Veronica Torres and Ade Hazley

Wow! It is day 72 of 2012 and I am behind on posting all the fabulous things that we are involved in. I wanted to start with my September 2011, Labor Day weekend wedding with Ade and Veronica. The queen of social networking for the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau and Ade, Mr. Rock Star Fitness planned a ceremony that infused paying respect to both of their heritages.

Happy New Year! Happy New Wedding Year!

First, I must thank all of my clients for an amazing 2011. I am humbled. Our business continues to grow and many of you are the reason for that. My referral business and partnership have been incredible. Thank you to all of the vendors we had the pleasure of working with to make brides, families, non profits and corporate clients happy.

2012 is starting out fast and I want to share with you the photos from our first open house of the year at Edison's Dallas.
It the place I love for anytime but, particularly for Saturday brunch weddings. It is windowless with great low lights and you think is nighttime. You can still have a full evening after the wedding. Thanks to Lauren, Brittney and Norman for a fabulous evening!

Peyton Turns 1

I had the pleasure of being the floral stylist for Peyton's mommie and daddy, Shaunta and Phillip's wedding. This time we were the planners and designed the decor. Peyton had flowers too! It is no surprise that Shaunta started plannning Peyton's birthday party shorty after she was born. First let me tell you I has soooo much fun!

Shaunta had great ideas. I love DIY clients. They have fun making really cool specialty items. We had the party at their home. I took all the fun things that Shaunta and Sam (her best friend) made and they brought the party to life. From the candy table arrangements, to Peyton photo banners and the cupcake liner balls, and more it was colorful, well done, beautiful and lots of fun. The little people wanted to play and eat candy and cake. The adults had just as much fun as the children. Next year Peyton will have a destination party. Yes! The planning has already begun.

Shades of Blue

In the world of weddings, style is in the eye of the beholder. When you hear what the selection of colors it is one thing, but when you see it is another. I love the odd and the unusual pairings when it comes to wedding colors. Shades of blue have been in vogue with our couples. The accessories, colored glass, ribbon, sand ceremony and linens were all stars. From navy blue to robins egg blue and the colors they were paired with always looked great. Groomsman managed to find the perfect pocket square, tie, or something to work with the must have color their bride selected. And sometimes the groom selected the colors. We had the blues and so will you! Enjoy!

I am a very tactile person when it comes to implementing the elements a client has selected. I have created a series of color style boards that are created with fabrics, findings, magazines, etc. that you can touch and move swatches and finding to see what colors look like together. Here comes the blue!
