Kristie, Christine, Andrea, Jennifer...

Hi again!

Teresa Sandvig, with Elan Imaging is pretty fast at getting photos back to me of the events we share (thanks girl!) and they are always great shots! Look at the beautiful job she did with Kristie and Andrea...


Kristie & Robert (ceremony and reception at Southwest School of Art & Craft) and their family were a blast to work with! The wedding was amazing (yes, I cried) and Kristie and Robert make such a handsome couple....I have created a gallery on my website, if you want to see a few more!










Then we had Christine and Rick. This couple was stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan respectively/simultaneously and we did planning from very VERY AFAR! lol.....we wound up moving venues (the guest count grew!) and so we were able to play at the Menger Hotel for ceremony and then hopped over to Pat O'briens for a fun reception! Black, ivory, gold and soft pinks....We draped the Josephine room (pretty on its own but we love to enhance!) and gave it a much more elegant look! Crystal (sales mgr) at pat's was awesome to work with and was SOOOO flexible and Doreen at the Menger, is always eager to help as well!








Andrea and Daniel.....another UNIQUE couple....married at the Marquardt ranch in Boerne. They wanted "earthy" tones and a very relaxed day, so we opted for apple green and luscious chocolate and the venue could not have been any better! Their guests had a great time and the couple was so relaxed all weekend! Thanks to Mandy at the Marquardt for making us feel so welcome! And she's pretty good at hustling those processionals along too!








Next up, Jennifer and John...oh my gawd, these two were so much fun! I don't think there was anything they didn't want on their day! We incorporated 4 forms of travel (limo, chartered bus (trolley broke down!), double decker tourist bus and of course, a river barge)! Ceremony was at the UIW chapel and Weston Centre was their reception site. The couple are avid outdoorspeople, so everything we did was "nature" based... Casa Sol was the caterer of choice (wow did they pull off a great event!) and Signature Ice did a fabulous Double Ice Luge for us (cowboy boots, state of Texas and watermelon martinis rushing thru! yuuuuuuuummmmy!). We had jr dancers come in and entertain with some really great dancing (not folklorico, not flamenco, but true Mexican Folk dancing)....the kids...ranging in age from 7 yrs to 17yrs were absolutely flawless and the costumes amazing! The weston centre loved the set up so much, they have placed it on their website for the new virtual tour! A New Leaf and my buddy Margaret Dodson BUILT two 7' trees to enhance our venue (we needed nature INSIDE), and my roomies, Ambiance Floral and event design team, Gene Weston and Tony Ferro did all other florals.... Linens were by A Touch of Elegance out of New Braunfels and PHilip Thomas did the amazing photos and I have to tell you, he was really great to work with! Check out some of his work below!


















Upcoming in 2009 we have: Julianne, Vanessa, Veronica, Sarah, Amy, Katie, Mary...these are proving to be some really great events too....will keep you posted as they occur! We're even getting to do a baby shower for one of our past clients...I love the baby showers!!




And we've booked into 2011 already! Life just doesn't get any better than this!
