Planning a Fall Wedding at Pecan Grove

September 26, 2014

We are near that time of year when fall leaves start to turn, the rich fall colors are everywhere and the celebrations with family are on our mind. I truly loved being a part of Kelley’s wedding day and working with her sweet mom. There were over 300 guests that wanted to celebrate with the happy couple. The bride mixed her decor and centerpieces with a combination of fun fall pieces and Dia de Los Muertos. Thanks to Diana M. Lott Photography for such a great collection of photos that captured the details that day http://www.dianamlottphotography.com

French Classic Wedding at Mansion on Judge’s Hill (now Hotel Ella)

September 22, 2014

Some weddings take on a magic element on the wedding day when all the pieces come together. Planning with Kim and Issac to create a French influenced wedding was a lovely experience. I was also planning one of her bridesmaid’s wedding and being around fun, happy, beautiful people made my job that much easier. I loved all the gold and pastel tones that Kim wanted to work with.  The couple was surrounded by great friends and family which always makes my day that much nicer.

I worked with Whitney and thank her for the great photos http://www.whitneyarostegui.com

Bohemian Love at Barr Mansion

September 13, 2014

There are so many wonderful wedding styles for brides to choose for their weddings, but what makes a wedding truly special is when the bride knows what she loves and wants her wedding to reflect all those things. I work with brides that love the classic, timeless look, others love the vintage touches and others like the clean lines of a modern wedding. When I first discussed Jaclyn’s wedding, I knew it was going to be so special. First off, she is stunning and her sense of style was stellar. She wanted to marry Joe, her very handsome groom, honor her beloved grandparents, incorporate vintage touches, enjoy a relaxed fun atmosphere and be surrounded by her large circle of friends.  Thanks so much to her photographer, Jessica for capturing all the details. http://www.jbirdphoto.com and being so easy to work with.

Barr Mansion wedding – Austin, TX   posted 2014-09-07
Barbara was a vital part of making our day absolutely magical! We got married in July at the Barr Mansion in Austin, TX and she went to great lengths to ensure that we were 100% happy. The Barr Mansion was going through some staffing changes near our wedding that left many a details completely undone and forgotten. Without Barbara there to remind the venue/enforce what we had decided upon our day most certainly would not have been the dream I had envisioned. As someone who is high ownership and highly organized, I thought I would be able to handle all the details and dynamics leading up to our big day and the day of. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I would have been lost without Barbara! Trust me when I say your time as a bride should be focused on the important things – relishing in this sweet time, spending quality time with friends and family that you don’t get to see much and having FUN! Barbara and her staff allowed me to do just that. Additionally, her role as liaison/chief operations officer served us well as we have very opinionated/dramatic families 🙂 She was able to respond and resolve things among our families leading up to, day of, and even after our wedding with the utmost of tact and professionalism. God bless her for that. Barbara’s genuine desire to please manifests in her strong work ethic and ultimately her successful final product – beautiful weddings and happy brides. I am a product of that and can testify to her relentless efforts, amazing talents and overall caliber of woman. Barbara is a woman of her word with loyalty and integrity and I knew that she would have gone to the ends of the earth to make sure I was happy….

Happy planning,

Barbara

Summer Wedding at The Driskill

September 4, 2014

It is no secret how hot it is in Texas, so once Memorial Day weekend hits, we work pretty exclusively indoors for weddings until the cooler late fall weddings. We want your guests and the two of you to be comfortable and not fainting from the heat in your beautiful attire. Trusting your Austin wedding planner to know which Austin venues have the best options for your wedding is an important skill to have. I have worked with Austin brides for over 20 years and after hearing your vision for your wedding day, I will make recommendations on the perfect location for your wedding.

We planned long distance with Lauren and Colby working with limited time in Austin, but all the details definitely came together for a beautiful wedding. They did not believe they could have a wedding at The Driskill, but I work there often and the Driskill team worked with us to find the perfect date at the right price. Many thanks so much to photographer, Pam Hults for knowing the Driskill so well and capturing the day http://alaviephoto.com/

I always tell my groom’s at the cake cutting that the bride looks beautiful, she paid a lot to have her hair and makeup perfect that day so the last thing he should do is break the trust during the cake feeding by putting cake in her face. When the groom doesn’t listen and puts icing on the bride’s face, pay back is bound to happen which is what happened here. Sorry Colby, but we did warn you not to and Lauren reacted accordingly.

Thanks to all the florist Wendee Sawran for such beautiful flowers http://wendeesawran.com

Happy planning, Barbara

Perfect Villa del Lago Wedding on the Lake with Barbara’s Brides

September 2, 2014

I had such a great time planning this wedding with Chrissy and her mom. I had assisted with older sister, Jenny’s wedding a few years earlier and just like many other sisters Chrissy wanted me to know her style and wedding vision was very different from Jenny’s. Since all my brides have their own vision, I knew I could deliver just what Chrissy wanted. We worked to find the perfect vendors for her wedding, including Royal Fig Catering that really respected that the bride and groom wanted a Paleo menu. We created a fantastic menu that their guests thoroughly enjoyed.  Thank you to http://www.dianamlottphotography.com for taking such fantastic photos to capture the day.

I’ve tried making this post multiple times. 
Everything feels different now. 
I’m going to miss my mom so much
I’m blessed to have a lifetime of priceless memories with her including our Fridays together in my 20s going to iHop and painting classes. 
She taught me to order just appetizers 
So much laughing together
No more April Vegas trips for her birthday 
I’ll miss her excessive emoji use
She had countless mom-isms
She was the slot machine queen

She was a wonderful grandma. She loved all her grandchildren and great grandchildren very much! 

She loved traveling with her hubby
Seeing her reunited with her high school sweetheart filled my heart. They made each other so happy and he cared for her like no other these past 4 years. 

I’m grateful her horrific pain is over 
I’m proud she fought so hard to stay with us when her doctors repeatedly said she only had 3 months to live or it could be any day. She made even more great memories with us and those are irreplaceable. 

For the past 3 weeks she kept telling me not to come. She said she’d see me next month in Vegas to celebrate her 78th birthday. I flew to Oregon anyway and made it in time to say “I love you very much” several more times. She softly said the same back. She was gone 2 hours later.

I say it all the time, each day counts and tomorrow is not promised. Love each other and make memories because one day it’s all you’ll have. 💕
