Throwback Lobster Boil

I’m a big believer in treating your team right. We work hard…really hard. Yes, we create invitations and have the chance to paint beautiful things everyday and talk to interesting people BUT we work incredibly hard. Long hours, sometimes tears and exhaustion all deserved to be recognized and rewarded. One particular season in Momental History, […]

Greenhouse Luncheon

A luncheon in a historic greenhouse?  Yes please!  The sun trickling in early that morning was hard to ignore.  Of course, though, it is difficult not to get good light in a greenhouse, but that cold December morning seemed like perfection.  Dew on the window panes with succulents and ferns at every turn, the room […]

40 Years

Kristy’s parents celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary so of course, what a perfect opportunity to craft a festive and artful celebration.  Her parents are long time lovers of Country Music, the real variety…think Hank Williams Jr., Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.  So Kristy gathered her creative friends to put together an evening filled with old […]

Botticelli’s Lunch

After an extended stay throughout Italy, I’d become quite obsessed with Botticelli’s Primavera masterpiece. Moody darkness mingled with intricate floral and creamy, ethereal tones seem a curious choice for a cold winter’s day luncheon. Drawing on contrasts and enliven the colonial cleanness of our space with organic textures and a subdued palette of rich hues. […]

Riverboat Artistic Wedding

My Best Friend’s Wedding was a like a dream-a wonderful realization of so many of our childhood daydreams.  Two friends, and yes a very involved groom brought this heartfelt day filled with meaning to life in just under a year.  I became the wedding stylist of sorts, and infused into the wedding what I know […]
