Melissa + Ben :: The Driskill Hotel

We're on Day 2 of our SMS Photography love week. This wedding was also at the Driskill Hotel and I just loved the deep red and ivory combos. It was so vintage and classic and the theme looked great inside the hotel. It also helped that Melissa is gorgeous! We couldn't have done it without the fabulous Caplan Miller girls and Simon Lee Bakery. Thanks ladies, its always a pleasure working with such great people.

Gorgeous ivory garden roses and hydrangea for the bridal bouquet and and a mixture of ivory garden roses, hydrangea and a pop of burgundy dahlias with a classic greenery accent. Love!

We used a custom aisle runner with a monochromatic damask pattern for that vintage feel, along with our signature candlescape with hydrangea accents and simple altar pieces in stone urns.

We had an array of different table arrangements that included the simple ivory colors with the burgundy and green accents with a chocolate leaf swirl to cover the stems and create a clean look. You'll also see that we created a way to use the bridesmaids bouquets as part of the centerpieces.

Lovely simple design by Simon Lee accented by fluffy white hydrangea. And they lived happily ever after... :)

Bat Mitzvah! A Trio of Spectacular Events for Miss Hailey!

Hailey's Wonder Emporium!!! We had so much fun designing this event. It took place over several days at One World Theatre and had different looks each time. From an all white affair, boot-scootin hill country elegant celebration to a perfectly pink and beautiful brown party just for Miss Hailey - it was an awesome weekend. Thank you so much to the always wonderful Caplan Miller Events for the opportunity and for planning such a flawless celebration.

Pink peonies and pink cymbidium orchids with a little touch of moss for a soft natural feel.

If you're planning an early spring event, cherry blossoms are amazing to use to create height and drama while keeping it soft and pretty with their pretty blooms.

Buffet piece with cherry blossoms, peonies, garden roses, and pink hydrangea. Love the drama!

Tulips are really fun to use. They're so unpredictable because they continue to grow and move toward sunlight even after being cut - we think it gives personality to the design.

This is the "Hill Country Elegant" theme we were talking about. Our latest favorite thing is succulents. The color combo of the succulents, moss, kiwi vine and yellow orchids really make this arrangement fun.

White peonies - oh my!!

Meredith + Chris :: Vintage Villas

Meredith & Chris were married at Vintage Villas last weekend. I was so surprised when Wendee with Lucie's Events called me to say that we could view some sneak peak images of their wedding. She has also blogged about it here. We worked on their design together and came up with some really charming ideas. Meredith had a vision of a touch of shabby chic elegance, romance and of course girly designs. We incorporated garden roses, snow berries, hanging amaranthus, raununcula and other various fluffy flowers for that effect. All centerpieces were in white vessels to keep the attention on the design.

We absolutely love designing weddings for Riverbend Church and Vintage Villas in Austin. Both venues are so gorgeous and we love complimenting that beauty.
