Earlier this August, I had the pleasure of providing a whimsically elegant floral design table scape for a delightful vendor soirée at Heritage Farm in Long Beach. This event, masterfully coordinated by the talented Sierra James Events, brought together some of the most creative and inspiring professionals in the local industry. It was truly a night to remember!

The Venue: Heritage Farm

Heritage Farm is a gem in Long Beach, offering a charming and rustic backdrop that perfectly complements the elegance and creativity of events like this one. The farm's timeless beauty, with its lush greenery and charm, provided the perfect canvas for our floral creations. I absolutely love working at this venue, I knew the space would inspire something truly magical.

The Floral Design

The floral arrangements for this soirée embodied the essence of summer elegance with a touch of whimsy. I used delicate cosmos and Queen Anne’s lace to add a sense of lightness and natural beauty, while the vibrant super green hanging amaranth introduced a dramatic element that captivated attention. To elevate the elegance, I draped the tables with cascading green grapes and added pearled pears, creating a luxurious and refined look. These carefully curated elements came together to create a breathtaking display that perfectly captured the sophisticated, yet inviting atmosphere of a summer evening at Heritage Farm.
