  • Rock and Roll All Night

    The theme for this years annual Member/ Guest Gala at The Club at Carlton Woods was taken from the amazing decor at The House of Blues in Houston.
    With rust, gold and navy silk draped from floor to ceiling you couldn't help but feel like you were where the party was going to be! Our flowers popped off the fabric colors creating beautiful focal pieces that truly took center stage for this amazing...

    The Club at Carlton Woods is always busy this time of year with parties, wine dinners, golf tournaments and amazing galas. A few weeks ago they had a spectacular western weekend as a kick off to their annual member guest gala. So here is a sneak peak at the weeks earlier events.
    Western themes can vary from bandannas and burlap to wild sun flowers and wheat grass. It just depends of what type of...
  • Entry Table Elegance

    The Club at Carlton Woods is never lacking in it's decor. Especially with their new weekly addition of a beautiful arrangement on their entry table at the Nicklaus clubhouse.
    Each week the design changes, along with colors and types of flowers. We try to keep it interesting by creating multiple pieces and going super contemporary or doing the opposite and staying traditional with high impact...
  • Welcome Home

    What better way to welcome guests into your home than to have an abundance of fresh flowers in every room! What was even better about this home is that they had stunning antique vases that already coordinated with each room.
    We used a variety of peach, coral, green, pink and champagne tones to compliment the decor of their beautiful home. With full and luscious arrangements in just about every room...
  • Easter at the Carlton Woods

    Brunch, Lunch and Dinner! We did it all this year and had fun with the GORGEOUS cherry blossom that we got in. Blooming branches just scream spring!
    One of the events had a white and yellow color scheme and so we thought it would be fun to use tulips, gerbera daisies and yellow button poms. To help elongate our tablescapes we used some of our silver votive cups with one fun tulip sticking right out...
  • Wild Weekend

    May is one of those months that seems to be simply wild. We love it here; from the weddings to the graduation parties, prom and Mother's Day we stay hoppin'! The picture above are a few styles of arrangements that we used in The Grand Ballroom at The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center. Due to the tall ceiling and shear magnitude of the room we like to use a few different styles of centerpieces...
  • We Are Party People!

    There's nothing we enjoy more than a good party! But no party is complete without stunning decor, right? In addition to the fresh fragrance they provide, fresh florals add texture, color and visual impact to any room. The pieces above were just a few of our favorites from a part we did with a major contemporary flare. We created gorgeous visual impact with lots of texture by using Kangaroo paw,...

    Everybody could use a little sunshine right? How can you resist the big beautiful faces of these shinning beauties!

It finally starts cooling down enough to enjoy the great outdoors. There's nothing like waking up in the morning and going for a walk when...
