Dallas Meets Atlanta Engagement Session: Stephanie & Winston

January 15, 2019

Hello Friends! I hope your 2019 is off to a great start! In honor of today being Founders’ Day for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, I’d love to share Stephanie and Winston’s engagement session! Our beautiful bride, Stephanie, is an AKA and a district judge in Dallas County. Our dapper groom, Winston, is a patent lawyer and a member of Omega Psi Phi!

Stephanie and Winston met in December 2016 during happy hour at a local restaurant! After being introduced by a mutual friend, Stephanie passed along her business card and shortly after, they went out on their first date! Coffee quickly transitioned to cocktails and cigars (Winston’s favorite) and the rest is history! The soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. were introduced to me by Kenneth and Jessica, one of my amazing 2016 couples!

It has been such a pleasure to assist this dynamic duo with planning their wedding celebration in Atlanta (Winston’s hometown)! I am super excited about all that’s in store for their spring nuptials! Here’s a peek at their Dallas engagement session courtesy of the talented Andre Brown Photography:

Stay tuned for a peek at Stephanie and Winston’s intimate wedding celebration later this year! Cheers to sweet love!

XOXO

P.S. I am not a member of a sorority but I’m so thankful for all of the sorority sisters (and fraternity bothers) who trust me to plan one of the most important days of their life! My sweet brides always treat me as if I’m one of the girls!

2018 is slowly, but surely, coming to a close. Can you believe that 2019 is just a few weeks away? I’m so excited to see what the new year has in store!

Pantone recently announced that the 2019 Color of the Year is… *drumroll please*… Living Coral!

Paired with complementing colors, Living Coral would create an ambiance filled with high energy, radiance, and joy! This color definitely gives me beach vibes! I can’t wait to see how this impacts the wedding and event world next year! Stay tuned!

Dallas Wedding Celebration: Dolores & Reginald

November 3, 2018

I’m so excited to share this beautiful wedding celebration with you! I recently had the pleasure of assisting Dolores and Reginald with planning their Dallas wedding celebration! The newlyweds complement each other so well! They are proof that sometimes life will take you on a journey to meet your match made in Heaven! I love their story! When Dolores initially reached out to me, we clicked instantly! Her personality and style was so posh and sophisticated – just like the direction of her wedding plans! Throughout the planning process, Dolores was much more than a client! I am proud to call her my friend!

Dolores and Reginald exchanged vows on the rooftop terrace of The Joule Hotel on a beautiful August evening! The intimate ceremony was so clean, modern, and elegant, much like a scene from Sex And The City! The orchid-filled manzanita tree arch was the perfect frame from the sweet couple and their officiant. (Marty with LoveNotes is always so engaging and a definite joy to work with!) Friends and family appeared to float gracefully on ghost chairs! After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed lite-bites, a signature lemon drop martini, and a cool breeze from their personalized USB smartphone fans! The opening of the sliding terrace doors revealed a gorgeous white-out reception complete with a mirrored dance floor and tabletops, romantic candlelight, and soothing sounds from Natural Change Band! It was such an amazing evening and I’m thankful that I had an opportunity to witness this beautiful union!

Thanks so much to all of the other wedding pros who made this day extra special: The Joule Hotel, Stanlo Photography, Prashe Decor, Hey Suga, The Bee’s Knees Custom Design, Glam by Cham, Khimandi Hair Studio, LoveNotes Weddings, White Gown Workroom, A & K Photo Booth, and Natural Change Band.

Dolores and Reginald, I wish you the very best in life and sweet love! I’m so excited to see what the future has in store for the Nelsons!

Dallas Engagement Session: Ondrea & Allan

September 10, 2018

Hello Friends! Happy Monday! The countdown is on! We are just a few days away from Ondrea and Allan’s Dallas wedding celebration! After months of planning, I am so excited to see the all of the details come together for “The Big Day” with ceremony at The Chapel at Ana Villa and gala at Embassy Suites Frisco Hotel and Convention Center! Their wedding guests are in for a real treat!

Ondrea’s dear friend, Kimberly, who is also Allan’s aunt, played matchmaker and introduced the two! Ondrea and Allan bonded through their love of reggae music, traveling, and watching documentaries! This, with support of family and friends cheering them on, allowed their friendship to blossom to sweet love and the rest is history!

I met Ondrea through mutual Michigan friends! She is such a beautiful person – inside and out! I am in awe about how Allan loves and adores Ondrea! It has been such a joy to assist the couple and Ondrea’s sweet mom, Gigi, with planning the wedding festivities!

Here’s a peek at Ondrea and Allan’s engagement session with James Willis Photography:

It’ll be wheels up to Dallas this weekend! I’m so thankful that Ondrea and Allan have trusted with me their wedding day! Stay tuned for a peek at the celebration courtesy of James Willis Photography and Inspired Effects Videography!
