Be . Loved

In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours.

In all the world, there is no love for you like mine. - Maya Angelou

What does it mean to be loved? Is love a feeling, an action, a commitment, or an emotion? In the Greek language, there are multiple meanings and words that describe love: eros (romantic love), philia (brotherly love, storge (parental-family love), agape (selfless love), ludus (playful love), pragma (mature love), and philautia (self-love). For February, we have some thoughtful features on these different forms of love and thought you might love them too!

Eros Love | Romantic Wedding

This dreamy wedding scene featured at Devils Thumb Ranch combines soft and neutral tones in a variety of subtle colors from blush to warm grey-blue. The bride wore a strappy romantic wedding dress in creamy white, and the groom wore a light cream-blush suit to compliment her. We loved how these colors brought in the beauty of the surrounding landscape. These same tones are displayed within the reception table linens, florals, and tableware. To soften up the Timberhouse room, hide rugs, fur throws, and velvet pillows were placed in lieu of chair pads to add warmth to the dining table and thoughtful touches to the outdoor lounge. The tall floral statement piece is a combination of dried floral and fluffy floral blooms. Each stem was carefully selected for texture and tone to marry the overall look to perfection. For each place setting, we used the following items from our rental collection: Ora Hand Glazed Plate, Skandia Matte Gold Flatware, Rosa Wine & Water Glasses, Julius Mirror Glazed B&B Plate, Emma Ecru & Gold Bowl, Maxwell Gold Etched Coupe, and Blush Twist Coupe Glass. We hope you love the combination as much as we do.

Agape Love | Harriet

I recently watched the movie "Harriet", the story of heroic abolitionist Harriet Tubman. The screenplay shares her escape from slavery and the dangerous missions she led to liberate hundreds

of slaves through the Underground Railroad. The role of Harriet is played by Cynthia Ervio, nominated for best actress in 2020. I believe to appreciate the hardships of others, we must be able to see ourselves in their shoes and wonder, how would I respond? I highly recommend you watch this movie. It's very compelling on so many levels and a perfect example of Agape Love.

Directed by Kasi Lemmons | Nominations - Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role | Producers - Gregory Allen Howard, Debra Martin Chase, Daniela Taplin Lundberg | Screenplay by Kasi Lemmons, Gregory Allen Howard

Philia Love | Border Wall Seesaw

I love this expression of creativity and community wrapped in this very clever art installation. Can you imagine the conversations that took place between the bars that were meant to create division?
