The Petal and Field Floral Blog

Kay is one of those rare people you meet who exudes grace and elegance the moment they walk into the room. When she and I met initially to discuss her and John Lee’s day I was amazed by her vision and direction for her wedding day and how beautifully she and her mother worked together. […]

Café 43 at the Bush Library is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to design. Velma and her team are organized, gracious and helpful and every event runs smoothly here. I had the privilege of designing another rehearsal dinner in this space for a family from Austin looking to enhance the natural Texas setting […]

A dear family friend reached out to me to design her son’s rehearsal dinner and said ‘so the bride loves purple!’ We talked through a few plans but decided on a palette of true purple to magenta to lilac and lavender with rich textured greenery to create a luxe evening at Café 43 for their […]

Lemons! Lemons! Lemons! This past year was the year of the lemon 🙂 I had many many requests for themed parties with an Amalfi Coast vibe or one where the host wanted to incorporate live lemons.

When Ginna Wilbanks of The Scout Guide Dallas reached out to invite Petal and Field to be featured, I could not have been more thrilled! I grew up reading the Scout Guide in college and in my post college years and always admired its beautiful print format and perfectly curated local businesses, each with their […]

Kari and I met three years back as I have designed the florals for her foundation’s noprofit event for a few years. We have always had a great professional relationship and her attention to detail and organization are unsurpassed. When Kari reached out to me in regards to designing her wedding I was so honored […]

After my initial consult with Alex I knew this was going to be a favorite project of mine. Her calm and confident nature was truly impressive to me and their choice of venue with a modern, elegant all white look seemed like a perfect fit. The Artisan is a beautiful rooftop gardenesque venue tucked into […]

Beverly’s Dallas is a top spot for any celebration. The menu is amazing and it has a lighthearted and fun but upscale vibe. When my client Lara came to me about her husband’s surprise 40th birthday celebration, I could not wait to design in their private dining room. We agreed we wanted to keep the […]
