Harvest of Hope Produce Styled Event

September 24, 2019

Over the last six years, the Catholic Charities organizes a Harvest of Hope fundraiser to support their programs and services to provide help and create hope for those in the greatest of need. We were thrilled to conceptualize and craft the design of this fantastic charity event last year! It was a pleasure to help honor the individuals within the Bakersfield community who have continuously supported Harvest of Hope. And to play a small role in assisting the raising of funds for the Catholic Charities beneficial programs to continue!

For the overall event design, we wanted to incorporate local produce that would be donated to the Bakersfield Food Bank after the evening’s festivities. Subtle details of soft burlap runners, pistachio tinted antique glassware, gold chargers and grass-colored linens placed on farm tables were incorporated to accentuate our design. These elements, along with our bright floral arrangements, allowed harvest like apples, grapes, carrots, cabbage and more to pop off the tablescapes.

We cannot say enough kind things about Catholic Charities’ Harvest of Hope event! And, we invite you to take a moment to save the date for their 2019 fundraiser by learning more here. Thank you to In Motion Pro for helping us share some of our favorite moments!

Colorful Peruvian Birthday Party!

September 10, 2019

What’s better than a birthday celebration? One that also includes a housewarming as well as welcoming a new daughter-in-law to her West Coast family!

When we were asked to bring Dr. Bustamante’s vision to life for him and his wife, Laura, for their party, we couldn’t wait to start planning! The inspiration for their event stems from Dr. Bustamante’s Peruvian background. Our team embraced the rich culture by incorporating his collection of natural world artifacts matched with Laura’s colonial home décor style.

One of our favorite details is the clay-colored, watercolor table runners that hosted our whimsical succulent creation in a muted golden bowl. By using colorful blooms in the form of cymbidiums, orchids, and orange dahlias, we enhanced the theme with floral arrangements placed throughout their home and outdoor poolside space.

A big thank you to the Bustamante family for trusting Flourishing Art with your event and floral design!

Tropical Style Family Luau

August 27, 2019

Grab your passport, because we’re taking you to the tropics!

We cannot think of a better way to kick off a new school year than the Aloha Dance at Garces Memorial High School! But, before the party begins, one family invites all students, and their parents to an ohana-style celebration that has been a tradition for the last six years. Since this was the last year the family would host the luau they really wanted to go over the top. By doing so, we made their guests feel as though they stepped onto a Hawaiian island!

For the design concept, we wanted to create a tropical oasis! The family pool was filled with inflatable beach balls, and an oversized, bright pink flamingo float. Our team used imported lush flowers in cheerful pinks and vibrant corals to play off the variety of lime, kelly green, and palm leaf printed linens. Two of our favorite aspects of the party is the mocktail tiki bar with coconut cups and the prop-filled photo booth!

We hope you enjoy viewing all of these colorful images provided by April & Co. Photographers as much as we enjoyed designing this family luau from top to bottom!

Heartfelt 100th Enns Farm Celebration

August 13, 2019

When the 100th anniversary of Enns Farm was getting near, Richard Enns wanted to plan a monumental celebration that honored the years of his family’s legacy. With the hard work humbly labored on their farm, through cotton, alfalfa, garlic, corn, black-eyed peas, and, for the last 24 years, almonds, a party would be a perfect tribute.

Sadly, the year leading up to the event, Mr. Enns passed away. Nevertheless, his wife, Bonnie, and son, Jonathan carried his dream of a party that would commemorate the decades of farming and Mr. Enns life. When our team was asked to aid in the event plans and floral design, it became our mission to pour our heart and soul into this gathering for the Enns family. By taking advantage of the endless array of antique farm equipment collected over the decades, we designed each display by hand. We also created wildflower arrangements in tin “vases” placed on bright, cobalt table linens and mason jar floral installations.

Thank you to In Motion Pro for helping us share a few of our favorite moments from the day, and thank you to the Enns family for entrusting us with your event logistics and design!

Jewel-Tone Outdoor Wedding: Madellyn & Blaine

July 23, 2019

It wouldn’t come as a surprise to us if Madellyn and Blaine’s wedding could influence the next Met Gala theme because their vegetable-studded affair with a jewel-toned palette is the quirky and elegant affair perfect for the red carpet!

We’ll be the first say that we are over-the-moon that jewel-toned color palettes are back in style for the 2019 wedding season, and we’ve never witnessed a couple to pull off the theme with such sophistication as Madellyn and Blaine!

Their Democrat Hot Springs affair featured pops of locally sourced radishes, carrots, and eggplants hidden throughout the event’s décor including Madellyn’s bouquet and the geode-lined reception tablescapes. What are our favorite elements of the big day? It has to be the overall neoclassic design of French-style chairs lined with soft white linen combined with the juxtaposition of the playful tee-pees that we filled with velvet tufted pillows.

Congratulations to Madellyn and Blaine! Thank you for allowing us to design, plan, and coordination your grand event!

Barn-Style Birthday Soiree

July 2, 2019

There are birthday celebrations, and then there is Barbara’s birthday celebration! Her soiree was outfitted in rose gold, lace, and mercury glass details that ooze eloquence in a barn venue setting. Did we mention that she gifted each of her sweet guests a box of champagne gummy bears? Oh, yes!

We were able to design the understated, graceful arrangements in the form of sherbet-colored ranunculus, blue sea holly, daring white rose, and silky Dusty Miller. Our entire team cannot tell you enough how much we adore textured colonial blue and lace linens at the dining table paired with the life-like bloom-filled linens that cascaded the seating outside of All Seated in a Barn. Could this be the ultimate #BirthdayGoals? We think so!

Thank you to April & Co. Photography for sharing these ultra-fun photos with us!
