Carolyn + Simon's Hotel Ella Wedding | Austin Wedding Coordinator

Carolyn and Simon’s Hotel Ella was hosted on a gorgeous October day. This wedding doesn’t look anything like the fall season and as some might say, we’re here for it. This wedding feels like a refreshing spring day with all the elegant details of a formal winter wedding. Seriously, we love how beautifully the styles from this wedding blended. If Southern Weddings was still around, it could have been plucked right out the pages of any of their issues!

Wedding Dresses

Carolyn and her ladies were absolutely stunning. Carolyn’s fitted, off the shoulder fit and flare was perfection. The classic navy dresses on the bridesmaids were a vision with the pops of pink, yellow, orange and soft blue from the bouquets. Speaking of bouquets, the pink peonies are everything, don’t you think?! Man oh man. It’s hard to beat the beauty of a peony.

Personal Details

We adore how Carolyn and Simon incorporated their sweet pup through their bar signage. The monogram of “The Hieberts” on the greenery outside was fabulous! We also love that they selected a band - they knew their crowd was going to want to party it up. They may have even jumped up on stage a time or two. It was so much fun seeing them really ENJOY the day and stay in the moment!

Wedding Season

Fall! October to be exact

Seema + Anish's Renaissance Austin Wedding | Indian Wedding Planner

During the New Year, we have a habit of reflecting and remembering the milestone moments. As we enter the new DECADE, we are blown away by the amazing couples we’ve had the privilege to work with. This family is extra special to us because this is our second time working with them- one of our team members planned Seema’s brother’s wedding over a decade (so crazy to write that) ago, so this family is near and dear to their hearts. Being able to celebrate with them during two different decades is the highest honor. So of course we’re kicking off 2020 recapping the day with you!

Some of you may know that Indian weddings are multi-day celebrations filled with a variety of events, and it was our sincere pleasure to help with every moment of this wedding.

Although there are a few more logistics to consider for this venue (especially regarding transportation and rentals), it was so much fun to work here!

Jess and Rorie’s day was hosted on a gorgeous April afternoon that couldn’t have been more perfect!

There were a few things that really stood out about this wedding- the super fun color palette, the amazing food and the music choices. These two really personalized the day and it shows in these pictures!

#RorieSaidJess

We leave you with some parting lyrics from one of their ceremony songs, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” by IZ Kamakawiwo'ole…

Someday, I wish upon a star

Wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where trouble melts like lemon drops

High above the chimney top

That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly

And the dreams that you dare to

Oh why, oh why can't I?

Well, I see trees of green and red roses too

I'll watch them bloom for me and you

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Lauren and Salen's Villa Del Lago Wedding | Austin Wedding Designer & Planner

Formal Jewish Wedding Austin- Something to Celebrate_0215.jpg

You’d never have known that on Lauren + Salen’s wedding day, a huge storm rolled through 10 minutes before the guests started to arrive. It was crazy rain and wind! So crazy, in fact, that we had to enact plan B (and C) in a hurry!

The vendor team was phenomenal, with the photographer, videographer, caterer, and DJ all helping us to get everything moved and re-set undercover, and with an SOS call to the florist, their team turned back to construct a new chuppah from scratch.

But looking at the photos now, you can see that the couple made the best of it and everyone was all smiles in time for the ceremony!

This beautiful venue, Villa Del Lago, is one of our favorites, but has a new owner and isn’t continuing events past the end of this year. We’re so happy Lauren and Salen were able to host their wedding here- as it was a perfect fit for them, despite the initial weather challenges.

Wedding Details

Lauren’s first look with her dad gave us ALL the feels.

This was a full kosher wedding.

The black and white color palette was timeless and stunning!

Carly + Caleb's Ma Maison Wedding | Dripping Springs Wedding Coordinator

Wedding at Ma Maison - Austin Wedding Planner_0550.jpg

Carly and Colt’s wedding was hosted on a crisp February day at Ma Maison. These two were a breeze to work with- the day was dedicated to their love and focused on a laid-back yet, elegant celebration.

Austin Wedding Venue

The couple held their ceremony outside at The Grove. This is one of the shining stars of the venue- it has a built-in stone around and a gorgeous surrounding landscape of trees. The arch was decorated with a lush floral arrangement and the aisle was lined with burgundy rose petals. Wild Bunches accented the ceremony chairs with clusters of greenery (a variety of eucalyptus and a touch of hearty ruscus).

After a few photos (aren’t their pups adorable?!), it was time for their reception in The Great Hall. Almost 150 friends and family members joined the Newlyweds for a delicious buffet dinner and dancing.

Wedding Colors

The couple selected a beautiful mix of burgundy, ivory and peach, with plenty of greenery accents. Carly’s bouquet was absolutely gorgeous -the cascading burgundy amaranth added so much movement & dimension. It paired beautifully with the soft flowiness (we know this isn’t a real word, but it should be!) of her dress. We also loved the mixed styled bridesmaids’ dresses.

