Veranda Photoshoot

The Cebolla Fine Flowers team had the privilege to work with Veranda in a styled home photo shoot. We were deeply honored to be selected provide the floral pieces.

One of our favorite ways to make arrangements is in custom containers that our clients bring to our shop from their homes. Wether it is your grandmothers soup tureen, or a elaborate vase, we can build an arrangement in just about anything.

The grounds were a perfectly selected place to photograph. Pairing eggplant with sumptuous ruffled flowers is a lovely juxtaposition in both color and design.

We thoroughly enjoyed spending a day with the Veranda team. Next time you order an arrangement, consider something you already have in your home to use as a container.

All in the Details

 

We just adore all the sweet details that go into hosting an event. Whether you are throwing the wedding of the decade, or hosting an intimate 8 course dinner party, there are countless tiny details that contribute to the proper execution of a flawless affair.

For instance, we love using the juxtaposition of something that is hyper feminine  such as a sweet tea cup and saucer, mercury glass, and placing them with an antler.

An overgrown table is sure to impress, however there is something magical when you fuse other decor elements with a layered tablescape. For instance, use other furniture pieces to accent your table. This gives so much more vibrancy and texture to your dining room.

The next time you plan a gathering, be sure to include Cebolla Fine Flowers to assist you with planning the detailed elements of your floral decor. We are thrilled to serve you, and bring a little extra life into your home.

In a Years Time

 

It is a crazy notion that 2014 has come and gone. With so many things to celebrate, the Cebolla team has been hastily working on an array of weddings, parties, events, home installments, personals, gifts, and so much more. We are so grateful for our wonderful clientele, and all of the opportunities we have been given to serve them.

It’s hard to claim a favorite, but we do adore weddings. With the scene set for a romantic display of love, florals are a perfect addition to any event backdrop. There is something special in the way flowers communicate an “I love you”, that other elements can’t rival.

Valentines day is a staple event in any floral shop. With restaurants, chocolatier, and jewelry shops bustling during this time of year, Valentines day is a wonderful way to take the time to remind your special someone how much you love and care about them.

Whether you enjoy custom designed pieces to place in your home, or for your events, Florals add a sense of magic to your surroundings. We enjoy tailoring each order to your preferences.

We adore floral wreaths! They are customized to each person and the event they are attending. Whether you’re looking to add another dimension to floral decor in a photo shoot, wedding, event, the florals wreaths are sure to make a statement.

As we usher into the spring, our shop is bustling with vibrant and rich flowers. We love too help in Easter decor, whether that be a table scape, for your kitchen, or for another place in your home.

Another anticipated event each spring is Mothers Day. What a wonderful way to say “I love you” to your favorite cheerleader in life, your Mom. Whether you celebrate with brunch out on the town, or a quiet private affair at home, flowers are always a special thank you for a life dedicated to supporting you.

Hockaday graduation is a special time of year for students, and also their parents. As high school girls transition out of the home and into their next season of life as a collegiate woman, we couldn’t be more thrilled to help them look their best in their Hockaday hats.

With so many opportunities to celebrate each year, be sure to keep Cebolla Fine Flowers in mind. As we depart from 2014 into 2015, we would like to thank each and every one of our clients for their business. Because of you, we are able to do what we love. May you have continued health, and happiness in 2015!

Hunting and Gathering

That time of year is finally upon us, with our first snowfall in Dallas a thing of the past, we begin the official countdown to the new holiday season. Our awesome team has been working around the clock preparing for this holiday season. Each year in November a select few of our team make the trek to Colorado to harvest wood and other design elements off the farm. As layers and layers of warm clothing, gloves, hats, and boots were piled into the trucks, no one could really prepare the team for the cold they were about to face.

The farm is located deep in the heart of the Colorado mountains, a truly pristine landscape. Here, trickling streams have been lightly dusted with the first snowfall, and are visited by wild animal more-so than humans. Winter serves as undeniable proof that abundant life has once flourished; while now deep in its slumber, a continual reminder that life will once again return, and this picturesque stream will be shaded once again.

After traversing through snow, streams, and rolling hills, the team of designers began their winters harvest. At 25 degrees below zero, the several layers of bundled clothing could not take the chill away. Whistling wind danced through the trees as if to welcome us into their home, and the soft tranquil sounds of nature  were interrupted only by the soft crunching of fresh snowfall under our feet, and echoing laughter.

This year was truly special, as our visiting Swiss designer ventured from Dallas, Texas to the snowy state of Colorado. He selected branches that will be used in our Holiday collection of centerpieces, wreathes, and arrangements.

For a week, the team gathered, created, and transported items back to the Dallas metroplex to ensure that when you purchase an arrangment from Cebolla Fine Flowers, you will be purchasing items that are organically harvested off our Colorado farm. These are items we raise and create, so that you can bring a little piece of our home into yours.

Here at Cebolla Fine Flowers, we believe in the selection process. By selecting where our florals are raised, our tight knit relationships with our growers, and directly importing guarantees a quality that is unsurpassed. In the same respect, we value collecting design elements straight from our tranquil farm. This enables our team to provide our treasured clients with the best florals, arrangements, and home decor items available.  Fusing elements of the untraversed wild into your home is something truly special, and sure to capture the hearts of your guests.

