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.

Thanks to Hooked On photography for these images.

Raspberry at Horseshoe Bay

An explosion of hot pink on the lawn at The Horseshoe Bay Marriott Lawn-

complete with a "D" of hot pink petals--

Not too many palm trees in Central Texas-- so makes for a fun photo op!

A gorgeous bouquet of raspberry pink peonies--the exact shade of the bridesmaids dresses and a cowboy as an accessorie!

Favorite Summer weddings

 

This wedding was one of our favorites from last year--Becky worked with Amber on all of the details at this ceremony and reception out at  The Horseshoe Bay Resort.  The arbor was accented with hanging crystals, candles and flowers in shades of cream and greens--Amber's gown is a very soft shade of mocha.

 

One of our favorite aisles--pomanders hanging from shepherd's hooks, petals covering the aisleway and  hydrangea and green ribbons on the other chairs--can you tell it is over 95degrees?

 

This aisle was put together very close to the ceremony time due to the heat--mid June=hot!

Heat is definitely something to consider when choosing an outdoor event in Texas in the summer!

Outdoor Ceremonies

 

We are so lucky to have great outdoor venues in the Austin area.

I love the lanterns suspended from the towering trees-this is Mercury Hall.

There a few pomanders on the chairs near the front.  The bride's shoes were the exact shade of pink of the lanterns.

 

This is a chuppah we created on the "beach" at Horseshoe Bay, unfortunately, this beach is no longer available, it is now a lawn.

 

This is the old arbor at Umlauf sculpture gardens- we will be decorating the new "arbor" in a couple of weekends- I'll try to remember and get some photos.

 

This is the lawn area of the Four Seasons hotel- once again the lanterns are suspended above the  ceremony area- these featured candles that illuminated the area as the evening approached!
