color board–yellow

When we think of yellow, we don’t always think of fall. We tend to think of spring and summer. Yet, yellow is there for fall! Yellow becomes more of an accent color during the fall season since red, brown, and orange are stronger and more demanding colors. But we just can’t do without it! So what about taking yellow into the spotlight for fall designs?

what we’re up to–anniversary terrarium

We were able to serve a special client two weeks ago who had his 25th wedding anniversary and wanted to do something way sweet for his wife. He didn’t want something really common (we really don’t do common here) so he was in the right spot. He said he liked plants and thought a terrarium would be cool. So this is what we came up with-

We placed two love birds in the bottom to symbolize their marriage. They were a perfect personal touch.

The terrarium was tied with a gorgeous celery green ribbon and a silver key. Silver is the traditional gift for 25 years of marriage so that was our twist on that tradition.

This terrarium was about 2.5 feet tall! It was stunning and one of our favorite designs we have done for an anniversary. From what we know, his wife was thrilled with it and it sits on her desk at work. Happy 25th Anniversary T&P!
