Last spring we had the great pleasure of planning Cameron and Jared’s wedding in McKinney, TX. With Cameron living in Arizona, and her family here in Texas, we were able to pull off the perfect event for the happy couple and all of their family and friends! We loved all of of the blush pinks and accents of turquoise that were incorporated throughout the ceremony and reception. We hope that you enjoy this wedding as much as we did!

Jillian + Cody’s Backyard Wedding

When we first met with Jillian and her mom, Jillian expressed that she always wanted to get married in her parents backyard underneath the trees with a romantic tented reception to follow. We were able to do just that! The ceremony took place exactly where she had envisioned it, on the back of her parents property. Guests were then asked to join them under the tent for a night full of yummy food, lots of dancing, and s’mores around the fire. Jillian and Cody had the day that they always dreamt of. We wish them many years of happiness together!

This wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty Texas and we just can’t get enough of it!

Happy Halloween–Heather + Ed’s Spooky Wedding

We thought what day better than Halloween to share this spooky wedding. Halloween is Heather and Ed’s favorite holiday so that wanted to make a huge Halloween party out of their wedding reception. Heather’s vision was to have a Martha Stewart meets haunted house sort of feel. We started with their ceremony at a private residence in Dallas where the two tied the knot with lots of pumpkins and fall gourds. After a small cocktail hour at the home, the guests were all asked to change into their costumes and head over to Off The Grid for the big bash! Some of our favorite details included a cemetery Heather created with guests names on tombstones, their wedding party dressing up as gladiators, and all the incredible from DiFiori! Please enjoy this super unique Halloween wedding and congrats to Heather and Ed on their first year of marriage!

Carmen–Charles’ Hawaiian Reception

Carmen and Charles tied the knot on the beautiful island of Maui! They decided to come back home to Dallas, TX and throw a Hawaiian themed reception to celebrate with all of their friends! Upon arrival guests were greeted by tiki torches and hula dancers who passed out fun lei’s and served mai-tais. Gil’s Elegant Catering provided a yummy spread – Huli Huli Chicken, Coconut Rice, Macaroni Salad, which are all Hawaiian favorites. Abbey from Chips and Salsa Designs created the adorable pineapple logo which was branded throughout their reception on cookies, koozies, and other signage. The hula dancers performed and taught guests how to hula, which was definitely a highlight of the evening. We absolutely adored working with Carmen, Charles, and their sweet daughter Mabry and had so much fun pulling this reception together!

Pin Up The New Year–NYE Party

Not only do we plan fabulous weddings, but we like to plan social events as well. We were contacted last year to help coordinate a 1940’s themed New Year’s Eve party! We were super excited to help bring this party to life. We started off by creating an inspiration board and then brought in some amazing vendors including a jazz band to complete this party!
