Dallas, Texas

WOW is the first word I would use to describe this wedding!!

Ashley and Jason had the first wedding to ever take place in the Wyly Theatre in Dallas, TX! This event was truly unique and personal to the bride and groom as it was inspired by the groom’s career as a pilot and all of the travels the couple went on together. Elegant details like airplane wax seals and letterpress flight patterns in the paper products nodded to the couple’s journey together. And now they’re off- to have a perfect life together!!🛩💕

Their wedding design melded the Bride’s love of hot pink with their style, which they described as “Restoration Hardware Chic”- I think we hit the nail on the head- what do you think?

Until Next Time-

Hey Babes!

I want to take you behind-the-scenes of one of the BIGGEST weddings of my career: The Kendall and Michael Kelly Wedding!✨

The Statler Hotel in Dallas—IYKYK—is where the magic happened! We began with an enormous blank slated ballroom that was perfect for the glow-up it was about to get. The idea was Old Hollywood and we definitely accomplished that by bringing in mixed metals, silver and gold tones, and touches of black and white making it crisp and elegant. We rented all sorts of tables, mirrored and crystal, draping them with black and white linens. It was all designed to create an aesthetic variance, keeping it VERY classic, VERY elegant, and VERY upscale!✨

Flowers were perfectly placed throughout from the cocktail hour to the reception and the most stunning, dramatic entrance. We will get to that one later! But, all the flowers were white roses, white Phalaenopsis orchids and white hydrangeas. Adding these and all the different textures and monochromatic colors came together to really modernize the look.✨

Now for table talk— The chargers and beautiful places settings with silverware tucked into napkins and coasters on top of the glassware all worked together to keep the tables as Covid friendly as we could make it for the comfort of our guests.✨

The reception could not have been more stunning with hanging crystal rain from the ceiling just over the dance floor, making everything POP. The perfect personalization was the client’s monogram in the middle of the dance floor! Behind the stage- one of my fave pieces-the LED wall-with custom video and tons of graphics absolutely emulated the design. There were gold bubbles, fireworks, and the couple’s monogram again, making the entire design come together, which all helped create one of the best moments of the night…stay tuned!!✨

For cocktail hour, we had two(!!) champagne walls and escort card walls on each side with dripping crystals. Then more flowers!! Flowers in the bathroom. Flowers on the bar. Flowers everywhere. A flower wall for photo ops. There was no shortage, y’all! And remember that dramatic entrance I referenced??! We had a tunnel adorned with flowers to walk through. No detail was left behind when it came to flowers – they were absolutely STUNNING!✨

Let’s talk about the moments that I’ll never forget. From the cake cutting of this OVER.THE.TOP cake floating on a Lucite stage, to the last dance with fireworks behind the couple as they dipped on the final note of the song. If you’ve been with me for a while, you know how much I love confetti drops so the coolest moment was…. THE CONFETTI DROP! The groom lifted the bride up and just spun her around. The joy on her face at that moment was unforgettable. And it was indeed the coolest moment to witness. To see them off, guests had gold pompoms to shake as they sent them on their way and down the iconic Statler staircase. ✨

This wedding and all the glitz, glam, and gorgeousness was truly one of the biggest events of my career…one I’ll never forget.✨

I hope you enjoyed this behind-the-scenes look at a Statler wedding in the making for the most deserving couple!👰✨🤵

Hey, babes! This modern + rustic-themed wedding was at one of my FAVORITE venues- the Dallas Museum of Art!!

The bride’s high fashion style set the tone for a stunning, crisp, and clean event. Wooden tables were mixed with lucite ghost chairs as well as textural monochromatic linens to complete the look along with greenery galore! SOOOOO beautiful! The guests enjoyed a heartfelt ceremony and danced the night away before sending the couple off to their honeymoon in a classic car!💕✨

Sara was a dream bride and it was so fun to be part of her special day!!

And, until next time…

Hey Babes!💕

I can’t believe it’s already been 5 years since I married the love of my life. I’m celebrating and reminiscing with you all by sharing my **top 5 FAVORITE things** from our spectacular wedding weekend.

