Monday mornings are great when you wake up to not one, but TWO Something To Celebrate weddings being published. :) We love what we do, and it's just the cherry on top when other wedding pros recognize what we do as excellence. Thank you!

Okay, so this one isn't an official "STC" wedding. However, I definitely helped with all the planning. Patricia is my youngest sister-in-law, and she and I share a special bond. I adore her. Gabe (my husband, her brother) and I were there when Kyle proposed, and I was honored to help her with the planning process.
Patricia and Kyle are a very laid-back couple. Patricia's not "frilly" or traditional and likes a simple, Bohemian-style aesthetic. She and Kyle wanted something intimate with just their closest friends and family. I think they got exactly what they wanted :) Here are some of the pictures captured by the team at Theo-Graphics
. Enjoy!
Happy Planning,
Isn't she gorgeous? Her beauty radiants from within.
Yes, that is me officiating. No, you will never see me do this for anyone else, ever again (unless there is an emergency).
Kyle is toasting Patricia at this moment. I love the look on her face.

One of our favorite new venues is Ma Maison, in Dripping Springs, Texas. Just over one year old, Karen and her team thought of everything when planning this gorgeous venue. Even their Rain Plan options are gorgeous! And we're thrilled to be one of the few vendors featured in their venue's book.
And check out Ma Maison. :)

I can't wait to share these gorgeous floral arrangements from Rachel & Michael's wedding at The Driskill in Austin, TX. Melanie and her team at Last Petal did an incredible job on this event.
Check back soon for more from this elegant affair!

I met Courtney & Brandon last summer, and we "clicked" instantly. I adore this couple, and helping them plan their wedding was a ton of fun. After meeting their families, I knew why they were such great people. They both come from exceptional stock! :) And they sure do know how to laugh and have a good time!

captured the day beautifully. Feast your eyes on these pretty pictures...

I love referrals! They are the best gift a client could ever give me. When that referral is within the same immediate family, I am doubly delighted. Especially when it's this family. They are incredible!! I was fortunate enough to coordinate Karen & Darryl's wedding back in 2013. When Karen's parents contacted me last year to ask me to help with Denise's wedding (their oldest daughter), I was over-the-moon :) I can't say it enough: I adore this family!!
The forecast for Denise's and Gray's wedding (this past April) was hail on Friday and 100% severe thunderstorms on Saturday (with the heaviest scheduled for right at the ceremony time). The bride, the groom, and both families handled this news with grace and poise. We were all prepared for the worst, but were thrilled when the rain held off for the ceremony. The overcast skies weren't what the bride had originally envisioned, but they ended up making for a glorious event. Chip Gillespie was there to capture the entire thing, and I am so excited to share some of his pictures with you. He is amazing!

I started this company on Spring Break in 2005, which means we've just finished our 10th year. It's been an amazing first decade! We started as a single-planner (me!) business with 13 weddings/year, and have grown to a team of 6 coordinators, many assistants, and a handful of interns, with offices in 2 cities and closer to 80 weddings/year. Best of all, we've managed to attract only the BEST clients, who make our jobs a joy.
Thank you for trusting us with your celebrations. Here's to the next decade! :)

This couple has such a special place in my heart. Jimena happens to be one of my close friends from high school so I have know her and Gabriel for quiet some time :) I can't wait to share with you their wedding pictures from last weekend! It was such an honor to coordinate and celebrate their special day with them.
In the meantime, enjoy some of their engagement photos from the amazingly talented Hiram Trillo Photography!
Thinking about having an end of the night snack for your wedding guests? Here's a great idea, a food truck. There are so many options for food trucks here in Austin, you can't go wrong and your guests will enjoy this treat.
I love December weddings. There is just something about the holidays that make the wedding even more magical. A stunning clear tent, crystal chandeliers, and a beautiful color palette made the overall effect just perfect. Add to that an exceptional family, and a girl couldn't ask for any more. It's only been weeks, and I already miss this family to pieces!
Feast your eyes on some of the sensational images captured by Something Gold Photography. Aren't they lovely?
Happy Planning,
I love the look on Kelly's face when she looks at Zach. She had this look all day. :)
Nothing like a little mistletoe for those Christmas-time weddings.
I always avoid the camera, but when I am caught in a shot, it's usually pretty funny.
These expressions are priceless.
Nothing says winter wedding reception like a hot chocolate bar.
Love this shot of mother and daughter at the end of the exit. :)

I so loved working with this beautiful couple! Kelly sent me this super sweet email a couple of weeks after their February wedding:
Jessica!
We are so so SO incredibly thankful for everything you did to help our wedding be the success that it was. That entire weekend was amazing and we both agree - "the best weekend of our lives!" I would not have survived/enjoyed Saturday without your help. I still don't know if there were any snaffoos because you did an awesome job of handling EVERYTHING! I recently was watching a reality show episode where one of the cast members was getting married and everything just seemed so disorganized, despite having a coordinator. While watching, all I keptthinking was "oh my gosh....I can't even imagine" and thankfully, I did not! You were organized, prompt, detail oriented, and professional the entire process, from the first phone call (before we were even engaged) until Chateau Bellevue was locked up on Saturday night.

I just received this sweet thank you note from one of my February clients. We have the BEST clients - seriously, the sweetest.

Coincidentally, I just yesterday happened across the thank you that my mom wrote to my own "day of" wedding planner while I was honeymooning, over 11 years ago. Moms are the best - thanks Mom!
Lots of warm fuzzies, this chilly day. :)

Congratulations to one of our own, Aaryn, on her engagement. I am excited to be a part of Aaryn and Nick's celebration. Check out this gorgeous shot captured by Julie Paisley Photography

Julie Wilhite captured the beautiful photos below of Amy & Cory's fun fall wedding! I had such a wonderful time working with this sweet couple. From color palette to the champagne tower they were always open to trying something a little more unique, which in turn created a wedding that was the perfect representation of them.
