<br />
Well just a quick update regarding our Badges & Bouquets 2013 wedding.....<br />
<br />
On September 6, 2013....we had a BEAUTIFUL wedding, yummy cocktail hour and a reception to jump up and down for!<br />
<br />
Josh & Rachel Dietert had a whirlwind planning process to say the least! But, Diamonds & Dreams had already done the hard part (we found them every incredible vendor we could for all the categories of the day!). The hard part for Josh and Rachel was deciding what they WANTED from each vendor. :) And can I add, EVERY vendor......every single one, and we had over 20! UPGRADED from what they had originally promised when they signed up to participate. EVERY vendor upgraded. SUCH generosity from this community. So proud of them!<br />
<br />
They were truly a great couple to work with and so thankful and humble I have to say. They appreciated everything that was placed in front of them. I really don't think they believed they were really going to have a wedding (even though we kept having meetings with those vendors!)...they just felt it was so surreal! <br />
<br />
KENS5 TV followed the entire process so we all felt like TV stars for a few months! <br />
<br />
We will have photos shortly from the infamous Philip Thomas of Philip Thomas Photography and Josh Rinder from Limelight Photo and Video did video for us.....hoping for video soon, too! In the meantime, here's the link to a few of Philip's faves.....<a href="http://www.philipthomasblog.com/">http://www.philipthomasblog.com/</a><br />
<br />
Thank you Josh and Rachel for all you and your families have done for generations....keeping us safe and saving us when we weren't! xoxoxo<br />

<br />
This year has been a crazy year for Diamonds & Dreams, but exciting at the same time. Have we had lots of fun and unique clients.....of course!! Its what we do, unique, fun and STUNNING events. But always in the back of my closet was this little idea waiting to get out........2013 is the birth year for that little idea! Badges & Bouquets. Our dream child!! lol Ok, i'm having a TON of help on this project, but its sooo worth all of our efforts!<br />
<br />
First, let me explain the concept of Badges & Bouquets. Technically its a contest specifically geared to community servants (police officers or firefighters) to win a dream wedding, totally sponsored by wedding or special event vendors. That in itself is pretty AWEsome....but to us, the best part is GIVING BACK to those who selflessly protect us every day. Firefighters and police officers leave their homes every day, without hesitation, to the unknown terrors of the day. 3 and 4 alarm fires, drug busts, hostage situations, traffic accidents, dragging people out of burning buildings.....the list is truly never ending for these people. They take their own lives and place them in peril for US because its their J.O.B.!! Yeah, let's compare that to researching pinterest for a day or two!! <br />
<br />
To have the opportunity to show them they have great value to the community, we have asked the community to show them we care. A wedding doesn't really sound much like a pay back, but when you think of how much they do for us, how underpaid and overworked they are and how their families face the very real possibility of never seeing them again when they walk out the door....... this seems almost insignificant. But, I don't have a lot of power amongst the super powers at city hall...but I do have a lot of friends in the wedding community, and to say I was surprised by their generosity would be a lie........I see how they give to our community all the time for various causes. But, they once again stepped up for B & B!<br />
<br />
We had our first contest (very quickly thrown together this year) and our winners (Josh & Rachel) will be married on September 6, 2013 at the gorgeous <a href="http://lostmission.com/">Lost Mission</a> in Spring Branch. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Badges-Bouquets/494213203972260?ref=hl#!/pages/The-Veranda/296584743778272">The Veranda</a> (a brand new luscious facility within the heart of SA) has offered their space and catering for the rehearsal dinner....and right now we have everything we need to pull off a beautiful wedding for this couple. The year of the Dalmation!!<br />
<br />
2014 is for our police officer winners and that contest will begin around Christmas time, so you'll have to check back in to see how that one rolls out. We already have a venue, a photographer, a gown donation. 2015, yep, we have a sponsor for venue and catering already in place. People...this is huge!! So proud of all our vendors and those of you yet to volunteer......we are building dream weddings one vendor at a time.....and believe me, our vendors are the creme de la creme!! thank you SA, you make me proud to know you!<br />
<br />
A list of all our sponsors will be on our website once published, but for now, you can find them on our facebook page :) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Badges-Bouquets/494213203972260?ref=hl">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Badges-Bouquets/494213203972260?ref=hl</a><br />
Any vendor that would like to participate for 2014 or 2015, PLEASE contact me and let's chat!!<br />
<br />
Sooo happy about this post and excited to bring happiness to a very deserving couple...every year until I physically cannot do it anymore.....then someone else picks up my slack! :)Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13550243911305952329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893937485398456815.post-88173927901755806792013-05-23T12:03:00.001-07:002013-05-23T12:03:49.813-07:00Alex and Angela - Match made at the Westin La Cantera!!Hello all!<br />
<br />
Our client's wedding last weekend was awesome! Lots of happy tears, beautiful environment, great food and the alcohol flowed freely! The bride was more than stunning and her gown to die for. ONE of my favorite dresses to date! I'm posting a few photos to intrigue you and alsoattepting to put up a video of the Conga line :) Cutting Edge Entertainment's DJ di jour (Sam!!!) kept the crowd on the floor all night, but I have to say, we haven't seen a conga line for a while, so it was kinda fun to watch the antics!<br />
<br />
Enjoy!!<br />

