All in the Details

 

A SWEET SPOT TO START-20140424 192737-0002

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.

A SWEET SPOT TO START-20140424 192737-0041

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.

An Affair Amidst Sculptures

 

 

 

Wedding Blog 1November 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.

Wedding Blog 6

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.

Wedding Blog 2Once 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.

Wedding Blog 5The 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

Thanksgiving Table 2

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?

Thanksgiving Table 3

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.

Thanksgiving 5

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.

An Al Fresco Affair

Al Fresco Wedding 1

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.

Private Estate 2

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.

Al Fresco Wedding 3

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 Freso Wedding 4

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.

Al Fresco Wedding 5

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.

DMA Luncheon 3

Twice a year, the Dallas Museum of Art hosts an event called Art in Bloom. This is a fundraiser that hosts art and philanthropic enthusiasts alike. Cebolla Fine Flowers was proud to be the Floral Sponsor for the event, as the Floral Endowment Fund is something we are proud to contribute to.

DMA Luncheon 6

An afternoon spent at the Dallas Museum of Art is sure to delight the most discerning of tastes, and we were honored to be apart of such a special day. If you haven’t already visited this grand Museum, you surely must.  One could spend and entire day admiring the lavish displays of renowned Art pieces that grace it’s halls.

DMA Luncheon 2

The Event began with a silent auction, where attendees could bid on floral pieces from shops around the Dallas metroplex, along with a stunning gown donated by the fabulous Hadleighs. Guests were also browsing amongst tables adorned with timeless jewelry pieces, and a delectable array of fine chocolates available for purchase.

Guests were then ushered into the Auditorium, and were greeted by the charming Danielle Rollins who’s creativity has graced the pages of Gracious Living & Stylish Entertaining. Her quick whited humor entertained guests as she so graciously shared some insider design tricks and secrets, all while assembling 7 floral pieces which were also available for auction once the seminar commenced. Be sure to reference her book, Soiree Entertaining with Style (Rizzoli 2012) next time you host a dinner party. Her style is effortlessly organic and glamourous.

Lunch began at noon, and as guests feasted on a delectable three course meal, amongst a fashion show provided by Hadleighs. Hadleighs collection was full of rich textures for fall and winter highlighting shades of blue. Tailored suits, fine wool hats, ultra feminine dresses, and designer shoes were showcased on the runway.

As the afternoon came to a close, guests mingled with friends, and partook in a live auction which included fine dining experiences at private estates, lavish trips across the states and abroad, and ornate jewelry.
