one of our fave floral designs

The simplicity of this arrangement makes it one of our all-time favorites. We designed it for an event in Midtown with Special Events. Taziki's of B'ham catered and are opening an eatery here in May. Check out our FB page. for more pics from the event.

orchids and lilies

Not your typical orchids and lilies! Orange Mokara and Mini Dark Pink Callas made it through the weekend's five events and are happily brightening our office.
In other news, we've been working on a charming little DIY project this evening for a ladies garden club presentation tomorrow. Can't wait to share it on the blog!

snow day

We don't get to take a snow day today, but have had a pleasant morning enjoying Tuscaloosa in whiteout. The weather has our flowers for the weekend held up in Memphis, but isn't it beautiful?

We started our day with coffee, Krispy Kreme and Karis (our go-to girl at Special Events). She's moving and shaking this new and elegant branch of Game Day Tents event rental empire. Without a doubt, their team is our first choice in Ttown for tents, tables, chairs, heaters, fans and the like.

In the meantime, we've been taking VDAY flower orders...it's not too late! Call us today 205 464 0488.

florida friday

A snapshot from last Friday. Matt Clinton Designs intern Karrie fearlessly guides two grand arrangements to the Sky Boxes before the Florida game. Gorgeous red roses, white dendrobium orchids and palms...we added towering red ginger to the arrangements on site. It's a feat to get the large-scale arrangements up to the boxes, but they make quite an impression on football fans. If you've got a Sky Box or a tail gate that needs a fresh edge for homecoming, feel free to give us a call!

bamboo is back

Matt Clinton Designs' best-seller is back. A new shipment of Bamboo candles from Nest arrived at the shop this morning. We'll be sending out a few to place in powder rooms for private events this weekend. If you're entertaining this weekend - or just need a fresh scent for your home - come by and pick one up ASAP!

biz lunch

We met with the team behind Game Day Tents at Cypress Inn to brainstorm on some ideas for the fall and wedding season. To our delight, we learned that they are expanding their event rental inventory and have tents, seating, staging, bar tables, industrial fans (for the summer soirées), space heaters (for those few chilly evenings in Alabama), and much much more. They also shared that they are working with Cypress Inn on a tented outdoor entertainment space that you can rent for parties and weddings (it will be located on the left side of the image above, next to the restaurant). There are lots more details to come, but it's an awesome resource for a few weddings and events we have on the horizon.

*As a side note, we love to work with local vendors , because more times than not, they have a level of personable sensitivity that you just don't get from big chains – especially when it comes to rental companies!
