IT’S STATE FAIR TIME!


While the majority of us will be eating our way through the fair this year (as we should), I wanted to remind you that there is a wonderful exhibit completely dedicated to plants. Located adjacent to the Texas Star is a greenhouse that houses landscape professionals and hosts lectures and discussions every Saturday and Sunday at 11, 1, 3 and 5 every weekend of the fair. There is a special event with Neil Sperry on Friday October 1st at 1 and 3 p.m. You can hear a variety of professionals; see wonderful landscaping by over 50 companies tending 100 beds. The Fall Garden Exhibition also includes work by 27 artists.
So if you have the inclination, go by and get some planting ideas or just look at the fabulous designs of plants and colors. Then please enjoy something deep fried!

Thanks for reading,
Robin

Featured Wedding

'Naranja' and Orange Unique" Roses give
depth to a monochromatic palette.
Here's some of my favorite shots from a gorgeous monochromatic Orange wedding we did back in June at the Hotel Crescent Court. The bride loved clean geometric shapes so we focused mainly on spheres, incorporating differing shades of Orange into the mix. Loved it!

We did a traditional Chuppah for the ceremony, but added in modern
Rose Orbs and candles on the floor for a romantic effect.

We mimicked the candle and Rose spheres aspect, but on a much smaller scale for the bar in the Crescent Club. All of the dark, traditional woods paired with bright and modern Oranges brought a fresh touch to a traditional space.

Low and clean all rose centerpieces
in differing shades of orange.
Amazing cake from La Duni. Our Orange
Unique Roses dusted with powdered
sugar emits such an ethereal effect.
