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.

I was speechless after receiving Jaclyn’s wedding review and was reminded once again why I loved working with her so much.

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.

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.

Happy planning,

Beautiful, Relaxed and Fun Barr Mansion Wedding

August 24, 2014

I loved working with Jayme on her wedding at Barr Mansion. She was such an easygoing bride and she wanted her wedding to reflect that. Not an ounce of stuffy and filled with fun flowing ribbons, her family’s favorite desserts and ending the evening with a pinata. The entire evening had laughter, wonderful family and friend moments and a packed dance floor thanks to DJ, Stafford Jones.

Abby with Stems captured Jayme’s design vision perfectly. http://www.stemfloral.com

I loved the photos that Paige Newton shared with me and I am glad I can share them again. http://www.paigenewtonphotography.com
