Oh Christmas Tree

Merveille — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:24:13 +0000

The holidays are here! We just finished up one of our favorite client installations for Christmas and we are in love with the mix of metallics used for this elaborate tree and mantle design. All it took was tons of gold, silver, and copper mercury glass, 100 yards of velvet ribbon, and thousands of tiny twinkling lights! Santa just may not want to leave after he climbs down this chimney!

Roughing It

Merveille — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 19:27:17 +0000

Sometimes a little rough around the edge is a good thing. For this casual, outdoor Bar-B-Que at The Salt Lick, we combined a few rough elements and with scented herbs, textural succulents, native cacti, and soft candle lit lanterns to create a relaxed, country setting. Rusted recycled tin cans, votive candles wrapped in old screen door netting, weathered charcoal zinc planters, long neck beer bottles, and woodsy birch and oak stumps were all perfect materials for the this laid back Texas feast. We hope the guests enjoyed the decor as much as they enjoyed the food!

Good Clean Fun

Merveille — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 19:17:48 +0000

When an oh so fun bride of ours asked us to create a design for her wedding reception that was modern and clean yet full of vivid color and texture, we jumped at the opportunity to play! With a color palette of saffron, fuchsia, and amethyst, we knew that we had to color block the design elements. Since she loved texture, we chose distinct varieties of floral in each of these rich shades and kept them in single style groupings that were arranged in simple yet dramatic combinations. Vibrant sea glass, colored water, and bright floating candles all added pops of fun to the tables while still remaining clean and modern. The result was nothing short of good clean fun.

Falling for Fall

Merveille — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 01:35:00 +0000

Fall is upon us and what better way to get inspired than by looking back at one of our favorite fall weddings from last year. I am in love with the rich hues and varying textures. A bit of rustic, a touch of woodsy, a hint of soft petals and romance….oh how I embrace the fall!

Lucite Love

Merveille — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 15:57:55 +0000

Nothing says sleek and modern to me more than lucite pieces. What exactly is lucite you ask? Lucite is a brand of high grade acrylic that is ideal to use for design pieces because it is easier to shape than glass and the scratches can be buffed out. Here at Merveille, our lucite candelabras, boxes and tables toppers are a great blank canvas to make your event modern, girly, or just plain fun.

Color of the moment YELLOW

Merveille — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 18:09:57 +0000

The weather is turning up and getting hot in Austin, TX. This bright sun and hot hot heat is making me see yellow everywhere. This is a great color to decorate with during the summer because it pops and can make your event more vivacious. So don’t be afraid to get creative with yellow and stay cool in this heat!

Some fun yellow flowers we used below: peonies, roses, kangaroo paw, coxcomb, pincushion proteas, spider mums, carnations and orchids.
