A Fancy Dinner Party for the Fossil Jewelry Team

These table centerpieces for a dinner party are from the archives too. They may be some of the favorite arrangements I've made. Pink can be cliche when used alone, but when combined with pops of orange and lime green, it instantly becomes modern and fresh.

White freesia has a sweet peppery fragrance, but the pink freesia I used in these arrangements has a much sweeter smell.

FRIENDLY TIP: Freesia is great for wedding bouquets and table arrangements because of its subtley sweet fragrance. It's used a lot in perfumes - I swear I smell it in Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb! Freesia comes in purple too....it does it all.

This particular dinner party was for the Fossil jewerly team so they added some pieces right before setting the table. A bit of glitz never hurt anyone.

A Rustic Dining Room Table Centerpiece at The Finks

This is a project from 2010, but I thought it was worth sharing. My friend Jennifer has a great eye for interiors - last year she painted her formal dining room a deep rich purple, so we quickly concocted a way to "dress the dining room table" with some of our recent finds from a huge antique show called Round Top - a wide French Bread Board and old purple-tinted wine bottles.

Check out the lighting from the window....makes the multi-colored ranunculas and wildflowers look like they are sprouting out of the wine bottles.

Yes, I went back to Good 2 Go Tacos...

...and the tacos were as tasty as they look on Cassie's face. Check out the new outdoor seating - long church pews!

The Swine Bleu taco...delish...braised pork and fresh blue cheese slaw. HELLO.

We dropped off a small "welcome to the new location" arrangement in an old spaghetti sauce jar to our favorite people, co-owners Colleen and Jeana.

And dog friendly!

They all dined happily on fried chicken and the fixin's...

Quick shout out to my water bobble - it saved the day again. It filters as you drinks! I was a thirsty girl...

Bridesmaid bouquets doing double-duty at the reception...

More Instagram photo filters... Instagram obsession....

Gerber Daisies are such a happy flower...

Since the dinner was all SOUTHERN COMFORT food served family style, we used two square vases stacked on top of each other to create more height on the tables.

The santuary at Wilshire Baptist church is BEAUTIFUL. I love the colors in this wedding party picture above.

I especially love this filter on my new-found favorite app - Instagram. Makes this look like an old photo I found in a book.

Amie and Jansen Get Hitched

Amie and Jansen asked for flowers with rich red tones for their wedding on February 19th. Upon meeting Amie for the first time, I knew the flowers needed to unique and spunky. We used pops of fuschia and lime green to achieve a lush tropical feel that was uber-romantic. See above the "before" picture...

And here is after! The contrast of the bold red bridal bouquet against Amie's beautiful wedding dress was stunning.

And we decided on elegant white and green bouquets to contrast against the deep red bridesmaid dresses.

Friendly tip - bridesmaid bouquets can be used again as table centerpieces - I plopped these flowers into vases awaiting with water in the reception hall. Easy!
