Before Jane and Reese said their I Do’s, they hosted all their loved ones for a festive rehearsal dinner at the new Hotel Drover in Fort Worth! This western themed hotel, right in the heart of the Stockyards, was the perfect slice of country for guests- who were even encouraged to come in their best wester gear! We decorated the intimate ballroom with shades of blue and orange, western themed stationery, and custom cookies. Out of the patio, we incorporated rustic furniture and some bistro lights to create a cozy country atmosphere!

The “Patron Paradise” bachelorette theme came about because one of my sweet followers on tik tok saw my Bond Girl Bachelorette theme and wanted a custom board for her friend’s bachelorette in Cabo! She said that they liked the bond girl aesthetic, but wanted something that hadn’t been seen or done before. She said her itinerary for Cabo was going to be: a boat day, a day where they ride camels/ATVs, a spa day at the Air BNB, and 2 dinners out! So with keeping in the general aesthetic of the bond girl, I created a board for them called Patron Paradise. This aesthetic is for the cool girl, the sexy yet classy bachelorette group who is jetting off somewhere beachy! I imagine this aesthetic to be more on the neutral side, with earthy textures and chic outfits- with pops of color here and there! And now you have access to this aesthetic board as well! This is the perfect guide for anyone thinking about heading to a beachy or tropical destination for their bachelorette party! (and great for any tequila lovers!)

The Bond Girl Bachelorette aesthetic is all about encapsulating the trademark Bond Girl characteristics. When you think of a bond girl, you typically think beautiful, sexy, sophisticated, put together, and definitely not someone who would have a penis straw around their neck and a fur cowboy hat on (as fun as those bachelorette props can be!). The reason this aesthetic works is because it is still really themed and fun, without being overtly “wedding” or “bachelorette” themed. The bachelorette party aspect is subtle and not as in your face as it normally is. This aesthetic is all about keeping it simple yet sophisticated! With fun themes like Bikinis and martinis, it lets you and your bridal party dress to a theme, without looking like a gaggle of drunk bridesmaids.

Scroll the our photos on how we styled this Dallas boudoir session to be timeless, delicate, and beautiful!

When wanting to stay with a classic aesthetic, it is important to stick to mainly neutrals, and use color sparingly. Keep the larger components white or gold, and use the smaller accents to add color. White hydrangea and rose arrangements are synonymous with the ballroom aesthetic, however in this design, we chose to add in greenery to the flower arrangements since the venue itself was already very white. If your ballroom has a lot of color in the carpets or decor (as most classic ballrooms do), you can forego the greenery for more of an all white arrangement. Larger elements of the wedding were kept fairly simple, while we chose to go more untraditional with the smaller details like cocktail napkins, escort cards, monogram design, etc. Going out of the box on the smaller details will add personality in to your wedding while keeping that overall elegant aesthetic you desire.

If you do not know who “Pilot Peter” is, you probably not a reality TV lover and you are probably are very free on Monday nights. Peter, who also happens to be a pilot (yay for alliteration!) is the new star of the hit TV show “The Bachelor” and is on his journey to find love and find someone who is: there for the right reasons/ vulnerable/ walls down/ enter all other bachelor lingo here. As you know, the whole purpose of this whole show is to fall in love, get engaged, and eventually.. you guessed it, GET MARRIED!
So why would I plan a wedding for Pilot Peter? No, I am not hoping he one day sees this and hires me to be his planner (although that would be awesome, think about all the IG followers), but I wanted to show you how to incorporate personal details into your wedding design to make your wedding uniquely yours.. or in this case uniquely Peter’s!

We were honored to help plan the Cook Children’s Women’s Board Holiday Luncheon for the 2019 year! With the help of an amazing vendor team and an incredible vision of the client, we transformed her backyard into a Christmas Wonderland, filled with festive linens, garland, and tons of yummy treats! We chose pom pom linen overlays from La Tavola to bring out the whimsical side of the Holidays. A real live reindeer greeted guests as they arrived, and specialty cocktails served in a Christmas Ornament were waiting for guests as they entered the door! The Dallas String Quartet played a medley of festive holiday music while guests mingled and enjoyed the delicious food from Bonnell’s and desserts from Treat Me Sweet. Each guest left with some cheery holiday favors which included mulling spice mason jars and Christmas candles! We had so much fun bringing the Christmas Spirit to this amazing group of women!
