Neely & Travis- and Easter weekend wedding

It was a beautiful misty afternoon this Spring when this lovely couple from Houston made Austin the destination for their Easter weekend wedding. We were so happy to work with this lovely bride planning her wedding and coordinating her wedding flowers. Purples, blues, greens and ivory was the color palette and Easter eggs adorned every place setting.

Thank you to Paula and Roy Allen Stagg for the beautiful photos!

Orange & Green is NOT scary!

I had the pleasure of attending The Knot's annual Austin party and was very surprised to realize my outfit matched the event! :-) Laguna Gloria was magnificent as always and we all got a little sprinkle from the clouds to cool us all off to enjoy the sunset.




I almost thought twice about putting on my persimmon peep toe wedge slingbacks with my green and white polka dot sundress but I'm glad I did! I modified this vintage find by adding white grosgrain ribbon straps and belt and finishing it off with a white poppy flower in my hair made by yours truly.

I was inspired by the color combo and collected a collage of photos to inspire you all to be a bit more daring!

Berries Galore!

It is still summer in these parts and that means blueberries!!! This time of year I cannot seem to get enough cherries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries- it's a good thing they are some of my favorite colors! The trend seems to be catching on...












Cass & Shane's Wedding- too cute for words!

I enjoyed this wedding so much I couldn't wait to post some photos. Thank you for a friend of the couple for these pictures and I can't wait to see what the wedding photographer captured! These two cute younglings had a wonderful late August wedding deep in the heart of Texas. Family and friends came together to make this day extra special for them and we had the honor of designing, creating the floral and coordinating this sweet nuptial. Purples, blues and greens were the colors for the day and vintage elements were the accents. There was not a huge budget for this wedding so we had to be creative. In lieu of expensive tablecloths or overlays, we dressed up the tables with a collection of vintage scarves and a grouping of bud vases filled with flowers in the color scheme and included some fresh Texas herbs as well.


A Grecian inspired dress draped perfectly on this bride and the super cute silver sandals really made it not feel contrived or stuffy. A handmade little birdcage veil adorned with a vintage brooch accented her hair and a glass of champagne calmed her nerves before the ceremony; in a Bride glass no doubt.


Handmade fabric flowers accented all of the bridesmaids summer locks and pewter silk baby doll dresses with fab purple patent leather sandals complimented their ruby colored toe nails.



A collection of tasty sweets was an awesome parting gift for the guests and kept the kids at the wedding coming back and sneeking seconds...and thirds...and.....The vintage '60s rose paintings added that extra something to the walls of this Texas ranch house.





Each table had a collection of different flowers in the color scheme and added the punch of color needed against the white tablecloths. We were glad for the wind but it did make the scarves blow a bit too much.

Cobalt blue was the color for the day and a trick to find in the summer flower selections.
Belladonna delphinium hit the spot and added the saturated splash of color this August wedding needed along with beautiful deep purples, pinks, and jade green- my favorite color combo!


This sweet wolf-like dog came out of the woods crashed the ceremony but didn't attack anyone, thankfully.


There was a bevy of animals in attendance including this miniature donkey who sounded the alarm once the bride and groom were pronounced husband and wife. The giggles from the guests sweetly dried the tears of joy for this cute couple in love.


Handmade programs of various printed paper were hand stitched and each originals that told Shane & Cassidy's sweet story of their meeting.


A few rain drops began to leak from the clouds just enough to cool us all off then the clouds parted as the couple kissed- so beautiful!


The uber cute ring bearer and flower girl signaled the bridal walk down the aisle with her dad.


And then they kiss...


Glow sticks made their departure in a vintage '66 Lincoln Continental convertible very festive.

I will absolutely be posting more photos of this wedding once I receive the photos from the wedding photographer- I just couldn't wait!
