A few of our favorite things

Right now I have an obsession with two things. Lights and Layers.

Let’s start with lights. LIGHTS LIGHTS LIGHTS! Is there anything more amazing? We are seeing ways to use lights that combine functionality and innovation…in turn, taking your event to the next level!  My latest love of lights is the use of vertical party lights as backdrops or even boarders at events.

These lights go perfectly go with the exposed brick wall but also would be amazing for an outdoor event. And the length?! They make a dramatic statement that will give any event that extra something special! Something else that I’ve been dying to do is a DIY layered background for a dessert table or candy bar. I love this one I found on Green Wedding Shoes!

All you need for this look is crepe paper flowers, paper banners, and paper wheels. Then layer, layer, layer!! Have fun and be creative with it!!

Looking back {Deauna & Zachary}

As we bring this first month of the year to a close, we would be remissed if we didn’t take the time to reflect on some of the wonderful events that we had the honor of being a part of ! It was during these times; through the laughter as well as the tears of joy that we knew what we were put on this earth for! We would like to share these special moments throughout a series of posts entitled Looking Back!

We will start with Deauna & Zachary! While Deauna worked and lived in Austin, we were planning her fabulous wedding to take place in Dallas, Texas which would eventually be home to her and future hubby Zachary. Their stunning wedding was set against the breathtaking backdrop of the 3-acre estate known as Mediterranean Villas.

We caught up with Deauna & Zachary, and here is what they had to say…

1.) What was your favorite part of the planning process?

Our meetings with Kandi. We always had such a good time, we laughed, brainstormed ideas, and just shared our vision. It was exciting to meet and watch our vision come to fruition.

2. What is your favorite thing about being married?

The feeling of completion.

3. What advice you would give to a bride-to-be about planning their wedding?

I would tell her that it is THEIR day, so do what THEY want, everyone doesn’t have to understand or like the choices that they make for their wedding. With every decision to ask herself- “When we look back at these pictures a year form now will we regret having done this the way Mom wanted rather than the way we wanted?” We have looked at our album and video several times and can say that we wouldn’t change a single thing.

4.) If you had to start the planning process all over again, would you do anything different? Why or why not?

 Yes. I would have planned to be prepared to do things without the assistance of my bridal party.  Everyone wants to be apart of your wedding but often times don’t want to invest the time or money needed to bring your dreams to fruition. I would have put aside some extra cash and put aside a lot of emotion.

We wish Deauna & Zachary many years of wedded bliss, love and happiness!

Smooches!

 

KR {Featured} Love, Wed, Bliss

So we are tickled pink, or in this case peach that our stationery was featured today on Love, Wed, Bliss! This photo shoot, orchestrated by Sabrina Nicole Photography and the adorable Modern Whimsy, was so much fun to put together. The peach and lace theme was carried throughout the decor and into the stationary as well by using peaches as place card holders and by adding subtle touches of lace to the invitations, and the cute signage that adorned the silver flasks, and glass beverage decanters – Just peachy!!
