Dallas Wedding Celebration: Adrienne & Michael

December 31, 2017

Happy New Year’s Eve!  Before we say goodbye to 2017, I want to share a beautiful wedding celebration from this past year!  I had the pleasure of assisting Kansas couple, Adrienne and Michael, with planning their August wedding celebration in the bride’s hometown at the W Dallas Hotel!

Adrienne and Micheal chose to incorporate shades of fuchsia, silver, and mirrored textures in their 3-part wedding day!  Their ceremony included a romantic, candle-lit vow exchange with a modern candle wall backdrop.  During cocktail hour guests enjoyed signature Mr. and Mrs. cocktails and delicious passed hors d’oeuvres in the hotel’s foyer.  The gorgeous dinner party reception was complete with mirrored table tops, beautiful glass decor, and a nod to Michael’s Nigerian roots!  The after-party was held in Altitude on the 33rd floor of the hotel overlooking downtown Dallas with music entertainment from the one and only DJ Mark Battle of One Sound and Entertainment!  Here’s a peek at at Adrienne and Michael’s wedding day courtesy of James Willis Photography:

Thanks so much to all of the wedding pros who made Adrienne and Michael’s wedding day extra special: W Dallas Hotel, James Willis Photography, Inspired Effects, Prashe Decor, Funky Town Donuts, DJ Mark Battle, The Bee’s Knees Custom Design, Shag Carpet, Tara Lowery, Ashley Bristo-Johnson, and Rev. Henry Batson III!

Adrienne and Michael, cheers to a beautiful wedding day!  I wish you the very best in life and sweet love!

XOXO

P.S. If you missed Adrienne and Michael’s engagement session, feel free to take a peek here!

Wedding Word Etiquette: Stationary vs. Stationery

December 19, 2017

Happy Tuesday!  It’s officially Engagement Season!  This is the time between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day when over 50% of proposals take place!  As the excitement rises and wedding planning begins, it’s important that couples understand wedding lingo and word etiquette!  As a former elementary school teacher, this is near and dear to my heart!

Today I’d like to share the difference between stationAry and stationEry!  These words are homophones which means that they have the same pronunciation but different meanings, spellings, and origins!

StationAry: not moving or changing

StationEry: writing paper and other office materials

In the wedding world, we are often discussing stationEry which includes save-the-dates, invitations, ceremony programs, menu cards, and other day-of paper goods.

When we use the word stationAry, we are often referring to vehicles, people posing for a photo, or a centerpiece on a table.

I hope you enjoyed today’s grammar lesson!  I’ll be back soon with more wedding word etiquette!  Stay tuned!

XOXO

Dallas Wedding Video: Amber & Grafton

December 4, 2017

Happy First Monday of December!  I can’t believe that 2017 is almost over!  Before the New Year arrives, I’d like to share a sweet wedding video from earlier this year!

Amber and Grafton both attended the University of Pennsylvania but they didn’t meet on campus!  Their paths crossed for the first time in Nassau, Bahamas (Grafton’s hometown) while Amber was on spring break and Grafton was home visiting with his track team!  They met at Bahama Boom (a popular hotspot) and sparked a sweet friendship turned romance back on campus!  Grafton proposed during a romantic walk in the Solidago Garden at the Travaasa Austin (resort) and the rest is history!

I had the honor of assisting Amber and Grafton with planning their Ashton Gardens Dallas wedding day!  Here’s a peek at their wedding film courtesy of Elle Films!

 

Amber and Grafton’s wedding day was truly a sweet celebration!  I wish the newlyweds, who just celebrated their 6 month anniversary, the absolute best in life and love!

XOXO

P.S. Feel free to take a peek at their beautiful wedding photos and read more about their wedding day here!
