Dallas, Texas

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.

Hey BABES! Today we are talking about the top 10 reasons you NEED a wedding planner!! There are so many great wedding planners out there that work with all kinds of budgets, and I 100% think this is the very first MUST DO on your wedding planning list! Why? Check out my top ten reasons below!

Reason #1: Realistic Budgeting – The VERY first thing we like to do is go over the wedding budget.💵 We look at anything and everything that is going to be involved with the event and we talk about how much it’s going to cost based on guest count, what YOU want, what time of year, etc! All of these details factor into how much you’re spending, and we are experts at maximizing budgets of all sizes to give you the wedding of your dreams!

Reason #2: Vendor Relationships – When your wedding planner has been in the industry a long time, they build relationships with ALL kinds of vendors! They know the best-of-the-best🥇 in every category of vendors, and we know what vendors will match your personality and your budget. We’ve built trust with our vendors and we can be confident they will do a good job for you on your most important day!

Reason #3: Wedding Day Coordination – This is a HUGE relief to your friends and family on your wedding day. Wedding planners are at your event to make sure everything goes off without a hitch. BRIDE BABE – YOU should be sipping champagne🥂 and getting your hair done, and not be worried about what’s going on with setup, vendors, or anything else! You need to relax and enjoy the day – it goes by so fast and we want you to be able to soak up every minute!!

Reason #4: Staying on Task – This is one of the most important things a wedding planner can do for you! There are A LOT of things to get done, and it is important to keep on task and to do things in the right order!📝 For example, time-sensitive things MUST get done first, even though the “fun” things are what you want to focus on! Wedding planners know how to order tasks appropriately to get everything done before the big day!

Reason #5: Creative Ideas – This is the reason a lot of brides hire me! Coming up with the most fun, creative, and meaningful ideas for YOUR special day! Having personal touches make your wedding day different from just an everyday party!🎉🍾👰💒💫

Reason #6: Logistics Planning – In order for your wedding day to flow seamlessly, there is a lot of logistics going on behind the scenes. This can be things like your wedding day timeline we help you create, your floorplans that we lay out, your seating charts…all of the various elements that go into your wedding day.📒 We are working on those things behind the scenes and communicating those plans to your vendors so that on the day of your wedding, everyone is on the same page!

Reason #7: Remembering the Little Details you Forgot – We remember so you don’t have to! We have a wedding checklist with ALL. THE. THINGS. so you don’t have to worry about forgetting a big or small detail!✅ Did you order the garter? When should you get your marriage license? Do you have a plan on how you are going to get your luggage to the honeymoon suite?? These are just a few examples of all details we have covered so NOTHING falls through the cracks!

Reason #8: Emotional Support – This is a BIG one! Weddings can be emotional! Yes, this is the happiest day of your life! But, there are families coming together, clashes of ideas, there’s a lot of money involved, and oftentimes things can get a little… heated!😬🔥 We are here to diffuse the tension – we have seen it ALL. Wedding planners are able to mediate and find solutions that keep everyone happy!

Reason #9: Vendor Contract Review and Negotiations –  This is NOT legal advice, if you didn’t know, I am NOT a lawyer!😜 But with my years of experience as a wedding planner, I am able to look at contracts for venues or vendors and go over them with a fine-tooth comb. We figure out what is missing prior to you signing to make sure that nothing has been left off, and that everything that the vendor promised is reflected in the contract so there are NO surprises along the way!

Reason #10: Help Narrow Down your Ideas – We will help you go through those Pinterest boards, ladies!! Many times, Brides come to us and have been planning this day in their head (or on Pinterest) for years and they come with ALLLLLL the amazing ideas!💡 This is where we SHINE!🌟 A wedding planner can help curate down your vision and steer you in the right direction so that your day ends up being even better than you could have imagined!

Listen, Bride Babes! Your wedding is a one-time event.💕 Working with a wedding planner creates such a special bond. I know that with my brides and my grooms and my sweet families, we become like a FAMILY at the end of the day and we are there for each other. I want my clients to know that I am there for them throughout the WHOLE journey, not just on the wedding day! When you’re working with a wedding planner, it’s so important to pick someone that is going to be a great fit for you and your personality! You should pick someone that you can see yourself going on a journey together. It is an emotional journey and the HAPPIEST time of your life – you want to share that with someone that is going to be your advocate, be your emotional support, and HAVE FUN WITH on this journey!🤗🎉👰

HI BABES!

I hope you all are having the most glamourous day and gearing up for this over-the-top glam wedding I’m about to show you!

The real wedding I’m recapping today is DOING 👏 THE 👏 MOST 👏 in all the best ways. Think modern Great Gatsby, but better!

It had stunning touches of Art Deco details, paying homage to the historic Statler Hotel where the reception took place.

Guests entered through a floral tunnel and were greeted with floating champagne, a floral wall, crystals raining down over the dance floor, fireworks, and video mapping on a larger-than-life LED screen to name a few details!

Is it just me drooling over these images? 🤤 What was your favorite part? And, until next time…
