Eco friendly show

Cotton Mill

June Social

We are busy wrapping up our 2008  this December!  

We have done many exciting events including the Green Bridal Show that was organizd by Chelsea Dane with bride-associates. Chelsea is a great organizer and did a terrific job on setting up the show which took place at the texasdiscoverygardens.

We loved the idea of promoting green weddings and we really work hard to leave a clean foot print in our enviorment.  There are lots of non green friendly products used in the floral industry and we try to avoid them as much as we can. Here is some of what we do to help

Buy local when possible

We buy organically grown and pesticide free when it is available

We do not use floral foam unless absolutley necessary (it is loaded with hazerdous  chemicals) and flowers prefer clean fresh cold water

We do not use unnecessary packaging

We do not use unnecessary printing or print material

We recycle all our plastic, glass and reusable items

We even wash and re use our plastic bags

We do not add chemicals to any floral water

We recylce our water when possible

 

Basically if something can be reused, we do it.  If there is a new way of using a product that can make it orgainc we do it.  

In the pictues below we covered a round table with a celedon green lamour cloth from bbjlinen then we layered it with fresh organic wheat grass with hidden glass blocks that supported a glass table top that then supported our floral display.  After the bridal show we donated the fresh wheat grass to a creativecuisinegroup local green aspiring caterer for their use so it would not go wasted.

Wedding at The Cotton Mill in McKinney Texas

 

The Cotton Mill in McKinney, mckinneycottonmill is a beautiful resored histoic building in McKinney, Texas

 

You have to bring everything in for an event.  They simply supply the beautiful canvas fo you to work with.  For this bride’s wedding we used the the celedon lamour linen from www.bbjlinen.com and created a warm atmosphere by using a combination of hiboy cocktail tables, rounds and long tables that all surrounded the centered dance floor.  John with At Your Service Catering, ayscatering brought in the tables, food and beverage set up and created  a beautiful presentation.  mydallasdj did the music and sound.  We assisted the bride in pulling all her vendors together to create an  atmosphere that was warm, vintage and elegant.  Her flowers were vibrant summer green hydrangea, warm orange flame mini calla lily, two toned orangea and yellow Konfetti roses and graceful stems of curly willow branch.   We created tall and short flower designs, some submerged and connecting by wire, others submerged and topped with floater candles.
