The greenhouse of our dreams! Using varied shapes from our bamboo pendant collection and spring greenery to create a floating garden above the dance floor and the sweetheart table. We think these made the perfect airy and dimensional ceiling scape for B + E's wedding. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

If you're an 805 Local, you might have seen this in the sky last night! We paid tribute to the 23 lives lost in the 2018 Montecito Mudslide, by lighting up the sky in this year's “Raising Our Light” event, hosted by the Santa Barbara Bucket Brigade. We were honored to be a part of this 6th annual event to share time and space with a community that all holds our hearts. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
