Missy & Greg

How good-looking are they??? This sounds so cliché, but Missy is as pretty inside and she is out- one of those girls who is so well-loved by everyone.  Working with such genuine couples makes my job so easy and so rewarding!  I loved working with Missy’s family because the really trusted me and the vendors I sent them to.  Because they were so trusting, their wedding was flawless in design and detail!  Check out Fancy’s (that’s what I call Fancy Cakes by Lauren) masterpiece; the center of the foyer and first things guests saw as they entered.  Fete des Fleurs designed a gorgeous cake table covered in gardenias!

Elaine & Brian

Elaine and Brian were high school sweethearts- I love it!  Elaine did not want the traditional hotel ballroom for her wedding. Her father is the CEO of Omni hotels, so it only made sense to use an Omni property, so we transformed the restaurant area, Dover’s, of the Omni Park West into a cool, hip venue for their reception.  They had a precious, candlelit ceremony at Prestonwood Baptist- of course, it was flawless because of their meticulous coordinators.  Then, guests pulled into the Omni entrance where, the Omni’s AV Team, projected Elaine and Brian’s monogram onto the valet entrance.  Stacey, with The Wildflower, proposed that large floral arrangements weren’t really fitting for the space, so we did more décor- mahogany boxes with sweet arrangements, green apples were spread throughout the room, and bright white paper lanterns covered the large dance floor!  It looked incredible!  The guests had a wonderful time, and the staff at the Omni was unbelievable!  A sweet night for a sweet couple!

Morgan & Coby

I miss Morgan and Coby so much! What a great couple that became and remain great friends of mine. We worked together very closely since early summer; the planning process was such a wonderful experience. They Ray Family treated me like family, and I just feel so blessed to have worked with all of them! Okay- enough of the sap! Morgan and Coby came to me with a picture of exactly what they wanted- because of their AWESOME vendors, that was perfectly achieved! They had a lovely and intimate ceremony at Prestonwood Baptist’s Faith Chapel; Prestonwood’s team of coordinators does an incredible job of taking care of their couples. The reception was at Gleneagles Country Club. Again- Gleneagles’ staff is PHENOMENAL! I love working with them because their focus is the bride and groom! Lite Dallas and The Wildflower transformed the room- the colors were amazing! It truly was a beautiful night for a beautiful couple!

What I loved most was Morgan and Coby’s choice for “favors.” Coby just started his own ministry (Check it out! http://www.cobyrayministries.org/), so rather than spend $5 on a box of chocolates that no one cares about, he purchased Bibles for troops overseas. Each guest wrote a note inside, and Coby shipped them off as a way to spread the joy of their special day in such a unique and touching way. Guests were really touched by this gesture. Can you tell how much I love Moran and Coby?!?

Coby loves to advertise for Blessed Unions!

Tate Event

Working with Tate Financial Group of McKinney on such a special celebration was a true privilege to be a part of! The key to its success was the talented vendors who made it all come together- Edwards Floral Design, The Wildflower, Suite 206, Gil’s Elegant Catering, Lite Dallas, Gloss Luxury Rentals, and Justin Cash. And, of course, Kate Mefford of Juxtaposed Photography captured every detail and emotion of the evening, and The McKinney Cotton Mill provided the perfect setting! The Tate Family wanted to carry out the look of “Western Chic,” and I think this was perfectly achieved! It was a classy, special, and memorable evening for Mr. Tate, his staff and family, as well as his committed clients.

Rick’s prepared the most delicious Southern pies for dessert, a la mode, of course!

Shiner Bock passed on silver trays- I love it!
