The Wedding Party Studio

We just joined forces with The Wedding Party Studio. It a new research lab for brides to go and learn about Dallas' most creative and up and coming vendors. We are super excited to be a part of this new concept. It is housed out of Blush Couture on Allen St. in Uptown. EVERY bride should go check it out. It is going to be the hottest place to find the best wedding talent in the area!

We will also be participating in their upcoming event on March 29th at a new Dallas venue called ThirdSpace. You can check out their website for more info...just click on the picture below!

Weddings: Amy + Jon
The Dallas Arboretum

It has taken us a while to get our pictures together from this wedding. It was such an amazing one! So, we are FINALLY getting to blog about Amy & Jon. Amy had a very tailored, classic style and this came out in her wedding and in her flowers. We chose a very modern all white look using giant spheres of roses and massive clusters of baby's breath. It was sleek and very pretty. We were so happy to be a part of this beautiful wedding.

Take a look at these pics from Alex Ham:

Weddings: Tara + Chris
St. Patrick Catholic Church + The Old Red Museum

It was a joy working with Tara and Chris. We truly had a blast planning their wedding and getting to do their flowers. They are a fun loving couple who had a stressful planning experience...let's just say there was a move from NYC to San Francisco which included job changes and much stress for the bride and groom! But, everything went great and the night was a great success! We loved mixing Tara's colors of red and green with organic, sophisticated decor and details! Thanks for letting us be a part of your big day. Shout out to a great mother of the bride, Annette and great sister of the bride, Jenna too!

Her photographer was Stacy Cross out of Austin. She was amazing. She also used the lovely Kate Medford of Juxtapose Photography out of McKinney as her second shooter. So these are a collection from both photographers images:

Chris isn't a cake eater, so we did make a late night run to Coldstone to get his favorite ice cream concoction. The employess did look at us a little funny when I told them it was for a wedding reception! Gotta do what you gotta do!

HAPPY, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

We are currently out of the office from December 22, 2008, and we will be returning January 5, 2009!

Trendsetters: Show Your Holiday Spirit

There are a lot of brides that choose to get married around the holidays, and I think a holiday palette of red and green can be totally stylish. It is such a cost effective way to get married because most ceremony and reception venues are already decorated with garlands, wreaths, and trees. You can mold your palette around those same ideas and themes, but keep it chic and stylish.

Weddings: Shelli + Charlie
Their Backyard

Shelli was such a special client. She is fabulous woman who is a breast cancer survivor and is grateful for every moment she is given. She loves life and she wanted to live it up by throwing a great dinner party wedding to marry the man of her dreams. I got the opportunity to help her plan her wedding and do the floral. I have two words to describe this amazing wedding: Southern Living. It truly was an amazing affair.

Thanks to Vanessa with Wisner Photo for these pics:

Weddings: Shannon + Brendan
St. Thomas Aquinas + Park Cities Hilton

Shannon was such a super sweet client. Her colors of navy and light pink were very chic and classic. They contrasted each other very nicely. She wanted everything to be very gardeny and lush and we pulled it off mixing roses, dahlias, peonies, and ranunculus. Thanks for letting us be a part of your day!

We got these images from her photographer's blog, KJ Images:

Trendsetters: Going Green

Okay, so I know that "green" and "eco chic" weddings have been popular for a while. But, lately I have been enamored with not just "green" weddings but everything in an organic palette. I am loving mixing whimsical moss with other organic elements such as poppy pods, ferns, and lotus pods. Also, mixing all shades of green. It is just so stunning, whether you are in a crisp white tent or in a modern hotel.

Weddings: Kaylen + Nick
Christ the King + The Old Red Museum

I was blessed to work with Kaylen and Nick for the entire planning process of their wedding. We had such a great time. Kaylen and I really worked hard to develop a unique color scheme and priceless details for her wedding. I definitely think we did that using lots lighting from Absolute Lighting and fabulous linens from BBJ Linen. A couple of details pictured below are their "Something Blue" shot and the Whataburger that we gave guests as they left the party. Of course we did the flowers as well, and they turned out fabulous.

Thanks to Cristina Wisner for these great shots below!! I think the first shot explains how the reception went: ultimate party :)

Weddings: Gillette + Zack
The Dallas Arboretum

It was a pleasure working with Gillette and her wedding planner Paige Chenault to help create her perfect wedding day. Her style was traditional in flowers but modern in the way that she wanted them arranged. We created interesting arrangements using a mixture of square glassware with ball-shaped arrangements and flowers adorning them! It was a lot of fun.

Thanks to Cesar and Tanya Perez with Perez Photography for these pics:
