Our version of sunshine....

A few weeks ago, we headed out to Vintage Villas for a Sunday afternoon open house and yes, it was hot!

These adorable pomanders graced the aisle chairs..

these crystal curtains hung from the gazebo, accented with mercury glass and a few randomly placed daisies.

Adds a touch of elegance to this outdoor lake venue--I can see these at so many places...

Oh, fall wedding flowers....

As we patiently wait the fall season, after our brutally hot summer, I thought I would share some favorites from last fall.

A bridal bouquet filled with seasonal fall flowers--dahlias, scabiosa, lisianthus, miniature calla liles, protea just to name a few.

Bridesmaids had very similar bouquets, smaller and with less purple...

And ceremony decor to finish the look---

Succulents.....

Looking back on a wedding from fall 2010....a destination wedding that took place in Horseshoe Bay.

A few requests from the bride and groom--lots of orange ( Longhorn pride), a multicultural ceremony (Vietnamese+Christian),

succulents (their favorites) and simple.

The brides bouquet--delivered at 8am for the Vietnamese tea ceremony and still looking gorgeous for the evening ceremony and reception.

Possibly, one of my favorite centerpieces of all time--a combination of pillar candles, succulents and cactus--simple, elegant with a hint of organic.

Bride and bridesmaids.
