Kaitlynn and Wade’s wedding was such a blast! Kaitlynn had a really specific vision for her wedding day and it was so much fun making that come to life. After a CRAZY year (for everyone on the planet) it was such a breath of fresh air to be a part of a CELEBRATION for such genuine and kind people. I love the way her invites turned out… check out those beautiful flowers and details in the print. The pretty silver tray we photographed on was her grandmothers, which is so special! They had generations of good taste in her family!

Contigo Ranch was the perfect place for her family and friends to celebrate.  Jen Dillender captured the joy and love in their hearts and faces and ALL the pretty details! Sarah Stip Videography was great to work with and I cannot wait to see the footage! Sunkissed and Made Up did her squad’s hair and makeup, and this Jenny Yoo bridesmaid dress  really did look amazing on all of them.

Viridian did the florals and really “wowed” everyone with this grounded arch. It looked dramatic and stunning but like it belonged there forever! 

See what I mean by “joy and love”? They look so genuinely happy! Now on to the partay…

The Painted Cake designed this beautifully detailed masterpiece. It was stunning.

And onto the reception shenanigans…. these are a few of my favorite moments!

Thanks to all of the vendors that made it possible!

Valisa & Ben’s hill country wedding at The Barn at Swallow’s Eve here in Fredericksburg, Texas was such a bright lovely occasion! Valisa chose a colorful and feminine palette that reflected her sunny sweet personality. Valisa & Ben chose to lodge and do their first look just down the road at Hoffman Haus, with transportation by the adorable Fredericksburg Trolley’s. They made a stop at the pretty Fredericksburg Library for a couple of photos on the way! Feather & Twine photography captured the day beautifully and were such a pleasure to work with. I can’t say enough about how amazing the flowers were by Sprout Flowers, well you can see for yourself!

This teal chair at Hoffman Haus tied in perfectly with Ben’s tie and her ring box. I love when the venue happens to have pieces that incorporate perfectly with the palette! Thanks to Feather and Twine for including it in styling her shoes.

We actually chose to use their typical cocktail hour spot for the ceremony. I just fell in the love with stucco modern fireplace and how it provided a really minimal backdrop for the organic arrangements that Sprout designed. Valisa’s parents had a special connection with a French antiques collector and were able to source all of the charming cast iron pots for the flowers.





Ben’s suit was one of Valisa’s first choices for the wedding. The sky blue seersucker was perfect for the spring occasion. I love when couples choose a statement outfit for the groom. His suit really inspired the La Tavola Linen choices as well. The watercolor style painting on the cake by Sophie’s Bakery really tied the cake into the design of the event. I love how Sprout placed the real flowers to create a 3D continuation of the painting.

Feather and Twine used the perfect sunset glow to capture these beautiful hill country wedding portraits in the field, just behind the venue!

Here is the mood board I created for Valisa when we first started planning her wedding…. It’s so fun to see how the real wedding photos compare to our original vision. I think we nailed it! 

Lindsey & Cody’s April wedding at Hoffman Haus was such a fun palette to style! Lindsey came to me with the idea for this palette from a Jenny Yoo bridesmaids dress inspiration photo and it was so fun to bring to life. This palette could work in Spring, Summer or even Fall. Lindsey designed these invitations herself using Minted’s custom color matching service.

Viridian put together the perfect loose bouquet that incorporated succulents and blooms. I love the way the Fredericksburg limestone in the buildings at Hoffman Haus brings out these peachy tones in our palette.

These Anthropologie copper terrariums filled with lavender, brought the lilac color to the ceremony and smelled fantastic! Lavender grows really well here in the Hill Country and was a nice local touch.

I love to use these farm tables at Hoffman Haus for the head tables. They are so beautiful and unique!

Whew that dress! Mckenzie Baird was the wonderful photographer, i just love the way she uses light! Her images just feel so warm and cozy.

The linens were one of my favorite parts of this wedding! La Tavola’s lilac velvet print for the cake table and Trouseau Smokey Amethyst for the cocktail tables added the purple touches we needed in the Great Hall. I also just love the greenery on the drapes, just a nice little installation that looks so custom!

We ended the night with a little sparkler fun!
