Trois Estate Wedding

My new favorite place in Texas: The Trois Estate! The couple that owns the property, Rebecca and Charles, are such gracious hosts. The place is full of antiques, artifacts and historical items: can you say “Napoleon’s dagger!”

In October, I had the opportunity to produce an incredible wedding for an Austin couple, Kim and Ryan. The only artistic direction from them was to create a “Jonathan Adler goes to the Texas Hillcountry” event. I think we nailed it!

Kim’s sister, Jaclyn, is a dear friend of mine and an ubber talented photographer. You have got to check out her picts from the weekend. Hill Country cool!

august greens

recently, i produced a beautiful reception party for a couple whose son married in Florida in July. The mother of the groom loved bright green floral, a popular request during the month of August.

the result turned out exactly as I had envisioned in my head (i always love it when that happens!). check out the pistachio green hanging lamps. i loved the finish out with white acrylic at the bottom. the light perfectly radiated through both the silk dupioni fabric and the acrylic. lovely glow in a big white tent.

thanks to planner Sherry Hargrove for an incredible event!

pack a modern punch

looking for a modern color palette for your next event? try bright orange and turquoise. keeping the colors bold and the varieties of floral to a minimum will provide more impact. in this setting, orange ranunculas, blue muscari and white phaleonopsis orchids are used in mass to create a sophisticated setting. the chic white vases from IKEA add an extra punch of style (and they’re easy on the pocketbook).

tip: if you’re on a budget, one type of floral in a stylish vase with a small opening will give you bigger bang for the buck!
