Just got back from vacationing in Cabo! 4 kids-free days to lounge by the pool with margs, guacamole and ceviche was just what the doctor ordered!🍹

There was a destination wedding taking place that I couldn’t help but creep on all day during setup. Details/logistics ju**ie over here 🙋🏻‍♀️ It is so fun seeing everything come together. I was loving the black goblets, pampas grass and large palm leaves. So beachy, but still so sophisticated.

Even though it was a beach wedding, the wedding party was formal in their black dresses and suits and the bride went with a traditional wedding gown vs casual, beachy dress. Just goes to show you, your wedding is your day to do whatever you want!

You may be wondering why you would need a wedding planner for a destination wedding when the resort will provide a day-of planner for you. I just have one question for you to consider:
🌴 Have you ever tried to manage getting 100+ people through customs? 😬

Other things to consider:
🌴 Planned events and excursions leading up to the wedding (your guests made the trip and will expect other activities during their stay)
🌴 Your all-inclusive package is ideal for budgetary purposes and removes the stress of sourcing vendors, but they will still need to be communicated with prior to, during and after the wedding
🌴 Any decorations or extras will need to either be shipped ahead of time, or packed. No turning around once you get there! And depending on location, potentially no where to run and grab things last minute

Considering a destination wedding? It’s a fun way to give your guests a vacation and get married on paradise. It (can) be budget-friendly as well. But my recommendation would be to still hire a planner to lean on throughout the process and manage all of the logistics.

My husband and I grabbed drinks at the resort bar on the beach and caught the tail end of the reception. We considered crashing the dance floor during “Shout” and becoming real-life wedding crashes. Should we have done it? 🤣

E-I-E-I-OH SO CUTE! 🍋

This Old MacDonald had a Farm themed birthday was so fun to pull together. Pro tip: the design and inspiration flow much more easily once you have a theme! That’s why it’s step 1 in my how to throw a perfect toddler bday reel 😉

Coming up with a theme can feel daunting and you may feel inclined to pass on some that feel “over-done.” My suggestion, do what makes you and your child the happiest. Don’t overthink it.

Currently planning another toddler birthday party and girlfriend wants unicorns and rainbows. You know what never gets old?? Unicorns and freakin’ rainbows! 🦄🌈

Well, darlin', I'm just tryin' to tell ya

It’s wedding week for Megan + Andrew! I cannot wait for their beautiful outdoor wedding this Saturday at the gorgeous Marie Gabrielle Restaurant and Gardens. It’s going to be so much fun and full of (dare I say it) COLOR 🎉 Cheers to a perfect day ahead! 🥂

And that’s a wrap y’all! ✨
Time to pop the champagne🥂🍾

My first wedding is in the books and it seriously could not have been any more amazing! I’m still on cloud nine! Like every event there, were some curveballs and some seriously unpredictable weather to navigate (Texas, amirite?!) but I loved every minute of it! Getting to be a part of something that brings people so much joy is so incredibly fulfilling.

Kaitlin and Sean are dream clients that I’m lucky to also call friends. Just like raising kids, it takes a village! Thank you to the awesome vendor team that brought Kaitlin and Sean’s vision to life this weekend. The Barkers have left the building! ✌🏻

Confessions of an event planner: something will go wrong on your wedding day 🤭 I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s inevitable that something won’t go exactly as you planned.

Hiring a planner can make all of the difference to tackle anything that unexpectedly arises. This will allow you, the wedding party and family to be hands off and blissfully unaware of any snafus on the big day. And here’s a little secret: the issues will either go unnoticed to your guests, or the creative solutions will end up working even better than originally planned 🤗

Happy Friday y’all! 🎉 A little secret about yours truly: I HATE keeping secrets. So let’s just say, I was glad when this surprise birthday weekend was over so I wouldn’t blow it! 🤣

Looking to host a get together or celebration sometime soon? Consider booking an event planner to manage all the details and execute the event for you! The best part of my job is seeing the client’s reaction when they arrive and just get to relax, enjoy the moment and take it all in. It’s a really weird concept, but it makes me really happy to take your stress from you! ✨

And I promise to *try* not to ruin any surprises! 😬

The tablescape of your wildest dreams 🌻🌾🌿 Aah ah aaah (Taylor Swift’s Wildest Dreams plays in head)

This was one beautiful 30th birthday celebration! It was so fun turning an ordinary table into one that popped with a bright and warm wildflower theme. Add some awesome downtown Dallas views and you’ve got the perfect setting for the big 3️⃣0️⃣✨