<br />
Amanda and Andrew are a couple of my fave people (and I'm envious too....they are now living in Rio de Janero, Brazil (really amanda???) ;) Couldn't happen to a sweeter couple...and I'm missing our late night chats! xoxoxo<br />
<br />
Amanda & Andrew's story is<a href="http://www.sanantonioweddings.com/real_wedding/AmandaAndAndrew.aspx"> here</a>.....take a peek when you have a minute!Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13550243911305952329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893937485398456815.post-92222221654963926822013-05-20T22:57:00.000-07:002013-05-20T23:15:43.425-07:00Apologies, then LOTS of news!Hello all!<br />
<br />
Haven't been on here for a LOOONG time, and yes, we've been busy, but really no excuse for not visiting with YOU! Again, beat me when you see me!<br />
<br />
We have been super busy tho and have sooo many things we'd love to share but some we can only hint at!!<br />
<br />
First, I've moved offices twice since this time last year. No real reason other than I'm an Army brat from way back and just used to moving from time to time (I get an itch that I can't get rid of until I see a "for lease" sign :) <br />
<br />
My office FOR NOW is located in north central SA close to the airport and tons of malls, so call me or come by and see me and we'll chat about your event, your anxiety, the love of your life.....or just gossip! <br />
<br />
We recently held a style shoot at the fabulous new venue "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The-Veranda/296584743778272?fref=ts">The Veranda</a>" (aka The Lodge Restaurant in Castle Hills). Chef Mike Bomberg of Spice of Life and his team bought and have renovated this spot and it is absolutely stunning! You must go and visit...the grounds are lush and just perfect for those outside ceremonies and the covered pavilion is so beautiful and perfect for dancing! They also have a little bungalow in the back that's just perfect for those quiet dinners for TWO with lots of candlelight and romance and well......you get the idea! Lots of photos on their facebook page and a few spots left for those last minute brides ready to get started!<br />
<br />
Jessica Silvaggo Galbreath did a fabulous job keeping us all in check at the shoot (ok, she really just stayed on top of Chef Mike so we had something fabulous to shoot on the feasting table). Gowns were supplied by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/JulianGoldSA?fref=ts">Julian Gold Salon</a> in Alamo Heights and we had hair and makeup by the incredible <a href="http://facesbyblush.com/">Blush Team</a> (thank you Ash & Steph!)...they are always up for a challenge!! (that would be me....a challenge!) Our fairy-ettes are simply stunning in costumes supplied by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/BornToBling?fref=ts">Born to Bling</a> (thanks Fallon). I have been sworn to secrecy by the editing team at <a href="http://sanantonioweddings.com/">San Antonio Weddings Magazine</a>, but rumor has it, it'll be debuting our photoshoot in July! Fingers crossed!<br />
<br />
Let us know what you think....I can guarantee you haven't seen much like it in any wedding magazine...ever :)Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13550243911305952329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893937485398456815.post-17319682184216757082013-05-20T21:59:00.000-07:002013-05-20T21:59:03.097-07:00A new habit....I think I'm going to start making this a habit.....winning awards I mean :)<br />

