Deborah & Willie's Wedding

Congratulations to Deborah+Willie! We had the pleasure of coordinating their happy day last weekend at The CW Hill Country Ranch. It was a nice, cool day with no rain which made our bride very happy! As guests arrived, they signed the guest book and placed their gifts in the gift trough. We loved all the unique features that the venue included, especially all the wooden barrel tables and antique pieces you will find throughout the space. Deborah had a lot of creative ideas that she turned into DIY decor for the wedding. After the "I DOs," guests enjoyed mingling outside with cocktails while the Bride and Groom took pictures. Lots of live music, dancing and fun filled the night as Deborah and Willie enjoyed their first night as husband and wife! Sparks flew as the couple bid farewell to their friends and family. Here are some highlights we captured, enjoy!

Deanna & Rick's Wedding

Happy Wedding Wednesday! Today, we look back on Deanna+Rick's beautiful hill country wedding. The ceremony took place along the Guadalupe River under massive cypress trees. There was a chance of rain that day, but with a little prayer and happy thoughts, the rain blew over - thank goodness! It was a hot day, so there were iced-down waters for guests waiting at the ceremony site, along with program fans. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails, appetizers and the DIY photo booth. Texas BBQ was on the menu followed by cake & lots of dancing! The newlyweds bid a farewell with sparklers. We hope this brings inspiration to your event!

Tips for Tuesday: Rain Plan

All this rain has us thinking about Megan+John's wedding that was last year. It also happened to have been raining from Hurricane Harvey. Tips for Tuesday: have a rain plan that can be quickly executed. Our original plan was to have the ceremony in the courtyard, but that was impossible with the weather. We tried to make it as equally beautiful by opening the curtains so guests could at least see outside the windows and adding an archway with greenery, that happened to be beer hops. Happy Planning! 💜

Floral Feature Friday

Happy Friday! Today, we want to showcase Flowers by Grace's beautiful wedding designs from Nikki+Tyler's wedding. Though it was a spring wedding, these blooms could also be used for a summer wedding. We adore the combination of pink roses and greenery with the touch of berries. A unique feature in the centerpieces were the wooden boxes that were engraved with the couple's custom ranch brand. Nikki+Tyler's wedding had a hill country flair, but we can envision these designs being used in a garden setting as well. We hope this brings inspiration to your event!

Grand Opening Celebration

Yesterday, I had the joy of helping Nancy and Michael with their studio grand opening! Nancy Berger Photography and Dynamic Films Studio are a husband and wife team. While Nancy focuses and specializes in maternity and newborn photography, Michael specializes in weddings and events. 

It is still in the works, but Nancy is going to offer her adorable studio to be rented for showers and kid's birthday parties. It is the absolute perfect space for a small celebration! 

Nancy & Michael's studio is located in Gruene Lake Village shopping area. If you haven't been there, grab your family and make a day of it because it is such a quaint shopping village with lots of fun things to do. The grand opening celebration was so much fun! As guests arrived, they grabbed a drink from the Sipsy Camper and entered in the raffle drawing. Children got their face painted by Moana and guests mingled while enjoying the space. Giveaways were announced every 30 minutes and we had lots of happy guests who won amazing prizes! Thank you to all the families who came out to support Nancy and Mike. We wish them great success in their new space!
