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

Austin Four Seasons Beautiful Fall Wedding

November 22, 2014

Cheers to the another beautiful fall wedding at The Austin Four Seasons Hotel.  The back lawn has been the perfect back drop to many of our fall weddings and I was so happy when Lucy contacted me to assist her as her “day of” wedding planner. We offer a unique service that provides phone and e-mail contact with us as soon as we are hired, not just day of or month of consultation service. Lucy decided to add hiring the florist and attending the tasting to her services with me in order to pull all her ideas together, but also utilize my past experience in catering to create the perfect menu for her guests to enjoy.  Her wedding style was elegant and classic with warm shades of coral, creams and gold.

Do you want to plan the majority of the details of your wedding, but would like a professional Austin wedding planner to be available as your wedding advisor? If you do not know what you need, give us a call to see if we can answer your questions, concerns and start making you comfortable with how it will all come together.  We have such wonderful vendors and our relationship with them gives you just that little extra all brides deserve.

Speaking of wonderful vendors, Pam Hults with A la Vie Photo http://alaviephoto.com/ is always a great addition to our team. We work in sync to make sure the couple has just what they want. See her fantastic photos below capturing Lucy and Justin’s wedding day.

 

We still have openings for spring 2015, call today to see if we are the right fit as your Austin wedding planner. Whether planning locally or long distance, be sure to have a professional planner you can turn everything over to so you and your family can enjoy your wedding day.

Thank you to all the super star vendors:

Great job from DJ, Kelly Brandt boogieaustin@gmail.com

Happy planning,

Barbara

Perfect Fall Wedding Day at Austin Four Seasons

October 7, 2014

Re-building my blog with weddings has me reviewing so many wonderful events.  I loved Shelley’s wedding at the Four Seasons and the October weather could not have been more perfect. We added Fall touches with white and gold pumpkins, elegant white and pale blush flowers, caramel apples and beautiful masks for the guests. The Austin Four Seasons lawn was the ideal setting for the ceremony and reception followed by the dance party inside the San Jacinto ballroom. This was all right in line with an elegant, classic, wedding in white and gold that the bride told me she had envisioned.

Winter Chill Wedding at Austin Four Seasons with Barbara’s Brides

August 19, 2014

Planning long distance with our couples has become more and more common. Austin is a fantastic city and sometimes a couple visits and decides it would make a great wedding location for them. Other couples may have attended UT or lived here as kids, either way it is wonderful to create an amazing Austin wedding for them even if they live out of state. We planned long distance with Elly and Chris trying to keep their Austin trips to a minimum and doing what we could via e-mail. They only needed to make 3 trips to Austin to work with me creating a wonderful Austin wedding.

We had a very unseasonable cold front come in the week of the wedding and added a beautiful lined tent to the outside scheduled dinner under the stars which was very important to the couple. All the other details worked out very well by moving the ceremony inside the Four Seasons lobby and creating an absolutely stunning party room in the San Jacinto ballroom. So many fun details captured thanks to our photographer, Ashley with www.ashleygarmonphoto.com even with the challenges presented by family members stepping into the aisles during the ceremony and during the prime photo opportunities. I have become even more focused on no tech weddings so the professionals can do their job well for the couple.