But mainly because they trusted me IMPLICITLY! They sat down with me for 1 or 2 meetings, drew out a general game plan with me, and then left me :( (they are both military and travel extensively and have very very very demanding "jobs"....doesn't lend itself to a lot of brainstorming for wedding planning.)<br />
<br />
But I have to say, the day was incredible, laid back, with a simple quiet elegance even though their families and most of their friends, are totally insane (in a good way).<br />
<br />
Caitlin's creations was kind enough to send me some really great photos of the day....she does incredible work....you should check on her!<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

I've got tons of event updates, but need to prioritize postings because of time constraints!!<br />
<br />
Super excited about this!!<br />
<br />
A major cable network has contacted Diamonds & Dreams to participate in a documentary involving the Swan family of Helotes. The Venue is slicing their normal fees for their facility use when booked through us, so this is a HUGE boost to your budget AND you'd be on TV!! How great is that??? Did I mention the hill country venue is lush, green and GORGEOUS!<br />
<br />
So, if you are anyone you know is in need of a venue, let me know NOW! <br />
<br />
Talk to your neighbors, cubi-buddies, cousins and folks you don't like ,folks you love!! Don't miss this opportunity!<br />
<br />
Some rules:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Must be a large event with at least 150 in attendance, baby showers can be a BIT smaller, </li>
<li>Must be filmed between June 1st and July 24th of this year. (limited dates, but most Sundays are available) </li>
<li>and must allow Diamonds & Dreams to coordinate.</li>
</ul><br />
Some event ideas:<br />
Weddings, Graduation parties, Bridal or baby Showers(or combo bridal/baby shower :), Charity events/Fundraisers, Corporate events, Reunions (high school, large family, etc.), Themed parties, Sports parties, Fashion Shows or pageants, Sweet 16 or Quinceneras, Birthday Party, Retirement parties, Military Homecoming--SA, we're a military town -- let's celebrate your son/daughter's return!! and of course, GRADUATIONS! OR, just make up a celebration and let's get busy!!<br />
<br />
call me! 830-947-4461 - or email me: consult@txun.net<br />
<br />
we need to book it now and get busy!!Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13550243911305952329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893937485398456815.post-19896376069340290082010-11-22T18:58:00.000-08:002010-11-22T19:34:09.794-08:00Melanie!!!<div>Hello everyone!</div><div></div><br /><div>Melanie came to me through a bride we did this past summer (I'm waiting on photos from that wedding STILL!)</div><div></div><br /><div>Anyway, Melanie was a bridesmaid for Taylor and she loved what she saw while we worked! yayyyy for good grades!</div><br /><div></div><div>Melanie & Johnny were super sweet couple and Melanie knew exactly what and how and when she wanted things for her day! lol......I love it!</div><div></div><br /><div>They held the ceremony at the gorgeous Grace Lutheran downtown!

