Mary & Mike's Wedding - Coindre Hall - 7.1.17

With the ruffly white petals of garden roses and peony, the delicate scent of tuberose and lots of lush green ferns, these flowers were bound for glory.

Mindful Meditation Event

Last week we designed for a lovely corporate event with a theme of "Mindfulness" which essentially is the practice of focusing your attention on the present moment—and accepting it without judgment.

The event was held in the Garden Room at the Darien Community Association in Darien, CT.  The guest speaker was Dan Harris of ABC News whose book, "10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found a Self-Help That Actually Works", deals with the topic of mindful meditation.

The flowers were designed to be calming, serene and of course, seasonally appropriate like a forest floor in Spring. Here are some photos:

8' farm tables gave the event a communal, intimate feel.

Twilight Christmas Tours at the Vanderbilt Mansion

Every Holiday season, we volunteer to decorate a room or two at Centerport's beautiful Vanderbilt Mansion.  We love creating in a place of such history and splendor right here in our own backyard.  This year we chose Rosamond Vanderbilt's dressing room and created an appropriate decoration for such a space...

Our Christmas Dress built upon Mrs. Vanderbilt's dress form for the Vanderbilt Museum Twilight Christmas Tour.

The fireplace in the Mrs. Vanderbilt's dressing room was topped with a simple green garland and draped in crystals to compliment the chandeliers in the room and on the necklace on the Christmas Dress.
