Beach Wedding: A Great Escape

June 12, 2013

I was asked to style a small wedding on the beach for a sweet couple eloping.

They wanted to keep it short and sweet then head for dinner at a local patio restaurant.

A driftwood arch was used with burlap draping, seashell garlands and lots of succulents as accent.

Mercury glass votives lit the arch where the Bride and Groom said I Do.

The Bride was so beautiful in an antique gown with jeweled broaches making a statement in her bouquet and hair.

It was a great day full of love.

Off to dinner then to escape into the night.

Thanks to Port Aransas Beach Weddings for the opportunity to style this wedding.

Decision Making: Let Me Sleep On It

September 20, 2012

image source

Recently, research was presented regarding how we make decisions. The results yielded conclusions that we all probably have experienced but never really thought about. It seems to be universal that the more decisions we make, the worse we get at it.

Does that sound familiar? By the end of the day your brain feels fried and it becomes harder to make an easy decision, like what’s for dinner. By the end of a week, one might get increasingly lax about ones schedule. Towards the end of time planning an event, when more decisions are needed and needed quickly, one might become “frozen” and seemingly unable to make a decision.

The research showed that our decision making “muscle” is finite. It becomes fatigued with use. When you add in things like the abundance of research available to you about your themed event (Pinterest, anyone?), the constant stream of information coming at us from Facebook, twitter, email, texts, etc and the decisions that we all have to make to get through the day, our brains can become overloaded and shut down.

So, what do we do about it? Conserve your decision making energy. Rest your brain (the old saying of “let me sleep on it”), reduce the constant bombardment of information where you can, create a plan in the beginning (especially when event planning) and believe in the power of collaboration (if that helps you). In short, decrease the number of decisions you have to make in a day. I feel certain that we all have created strategies to aid us in decision making so keep using the ones that work well for you and discard the ones that don’t.

Have a great week-

Bridal Shower Inspiration: Fall into Wood Decor

September 19, 2012

Fall is upon us and the leaves on the trees will begin to change. Tree accents at weddings are very popular these days. Here is a little inspiration for an upcoming bridal shower I am planning.

The happy couple was engaged under a large oak tree, so I find it fitting to style their shower with tree accents.

Here are are few of my ideas.

Looking forward to their special day. Happy Fall!!

A Texas Chic Safari: Shelby+Grant’s Barn Wedding

September 17, 2012

How much fun was this wedding to plan?

Take a safari infused venue with real live animals like zebras, giraffes and ostriches, a rustic barn and beautiful trees surrounding and you get an amazing day for Shelby and Grant.

To welcome guests, fresh lemonade served in quilted mason jars greeted guests as they arrived.

The barn was decorated with handmade paper flowers and tea stained doilies for that vintage feel.

Safari stripes made an appearance here and there.

The dessert table offered a variety of sweets such as vanilla bean cake with butter cream frosting, pecan pie, brownies, sand tarts, hand decorated cookies and chocolate truffles.

Mercury glass votive candles glimmered as the guests danced the night away.

And collective jars of baby’s breath dotted the barn to add that vintage touch.

Sweet snacks were displayed in a vintage pick up truck bed. The perfect setting for fun party treats like popcon, candies and doughnut holes.

Despite the South Texas rain shower that wasn’t in my plan, everyone had a great time as the rain disappeared into a beautiful starry night at the ranch.