Meredith + Stephen's Ma Maison Wedding | Dripping Springs Wedding Planner

Reception at Ma Maison - Austin Wedding Planner_0497.jpg

When Plan B turns out just as pretty as Plan A, we’re happy campers! Meredith and Steven’s Ma Maison early spring wedding was one for the books. The decor was super chic, the couple an absolute blast and everyone a complete pleasure to work with.

Although the couple originally planned to get married in The Grove, the call was made to move the cocktail hour space, The Trellis. This indoor-outdoor space still offers a great view of the surrounding grounds, but much more protection from the elements. It was an absolutely gorgeous ceremony - but truthfully, the design elements would have been stunning just about anywhere! Big shout-out to Wild Bunches for being so great about the changes!

The couple was still able to take advantage of the grounds and got some stunning photos in front of The Green Cathedral (perhaps one of the most signature visuals at Ma Maison).

Kelly + Wes's Allan House Wedding | Austin Wedding Designer & Planner

Wedding at The Allan House- Austin TX Planner_0848.jpg

Kelly and Wes’s Allan House wedding was a dream! This outdoor garden fairytale was brimming with classic, chic details. We were delighted to help this sweet couple with everything from their budget to their vendor selections.

The wedding day was incredibly Intimate (under 90 guests) - the ambiance was fantastic and there was no shortage of great food and fantastic music. We love that the couple prioritized having an amazing experience for themselves and the guests.

Wedding Menu

We had so much fun with Kelly and Wes at their tastings to design this menu!

For cocktail hour, Steak tartare spoons, Mushroom polenta cakes and Blackened shrimp tostadas were passed in the courtyard while we flipped the room (as we say in wedding world) from ceremony to reception set-up.

The plated dinner was either Texas Ribeye or Seared Redfish with Duck Fat Roasted Potatoes, Roasted Asparagus with lemon vinaigrette and Kabocha Squash with farro and parmesan. You’ll see the tiniest F or S at the bottom of each place card, which allowed the servers to know which mean each guest selected. Tip- an option is to switch up the colors or design on the cards or add some kind of embellishment (feathers, hand drawn detail, stamp, etc.)

Music Choices

As the cocktail hour came to a close, guests heard “Your Hand In Mine” by Explosions in the Sky.

Mr & Mrs Wray were introduced to the tune of “When the Levee Breaks” by Led Zeppelin and the couple shared their first dance and husband and wife to "Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison.

Kelly and her dad chose "How Sweet It Is" by James Taylor for the Father-Daughter dance, while Wes and his mom selected "Days Like This" by Van Morrison for Mother-Son dance.

A bit later in the evening the band surprised the officiant with their rendition of Happy Birthday.

To wrap up the night, Kelly and Wes shared a private Last Dance to "My First, My Last, My Everything" by Barry White performed live, once guests cleared courtyard. It was an ADORABLE moment that every couple deserves! If you want to have some private time with your sweetie during the wedding day, a first look and/or last dance is a great time to do it.

Eric & Liza's Ma Maison Wedding | Dripping Springs Wedding Designer & Planner

03_03_2019_Eric _ Liza Wedding-606.jpg

If you follow us on Instagram, you likely already know that we love Ma Maison weddings! This venue has so much to offer- lots of character, plenty of space and gorgeous landscapes. it’s one of our favorites in the Austin area and we’re thrilled to share Eric + Liza’s wedding day with you!

Although the weather wasn’t exactly cooperative (let’s say spring wasn’t feeling ready to be “sprung”), it was still a gorgeous day for this duo!

Wedding colors

Eric and Liza wanted a French Garden inspired theme. They couple went for a color palette that we’re calling a the new classic- white and blush, with touches of taupe, green and just a hint of purple. It was organic, without tipping the scales to boho. It was also fresh and light, which pairs great with Ma Maison’s warm wood interior .

Wedding Ceremony

Liza did a first look with her dad, as well as her brother. When we had the opportunity to see their photos, It was one of our favorite moments captured during the day. It didn’t surprise us one bit that everyone got a bit emotional- she looked stunning! Eric’s expression when she walked down the aisle was about as good as it gets! It was a tear-jerker as well and man, it just hit us right in the heart.

The couple said their vows outdoors, surrounded by the lush landscape of Ma Maison. The lovely built-in arch was covered in greenery and white, blush, lavender florals by the talented Stems Floral! The really made it look effortlessly beautiful.

Wedding Reception

The decor for Eric and Liza’s wedding was elegant and inviting. Again, greenery made a big statement, as well as a combination of high and low centerpieces in fluffy florals of white with blush and purple accents. The tables were accented with lovely taupe linens (but we have to say, they photographed so beautifully, emitting a bit of a metallic hue). We also loved the mixed metal look with all the rich wood tones and white florals. It all came together so beautifully- polished and pretty!

