Happily Ever After at The Driskill

December 18, 2017

I was so happy to receive the MoonLit Wedding’s video from Ashley and Jordan’s wedding. Such a fun couple and their wedding definitely reflected not only how much they love each other, but also how much fun they have together.

Thank you so much, Jake for sharing this.

Driskill Winter Wedding Fun

July 8, 2016

Lia and Tye are such an enjoyable couple and were a good team in starting their wedding plans. They hired me eight weeks before their wedding to pull together the final vendors and wedding details at one of my favorite Austin venues, The Driskill. The groom’s parents have an amazing home near Zilker Park and hosted a wonderful rehearsal dinner on Friday night. The wedding day was crisp, but not nearly as cold as February could have been.

I love seeing all the details come together at weddings, especially when they reflect what the couple loves.  They definitely had one of the most epic cake cuttings I’ve seen in a long time, I loved their photo booth cut-outs of our favorite Texans Matthew McConaughey, BEVO and Willie Nelson not to mention the non-stop dancing thanks to Blind Date. All of these details and more were captured by the amazing Tyler Schmitt with Mill Photo Studio.

Dark, Velvet Driskill Wedding

December 14, 2015

Working with Kelly on her wedding, the most challenging aspect was describing her vision to vendors. She did not want a goth wedding, but she did want a dark feel. She loved the idea that the Driskill may be haunted. She loved the rich velvet linens and ribbons along with deep floral colors accented by gold, crème and peach. We worked to create a vintage feel with a touch of eerie. I love the photos and was very excited to see that some of the photos did have a haunting effect to them. My favorite part at the end of the night was seeing a hearse outside the Driskill after the couple exited. With all my weddings at the Driskill, that was a perfect night for it show up for a photo op.

Wedding Plans for Winter Months

December 5, 2014

I plan weddings all year round in Austin, however our peak season is definitely the spring and fall months. Just as it is too hot in Austin for outside weddings, we do need a great plan for winter weddings as well since our weather can easily turn rainy and the temperatures are completely unpredictable with ranges between 70-20 degree. We always make sure we review what our plan B will be regarding tenting, decor and keeping all the guests comfortable. Here are a few of our past winter weddings at a variety of venues that had great backup plans or were perfect for an inside event with no weather worry at all. By the way, winter in Austin can start as early as late November and not end until mid-March.

Do you have a wedding planner to discuss the countless questions with in regards to decor, weather, which vendors to choose, how it all comes together and so on?  Thanksgiving through Valentine’s Day is peak engagement season, so don’t hold off. Arrange an in person or phone consultation today so we can immediately help alleviate your stress.

Happy planning,

Barbara

Pure Glamour Wedding at The Driskill with Barbara’s Brides

August 26, 2014

Oh, what a wedding this was.  Casey took months to decide to hire me. Her mother in law had worked with me years earlier on her own daughter’s wedding and knew I could help give Casey peace of mind on pulling it all together. Casey had such fantastic taste and as an interior designer she had a clear idea of all the elements. She just needed reassurance that all she was hoping for would happen while she was busy being the bride.  Although there is no such thing as a true “day of” planner, we do offer brides the chance to start handing the details over to us as well as contacting us with the countless questions that come with planning a wedding. Many thanks to http://www.lastpetal.com for working so closely with Casey on her vision. I love all the photos captured by http://www.jennydemarco.com showing a romantic evening with bling dripping from the pillars, the bride’s stunning bouquet and dancing through the night.

I love the Driskill and have had countless weddings there, but this is definitely one of my top 5 Driskill weddings.
