The City of Palm Springs: inspiring hearts and minds! And tablescapes!

As if you didn’t know, we love Palm Springs.  We’re thrilled to live here and do business in the community with our wonderful customer base that is always growing. We were honored the other night to be asked to decorate a table at the Renaissance Esmeralda for an event that benefitted the March of Dimes.  The request came from none other than our fair city, Palm Springs.  All the area cities had tables, and we were excited to be tapped to create the one that represented our hometown, and the center of the My Little Flower Shop universe. We chose a bright, cheerful red jacquard linen, and set it off with one of our signature Manzanita tree scupltural centerpieces hung with three lush spheres of scarlet roses and Swarovski crystal drops.  To pull in that Palm Springs “je ne sais quois,” and keep things fresh, we placed a boldly patterned pillow in each chair.  The outcome? a beautiful table that’s not afraid to get it’s party on!  Martini anyone?

Bridal Show Report: Brides Rockin’ the Rocks and Talkin’ the Talk!

The brides were out at the Palm Valley Country Club yesterday, and so were all the vendors, friends old and new.  We got to see all the shiny new rings – mostly on girls who’ve been engaged a few months and are rarin’ to get started on those checklists.  The advice we pass along most frequently is the same whether you’ve had the ring for eleven minutes or eleven months: breathe, stand up straight, and enjoy your moment.  Yesterday the moment was kid-in-the candy-store time – all those resources laid out in one place, gee whiz!  Hard to know where to start.  We sat back and enjoyed the parade of happiness that walked past our booth.  And of course, admired our handiwork.  Thanks to Genoa from The Pastry Swan Bakery for modeling this bridal bouquet for us!
