Dream it. Draw it. Design it.

We were given the task of creating a styled concept from one object in this recently released Fall/Winter issue of The Brides of North Texas. Our one object, the gold Oro table from AFR Rentals. We pulled together an altar concept that is too die for if I must say so myself!! For our full service planning, our team can draw up most any dream our brides might have!! If you can dream it, we can draw it and then design it! Check out how this came to life with help of Posh Floral, Stephanie Brazzle Photography and the Nuvo Room!

Fine Art Styling by Grit + Gold

Fine art refers to a skill used to express the artist’s creativity, or to engage the audience’s aesthetic sensibilities, drawing the audience towards consideration of more refined or finer work of art. I love this shoot because it focuses on the small, somewhat inconspicuous objects and moments that pull the entire frame together.  The way she holds her veil or the crease in the table linen, all evoke a feeling, a setting, or experience.

Merry & Bright

As we near the end of another prosperous year, I can’t help but to reflect back at the first thoughts of what was to become Grit + Gold. It was created with love and passion for design but more importantly built around connecting with people. I believe that people are the greatest asset to this business. If it weren’t for clients, vendors and great support from those whom I love around me, it would not have flourished so much in just two little years. We have reorganized, reprioritized, and built a great brand. We have refocused on “who” our client is and “how” to market to them. We’ve spent countless hours looking over our work, understanding where we lack and committing to making improvements that will in turn make Grit + Gold stronger than ever in 2015. We are going to focus on cleaner designing in 2015 and more focus on business mindedness. Out with the wasted funds and in with larger profit margins. Ah and the art of saying “no”. We continue to be dedicated to quality and not just riding trends.

We are going to be built to last not just hype. No grit, no pearl. xoxo