An Affair Amidst Sculptures

 

 

 

November is such a prized time of year. Starbucks red cups become a prevalent accessory among city goers, scarves and sweaters adorn Dallas’s inhabitants, and mittens are amongst the first items packed as you depart from your home. There’s something refreshing about trading warm humidity, for chilly “see my breath” weather. As many will say, the weather here changes it’s mind seemingly on an hourly basis, and this could not be any truer for this particular wedding day. Within just a few days, Dallas embarked from 90 degree weather to the cool 40’s transformation. Dallas in November is the perfect time to host a wedding, in our humble opinion. As the heat dissipates, the colder crisp air is a refreshing change of pace for an event space, and it’s inhabitants. This wedding, was no exception to that sentiment. The team departed for downtown Dallas with mittens and warm sweaters in hand.

Downtown Dallas is an exceptional place to host a swanky affair, and this bride and grooms vision was the true personification of style and sophistication. Every last detail was taken into account, and as guest funneled into the chapel for a indelible ceremony, they were greeted by subtle bespoken details that adorned the church. Ivy garland graced the rails leading into this sacred event, with petite spray roses sprinkled throughout.

Once the ceremony convened, guests made the short walk to the Nasher Sculpture Center. This is one of our favorite reception locations. The Nashers’ exceptional staff, and well manicured gardens are nothing short of impressive. The glowing lights amidst the trees, the incredible statues seated amongst the reception site are some of our favorite attributes to this event space.

The bride and groom dined at a table engulfed in rich florals and textures. While the temperatures dropped as the evening ensued,  the glow from the candlelight and strung tree lights highlighted the warmth of the divine golds, reds, pinks, and yellows flowers gracing the reception venue.  We were so beyond grateful to be apart of such a special day, and wish our bride and groom nothing but a lifetime of happiness.

The Gathering Place

As the sumptuous colors of the fall begin to fade, days begin to shorten, and the nights slowly usher the city of Dallas into the imminent winter months. The changing of the seasons is always an expression of the high esteem and reverence held toward previous months.  We slowly begin to release the tight grip of the passing season, as we embark toward returned customs and ceremonious festivities in the homestead. We begin to gather in warm and inviting places as the cold weather falls upon our sweet hometown. Theres a sense of warmth and invitation that only a dining table can bring. It’s a sacred place to rest in community, and soothe the hungry soul. It’s the place we invite friends, family, and esteemed guests. It’s a together place, and a casual place. It’s the place we nourish bodies, and hearts. And why shouldn’t this quiet place of respite be anything, but extraordinary?

The month of Thanksgiving serves a reminder of the importance of a shared dining table. It’s a prized American ceremony where homes are filled with the scents of Mama’s glorious home cooking, the sounds of a football game, and the chatter of family and friends catching up. The planning for such a blessed event begins early. Inquisitions such as,”What do I bring?”, “How should I decorate?”, “How many table settings must be set?”, and “What time does the Thanksgiving Day Parade begin?” slowly but surely to sift through our conscious.

We invite you to let Cebolla Fine Flowers help relieve you of your Thanksgiving home decor duties, as we are honored to be apart of your holiday traditions. Whether you’re looking for a hostess gift, or transforming your Thanksgiving table, we can help bring just a little more warmth to your home. Rich colors, divine smells, and whispy textures bring that extra something to the table. Stop by our Lovers Lane store, and get lost in the seasons indelible creations.

An Al Fresco Affair

As the final (fingers crossed) heat wave graced Dallas, the team geared up for a beautiful fall affair amidst the lush neighborhood of Highland Park. Fall is such a revered and celebrated season painted with deep rich floral colors making their final debut before a deep winter slumber. It’s a time for warm comforting meals, and shared table space with those you treasure most. What a perfect way to bring people together during this sacred time of year, not only to celebrate a union of two people, but the ultimate representation of two families uniting together as one.

Place settings were staged, the aisle guarded by a lush array of petals, candles were lit, and the sun danced across the ceremony space ornately peeping through branches. As guest arrived, their senses were greeted with such a stunning array of the seasons favorite colors, laced with rustic charm. There is something to be said for community abounding around a table in celebration, and being enveloped in natures most pristine pieces of artwork, the flower.

The event was graced by so many beautiful things, and one of our favorites were these lovely ladies. Flower girls are such an endearing part of a wedding, and a long standing fixation in the American wedding tradition. The flower girl has long standing symbolism, which dates back to the Roman days. Their symbolism which represents innocence, and joy is the true personification of a lady stepping out of her role as a girl, and into the role as a married woman. The floral crowns were the perfect accessory to adorn such a  precious individual.  The sound of little voices, twirling in glittery gowns is sure to put a smile on just about any face.

Al Fresco weddings are simply stunning. We were in awe of such a picturesque ceremony and reception site. The grand tree that sat center stage of the event was beautifully illuminating the evening, gently allowing enough sunlight to make the glassware, glorious chandelier, and strung lights to glitter their surroundings.

We loved being apart of  this sacred day, a truly lavish affair in such an intimate setting. We wish our prized bride and groom all the happiness the world has to offer.