I'm waiting on "PRO" photos, but these will give you an idea of how beautiful it was!</div><br /><div></div><div>Take a peek!</div><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsoW9QhioI/AAAAAAAAAY0/ochEMAZfGg8/s1600/DSC_0005.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542568141275630210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsoW9QhioI/AAAAAAAAAY0/ochEMAZfGg8/s320/DSC_0005.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsoWUiZ7TI/AAAAAAAAAYs/Dpe-mIfq9Cw/s1600/DSC_0010.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542568130344774962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsoWUiZ7TI/AAAAAAAAAYs/Dpe-mIfq9Cw/s320/DSC_0010.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsoV9CRZtI/AAAAAAAAAYk/vFqrQt2223U/s1600/DSC_0031.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542568124035983058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsoV9CRZtI/AAAAAAAAAYk/vFqrQt2223U/s320/DSC_0031.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsncdooJkI/AAAAAAAAAYc/AsWIaUFrD1Y/s1600/DSC_0002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542567136354379330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsncdooJkI/AAAAAAAAAYc/AsWIaUFrD1Y/s320/DSC_0002.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsnXtF6D8I/AAAAAAAAAYU/Oh7FQK7Wvkg/s1600/DSC_0033.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542567054604373954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsnXtF6D8I/AAAAAAAAAYU/Oh7FQK7Wvkg/s320/DSC_0033.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsnXARufsI/AAAAAAAAAYM/RsuVYHQqgcQ/s1600/DSC_0028.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542567042574352066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsnXARufsI/AAAAAAAAAYM/RsuVYHQqgcQ/s320/DSC_0028.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsnWi3CJ-I/AAAAAAAAAYE/bGVzKgbBIPE/s1600/DSC_0027.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542567034677766114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsnWi3CJ-I/AAAAAAAAAYE/bGVzKgbBIPE/s320/DSC_0027.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsnV5-aydI/AAAAAAAAAX8/OvWg32j6cT8/s1600/DSC_0020.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542567023702886866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsnV5-aydI/AAAAAAAAAX8/OvWg32j6cT8/s320/DSC_0020.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13550243911305952329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893937485398456815.post-81289016963247644272010-11-22T13:39:00.000-08:002010-11-22T16:39:38.638-08:00So, I built it.....and they came!<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hello all......yes, its really me! Miss me? (please say yes!)<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Ok, let's get busy......first, my husband and I are soon to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary (I told you I was older than dirt!). So, we decided to throw a small party for a few very special people!</div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>Before I show you photos tho, let me say THANK YOU to all those folks that helped us out!</div><div><br /></div><div>The ceremony was at Mission Espada (I love that little church!). We asked Carol Garner (Moonstruck weddings) to officiate for us. Ambiance Florals did ALL the decor and flowers at church and at reception! Kyrenda King and Richard Diaz de Leon sang/played amazing music for us! (frank sinatra to michael buble---what range!) And Sandra Lanae Photography took photos for us (pro shots coming shortly), but for now....my buddy Bob Keilman took some "work in progress" shots!<br /><br />Big Time Limos escorted us around two cities and made us sooo incredibly comfy! Thanks Eric!<br /></div><div>Linens were from Great Event and Rentals, food by Columbia Culinary Team (thank you to a great team led by Betty Gamez and Chef Jeff), Complete Music DJ'd for us (those galloways are awesome!) and brought their karaoke equipment (my family really shouldn't sing, but they did! ) and we also had a casino for after dinner! We brought in some of our own desserts (cupcakes in 4 flavors and 3 flavors of pie!). Cantu party services bartended for us (yayy for beer!). BP Lighting did some lighting for us (we wanted some but didn't want to distract from "rustic"....so we highlited drapes and did more outside.<br /></div><div>And one of the amazing hilites of the night, my nephew Tim and Erin (she's still like a daughterinlaw to me!) sang and played guitar for us just as we sat down to dinner! they were incredible!</div></div><div> </div><div>And Valerie Gaytan.....coordinated the night for us......flawlessly I might add! Thank you everyone, such a perfect day with perfect weather!<br /><br /><div>Ok, onto the photos and then we'll talk a bit more!</div><div> </div><div><div><div><div><div><div>We held the reception at an old old hall in Coughran Texas (just outside SA) and it offered everything we needed for the day: kid friendly, perfect size for our event, we could cook onsite, and it was old and cracked and just a bland space screaming for color.....enter the peacock! :)</div><br />This is the hall Friday afternoon as we setup. Very raw space,but great "bones."</div><div></div><br />The hall can hold up to 125 guests (using the loft area, too) but we decided the loft would be a gaming area...we put the casino tables up there.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOrnN-OA4VI/AAAAAAAAAVk/7yjE5PQCVDg/s1600/DSC_0004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542496518658908498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOrnN-OA4VI/AAAAAAAAAVk/7yjE5PQCVDg/s320/DSC_0004.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOrnNeUJnQI/AAAAAAAAAVc/n_0oKiQX6j0/s1600/DSC_0003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542496510094712066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOrnNeUJnQI/AAAAAAAAAVc/n_0oKiQX6j0/s320/DSC_0003.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOrmFht1jdI/AAAAAAAAAVM/b6rPmIYyz9M/s1600/DSC_0001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542495274057174482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOrmFht1jdI/AAAAAAAAAVM/b6rPmIYyz9M/s320/DSC_0001.JPG" border="0" /></a>Saturday and its wedding day! </div><br /><div>Mission Espada, such a beautiful little church. Mission Concepcion has had renovations already (if you haven't visited lately---GO!), Mission San Jose is in the process of reno, and Mission Espada is on the docket to get renos after San Jose. I'm glad we snuck in before renos.....I love cracks and missing stucco and history! its perfect (I understand renos are done to save the buildings, but still glad we used it "old!")<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542495269521042930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOrmFQ0VrfI/AAAAAAAAAVE/GapgSWDdkPU/s320/DSC_0110.JPG" border="0" /></div><div></div><div></div><br />My brother, mother in law, the flower power girls, and one of my sons waiting to get inside.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542532155871671202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/TOsHoVLpM6I/AAAAAAAAAXk/rufBFHoIEl8/s320/DSC_0088.JPG" border="0" />Since we married originally in the 70s, felt it was only right to have something a bit retro...so my daughter maggie and my granddaughters got to dress a bit funky for the day.

