Proms, Moms and Automobiles. No, that’s no good. Hmmmm.

The title will continue to evolve.  In any case, we’re celebrating Moms and Proms this weekend at My Little Flower Shop. (A wedding too – note to self- order more white roses). Moms across the Valley (and the country!) will fill with pride, watching their kids stepping out on the town in their prom dresses and tuxedos.  Wait, they’ll be stepping into…Automobiles!  Hey! How about that! OK, a stretch. Back to the drawing board on the title.
What did your Mom whisper to you on your way out the door?  Here’s a distillation of some advice and wisdom My Little Flower Shop staff gleaned from our wise Moms once upon a time.  Feel free to pass any and all along to your little darlings for Prom Night 2011, in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, or all across these United States.
Behave like a young lady/gentleman at dinner.  The other patrons of the restaurant aren’t paying to have dinner with a bunch of rowdy teenagers.
-Be polite to your date. You asked them/accepted the invitation for a reason. Don’t abandon them at a table and run off to be with your friends.
-Please don’t roll your eyes at Mom when she take lots of pictures. You’re going to love having them someday, so smile and have fun for the camera.
-Don’t do anything you’re not comfortable with, or let anyone push you too far. Carry enough cash for cab fare home, and you’ll always have an “out.”
Last but not least…
– Make memories. As Lee Ann Womack (also a Mom) put it so well:
“And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Celebrate your prom!

Polo gallops into fashion week – Hot new trend: Village Chic

Fashion Week rolls on here in Palm Springs!  FW events and parties so far have been the bee’s knees. (And that bee is a 5′ 11 blonde with a sort of cool/messy shag and no hips.  And looks fabulous in everything).  Oh be patient people, the title will make sense by the time you’re done reading.

Philanthropy is the focus of some events, and we love that.   We are so honored when charities choose us to help with decor for an event they are holding, and we’re doing just that on Saturday at the Empire Polo Club when they hold their 2011 Champions Cup benefitting Martha’s Village, a local homeless services non-profit. There’s a Polo match, and a formal lunch and looks like a terrific event. Tickets are still available, see the details below.  Hope to see you there, fashion plate!

PS – the Polo Club is also an event venue. Brides, do double duty and check out the space!

There's still time! Come out for the event!
