December Driskill Wedding by Barbara’s Brides

January 2, 2015

Alison has a very busy work schedule, her mom lives in Florida and her fiance is active duty military. She wanted more than day of wedding planning and wanted to still be involved in the planning. The most challenging part of the planning was keeping the band a secret in order to surprise the groom. They were his favorite so we did all that we could to keep it a secret until the great reveal. The groom was stateside in October which made everything better for Alison.  Nothing like having a military fiance on home soil. Tyler Schmitt did a great job with all the photos and is just fun to have at a wedding http://millphotostudio.com . Melanie Tipton with http://lastpetal.com did a wonderful job on the flowers.

Loving Every Minute of Driskill Summer Wedding

October 7, 2014

Working with couples gives me such great insight into their relationship and creating their wedding day brings me more happiness than I ever imagine my career as a wedding planner would.  We all have different skills and situations that bring us joy.  By nature, I tend to nurture and problem solve, so being an Austin wedding planner was the perfect choice for me. I love seeing couples glow on their wedding days, but these two set the bar REALLY high. Their love for each other was so obvious I hope my own sons find that level of love with their future spouses.  I was beyond thrilled to help them in their wedding plans, but being on site at the actual wedding was the cherry on top. Love in every glance, that is how I describe Kaitlin and Ward. Thank you Pam Hults for all their beautiful images http://alaviephoto.com/ starting with their fun engagement session.

There are not many things that mean more to a business than a rave review. Thanks to Ward for taking the time to post his thoughts.

Barbara and her staff helped keep my Bride sane and organized. We had a huge wedding with lots of moving parts. Barbara worked through some particularly difficult situations that I didn’t want to handle…and she did it with grace. I threw some curveballs her way the day of and during the wedding and she hit ’em out of the park. Well worth the investment and I’m a little shocked she doesn’t charge more, she’s certainly worth it. I recommend Barbara w/out reservation. I don’t often give out my information, but for I’ll make an exception. You may contact me at Ward@WardDavisonLaw.com if you’d like some more information on Barbara. Congratulations, Ward…

One of the highlights of the evening was a very special music for the reception from The Voice duo http://www.dawnandhawkes.com/ with DJ, Stafford Jones filling in during breaks.

Thanks to http://www.bouquetsofaustin.com for the beautiful flowers and Lauren with http://www.pinktulipinvitations.com for all the gorgeous stationery

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