The crew at CS is always fun and easy to work with! Our Banquet Manager Craig and his team were fantastic, and believe me, we put him to task! 300 plus guests (all very thirsty and hungry)....and they were spot on for each guest!<br /><br />The rehearsal was super hot on friday, but thankfully an unexpected COLD FRONT came thru and gave us some relief on wedding day! Slightly overcast and temperatures in the low 80's.. life was perfect.<br /><br />Our vendors for the day, were Cakes by Cathy Young, Ambiance Floral and event design, michelle garner photography and really talented friends of the family did ceremony music for us (thanks Matt and Chris!). Mike Lavender did our reception music and kept the entire group on the dance floor all night! THANKS to all for a fabulous job....and thanks to my girls (Danielle and Julie) for their "normal" great job!!<br /><br />We had a lot of fun with Jordan and Tommy and their families were super to work with.

Unbeknownst to this coordinator, there is a third member of the family.....Barley (the cutest dog ever to quote his owners!)<br /><br />Well, it seems Barley was unhappy about being left behind for the upcoming nuptials....and took his frustration out on my mailed contract! BARLEY!!!!<br /><br />But, really, can you stay mad at such a cute guy? Ok Barley, you're forgiven....now........go get the stick!! <br /><br />Jason and Kelley's wedding was on April 10th, and I'll post some photos of the humans a bit later!<br /><br />Thanks Kelley for the blogging material! lol<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/S8vj2xENwnI/AAAAAAAAAUM/nQ6lmUT_QDA/s1600/Barleychewswedding.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461709503140315762" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/S8vj2xENwnI/AAAAAAAAAUM/nQ6lmUT_QDA/s320/Barleychewswedding.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/S8vj2q5NFdI/AAAAAAAAAUE/fOtlwxWHNJg/s1600/Barley+cutest+dog+week+6.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461709501483521490" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mWDF2rWN1Ls/S8vj2q5NFdI/AAAAAAAAAUE/fOtlwxWHNJg/s320/Barley+cutest+dog+week+6.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13550243911305952329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893937485398456815.post-23909121494733468602010-04-18T21:27:00.000-07:002010-04-18T21:58:12.357-07:00Baby Showers!<div>Hi Everybody!<br /><br /><div></div><div>Baby showers!

Perfect place for showers, small weddings and great for rehearsal dinners......make sure you look them up!</div><div> </div><div></div><div>Sylvia didn't do the normal "games" and silliness we sometimes love to hate (we hate getting the games started and yet laugh our selves silly once we get going!). Instead, she opted for a really great lunch and liquor (not the mommy, just the guests!). </div><div> </div><div> </div><div></div><div>Vivinah made out like a bandit with all the loot (nieman marcus comforters?? seriously?? :)</div><div> </div><div>Sylvia had a belly cast made prior to the event and we used this as her sign in "book" and we also had a belly cake (thanks danielle for the idea!) to munch on!</div><div> </div><div> </div><div></div><div>Sylvia's family is so incredible to play with and even more fun bringing in this little one! </div><div> </div><div><div> </div><div></div><div>God bless you and your family Sylvia!

Well, we <em>have been busy</em> lately, ok no excuses...........let's get to the stories!</div><div></div><br /><div>February we had the opportunity to work with Victoria and Hector (and as amazing as they are....their families were also amazing!). Victoria was a referral from another client (thank you Liz!!) and just an absolute DOLL to work with (she looks like a doll too!)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Victoria and I searched the rainbow for her final colors........we started with yellow, and just about everything in between (we're sooo indecisive!) and then went to the extreme........pomegranate, plum and melon (doesn't it just sound yummy??) Well it was!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>We held her ceremony in the gazebo at the Southwest School of Arts and Craft and then dinner and dancing in the beautiful chapel. If you have not visited this site, you really need to make a trip downtown. Its such a serene environment and lends itself perfectly to a beautiful wedding!</div><br /><div></div><div>CMI did the photos and they've sent me a couple, but not nearly enough!
