Austin Honky Tonk Wedding

June 3, 2017

Get ready for one of my biggest photo re-caps to date. It is not every day that a bride calls you with her wedding ideas and the discussion is full of neon bar signs, colored Christmas lights hanging in the bar, wedding colors that match the Pearl Snap beer can and a roasted pig. Woo-hoo, sign me up! I was so thrilled that Linnea brought me on to assist in planning her wedding at Mercury Hall. It was such a fantastic event and to say everyone had a blast would be an understatement.  Many thanks to Jennifer Jones with Luxe Photography for capturing all the unique and amazing details.

Brazos Hall September Wedding

May 19, 2017

So many amazing Austin wedding vendors came together to create a beautiful wedding showcasing special touches throughout Brazos Hall. From the stunning floral ceremony wall created by Bouquets of Austin, to the stunning, flowing ivory drapes by Unique Design and Events and the perfect backdrop of lighting for the dance floor, there were great details everywhere. We worked together for over a year and we could not have been more thrilled with the end results on their wedding day. Thank you to Joseph West Photography for capturing the wedding day.

Chateau Bellevue Wedding

January 3, 2017

September was a big wedding month this year and definitely one of our hottest and rainiest we’ve had in a long time. Gratefully, we had air conditioning for Amanda and Justin’s wedding. With a Catholic ceremony followed by their reception at Chateau Bellevue everyone had a great time. Amanda and Justin are such a sweet and affectionate couple. That’s what makes a wedding day so special, seeing a couple loving one another and truly embracing that they are now one.

Vista West Ranch December Wedding

December 13, 2016

Such perfect weather for Melissa and Buck’s December wedding. Melissa loved her elegant wedding gown, but also appreciated the vintage elements at Vista West Ranch. Having great touches to reflect what both the bride and groom liked made this the perfect celebration for them. Thank you to their photographer, Matt Montalvo for capturing so many fantastic moments throughout the evening.

Madeline Manor Styled Shoot

August 23, 2016

I have been working with Regina Peek, the owner of Madeline Manor for several months. She has a beautiful venue in Kyle and I saw so much wedding potential at my very first visit. Regina has a great personal style that is reflected in venue decorating taste. I knew that we had to create a styled shoot at her venue and showcase all the beautiful wedding locations and reception highlights Madeline Manor offers.  As an Austin wedding planner, I spend the majority of my time coordinating and designing real weddings, so when I started to put together my ideas for this styled shoot I wanted to feature different wedding gowns and décor styles. It was a wonderful day and it all came together to create a stunning day. An extra heartfelt thanks to Sherry Hammonds Photography for capturing all the details so perfectly!

None of this would have been created without the help and talent of the following vendors:

Madeline Manor

Bouquets of Austin

Whim Rentals (chairs, Sophia tables, place settings, and chair covers)

Our gorgeous model, Molly McCaskill

Michelle’s Patisserie

Marquee Rents (linens and pink goblets)

Pink Tulip Invitations

Alexia Gavela provided all the wedding gowns and jewelry

Hair and Makeup by Katie Astoria Modern Muse

I have looked through these photos more times than I can count and really can’t decide if my future Austin couples will want their weddings at Madeline Manor to reflect a modern, stylish wedding or a romantic, garden event with a touch of whimsy.  There is so much potential at this venue and I can’t wait to share it with new couples.

Happy planning,

Barbara
