Jewel Tones at the Wildflower Center

It’s coming up quickly, but I figured I should post this before it’s already passed! Next Friday we’re due for a group collaboration down at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center here in Austin for a jewel-hued affair that is both a mix of neutrals and dramatic spots of color. The couple are Arizona-transplants and there was a certain kind of palette that followed them from their home state [something I realized a little after the fact] — especially reflected in the inspiration painting found on the board below.

My favorites, The Nichols are going to be shooting the affair, with Merveille on board for the flowers, Aimee Villa from Lizze Belle Event Planning holding down the planning fort, and some fall-inspired goodness from Sugar Mama’s to end off the night on a sweet note.
