purple is one of those colors that will never go out of style.  from celebrity gowns to a brides fancy footwear, purple is absolutely one of my most favorite colors!  my bedroom is 4 tones of purple if you really want to know! and the great thing is, even if you do not want a demanding tone of purple in your wedding, event or bedroom, you can choose from over 100's of shades of this amazing color.  whatever look you are going for, always choose a color palette that represents who you are, what you love and how you feel!  happy planning!

thank you to strictly weddings for always being 'oh so fabulous' and featuring some of the most gorgeous weddings in the world!

michelle and steven were married on november 19th in horseshoe bay, texas (we love, love destination weddings!) and this was truly a beautiful wedding that we are so excited to blog!  we loved working with their fun families and had so much fun with michelle as we planned this faboosh celebration.

under a clear tent constructed by the always fab livewire tent specialists overlooking the lake, michelle and her new spouse along with their close family and friends celebrated the night away.

one of my favorite aspects of michelle and steven's wedding were the floral designs.  we designed centerpieces that were all different in some way.  from full, lush designs to drifting and sectioned designs, the flowers embellisehed the beautiful damask linens in soft pink, ivory, chartreuse and peach tones.  

entertainment was provided by the fabulous motion band, cakes by austin based coco poloma cakes and always beautiful photography by thisbe grace photography.  and we cannot forget the parrots!  there were so many exotic birds on the resort which made for some beautiful photographs.  

we also added a few bonus photos from the friday evening rehearsal dinner.  beautiful white shantung linens and periwinkle and ivory/white florals embellished the tabletops.  we love how beautiful michelle looks in her red cocktail dress.  just stunning!

wishing you two sweet souls all of the love and happiness in the world!

'lady chic' was the table theme and honestly, that is right up my alley!  i love romantic color palettes and this is absolutely romance!  one of my favorite elements of the table were the chair slips by wildflower linens.  the sparkly burlap rosette slips were such a chic addition to the table.  the breathtaking china and tabletop linens were provided by ducky-bob's and design and floral by jordan payne events.  

the floral design piece was a fading, drifting design where we started with white/ivory and transitioned into soft yellows and butter tones while using a specific type of flowers to drift down the piece.

another one of my favorite elements of the table are the mini cakes designed by dallas affaires cake co. in lakewood.  they are so pretty and add such an elegant touch to the table.  and menus by orange spot pink nose which top the table off perfectyl!  thank you to all of those fabulous folks who teamed up with us..  we love you all and we are so blessed to have such wonderful talent all around us!
