Nearlyweds don’t sleep on bringing elements from your wedding invitations into your wedding decor! Our recent couple, Allie & Travis, wanted a custom toile using illustrations that told their story as a couple. From there, we collaborated with Allie on bringing that toile into the wedding day as a custom es**rt display in their reception. Once all the cards were removed, guests were treated to an unobstructed view of each of the designs and why they mattered to the couple! 🥰

I couldn’t let National Pet Day pass without introducing yall to Bella!

Bella is Dennis & Cori’s pet dog, and although she was doing great at doggy day care and classes, the couple didn’t bring her to the wedding, but knew they wanted her to be a part of their special day.

One way they did that was by placing her in their wedding cake! Cori found personalized mini dog figurines online, purchased one in Bella’s likeness, and dropped her off to Gina a week before the wedding reception so that the cake team could include Bella on the cake while they decorated it! So cute! 😍🐶

One thing about me is I am a sucker for mirror balls 🪩😍. The only thing better than them by themselves, is when I meet a couple who loves them as much as I do, and that’s Maggie & Alex!

Maggie had impeccable style and decor tastes! While we were coordinating her wedding day she gave us a few boxes of these disco balls in all different sizes and let us go to town putting them everywhere! 😍

13 years ago when I started my wedding planning career, I sent out introductory packages to 25 Houston wedding vendors who I was excited to work with. I selected the list based on market research and word of mouth. Of those 25 vendors only one responded to my package and invited me to come tour her showroom, and it was Rebekah at .htx.

Over the years I’ve built relationships with certain wedding pros that I say I would lay on a sword for, but Rebekah definitely tops the list. Since 2011, we’ve collaborated to ensure many of my couples on their big day.

I’m grateful to her and for opening their showroom and beautiful talents and inventory up to my team to have our team photo shoot in last month. 😍

Personalizing your venue with photos of you as a couple is such a great way to infuse yourselves into the space and make it truly your own. Whether it's a traditional or contemporary venue, hanging photos is a sophisticated and memorable way to add a personal touch to your special day.

“When we decided to get married in Houston, we were lost and overwhelmed. But Shaun came to the rescue and made everything seem like a breeze. Not only did he exceed our expectations, but he was also flexible and understanding with our long-distance schedules. We don't know what kind of train wreck we would have encountered without him and his team by our side every step of the way. And now that we live here in Houston, we're grateful to have made such awesome friends through the process. If you're in the Houston area and in need of a wedding planner, Shaun and his team are the ones to hire. Plus, his vendors are pretty awesome too!”

While a wish lantern send-off wasn't possible, we still managed to bring the same spirit to this couple's grand exit, in one of my earlier weddings! Guests wrote their wishes for the newlyweds on candles, which we later placed in individual lanterns and lit as the couple made their way into their limo. A wish lantern send-off is a traditional way for guests to send their well wishes for the newlyweds up to the Hesvens as they begin their new journey together.

One of the most important things to consider when choosing a wedding day hair and makeup artist is experience. Make sure to look for someone who has a proven track record of creating beautiful wedding day looks and ask for references or to see a portfolio of their work.
