Library Themed Baby Shower

Last weekend we hosted a baby shower at Ashley's home for her good friend Vargo.  We fell in love with the Martha Stewart Book Themed Invitation Suite and used is as a springboard for the design of the shower! Guests were invited to bring a book in place of a card to help build the library for baby Aubrey!  A bookplate was included in the invite to write a sweet sentiment to the baby and place in the book.  We can't wait to meet baby Aubrey!

Spring Accessories



If you are looking to incorporate fresh spring accents into your wedding or event, we have plenty of lovely bird cages!  Below is an example of how Something Special in Flowers created a gorgeous table display with two of our metal cages.

We also have several of these more modern, white cages available to rent for your event.  Don't they look lovely in the Gardens?

New Year & New Things To Come!

Hello friends and fans!  We hope you are all enjoying the New Year!  We have some exciting things on the horizon for 2013 and just wanted to update you on a few things going on with Recollection.

-We are no longer in our Greenbriar location.  While it was sad to leave the cozy and beautiful space we created, it was a change we needed to make.  Please bear with us while we transition into a new studio space, hopefully soon!  We promise not to disappoint!

-In the meantime we will not be able to offer Sitting Pretty or Venue rentals but we absolutely love this service and plan to be able to bring it to you in a bigger and better way!

-We are still offering the same inventory rental and styling services so please drop us a line and see how we can meet your needs!  We will be unveiling new items soon!

Thanks for being so amazing! 

Cheers!

Gardens of Bammel Lane Fall Open House

Last week at this time we were having a ball at the Gardens of Bammel Lane's fall open house!  It was such a beautiful night and an incredible line up of vendors.  We love showcasing our inventory at this darling venue and were so excited to show off our mint green mantle in a "mock ceremony" set-up.  Carol and the Something Special in Flowers team blew us away, as usual, with their beautiful floral designs.  Thank you to Ashley from Two Be Wed for organizing the open house and for the Gardens of Bammel for letting us be a part of it!

Vintage Camping Family Session

Hello Lovelies and Happy Monday :-)  We have a very special family session to share.  It is always a treat to get to work with vendors on styling their personal photos because we already know they will come to the table with awesome ideas!   Christa Elyce did not disappoint when she came up with an idea for a fall family camping session incorporating plaids and s'mores!  We provided the tents and props for the shoot and Christa Styled her family perfectly!  Aren't they all just precious?!  Oh, and to top it off Kimberly Chau was the amazing photographer who captured this sweet session!  Enjoy!

Bon Fleur

Last Thursday we hosted a lovely group of floral enthusiasts at the studio for the Bon Fleur Seminar

We spent the night mixing and mingling with old and new friends, eating french sweets, and amongst the incredibly gorgeous floral designs of Houston's own Something Special in Flowers!  Welcome to the photo recap of the event captured by the fabulous Sarah McKenzie!

Guests were greeted at the door by our vintage bicycle overflowing with lucious florals!  A taste of what was waiting inside!

We handmade booklets of floral tips and displayed them in our French market basket

Our schoolhouse chalkboard displayed an array of lovely blooms identified by name and meaning!
