Nicknames


The Perfect Petal is a family of floral designers, event solutions managers, production engineers and more! Like all happy families we have nicknames for each other, not-so-private jokes, "long stories"
and trusty tools. Our designers have long been referred to as
"Petals", coined by the Highland neighborhood peeps years ago. The large cooler is the "Silver Bullet" that store our floral masterpieces. Either "Junior", "Whitey" or "Stinky" is assigned to the production engineer teams as their delivery vehicle for an event set up. Therefore, on any given day, if you hear someone call out from the back boutique , "Hey, Petal! While you're in the Silver Bullet, will you please grab the Smith order and load it into Whitey? Rest assured... this is normal for our family.

Also a member of The Perfect Petal family and nicknamed by her grandmother, is Sookie. She is an artist and jewelry maker who works with different types of clay designing bright and fun collections of various western-inspired pieces. Because Sookie Sookie jewelry is handmade from start to finish, no two pieces will ever look exactly the same. This 'happy' jewelry line makes people feel good when wearing it, so come and see for yourself!

Join our family tomorrow for 3rd Thursday!
Stop by for an evening featuring the bold and delightfully different handmade clay jewelry by artist and designer Sookie Sookie.
September 17th
5pm - 8pm

What is your nickname? Since you are a part of our family, we would love to know!

Turning 13






The Bar / Bat Mitzvah marks the 13-year old Jewish boy or girl’s rite of passage into adulthood. First, let’s understand what the words "Bar or Bat Mitzvah" actually mean. The phrase translates as "son or daughter of commandment". In other words, the young person becomes responsible to observe the commandments of the Torah.

Using a personalized theme can be a wonderful way to spice up a Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah celebration without taking away from the meaningful and spiritual experience that the ceremony brings. The Perfect Petal recently used a creative and uniquely designed theme that expressed the enjoyable personality and distinctive interests of one particular young man – Elliot! A modern urban environment design including brightly colored customized street signs, gobo lights and car accessories created an energetic and memorable festive environment. Follow the signs to The Perfect Petal for unique Bar / Bat Mitzvah décor ideas!

A Little Less Buzz??





If you have recently visited The Perfect Petal floral and gift boutique, you may have noticed that our floral and event designers, who are normally busy like bees working feverishly around one another, are no longer bumping into each other to produce their creative work in our snug garden.

The Perfect Petal has grown and we are excited to have blossomed into our new event production facility! The 32nd Avenue storefront continues to produce daily and weekly floral orders, so feel free to stop in and smell the flowers anytime. The new event production facility is now home to a spacious and efficient creative mecca where décor and floral for special events, weddings, mitzvahs and more are shaped from original conceptions to fresh and fabulous visual personal presentations.

A little less…. is whole lot more!

It's all happening!

This last month has been busy, busy, busy in Wedding and Event world! We've been consulting, designing, setting up, installing, and takin names!

Highlights:

The Denver Museum of Nature and Science unveiled it's new Health Exhibit on Friday night and The Perfect Petal had a marvelous time with the decor.

We used concentrations of zuchini, orange and yellow bell peppers, and key limes to spice up the table florals, and fun uplighting and fabric in the ceiling to complement the party's healthy theme.


Grand Marnier and Navan Mixology Summit, Vail 2009

This event was a blast! The petal put together modern clusters of white vases with kumquats, flame orange calla lilies and orange mokara orchids, to compliment a room of lush white draping, contemporary white furniture and brilliant warm lighting.




Saturday April 4th was the Hoops and Hoopla event at INVESCO Feild at Mile High. The event is a "Fans night out of Food, Fun and the Men's College Basketball Semifinals" ans benefits National Jewish Medical and Research Center.
We had a lot of fun conceptualizing the table decor for this great event.

Centerpeices used basketballs submerged in glass cubes with playful white florals and a yellow sweatband.



Tall buffet peices where dressed in black and white striped referee uniforms...

...whistle and all.
So Cute!!

Celebrating Caluna Events 5th Anniversary in style!

Colorado Meetings and Events 2009 Readers Choice Awards!!

Monday night at Infinity Park Event Center was the annual Readers Choice Awards Ceremony, put on by Colorado Meetings and Events Magazine.

"The Best Of awards are designed to honor the cream of the crop in the regional meetings and events industry. We achieve this by giving the power to determine the winners solely to the readers— every vote in each category is influential and important to determine the final winner."

"Every single winner in the annual Readers' Choice Best Of Award campaign is hand-picked by the meeting planners, event planners and suppliers who read Colorado Meetings + Events magazine."



It was a great night for the Petal. We were honored to be nominated in the Event Decor/Floral category.




And, even more exciting, our very own Luc Hughart, Event Designer Extraordinaire, was being inducted into the Colorado Meetings and Events Hall of Fame for Up and Coming Supplier. (!!!) We are all so excited and proud of him for all his achievements!






We put together some very playful and modern centerpieces for the event, using black branches and lime green florals...



...with peacock feathers and teal wire accents.

And then there was the food...

Oh, the food!!
