Butterfly Kisses... Cheyenne & Will

  When I first met Cheyenne and Will, I knew they wanted a fun and colorful wedding that would fit thier personalities! Three things they both love: fashion, candy and above all, each other. The other item that makes Cheyenne's heart flutter is butterflies. She wanted the colorful, parallel winged monarchs to be the central theme of her big day; held at The Dallas Arboretum. I made custom butterflies worn by the groomsmen in lieu of traditional flowers.

The reception was held in her father's backyard... if you can call it that. When I first visited, I was blown away. The large swimming pool would be the future holder of lit candles that glittered off the  water, there was a large gazebo made by her dad, and custom landscaping by her step mother; who also provided all the catering. ALL of it. By hand. And let me tell you, it rivaled any and all full blown caterers I have ever tasted!

The only goody that wasn't made by family was the gorgeous cake by Sugar Bee Sweets, and of course the candy bar I set up to reflect all the couples' favorite goodies... and yes, I made a special bag for Cheyenne and Will to take with them on the honeymoon!

See below what a gorgeous couple the two make - Here is to butterflies and sweet candy kisses to Mr. & Mrs. Battle.

Jackie & Hiroshi Wedding Day - Nylo Los Colinas

When I met with my bride Jackie and heard about her wedding details to fiance Hirsohi Saka, I was instantly excited. Jackie and Hiroshi, who is Japanese, incorporated the Japanese tradition of hand making "Paper Cranes" into their ceremony. As the tradition goes, when a couple folds 1,000 paper cranes, they will receive a blessing - a long and happy marriage; since the act of making the origami teaches the two patience and teamwork. (Um, yes, yes it does.)

So, yes, the two folded, tied, AND strung 1,000 Japanese origami paper cranes creating a "curtain" that would hang behind them as they said thier vows.

Coinciding with the strong lines of the paper cranes, Jackie wanted lots of modern elements and clean, contemporary details for her big day. The venue she chose fit the theme perfectly, "Nylo" in  Los Colinas"!

She chose a cake, executed to PERFECTION by Heidi, at "Sugar Bee Sweets". The geometric wedding cake was a definite favorite of mine, as I had never seen one like it! Alicia with "Bows and Arrows" delivered beautiful blooms and grass that lined Jackie's custom graphic aisle with candlelight.

Guests flew in straight from Japan and even wore traditional kimonos. It was absolutely gorgeous! 

Enjoy some pictures from her day with photos from Amanda of, "Backroad Photography"!

 

   

   

       

 

  

   

  

   

 

 

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Saka - I hope you always take the time to laugh, love and DANCE!

And We Wait...

Hello to my loyal fan base who might be getting a bit dismayed that I have not posted any pretties in a while for you feast your eyes on. But! the wait will be over soon! You see, the only downside to being on the creative end of the weddings, is that we Event Designers are at the mercy of our busy busy BUSY photographers to get us the pictures back that we can share with you!

Not to worry, though! The adorable Amanda from Backroad Photography has assured me that my images are on the way and then, they will be duly posted ASAP (after I get done swooning over them!) for your eye candy enjoyment as well.

I am so excited to share them with you... it was a modern, Asian inspired wedding at Nylo Los Colinas... And... a little something to tease you with: You will be seeing a wall of paper cranes... hand made by the bride and groom .... can anyone guess HOW MANY you will see hand strung... ? You will have to wait... Just like I am for these pictures ...

Have a great week! Hope to post soon!!

Byrds Of A Feather... Lindsay & Roy's Summer Wedding

When I first met Lindsay I was astonished to learn that her soon to be hubby, Roy,  was from my tiny hometown! I was even FURTHER astonished to realize that her current last name was Duckworth, and her new last name would be Byrd. All of these bird conotations made a perfect theme for the couples' summer nuptials!  

Enjoy!
