Red returns

 

A few more details from last fall's classic red, black and silver wedding.

The terrace at Villa Antonia--red petals, silver chair ties, greenery and fabric for the arbor on a gorgeous fall evening.

 

This cupcake tower  smelled heavenly-- each tier featured a different flavor and I absolutely love the small sugar flowers atop each cupcake-- I think it adds a finishing touch!

 

I just love weddings--a happy couple!

Pink and green final details

 

Back to the Lakeview room-- I love this setup for a reception, the long table down the center of the room with the dinner tables flanking each side.The bride and groom are seated on the end of the table.

 

We used both tall and low floral pieces and candles for this long table.  These tables take more components= $$ than the normal head table - but it makes an extraordinary presentation.

 

A few of the components- pink raspberry hydrangea, green hydrangea, gerbera daisy and bells of Ireland accented with candles, candles.

Victorian Lilac at Vintage Villas

 

Have I mentioned I love this ribbon treatment on chairs--here it is at the

Gazebo area of Vintage Villas.

 

We only put the ribbons on the last row of each side-- Lindsay's colors were Victorian lilac, pink and dark purple with a splash of green.

 

Here are all the colors in one arrangement--love the color combo!

 

A few tall centerpieces on the white linens with just a lilac runner and chair tie-- simple, but yet so elegant!

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!
