Austin Country Club--summer rustic

A wedding we designed earlier this summer--with a touch of summer elegance--another take on purple.

I loved the organic runners with the brown accents--flowers in purples/greens/terracotta.

The cocktail tables draped in this gorgeous floorlength satin linen with a metal container filled with flowers and foliages.

The tall centerpieces--mostly branches with the hanging votives.

One of my favorites--hanging votives on the chandelier--the cake was displayed directly beneath--gorgeous!

Ribbons.....

This has turned out to be one of my personal favorite weddings of the summer. Growing up in the south, we definitely love our ribbon here! This delicate sweet ribbon treatment was displayed on the three of The Driskill's chandeliers--along with some bling and pomanders.

And of course, the blingy tree made an appearance--girls of the south--a touch of whimsy with elegance.

One of my favorite photos-- thanks to

Barbara of Barbarasbrides.com for connecting us with this bride,

to Tyler Schmitt, The Mill photography studio, for making what we do look its best.

These few images were featured over on Styleunveiled last week--thanks for the shout out!

Fruits and flowers

 

Fruit and flowers are a  great complement- the trio of vases with the lemons  and floating candles are a casual centerpiece.  These were at The Top of the Oasis recently. The citrus-y scent is always so refreshing and unexpected.

 

A more elaborate of use of fruit-used to create a base for this floral "chandelier" of hanging candles, orchids and rosebuds. This centerpiece was placed on half of the tables- brown and pink linens completed this look.

 

A simple vase of apples paired with  submerged green spide mums. Simple and elegant-sometimes a statement is best made with a few great elements!
