Flower Class Was a Blast!

Our first flower class was amazing! Thank you to everyone who signed up. We loved meeting you all, and you blew us away with your talent and enthusiasm.

At the flower market, we chose lush white blooms and greens, for fresh, seasonal arrangements in a natural style. Consider buying several types of flowers, all in the same color, when you’re new to floral design. The tight palette means you can focus on getting a shape you like. Plus, it looks very chic. Guided by our floral stylists, everyone in class worked on their own creation to take home. We shared simple tips on how to choose and prepare blossoms, plus the kind of inside tricks that make all the difference!

Wearable Tech Engagement Ring Records Memories

by admin

Jewelry has always served as a memory keeper. Now, diamond engagement rings can literally hold wedding memories like vows, photos and web links. Momento Diamond rings by Galatea will be introduced this fall. Luxury wearable wedding tech has truly arrived.

“Think of 50 years from now, and it has your proposal and your wedding vows and your baby being born and your baby saying, ‘I love you.’ It will be so valuable in 50 years, when you actually hand it over, and you can say, ‘Everything is in here.’ It’s like a locket but interactive,” said Galatea founder Chi Huynh said in JCK magazine.

We Love: Mini-Succulent Party Favors

by Elianna Phelps

We created these mini-succulent party favors for guests at our Spring Showroom Opening Party and we received so many compliments that we thought we’d share the idea. Simple to make and charming whether presented in a large grouping or singularly at place settings, these make great wedding favors or bridal shower favors. Use fresh succulents planted in soil, instead of cuttings, for party favors that are living reminders of your celebration.

Start with individually potted succulents. We chose all lavender-hued rosettes, for a uniform look, but these desert plants grow in a variety of shapes and soft colors. Ordering a collection of mixed succulents is usually a less costly option. Follow your floral supplier’s instructions for watering, then use a soft brush to clean off any stray soil.
