I had the pleasure of touring Chateau Nouvelle this past week and was so impressed with the beauty and excellence of every part of my visit - from the architecture and impeccable care given to all the details to the welcoming and knowledgeable staff who greeted me and assisted me on my personalized tour. Everywhere I looked was a picture perfect moment inside another picture perfect moment - a truly stunning venue operated with the care and attention that private ownership seems to excel at in this genre over corporate ownership. From an insider’s perspective, this is a game changer for selecting your venue. I am looking forward to flowering here this coming wedding season ✨Also - you need to go visit their website for a full visual tour because I didn’t even include the elegant reception space in my video - the marble floors and massive chandeliers with all the amazing views were too distracting and I forgot to video because I was oo-ing and ah-ing 😅
A special graduation party for a special family - It is always an honor to be a part of big life moments for families - I’ve known Grace since she was little and now she is going to Yale 🎓 Side note - her mom gave me three prints from @libertyfabrics as inspo and said I trust you - I love when I hear these three little words and I always over deliver because I’m not worrying about anything but the overall look that stays in a realistic budget - thanks Amy for being amazing 🤩 Also, thanks to the ladies @chandlersevents for all your help!
Yesterday’s rehearsal dinner at The Historic Hillhouse was so fun for me to create! I love rehearsal dinner florals because it’s usually the groom’s family who are in charge of this part of the wedding weekend extravaganza. Designing florals a little more masculine, but still very floral has great results - especially when they go so well with the venue/restaurant/space 🙌🏻Remember! Florals are an experience just like the dinner, drinks and laughs had during this event. They are not something you physically own, but something you enjoy in the moment and remember for years 🫶🏻
Caroline & Ryan | | April 6, 2024 Spring has some of the best florals available and Caroline took full advantage of this seasonal luxury. She also tapped into what is my favorite Petal & Stem style - floral frog designed florals! Thank you to @mayeshhouston and @poppyleighfloral for providing beautiful and fresh florals for us to design this wedding with. Florists are like chefs in that we design experiences - the quality of our ingredients affects the quality of our end results 🌸 🧑🍳 Venue, Catering, Bar, Accommodations | @historichillhousePlanning & Design | @lncweddingsPhotography | @redfieldphotoFloral Design | @petalandstembyjenEntertainment | @itsdjbrayCake & pies | @woodscakerybakeryHMU | @glowandgraceartistryPaper Goods | @finedaypressColored Linens | @bbjlatavolaColored Glassware | @grandsrentalsBridal Attire | @ticbridalHand Dyed Silk Ribbon | @honeysilksco
Cheers to our 2023 weddings and events! Attempted a highlight reel and was not able to get all our events on here, but you get the gist - ha!We are so thankful for each and every one of our clients (and vendor friends) who trusted us with their big day - cheers to you and yours and happy freaking new year!!!
Petal and Stem is now officially offering local delivery and pick up floral arrangements for our hometown of New Waverly, TX !!!
It’s been almost 6 years since I nervously offered flower bouquets from the back of my husband’s 1950 International sky blue truck in front of Honeys Coffee. Something I started as a “what if” has become a business - one that has been focused on weddings that, for the most part, happen outside of our town. I love the wedding floral side of this business, but my original mission statement stated that I wanted to serve the flower needs of people in my area. So it is with great pride that I can finally achieve this portion of my founding goals. My local goals now include providing a much needed service to our area while employing local people to help and serve. That is the catalyst for @petalandstemlocal 🌟
@petalandstembyjen will remain our wedding division and is what I like to call our “black tie/white glove”service level - hence the black and white label with the “by Jen” label. Petal and Stem Local harkens to our origin story on the back of my old blue truck and is about local, consistent service from a local team serving our local community - hence the blue label. I am thankful to all who have supported this business over the years and am excited to finally embark on this new venture. Check out our new digs at @petalandstemlocal
Scenes from this weekend’s wedding - Lindy is the reason I even started doing flowers - the first arrangement I nervously made, once this dream of doing flowers began, was for her coffee shop’s grand opening. Her flowers have always been yellow in my mind so incorporating several different projects we have done through the years into one event was fun and rewarding to create. Lindy dwells in the land of possibilities and positivity - she is a bright, shiny, fun-loving confident person who makes great espresso and conversation. Her bold and non-apologetic approach to life and business has been inspiring to this once very insecure, who-do-I-think I am friend of hers that is now a full-blown wedding florist who creates and delivers with confidence. Cheers Lindy 🥂
This lower humidity (even though it’s still hot hot) day has me thinking a little teensy bit about Fall - The Bordlees choose a perfect jewel tone color palette, perfect venue and perfect photographer for their big day and I can’t help but smile when I look back at these gorgeous images from this beautiful day 🌾🍂🌿Photographer: @sweetnestphotography Venue: @historichillhouse Wedding planner: @lncweddings HAMU: @adorneartistry Florals: @petalandstembyjen DJ: @j.a.entertainment
One of my favorite things to make with one of my favorite people playing guitar in the background (Otto Ot who, with his twin sister, is about to be 14 this month 😭)
interesting side story - this farmhouse table was the first thing we bought 14 years ago when we found out we were having twins. We had a 2.5 year old and a 15 month old 😳
Pick this little floral beauty up tomorrow at Honey’s Coffee Valentine’s Day Market from 9 to 1 🙌🏻
Valentine’s Day Orders are waiting for you before they sell out! This rain and cold is dead depressing so to bring a little sunshine to our area, we are offering 15% off at check out with the code SUNSHINE www.petalandstembyjen.com/shop
