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.

workin' for the weekend

Home game weekends are a reminder of how lucky we are to be in business in Tuscaloosa. If the traffic on campus doesn't deter our friends and clients from coming to the shop on a Thursday or Friday before the Tide plays in Bryant Denny, they're sure to find us working on floral arrangements bound for private parties, UA events, fraternity and sorority houses, Sky Boxes and, last but not least, tailgating tents on the Quad.

We're in our second season working with the stellar team at Game Day Tents to bring their clients a fresh approach to top-notch tailgating. Each home game we get an early start to deliver flowers to the tents. And, although we're night owls over here at Matt Clinton Designs, there is nothing like the energy on a Saturday morning during football season to get us revved up for Fall. Roll Tide!

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!
