Planning a wedding in FOUR days...

Sarah & Kyle had originally planned a November wedding. Due to her dad's illness, we had to move it up to July 22nd. It was an emotional day of tears, laughter, and lots of love. I feel so honored that I was able to be there. You could not ask for a more perfect day.

We had four days to put this thing together. I couldn't have possibly done it without the help of these fabulous vendors.

Venue: Cindy Pearson, Vista West Ranch in Dripping Springs
Flowers: Stacey Hogge, Petal Pushers

Sarah's dad was determined to walk his daughter down the aisle.


Such Hollywood glamor....






and of course me doing the bustle...


Sarah Q is famous for her jumping shots... everyone at the wedding did it - including me =)







Sadly, Sarah's dad passed way on Wednesday. Our hearts and prayers to the Stelly family.

Seth & Tori's Wedding - Wildflower Center

Seth & Tori's Wedding
March 31, 2007

Seth and Tori had an amazing wedding at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Their theme was based off of their song "More than love" by the Los Lonely Boys. It was a beautiful affair. Thank you to Allen Doberenz for his eye for detail and professionalism.




Some detail shots...


We hung glass votives from the arbor to create a romantic feel. Tori chose to use pink pillows as kneeler's as part of the ceremony. By renting the iron centerpieces, we saved additional costs on flowers. We decorated the iron pieces with hydrangea, roses and candles. It made a huge statement.

March 17, 2007 - Stephanie & Mario

Stephanie & Mario are such a great couple. Very laid back and easy to love. Their wedding took place at Texas Old Town in Kyle. Thanks to AnneMarie Photography we were able to get some really great shots. They're so creative and fun! Below are the rest of the fabulous vendors that made this day possible!





Texas Old Town, Kyle, TX
Fun locations. There are a number of different ceremony locations and the main hall can hold a huge number of people. Larry, the owner, is very accommodating. Texas Old Town also provided the food and it was super delicious!



Petal Pushers, Dripping Springs, TX

Stacey is truly amazing. Not only did she "wow" all of us with her skill but she went totally above and beyond. Stephanie's bouquet had to weigh at least 5-6 pounds - easy!




Michelle's Patisserie, Leander TX

Michelle's cake are completely sinful! You can't go wrong with any of her flavors and she is an awesome artist. Win-win situation!




Texas Unlimited Band, Texas

These guys are phenomenal! From Texas country to Justin Timberlake's "Sexy Back" they rocked the whole joint. I can't gush about this band enough. Check them out at Speakeasy and other venues. Their schedule is posted on their website.



LucieMarie, Leander, Texas

Angela as most of you know is my baby sister. She and her team of beauty rockstars traveled to San Marcos to make Stephanie and her girls picture perfect. (Not that Stephanie or her gorgeous bridesmaids needed any help)


Thanks to everyone who worked so hard! A special shout out to my fabulous interns! Especially Lauren who was steaming linens for hours! Great job ladies and I look forward to seeing your smiling faces next time!

I'm still working on getting all my pictures in order so I can update this blog... but I wanted to mention that my class at Texas State is over. The good news is that they want me back in the fall - I guess people weren't that bored. I did have some phenomenal speakers, so that probably had a lot to do with it. Thanks to Amelia Tarbet Photography, Petal Pushers, A Wedding Cake Moment, Classy Concepts and Alexia Gavela Bridal.

A huge big super duper million times thank you to all the interns that helped me with weddings this spring. I truly could not have done it with out all of your help.