Number 1 Theme. Theme. Theme. One of the best ways to pull everything together and incorporate your personality into your wedding day is to focus on a theme. Ours, in all honesty, was my husband’s idea-“Be a Part of Our Art”. We wanted this to be an all-encompassing experience and I think we nailed it! With my husband being an artist and me, a creative wedding planner, combining these two for our theme expressed who we are in such a beautiful and perfect artistic way.🎨👰💫 From our Save-the-date to our Groom’s cake, art led the way.

Our Save-the-date was such a fun idea. Taking it back to childhood memories, we sent Blind in Box cards with no visible message. I’m sure that was a surprise! Our guests used the watercolor paint set included to paint over the paper and reveal the save the date message! Some guests even sent us pictures of the artwork they painted!

Reminiscent of a gallery walk where guests perused my husband’s artwork with a drink and appetizer in hand is what defined our cocktail hour. This detail allowed our guests to connect with us through the art he created and the art I so deeply cherish. It also kept conversations flowing while guests awaited our arrival!

The sign-in book and what transpired from it now hangs in our home. It was a canvas with a base layer where everyone signed and painted their own image. It’s not stored away in a memory box at the top of my closet or in my garage, it sparks conversation as it’s displayed where we, and anyone who visits our home, can enjoy.

And you might be thinking, what’s a Groom’s cake?? Well, it’s a tradition in the South and ours was a replica of my husband’s work! It was a true representation of my husband’s tastes and what he loves. If you choose to have a groom’s cake, **this ** is the way to go. What does he love? Who is he? How can he best be represented? I’ve seen it all – from replicated college football stadiums to Rolex watches! Have fun with this and let him make the final decision (unless you hate the idea😜, then let your wedding planner take it from there!).

Number 2 has to be my flower wall. Soooo many people talked about the gorgeous creation by Bella Flora. So bright. So colorful. So fun. 💐 I just loved, loved, loved getting married in front of it. And who doesn’t love multipurpose? We transitioned it to the DJ backdrop where colorful tunes met the colorful flowers and intermixed perfectly for the bold and artistic vibe we had planned.

Number 3 Well this one is easy – three, yes THREE!! wedding dresses for my third most favorite memory! Let’s start with the Berta gown from Bridal Boutique in Lewisville. Picture it- fitted, lace, long train, cathedral veil-absolute magic. For the reception, you might remember this one from my Say Yes to the Dress experience! The Mark Zunino gown, purchased at Kleinfeld, was adorned with black accents that exemplified our artistic theme and complimented the black bridesmaid dresses. I saved the simple, casual Bebe dress for the after-party. This hi/low dress allowed me to comfortably dance the night away.💃🏼 Not every bride has, or wants or needs 3 gowns- it’s what I wanted and what worked for me. You do you, babe, and if it’s one dress, then one dress it is!

Number 4 Our DJ takes the number four spot with his ROAST! You read that right! He roasted our bridal party and **it.was.the.best**. Everyone is still talking about it, F-I-V-E years later. Let me say this- make sure you know your bridal party and if they are down for something like this before you run with this So Chill, So Fun, So Crazy idea. Our bridal party lived.for.it. Let me set this up for you- our DJ interviewed them all prior to the wedding day and got the background info he needed for their introductory roast. It wasn’t your normal “Let me introduce the Maid of Honor and Best Man” while they danced into the room. It was fun facts, roasting, and good fun!!

Number 5 is one you MUST consider if your venue allows it- a confetti drop. It was a magical end to our most magical night. If confetti isn’t your thing or your venue is not down with it, that’s ok! Just end with something grand like a fun sparkler send-off, bubbles or petals. The endpoint of your wedding day seals the deal beautifully.

I know I said FIVE, but here’s a **bonus **that I just can’t leave out. We were married on a Friday so on Saturday, we had the most EPIC pool party. Friends and family loved this. We NEEDED it. AND it was such a chill way to round out the weekend!!☀️🍹

As you prep and plan for your day, remember the details- the details that will spark that smile, the details that will bring a moment back to life, and the details that will be forever embedded in your heart.
