Basement Redo: REVEAL!
The basement studio space is finally complete! Back in Basement Redo: Part 1 we showed you everything we did during the slow months of 2020. We needed to create a space that was uber organized for our inventory manager, Char, to get through our wedding weeks and make it seamless for our freelancers to come in and feel comfortable with labeled and easily accessible supplies! Not only did we want the space to be organized, but we really wanted the curated aesthetic of our upstairs to make its way to the downstairs. Being surrounded by a beautiful, clean and organized space really helps to keep our minds clear for the creativity to flow :) See what we did with all the before and afters below!

Escort Table Inspiration for Every Budget
When you’re planning for your wedding flowers you may focus on bouquets and centerpieces, but remember there are other special areas of your wedding that you may want to dress up! Consider doing something special on your escort table as it’s generally the first table that welcomes guests into your cocktail or reception space! It’s not just another table to be seen, each and every guest has to stop here to find out where to go next. The escort card itself doesn’t have to just be a piece of paper that people throw away- it could be something more creative that doubles as your favor or serve a more functional purpose (think cards on top of champagne glasses for a toast or little potted succulents guests get to keep). Take this opportunity to make a statement or to honor your relationship with a personal touch!
