tablescapes: fresh designs at the double t

In quite a drawn out little blog series, I am so happy to finally be able to share the tablescapes and flowers of Angela Klotz, my most beautiful friend and super mom to 10 puppies right now . . . :)

Angela and I will finally be able to work together this year, which I'm terribly excited for because her flowers are magical, take-your-breath-away, and they photograph so beautifully . . . and while she calls herself Fresh Designs, don't be too fooled. Her designs are amazingly fresh, but they are equally as timeless.

Our shoot at the Double T River Ranch , as I've blogged before here and here, was a collaboration of one amazing chef, two photographers, three event planners, and two floral designers. Angela showed two completely different themes, two tablescapes that either would be a dream to sit down to.



See? Another beautiful table I would happily sit at and sip a mojito with my girlfriends :)



Location, location, location!



I absolutely love that Angela can take the most simple, popular flower and turn it into a completely unexpected, beautiful design . . .





I don't think there is a bad square foot of land at the Double T, but this girl knows exactly where to place her masterpieces so that the people who come to them enjoy the background and the light that Mr. Sun is giving off . . . this was Angela's second tablescape, and it blew everyone away. She brought in box after box of antique plates, stemware, silverware and vases and coordinated perfect little vintage flower arrangements.





I loooove these old, antique keys Angela incorporated into this setting . . . at her own wedding last summer, she had guests write their well-wishes on little notecards that were tied to old keys, and then all put into an old glass jar. And now she has all the keys to a perfect marriage :)





So many girls want a wedding designer and dream of tables set this way inside their reception . . . and I say, if you think about attempting it yourself, think just as hard about reaching out. There is a reason they are so good at what they do . . . I am not even going to point out how many things on those tables that were purchased at Michael's or an Etsy store. It's that they take what you want, within your budget, not theirs, and make something this beautiful. And if you have no idea where to even begin, they will blow your mind away with their creativity.

A huge thank you to the Double T for having us once again!
