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!👰✨🤵
