Springtime Wedding at Omni Barton Creek

July 8, 2017

Wanting to get married in Austin during our peak spring or fall wedding seasons requires advance planning, which usually means planning more than a year before your preferred wedding date. My favorite weather in Austin is in April and November. The temperatures are perfect, not too hot and not too cold. So planning with Erin and Graham began 14 months before their wedding. We toured many of Austin’s indoor and outdoor options, but the only perfect fit was the pavilion at Barton Creek. They wanted a fun dance party and for their guests to enjoy great food and drinks. Thank you so much to Henry Uribe for all his help on the wedding day and Diana M. Lott for capturing all the wedding fun.

Having amazing vendors makes a huge difference, so thank you everyone for creating a wonderful evening for Erin and Graham.

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.

What an absolutely amazing weekend we had. Cheers to a lifetime of happiness for you both.

Happy 4th of July

July 4, 2016

I have always loved 4th of July. My birthday is June 30th so that kicks off the summer fun for me leading into the celebration of America’s independence. I never work on July 4th, but when my former associate planner, Natalie told me she was getting married I was over the moon happy for her regardless of the date. I wanted nothing but happiness for her and she loved the 4th of July as well which is why she picked it for her wedding to Michael. Natalie knew I would want to be there to help her as her “day of planner” and she knew I would take great care of implementing all the wedding details she had thought through so carefully. I wanted her to relax on her wedding day and she knew I would make sure her day was what she wanted. I was so thrilled with the photos that Forever Photography took on Natalie and Michael’s big day at the Union on 8th. It was a gorgeous day and I wanted to share this post as they celebrate their wedding anniversary complete with fireworks.