Katie + Jonathan's Villa Del Lago Wedding | Austin Wedding Designer & Planner

 
Villa Del Lago Wedding - Austin Wedding Planner_0575.jpg
 

Katie and Jonathan’s Villa Del Lago wedding was absolutely incredible! Despite mother nature’s attempt (and subsequent success) to rain on the wedding day, we made the best of a dreary situation and everything turned our beautifully! Really, if you’re going to have to go to Plan B we hope it’s with gorgeous canopies of lights just like these tents. STUNNING.

There were so many things we loved about this wedding.

First, we have to talk about Katie’s gorgeous dress. She looked stunning. The low V neckline, sparkling fabric and intricate appliqué detail made this a jaw-dropping statement piece that she absolutely radiated in. It was 100% made for her! Jonathan’s expression when he saw Katie for the first time confirmed that this statement-making gown was everything and more than they could ever could have expected or hoped for!

Another thing that we adored about Katie and Jonathan’s wedding day was the floral! The moon arch for the ceremony was perfection. The circular shape has beautiful symbolism and creates the perfect “frame” for vows, and later photos. The personal flowers (bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, flower crowns) were darling- fluffy and full white + blush blooms with touches of greenery. All of the florals created an elegant, inviting ambiance that worked wonderfully at Villa Del Lago.

There are so many details that were customized to this sweet couple.

  • The colorful design of the stationery was a nod to Jonathan’s heritage, along with the wall of Swedish candy.

  • Each food station was themed to reflect a favorite restaurant of Katie and Jonathan’s, and they even designed and built them themselves (with the help of some very talented and generous friends)!

And the personal touches didn’t stop there - the ceremony was officiated by one of Katie’s dear friends (an Austin judge) and the cake was made by Travis County Sheriff Sally Hernandez, and proclamations were delivered at dinner by Mayor Adler, Senator Watson, and Congressman Doggett.

Lastly (although, we truly could go on and on about these two & their big day) is the endless and bountiful laughter shared by everyone. Katie smiled non-stop. Her laughter is absolutely contagious and it’s no doubt that genetics plays a big roll. Her parents are just the sweetest and were overjoyed for this union. They know (as well as everyone else) that this two are perfectly matched. We aren’t sure who giggled, laughed and grinned more, but it sure did feel good to be in their presence.

We loved working with Katie, Jonathan, their friends + family on every step of the design and planning to bring their wedding day to fruition. We also helped Katie & Jonathan with their rehearsal dinner: at Lucy’s on the Lake (more on that later)!

Emily + Ross' Lakeway Resort and Spa Wedding | Austin Wedding Planner

Emily and Ross’ Lakeway Resort and Spa wedding was one of the most joyful days we’ve ever had the pleasure of planning/coordinating. Seriously, this couple is SO nice and Emily is one of the happiest people we’ve ever met. Emily and Ross were so genuinely excited to get married. They spent almost the entire day grinning ear to ear. It was awesome!

Austin Wedding Venue

The Lakeway Resort has a stunning view, gorgeous grounds and amazing staff- which was just icing on the cake for us (and our couple). They have plenty of indoor space (over 24,000 square feet) with panoramic views of Lake Travis. They boast a “rustic chic” vibe, but we think it can be transformed into just about anything with the right team!

Jordan + Nick's Hotel Ella Wedding | Austin Wedding Coordinator

Hotel Ella Wedding- Austin Wedding + Event Planner_0144.jpg

Jordan and Nick’s Hotel Ella wedding was the sweetest southern celebration with countless timeless touches. These two have such warm, loving personalities and working with them was a breeze! Not only did they choose one of our favorite venues for their ceremony + reception, but they worked with some of our favorite vendors too (Spacecraft Entertainment always knows how to keep the party moving)!

The timeless wedding got a modern POP of color from the prettiest purple shade - it was incorporated in the bridesmaid’s dresses and men’s ties. Otherwise, they kept is classic with lots of white, touches of grey, gold and greenery. Jordan’s monochromatic white bouquet included lush peonies and huge ranunculus- a combination that we obsess over every time. Truly gorgeous!

Some of our favorite details- the scarves on every other ceremony chair (although it doesn’t look like it, it was a CHILLY day), the monogram detail on the bridesmaid’s prep PJs and the miniature pies at each place setting for the favors.

Be sure to watch Jordan + Nick’s awesome video by Ladybird! We highly recommend getting a videographer for the big day- it’s always so much fun to see the wedding played back. It goes so darn fast!

