First In Last Out Lighting

Petal Toss Exit - Nothing is more classic that a rose petal toss at the end of the night for the couple's exit. We "double dipped" with this idea. It acts as a pretty sign in table decor as well as a great spot for guests to come grab some petals for the bride and groom's exit.

I loved that we used lots of candlelight for the reception. It looked amazing! It also helped that we used pin-spot lighting on the tables to really showcase them. I always encourage lighting for every event. We also mixed up table sizes and used 36" rounds to 60" rounds to break up the room and give it some variety. Love this idea!

An Airstream Wedding - Three Points Ranch

Matt & Jamie's Wedding :: Round Mountain, TX

This is one of my most favorite weddings. I loved all the details that we came up with from custom labels to the catering team wearing unique Anthropologie aprons. Karen, Jamie's mom has amazing taste and provided all the centerpiece vessels for a mismatched chic look.

Sally at Three Points wonderful to work with!

It was one of the rainiest days this past spring - everything was soaked! Karen drove the girls down to the ceremony site ... more like SLID the whole way there! (I got Three Points Ranch's golf cart stuck in the mud - oops!!) She shifted into 4-wheel drive, but not until they did a few donuts! She said it was the "funnest" ride ever and didn't care about the rain anymore. Gotta love a great attitude!

Stacey and the Petal Pushers never cease to amaze me with their incredible talent. This bouquet is by far, one of the coolest-chic-funkiest I've seen.

Diggin' the different style boots to go with all the girls' unique personalities.

Yup - that's a kale (cabbage) in that aisle piece. Too cute!Because the distance from reception to ceremony site were far apart, we enlisted '57 chevies to courier the guests to and from the sites. Complete with comfy hay bales in the back!

As a suprise for Jamie & family, I rented vintage umbrellas in preparation for a rainy day. I think it completed the vision we were after as well as adding a little fun to an otherwise unfortunate weather situation.

Tami and her mom were so much fun to work with. They are the "O" in organized. I really loved that it makes my job easier to where I can focus on the fun stuff like decor! I really enjoyed assisting in the event design of this wedding. From the unique style of the chair ties to the really cool altar.

Much kudos to my fabulous wedding team:

These chair ties are from BBJ Linen. They are the "apple" color. You can use chair ties as table runners as well. We created a unique way to use the ties because bows would simply not work. This was defintely a labor love but it really was worth it. Thanks to Angela on the Lucie's team for doing such a great job!














Can you tell that I absolutely adore Petal Pushers? I loved the simple clean look of the curly willow with white dendrobium orchids. It really filled up the Vistas Ballroom at Lakeway Resort.

Speaking of these chair ties... Apparently its tradition in this family to wear chair ties on your heads at the weddings. I was not privy to this info before hand, so this made a good laugh!
