Time to play catch up!

Hello everyone!!

Let's see, happy valentine's day, happy st. patty's day, happy easter, HAPPY FIESTA (for those of you from SA!)...what other holidays have I missed since my last blog...you guys just need to beat me when you see me for taking so long to post! Well, we have been busy lately, ok no excuses...........let's get to the stories!

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!)

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!

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!

CMI did the photos and they've sent me a couple, but not nearly enough! The linens were a beautiful deep purple (almost blue!)...stay tuned for more photos!

Bianca & Johannes

One more winter wedding!

Bianca and Johannes.....possibly the sweetest people on the planet, were married this past weekend with ceremony at Mission San Jose and their reception at the Rosenberg Skyroom at UIW. The decor was stunning, as was our bride! (Joh, you were pretty handsome too!)

I loved the Mission ceremony, but unfortunately didn't snag any photos :( but the missions are soo beautiful even without decor - please make it a "to do" to go and visit any of them when you have an hour or two to truly VISIT and appreciate SA's heritage!

Margaret Dodson, of A New Leaf did the reception floral designs as well as all the personal flowers and Simply Charming did the beautiful (and oooh so tasty) cakes!

Sarita's Dance Studio students were on hand for some great entertainment (they are ALWAYS great!) and Holtz Entertainment did a fantastic job with his Video DJ! Those videos are hard to take your eyes off of!!

Taylor and Antoinette at the Skyroom were incredibly easy to deal with and very helpful and their preferred catering company (Sodexho) was on spot all night....Chris, your team is great!

Ilios did stunning lighting for us (soft blue perimeters that changed to hot purple during the nightclub hour!) and we had hot pink acrylic bars unveiled at this time as well!

and of course, yours truly and AWESOME team (Rebekah on my left and Kristye on my right)!!

Summer's Winter Wedding

hello again!!

And yes, you read the post title correctly.........Our bride, Summer and her new husband, Martin held their WINTER wedding at the Weston Centre and it was absolutely stunning.....I'm still waiting on Winfield Little to send over some fab photos, but in the meantime.....here's a few we took!

Ekta's details!

a few detail shots of the reception.

Ekta's color change was sooo beautiful, and thank you (a great big thank you) to Bob Keilman for traveling to Austin with us on such a dreary day (and a long day!!) to capture all of these photos for Diamonds & Dreams! Bob, you are awesome!!

Reception table decor consisted of three totally different looks --- and as we were in a hurry to flip the room, all the tables are not completely set, but trust me, they "finished" up beautifully!!:

christmas ornaments in tall cylinders (Ekta placed her and her groom's names on them, as well as a bit of bling on EACH ornament!),

2nd setup was of beautiful, cut facet hurricanes

and last, square vases filled with manzanilla branches and beautiful orchids and crystals.......

our cake was gorgeous and tasty too! Espresso/pistachio flavors cloaked in a beautiful plum fondant and a bit of gold filigree! BEAUTIFUL!

what do you think? Gorgeous, right?

Part B of Ekta's day!

Of course, we have to show you the bride's arrival........her brothers carried her into the ceremony site and her uncles flanked her in the "doli!" But first, a dry run!! :)

Left, right, left, right........

Family!

Its ok, you can beat me!

Hello everyone!

I cannot believe its been almost 4 full months since I last blogged. OMG, just beat me now! No excuses really. Just plain busy!

Here are a few photos of recent events and more to follow! FOUR months?? really? yikes!

This is at the Hilton Airport (Austin). We had such a great time with staff at the hotel and also the bride's family (Ekta! Your family is krazeee fun!). Trevor's family was more subdued, but we corrupted them as much as possible too! Since this event, my staff is now asking if we can do all our events in saris! No, we cannot, stop begging me!

Ekta's ceremony and reception were held in the same ballroom, so we naturally did a flip after ceremony. Her initial colors as you see were red, ivory and gold with splashes of turquoise (the attendants were stunning!), but for the reception......we went to mardi gras colors....purples, greens and golds! fabulous! Thanks so much Ekta and Trevor for letting us play with you on wedding day! :)

Controlled chaos as the bride's family greets the groom and leads him into the ceremony site!

Funniest Coordinator?? :)

Hello all! Just a quick update......check out this link please.....we've been blogged! I'll be back shortly with some event photos and updates on the Knot party!
