see you in 2012

We are taking some time off after a busy and very successful 2011. Hey, we deserve a break every once and a while too! We will be closed from December 24th {at noon} until January 2nd {opening at 9am}. We are kicking back, relaxing with our families, taking on the open road and relishing in all the good in our lives. We are psyched for our new venue, The Union, coming this Fall and all the wonderful weddings currently {and still to be booked} in 2012.

Oh, and don’t forget to mark your calendars, you can find us at Austin’s Bridal Extravaganza on January 7+8 and at Engaged! at the Westin on January 8th. Be there. Our designs will knock your socks off. Guaranteed.

We’ll talk again next year! And thanks for being our friend!

Town+Country: The Send Off {a closer look}

What better way to end this week of a closer look of our Town+Country shoot than the send off scene... 

To cap off the night, the Bride and Groom were whisked away by a vintage truck dubbed, Old Yeller. With gifts strapped tight atop the roof and soft pillows lining the bed of the truck, alas they were on their way as husband and wife.

Town+Country: Floral Galore {a closer look}

The Bride’s dress {from Melange Bridal} was magical, so soft and airy. As the weather became crisper, the warm plaid pattern of her jacket coupled with a leather belt and a vintage Lanvin scarf complemented her elegant ensemble. And the Groom’s sharp and masculine navy suit unified their style. Such the perfect {yes, real life} couple.

Even with the chair tornado, the painting that came to life and the one of a kind runner, for me, the flowers stole the show shoot. The bridal bouquet and floral arrangements consisted of the perfect combination of cream garden roses, golden spray roses, white ranunculus, foliage, and accented by the whimsical leucadendron, kangaroo paw and a country accent of cotton bolls. It's safe to say I am obsessed with flowers, the Leucadendron in particular for this shoot.

Town+Country: The Table {a closer look}

At dinner, a fabulous hand curated runner was displayed a-top our farmhouse tables. The impressively impactful runner consisted of yards {and yards} of meticulously arranged folds and gathers of paper to mimic the Bride’s wedding dress. A family of antique deer resting on gold rimmed china and gold utensils offset the more rustic elements of wood, deer antlers and butcher paper.

it's all about the flowers tomorrow...

Town+Country: A Gentlemen's Lounge {a closer look}

Just as any good Texan, the Groom’s love of the outdoors was on display in the lounge area. It was an imaginative scene from a storybook. The hand painted river addition in the photo leaped from the picture as a glittered river poured from the scene. To continue the picture outside the frame, real flowers were positioned just right along the glittered shoreline as the tackle box, wading boots and fishing pole added to the landscape.

more manana!

Town+Country: The Ceremony {a closer look}

Last week I had great intentions of blogging about the details of each setup at the Town Meets Country shoot that we meticulously poured our love + energy over {for weeks}. But as I'm sure you've noticed, the blog went untouched... on the bright side, we accomplished tons and have great news to share.

-we purchased an AMAZING building in downtown Georgetown: The Union coming in the Fall 2012!!!

-Utterly Engaged pick up this very shoot for their Dec/Jan issue!

-we decided on a lovely logo for the new venue, The Union, and are in the midst of creating the website.

-and we have our January 2012 bridal show designs pulled together-- trust. they will blow you away! 

Okay, enough catching up. Let's cut to the chase! What do you say, let's take a deeper look into each vignette created for this wonderful photo shoot at The Plantation House with ee photography...

A tornado of mismatched chairs purposefully hanged as a make shift arch from the deeply rooted tree, waiting to frame the Bride and Groom at the altar. An iron chandelier was suspended above a free standing jewelry case which housed two things a girl can’t live without—the perfect necklaces and beautiful flowers. A runner adorned the aisle as sturdy wooden benches with soft cushions flanked the walk.

Coming your way tomorrow: close up of a little country lounge area!

town meets country shoot

What a busy November! When we got the opportunity to design and style a fall photo shoot with the lovely Erin Woosley of EE-Photography we jumped for joy! Combining our forces with  the gorgeous venue, The Plantation House, scrumptious baked goods from Paige’s Bakehouse, a striking dress from Melange Bridal, and lovely paper goods from Wednesday Inc., we knew the photos would knock your socks off. (Disclaimer: keep your socks on. It’s chilly outside.)

Inspired by the finer things in life mixed with rustic details of the south, our shoot was whimsical, elegant, and classic. With a tornado of mismatched chairs presented at the altar, a chandelier, and a beautiful arrangement paired with moss, the ceremony site was the perfect start to any wedding. At dinner, a family of antique deer resting on china introduced a hand crafted paper runner rested upon our farmhouse tables. It had touches of gold and rust and displayed yards folding creativity. The lounge area was an imaginative scene from a storybook. A glittered river and field of greens and wildflowers actually emerged from the hanging photo! Coupled with our vintage bar, Charles, the distinguished hog was even wrapped in Burberry plaid and smoking a warm pipe.

Needless to say, our Town and Country photo shoot took us, and will hopefully take you, on a fun adventure. Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy!

Rest assured, there will be more coming your way next week!
