Pop of pink- winter style!

Catching up on a few of our winter events--

I loved this bright pink bridal bouquet--the simplicity of the bridal gown was a perfect backdrop for this PINK bouquet--roses and calla lilies with a little touch of bling.

The bridesmaid wore a beautiful platinum floor length gown-- a formal, 7pm Catholic ceremony.

The bridesmaids bouquets were more pink flowers--I am loving ruffles at the moment--so I thought the ruffle detail was so adorable on these gowns.

Pink,purple and fuschia with a sprinkle of turquoise

 

Here are the pro pics from a wedding earlier this summer--

This bouquet was an explosion of vivid colors,fuschia,purple and hot pinks!

 

A well put together bridal party--remember, this was an outdoor summer event--no jackets for the guys!

I love the color in their shirts and jackets!

 

A simple, gorgeous portrait.

 

And then the cake--also full of color!

Turquoise meets fuschia, pink and purple!

 

This has always been one of my favorite color/flower combos--bright pinks,fuschia and deep purples.The roses,gerbera daisies,dendrobium orchids ,stock and lisianthus make a perfect summer combo.  These brightly colored flowers complemented turquoise dresses--talk about a color combo!

 

Each table featured an isolated flower from the arrangements accented with the  blue votive candles.

 

And the cake was a presentation of color-- the bride's bouquet featured the phalaenopsis orchid blooms along with the other color combinations.

 

These were the adorable jr. bridesmaids --they each carried fuschia bouquets.  The men in the party wore shirts with green/blue pin stripes. I cannot wait to see the pro pics from this event.The colors should create a gorgeous palette for the photography.

Bridal Extravaganza favorites

 

Always a favorite--it is a

POMANDER

 

Sounds like purple is going to be big in the fall and spring

 

The designer's favorite--coral charm peonies, 2 shades of pink roses,orange and green accents.

I'll be adding bridal extravaganza pictures all week-is there anything in particular you would like to see?

Let me know, I love to see comments !!

Holiday weekends

 

Holiday weekends tend to be busy wedding weekends in the Austin area--do you see that gorgeous lake?

Who doesn't want to come to Austin when they get the chance-- when I mention this to brides who are planning their event on a holiday weekend, they sometimes seem surprised.  Memorial Day,Labor Day and the Thanksgiving weekends can be some of our busiest times-- what does this mean? Plan in advance to get  the  vendors of your choice, don't be surprised if there are holiday fees (which staff members get to work while the rest of the world is barbecueing?) and limited availabilties for venues, it is popular for lots of events, not just weddings- graduation parties, company picnics, bachelor and bachelorette parties. Austin presents itself with some unique busy weekends in addition to the  normal holidays- any home Longhorn gameday, the countless festivals-ACL,SXSW just to name a few-- once again, plan accordingly, you can have some great extra entertainment for your out of town guests, just a few reasons why we all love Austin!

 

 

Hot, Hot pink

 

Last spring we designed this all PINK wedding-- and I do mean pink!

The Bridal bouquet featured hot pink roses and stephanotis that were accented with pink rhinestones.

Remember I said pink!
 

Some of the tables featured this low glass square with hot pink roses and petals.

The linens were black, so these really made a statement.
 

This was part of the head table- pink submerged roses, stargazers and pink petals all on top of the black linens.
 

This "ringbearer pillow" was designed with pink roses-- committing to a certain color or a specific flower can certainly make a statement. 

Thanks to Allison over at Focal Point for the photos, this wedding took place at Vintage Villas.
