extra flower petals at the base of the cylinder and scatter a hand full of votive candles around. This created a beautiful and grand entrance flower display. Very inexpensive and adds to the wow factor.

This is a prime example of bold color and a very happy Bride. Enjoy planning and plan with a smile.

Happy Birthday Vallery!!!

Talk about a Party fit for a Queen...... Last Night we did an amazing Dinner party in honor of our dear friend Queen Vallery. 
Set amongst the lush green back drop of Vals Family farm Chon and I created a tablescape of Summer flowers and soft french linen.  We used Reds, Sherbet orange and Yellow for a nice contrast to all the natural greens that engulfed us. The addition of the antique Hydrangea added to the soft, feminine, elegant feel.

The Menus were a simple and sweet way to display the evenings dinner offerings.

Seven Courses of rich  Traditional Italian cuisine. Ranging from Braised Beef Short ribs with salsa verde to Buttermilk Panna cotta with figs and Black pepper shortbreads. Outstanding.
We are sure that Val was happy on her day. We hope to spend many more birthdays with her. 
Happy birthday Queen Val. We love you and you and wish you many more. Rory and Chon Zinna Design
