STEPHANIE GRACE Featured In-Store Product

This week, we thought we would spotlight some of our favorite candles, that we carry here at our store. Designer, Marianne Guedin has been praised in France for her hand-blown candles made of recyclable glass. For those of you that "go green" this is the ideal candle for you as well considering they use a natural wax and are considered "THE green" candle. The candles come in a variety of scents including Fig, Almond, Amber and Rose just to name a few. After you have burnt through the candle, you can easily re-use the container as well...re-use for votive candles, or use as a beautiful vase for flowers. Not only is the glass candle container beautiful but they also come packaged in a fun tin corresponding to the candle (perfect to cellophane for a gift!). Come pick our your favorite scent here at the store!

This wedding comes to you from the Colony Palms Hotel, in Palm Springs, CA. This end of spring wedding took place at a gorgeous time of the year. Not only were the guests able to escape for a warmer weekend get-away but the ambiance at that time of year was simply breath-taking. The outside ceremony and reception looked stunning with the sunset coming down on the palm trees and mountains. We also loved the color pallet that the couple decided on. We were able to have so much fun bringing in different shades of purple to the linens, with the flowers and other little details...Enjoy! and Congratulations again to Brooke and Marcus :)

The Thought That Counts

As many of you know, Stephanie Grace began specializing in event coordination, design and flowers. And after years of success, we figured..."why stop there?" Which now leads us to our current location and first retail store in Santa Monica. Our boutique homes unique tabletop merchandise and has just the gift for that person that "has everything."

Another aspect of our store are the daily flowers, along with our HUGE floral refrigerator sheltering our additional flowers for custom arrangements.

So this blog entry goes out to our daily flower customers...to the people that "stop and smell the roses"...and those that have purchased a single rose or stem of daisies. We always find joy in being apart of brightening the day of the special someone that receives the thoughtful gift. From the boyfriend that wants to welcome his girlfriend home with a pink rose, to a husband spontaneously remembering his wife's favorite flower, or the simple gesture for a good friend. It is truly the small things that count, and we are so glad people have not forgotten that :)

Sweet Lady Jane

So many sweet thoughts (pun intended) come from one of our favorite, Los Angeles based bakeries. Sweet Lady Jane never fails to tickle the taste buds with their imported chocolates, classic butter and cream and their use of in-season fruits. Whether you choose to go for a unique dessert like their chocolate tacos, a rich holiday masterpiece like one of their chocolate cakes, or a stunning wedding cake, you can't go wrong. This popular bakery has been featured in several media outlets and is a favorite among our Los Angeles celebrities.

If you get a chance to peruse their Website, you have to look at the "history" of the bakery. It is filled with so many fun photos of where they started and the renowned dessert destination they have become today.