Erin + Andy's Prosper House Wedding | Austin Wedding Coordinator

Minimalistic TX Venue Prosper House -Austin Wedding Planner_0347.jpg

There are few things better for us than meeting a couple that wants a wedding that is quintessentially them. When you aren’t worried about trends or what your best friend did, but what matters to you as a couple, your wedding is going to be exponentially better. Having a vision for how you want it to feel and what you want the day to represent is so very helpful to us as planners! We want to pull those elements in while also using our expertise to guide you along the way for all the things that you might not think about.

Erin and Andy’s wedding was a beautiful culmination of all the things that make them, them. They made our job so easy and were troopers when we had to revert to our back-up rain plan for their ceremony .

Fun fact- this adorable duo lives in Australia, so we didn’t meet in-person until the day before the wedding!

Austin Wedding Venue

From the stunning, minimalistic decor to the epic party bus departure, we’re smitten #allthethings from this Prosper House wedding.

The Prosper House’s main hall is 3,000 square feet with 15 foot tall ceilings- the bright, airy quality makes it perfect for the couple who wants to feel as if they’re outdoors, but would prefer the comfort of a/c! Although they can accommodate up to 220, they’re perfectly suitable for smaller events too.

Kady + Nathan's Brazos Hall Wedding | Austin Wedding Designer & Planner

If it’s appropriate to start a blog post with Oh My Goodness, consider it done! Kady and Nathan’s Brazos Hall wedding was a stunner! These two are so in love and so much fun. Working with this family was a blast. We planned and designed the day, but have to admit that this group had great style already. Taking their vision, sprinkling in a few added details and pulling together the stellar vendor team resulted in the absolute perfect day for them.

The Austin Wedding Venue:

Both ceremony and reception were hosted at Brazos Hall. The ceremony was outside on the covered rooftop deck. The reception was inside the main hall. A classic and clean color palette of white with touches of greenery, copper and warm wood tones worked beautifully for the elegant, industrial venue. The tabletop design included beautiful metallic elements and loads of candlelight. So romantic! The show-stopper, however, was the suspended floral arrangement over the head table. This installation was the centerpiece for the reception and anchored the entire design.

Personal Details:

Kady’s brother happens to be fashion designer, Brandon Maxwell. He designed ALL of the ladies’ attire (including Kady’s dress and her rehearsal jumpsuit, which you can see HERE ). If you’re a fashion focused couple (and even if you aren’t), you’re in for a treat! Brandon dresses the likes of Lady Gaga, Michelle Obama and Kate Middleton, so of course everyone looked AMAZING! All of the ladies wore white, which we just loved. Everyone was uniquely attired and it was a true focal point of the day.

If you want to do some Insta stalking, their wedding hashtag was #wisedupmaxedout!

The below “pre-event” photos are courtesy of Jerry Hayes. We’re pretty obsessed with this design (and have a feeling you might be too), so we didn’t think you’d mind a Wedding Details for Days specific gallery! Now, get to pinning!

Justine and Tom - Garden Chic Wedding - Austin Hill Country

I first met Justine and Tom at his sister's wedding, where he was in need of help with a jacket button gone rogue. Little did we know I'd soon be helping him plan his own wedding!

I have so loved getting to work with this family again, and adding Justine to the mix makes it all the more sweet.

We planned a garden chic wedding in the Austin hill country over Memorial Day weekend, and despite a few curve-balls thrown at us by the weather (tornadoes and floods, eek!), we pulled it off beautifully.

Congratulations, Justine and Tom!

With love,

Jessica

Weddings to Celebrate: Kelly and Sheldon

I so loved working with this beautiful couple! Kelly sent me this super sweet email a couple of weeks after their February wedding:

Jessica!

We are so so SO incredibly thankful for everything you did to help our wedding be the success that it was. That entire weekend was amazing and we both agree - "the best weekend of our lives!" I would not have survived/enjoyed Saturday without your help. I still don't know if there were any snaffoos because you did an awesome job of handling EVERYTHING! I recently was watching a reality show episode where one of the cast members was getting married and everything just seemed so disorganized, despite having a coordinator. While watching, all I keptthinking was "oh my gosh....I can't even imagine" and thankfully, I did not! You were organized, prompt, detail oriented, and professional the entire process, from the first phone call (before we were even engaged) until Chateau Bellevue was locked up on Saturday night.

Kelly

As always, we're nothing without our vendor team! Here's Kelly and Sheldon's Cast of Vendors:

 

Lauren and Braxton's Wedding at Smith Chapel and Austin Country Club | Austin Wedding Coordinator

I was delighted to serve as coordinator for Carol on Lauren and Braxton's wedding. Their ceremony was at Riverbend's Smith Chapel, and reception at Austin Country Club. I think my favorite part was the dancing - Lauren is a dance teacher, so guests were wowed by a surprise choreographed father-daughter dance and flash-mob-style bridesmaids dance. So fun!

Lauren and Braxton - Congratulations on a fabulous celebration, and best wishes for an equally fabulous marriage. :)
