Hope you all are enjoying the holiday season! As 2012 approaches we look toward the next season and what Spring will bring. Along those thoughts, we've been inspired lately by a color that we think bridges the holiday crave for sparkle and the need for the soft tones of spring...
You may call this color peach or nude or a mix of pale pinks and apricots, whatever you call, we love it!
Here's a bit of end of season sparkle mixed with the fresh face of the coming spring... enjoy!

Love is Sweet... the Video

We recently did the florals and event design for Dessert Darling's (Jenny Alden) wedding. It was full of bright colors, delicious details and whimsical design. Jenny just sent us this beautiful film of the wedding and the intimate moments leading up, all shot by Aqua Vivus... such a wondeful way to capture your one big day and enjoy it for years to come. Check out Jenny's blog for more posts about her wedding. 

Bébé

It is so fun to throw a baby shower! We love the whimsy and bright colors that come to play in a party for a little one to be. Even better, we love throwing a party when mama has a great eye for color and design! This shower we threw for one of our closest and most talented friends... Viola of Chewing the Cud. Her little girl Maika is now a toddler, but we love the look and detail of this shower. Its bright pinks paired with pops of orange and modern patterns will excite and entertain all your guests... its definitely not the kind of shower our moms had for us!!!!

We played up the idea of the circus for the theme of this event... from shape and color to elephant silhouettes, the inspiration for this was fun and a little wild! Check out more pics and the original post on Hostess (with the Mostess) Blog.

... and here's our bébé... Maika :)

Peonies for the Weekend!

Gearing up for two weddings this weekend. The first of which is all about peonies, pinks, whites, and classic femininity. The studio has been full of the finest peonies of the season, all in various states of bloom and in every shade of pink! We've been pairing them with white hydrangea, pale pink roses and green and white verbinum. Here are a few sneak peak pics... more to come this weekend!!!!
Happy Friday!

Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is the perfect day for us to give our heartfelt gratitude to all of our amazing clients, vendors, family and friends. Thank you all so much for making Atelier Joya what it is today and for being part of our lives.

Fun Find: Kokeshi Doll Gift Bags

I have been seeing kokeshi dolls pop up everywhere these days. I just came across these kokeshi doll gift bags and I had to share them with you. They are absolutely adorable & super affordable. I could see them incorporated into so many different types of parties...a children's tea party, a sushi party, an around the world event. They could be used simply as a party favor bag, or why not set them up as a collection on a mantlepiece, or have them line the middle of a table serving as a centerpiece. You could play off the fun colors in the design of the bags with a color palette of soft pink, brighter pink, a soft buttery yellow and an accent of black.  I love that they are made of 100% recycled hand made paper consisting of cotton fabric remnants with traditional silk screen printing. Pretty amazing.

Spring is not over yet!!

I am starting to think that I have a Ranunculus obsession! Whatever floral creation I come across, I can't seem to keep my hands off of those beautiful flowers!! I know the season for them will end soon but Spring is not over yet and I will keep creating Ranunculus arrangements until then.
