Who’s ready for a BEACH WEDDING?!
This Cozumel, Mexico destination wedding was beachy and beautiful. Guests enjoyed a karaoke welcome party on the beach, a rehearsal dinner with a never-ending supply of margaritas as well as fire dancers and other fabulous performers, a ceremony on the beach where they were greeted with cocktails in coconuts, and, finally, a reception with a 5 course dinner and dancing all night!
It was a dream to plan this amazing wedding for Natalie and Zac! Cheers to many wonderful years together! 🥂
Until Next Time-

Today I’m giving you the top 5 wedding planners that you should be following if you are newly engaged, in the industry, or just want design inspiration for big over-the-top weddings!
Coming in at my #1, most insane wedding designers is @Lebaneseweddings on Instagram! This account shows every step along the way, literally. You’ll see the venues being built from scratch for each wedding and the entire process of what that looks like all the way to the end of the set-up. It’s insane! If that isn’t crazy enough, wait until you see the gowns. These brides wear the most stunning ball gowns. Typically custom made and with a longggg train. They really are a work of art!
Another cool thing about
@Lebaneseweddings is the over-the-top designs. These weddings don’t shy away from impressing their guests and make sure to utilize every space of the venues to have the most beautiful design you can imagine. One of the things I’m inspired by the most from this wedding planner is the incorporation of tech. You’ll see custom graphic designs displayed all throughout the venue space, giving the most unique and beautiful wow factor for all the guests. Of course, there is food and lots of it! They utilize this piece and create a whole design in this area too. Some weddings have multiple medium size wedding cakes which can have the best design but also so much yummy cake for all the guests. The last thing that I love so much and have to mention about @lebaneseweddings is the grand entrances. At any wedding, the entrance is a big deal but these brides utilize tech to give the most out-of-this-world backdrops, while they enter the space, typically on a large stage so that all their guests can see them in that gorgeous custom gown.
The second account you need to follow is @mindyweiss. Mindy is the “Goat” celebrity wedding/party planner. You may know some of her work and did not even know it was hers! Mindy is the master behind all of the Kardashian parties, Ellen Degeneres’s wedding, and Justin and Hailey Bieber’s wedding! Her Instagram gives you all the behind-the-scenes of these celebrity events/weddings and it’s honestly just amazing. From her Instagram, you’ll also see that her design is out of this world. You probably already know this designer from seeing the events she has done for the Kardashian family, but I highly encourage you to give her Instagram a look if you’re wanting any type of design inspiration. Another thing Mindy is good at is the intimate details. She knows how to turn any occasion into an intimate, extraordinary event. All in all, Mindy is amazing! She is honestly goals and I know that anyone in the industry can easily agree with me on this!
Account #3 that you need to follow is Revelry Event Design. Revelry Event Design is an LA-based rental and design company. They are most known for the Academy Awards and Grammys that they design. How cool is that?! Their parties are also a super huge hit and known for having the most insane furniture with custom pieces, beautiful lighting, and outstanding draping! Revelry Event Design creates the most beautiful dance floors and unique interactive displays. You can find a lot of inspiration for wow-factor pieces from them. Their Instagram highlights have all the best behind-the-scene that show you how these over-the-top pieces come together. You have to check it out!
The fourth account to follow is @cecinewyork. This account is invitation design heaven You won’t believe what kind of custom work that owner, Ceci Johnson, creates. She loves to bring in so many fun colors and unique twists to each piece of her work. You most definitely need to visit her page before ordering invitations or any paper products!
Coming in at #5 of the top five Instagrams you need to follow when you get engaged is @partyslate. PartySlate is a wedding and events blog that vendors can use for inspiration. The coolest thing about them is that you can search by theme, venue, and city. This helps someone who is wanting to have a destination wedding know what vendors are in the area and what work they have done. PartySlate is a huge platform for upscale weddings and events to be featured on to give inspiration all over the world! You’ve got to check them out.
Bonus feature- ME! You need to follow my Instagram @asyouwish_dfw! Our Instagram is designed to show the real-life work that we’ve created and give inspiration to not only our future brides, but ALL Bride Babes! I can’t wait for you to see my work!!

Babes. The colors of Rose and Jovin’s outdoor wedding were STUNNING with beautiful lavender and ivory accents everywhere.
The ceremony took place on the Event Lawn at the Four Seasons Hotel in Las Colinas. Guests passed through the garden gate to enter into the lovely scene surrounded by lavender and ivory blooms. The celebration continued in the pavilion where guests were handed lavender-infused Moscow Mules in copper mugs and Jovin surprised Rose with a flash mob! That was one of my favorite memories during a wedding! I hope these photos bring to life what a special day this was for Rose and Jovin!

6 Steps to Planning an Epic Holiday Party
Babes! The holidays are here! Let me help you plan the Holiday party your friends and family will all be talking about!
If you know me and my family, you know we throw an EPIC annual holiday party. It is the talk of the town and so much fun. Let me walk you through the steps we take when planning in order to give you some tips and tricks on how to plan your own holiday festivities!
When planning your holiday event, here are the most important things to think through:
#1 – Decide on the Formality Level of the event. Will it be black tie, business casual, come as you are, or a costume party?
#2 – Select a theme! Here are some past themes we have done for holiday parties: 80’s in Aspen, Putin’ on the Ritz, Winter Wonderland, Great Gatsby, Ugly Christmas Sweater, Red Carpet Christmas, Christmas in the Cabin, and even Zombie Christmas!
#3 – Once you have the theme, design the rest of the party around it. Start with the decorations and get a board going on Pinterest to help you get ideas!
#4 – Next, design the menu to fit the theme. This includes finding the recipe for a specialty cocktail with a creative name, a theme-appropriate desert, and more!
#5 – Decide on a game or activity that will get everyone engaged in the event. For example, a photo booth or casino tables are always a solid bet! Also, don’t forget the prizes! Everyone loves to win something! If it makes sense, have a prize to give out after the activity- it gives people incentive to participate!
#6 – Decide on Entertainment- if your crowd is a dancing crowd, a live band, DJ or even a Spotify playlist is a must to enhance the party vibes!
Ok, babes. It’s your turn! You can do this! I can’t wait to hear about your amazing holiday parties…they’re going to be EPIC!

Babes. This is one of my FAVORITE venues!!
Upon entry to this Arlington Hall wedding, guests were greeted with a glass of champagne and directed to the beautiful ceremony. This clear tent wedding was simply stunning! Rustic furniture with garden-y, loose florals adorned the tent. The statement lighting emulated a starry sky. Fun food stations set this wedding apart, and the guests had a great time dancing and celebrating!!
Anytime a bride chooses Arlington Hall, I know it’s going to be an AMAZING day!
