Ruby was the perfect spot for this party Thursday night, for a Texan who's retiring. They chose a rustic, yet refined Western theme.
The flowers I went with were Cherry Brandy roses (pink AND orange - my favorite), blue thistle for the Western vibe, green ball dianthus, pincushion protea for the cactus element, and yarrow in the large entryway arrangement and billy balls for the table centerpieces.
I loved the table set-up. Farmhouse, exposed wood, burlap runner, fun napkins. And the flowers in the cowboy boots was a special way to tie in the Texas connection.
Here are some up-closes of the boots. The protea were the perfect touch to these arrangements.
The food tables had vase arrangements. A view from the top:
