custom terrarium

custom terrariums are keeping me movin'. sadly i don't always remember to document them all. or if i do, sometimes the photos don't quite do the piece justice since i am rushing them out the door and not holding the camera steady, intoxicated with that feeling of "must get this done and on to the next project now...". but fortunatly i had a moment and the memory to document this lovely little treasure. it was made for a husband to be to gift to his bride to be. it depicts them at their upcoming wedding in yellowstone national park. and by the groom's side (as he lifts a proud fist to the air) is his loyal pooch.
i am always grateful for the custom work i get to make for my clients. they send me photos of their faces and furry children, details about their lives and we get to know each other all for this little moment in the vessel filled with greenery. this particular couple really touched my heart. yes, i am that corny. i love love. :)

garden wedding

this last weekend we went to a garden wedding. erick was one of the best men. he looked super handsome. we rocked it and caught the bouquet and garter belt for the 3rd time in a row! i am a pro at catching flying plants!! that is essentially what a bouquet is to me!


we danced our butts off, laughed, high fived, played with adorable kids, met families, hashed about old times. it was all lovely. but the best part was that it took place in a garden. so while i was trying to be all friendly and make conversation, i couldn't help but notice how large the foxtail agaves were or that jade plants and sword ferns were growing so harmoniously side by side in the shade. i wondered when things were planted and why. delighted in the classic los angeles palm tree lined skies sprinkled with little lights. gardens are happy places. the wedding took place at the hidden chateau in woodland hills, cali. if you are feeling wedding ready, check them out here.






and here is my dancing fool of a partner in crime looking extra mad men-ish but with moves!

hello hitched - plant piles

i am finally posting my photos from hitched at the ace hotel in palm springs. its about time! i posted more on my other blog, squirrel hobbies. but here are my favorite plant moments - naturally i reserve the plant love for the terri planty blog lands!
speaking of plants, britt of tending to it is a true master. the lady created an amazing table display of a dripping succulent cluster! so gorgeous. i am so inspired. she also collaborated with jamie of desert fete and created a sweet diorama of a desert scene, mini plants included!
there were lots of gorgeous displays of old vintage bottles, terrariums and air plants hanging out on piles of old books and such. in the "grooms lounge" casually displayed succulents hung out with snazzy leather shoes.
all in all the event was full of sweet details.
