Winter Love

Red is the color of love and love is what a wedding is all about. What better colors to have than white to represent the beauty of a new beginning, brown to represent the start of a new season, and red for the passion of things to come. Great colors for a winter wedding are green and red, or white and silver. My favorite color is red so I wanted to create something that wasn't necessarily conventional but still illustrated a love two individuals have for each other. This is definitely a wedding scheme for no one other than a romantic. 

Red has such an intensity that it can easily over power anything, but by only using it subtly you can acquire the full scale of romance and charm. If you decide to use such a strong tone as red, then an ivory wedding dress is a must have. The combination of an ivory dress and a bouquet full of different red hues compliment each other wonderfully without taking over the bride. My inspiration for the center pieces was exactly what you see in winter. Everything is bear but it has a surreal beauty unlike any other season. Also, using the compilation of white linens allows you to have the perfect blend of everything that is romantic.

The Sunny Side of Weddings

When you think of a summer wedding, what do you see? The warm sun, a beautiful bride, and gorgeous flowers, of course! This summer why not make your flowers warm and happy like the sun? If you’re wondering where I’m going with all of this then you’ve maybe never heard of a Billy Ball flower.  Billy Ball’s are the perfect accessory to any bouquet or centerpiece and they will definitely put a smile on your face. If you’re looking for something quirky, fun and unforgettable then I say this flower is the perfect one for you!

And for that bride on a budget why not pair up some hydrangeas, white or green, with little Billy Balls adding that pop of brightness! Like the sun peaking through the clouds.

The Walk Down One Green Street on their Grand Opening Day !

We were so honored to be a part of this true case study  of green co-working at it's best. When Sherry and Dave Eichberger had the foresight and passion to create Houston’s first organic lifestyle destination, they came to New Living,http://www.newliving.net/  a green home + building epicenter for all things green to make their vision come to life. A short 10  months later, One Green Street was opening it's doors thanks to the swift build of Joseph Fowler of Forrest Custom Construction http://forrestcustomconstruction.com/. Interior Designer Saba Jawda fashioned the store with a soft palette of grays, blues and taupes, creating a beautiful background to merchandise.

From the moment of the ribbon cutting, to the end of the day, One Green Street was the place to be. As the doors opened, guests were greated with warm welcomes and smiling faces anxious to share all the green treasures that they have to offer. There was a warmth and happiness like no other grand opening that I have ever experienced.


Guests enjoyed perusing among the four quadrants of the store, Whole Body, where Shirley and Mimi of W3LL People provided mini makeovers and introductions to their fabulously long lasting, holistic beauty color line. At Full Circle Fashion, guests delighted in reading the Alot To Say messages on the shirts and undies made with recycled bottles. In the Healthy Home section, guests relaxed with massages, warmed up with EcoSmart Fireplaces and discovered hand picked organic, vintage or hand made treasures. Guests migrated to the Gathering Place to enjoy Green Light Martini’s, a signature cocktail developed by Dee of Dripping Springs Vodka and organic delights by Byrd’s Market.


For those ubber cool, eco-fashion and home design addicts, you have yet another reason to rejoice about shopping : At One Green Street, you will find over 70 lines of all that is good for you and the planet too at the brick and mortar store and online at : www.onegreenstreet.com

Keep posted for many upcoming events including the Alot To Say on Valentine’s Day on February 13th.

Take a walk down One Green Street. You will be glad you did.
