Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️ Hope you are spending this day with someone special! 🤩 We plan to make best out of the celebratory family brunch with keto diet and alcohol restrictions 🙈 and hopefully relax for the rest of the day because 🤰🏻

Ahhhh, the Valentine’s Day weekend is a-a-lmost here! Yay! 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 But before we hit the full celebration mode, I wanted to do some form of Friday introduction today and give you a little bts tour into our new brand Fleur Avenue Events - the wedding planning, design, and floral studio - and our branding process 🤩
We went through one of our initial branding stages with Kadie with and couldn’t be happier about the outcome ✨✨✨ Kadie created a perfect logo suite and other graphic design components for Fleur Avenue. It truly reflects the aesthetics of the brand and speaks to our ideal client.
Our main logo combines three (!) font variations. If you are a graphic designer, you know it can be challenging to create a cohesive and visually appealing look once you start adding variety of elements to design process🤔 Kadie did absolutely amazing job translating the overall brand’s style, our origins concept, and brand values into the customized and tailored look, just like the experience our clients will have with the studio 🪄 Simply magic! 🪄
Translating our vision for the brand, the logo concept is elegant and luxurious, an upscale editorial style that matches the tone of Fleur Avenue’s design and styling. This look feels very relevant to the wedding industry, while adding a bit of sophisticated, high-end flair without looking too formal and unapproachable. Different components of the logo suite are both classic and modern elements that make this perfect first impression and connection point with our potential clients from the beginning.
Swipe along to see a modern monogram sub-logo and classic hand drawn rose illustration that we can’t wait to use in our digital and print collateral, merchandise, and just about anywhere ☺️ Happy Friday! ✨

Weddings at private residences have been a highlight and really favorite work last year 😍 They aren’t big in attendance - 50-60 people, but such big celebrations at heart 🍾🍾🍾 and very detail oriented 👌 We will be working on a few of these celebrations in 2021 as well and are truly excited to bring all the beautiful detail for our couples to life 😍 When all the intentionally curated pieces come together on a wedding day, it is such a rewarding experience for a couple, their families and friends, and all the people who contribute to the beautiful day ✨ Lots of work but still very rewarding ✨ Cheers to the intimate weddings and couples who know how to celebrate big regardless of anything! 👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️🥂 I admire you and give you a big round of applause for not giving up on celebrating your way 👏👏👏

Pinks-and-peaches color palette is a very popular choice for spring weddings 🌸🌺🌸 With so many of my favorite blooms available in spring, I’m so looking forward to create for our May couples 👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️ right after I come back from the maternity leave. Ranunculus, sweet peas, peonies, frittaria, bearded iris, spirea - the list goes on 😍 If you are still looking for a florist for your wedding in May and want to take advantage of most beautiful seasonal blooms, we would love to hear from you ✨✨✨ We still have availability for one event this May. Let’s connect! 🌸🌺🌼

Are holidays over for you? 🎄🎁❄️⛄️✨ Not quite for our family 🌟 We absolutely love New Year’s and looking forward to it🍾 ✨🤩 We have a trip planned in a few days and leaving the Christmas tree up for another week or two 🎄 I promised to share my thoughts about the branding session for the new venture launching in 2021, which I had at the beginning of December. However, I’m still not quite in the work mode 😅
P.S. Can you tell I’m six months pregnant on this image 🤰🏻? Even though I absolutely love my baby bump and very proud of it, it is not necessarily a part of the new brand 😂 Angela Elise Photography had to be creative and intentional with shot angles and my posing to make sure it was not showing 🙈 And that’s the skill by itself, don’t you think 📸👏✨ Happy Monday to you! ✨✨✨

2020 is almost over, and we are preparing ourselves for a lot of good work in 2021 ✨✨✨ Besides actual weddings we are thrilled to finally bring to life for the couples that have been through so much this year, we are rebranding and reworking our offerings for couples 👰🤵🏻 2020 helped us realize our true passion and potential 🌟 Floral design will still be one of our core services 🌸 But there will be so much more of what we can help with newly engaged couples 🌟 The new brand name and brand design work will be revealed late January, but the full brand launch won’t happen until May. Things are moving slowly, but we are surely making big progress one step at a time 🙏 Especially, with another addition to our family 👶🏻 making appearance early March, we are definitely not in rush 😅 We are working with an amazing team of true professionals to help us rebrand, and the result will be worth the wait 🤩🍾👌

Inspiration board from the recent branding session with the amazing and super talented , which we can’t wait to share with the world very soon!
