’m getting married! It’s still early enough in my engagement that I can say it with a mixture of awe and pinch-me glee. A lot of the “big things” have been decided, such as venue, dress, and caterer; but the fine details have yet to be sorted. And like many a modern bride, I’m working on balancing fiancé, friends, philanthropy, and work while I scramble to nail the rest ELIZABETH down. In truth, it’s left YG A RT UA me in need of a little inspiration. Luckily this issue of Society is full of ideas for everyone from philanthropic party planners to brides-to-be. We have suggestions for what men can wear to summer parties, locations to host a wedding with great skyline views, and hors d’oeuvres to serve at your next soirée. Need another charitable cause to get hyped about? Be sure to get your planners and calendars ready before reading our event previews — we’re sure you’ll be as excited about these groups as we are. Save the best for last and read the wedding announcements starting on page 29. These couple’s love stories will leave you wanting to say, “I do!” again, and again. As always, we thank you for reading and hope that you’ll share your love with us at parkcitiespeople.com/contact.

Fiesta DE LAS SEIS BANDERAS Story & Photos by Elizabeth Ygartua

n a festive evening in June, 40 young women from the Park Cities will take the stage at the Hilton Anatole in glistening gowns designed to celebrate the splendors of Mexico at the 31st annual La Fiesta de las Seis Banderas presentation ball. It’s a night La Fiesta chairs Eloise Meachum and Missy Rothwell, the organization’s guild, the duchesses, their escorts, and their families have been preparing for since invitations were sent out last summer. Any graduating senior who lives within the boundaries of Highland Park ISD is eligible to be nominated by the men of the Order of the Flags, a La Fiesta support group, and other involved parties. Those chosen to be escorts and duchesses are selected based on their character, attitude, judgement, academic accomplishment, leadership, and community involvement, according to the chairs. “It’s a very private process, but I do feel like, from what we know, it’s very fair,” Rothwell { PHOTO: JAMES FRENCH } said. “It’s usually a good mixture of kids.” While last year’s 30th anniversay ball celebrated all six flags that have flown over Texas, this year the event will narrow its focus on the third country to raise its emblem over the Lone Star state. The pair said it was fun to focus on just one flag this year and come up with the titles for the duchesses. Don’t worry, there’s no Duchess of the Gila Monster, Meachum said. For inspiration, the guild researched waterways and landmarks, and reused some titles from 2007 — the last time Mexico ruled La Fiesta. “[At the ball], we speak about their title before we talk about the girl and so we look for things that there will be something to talk about,” Rothwell said. “We don’t have six flowers because, you know, there’s not enough to say about six different flowers.” With titles decided, the duchesses met with costume designer Laurie Haluska last summer to sketch out their gowns. “She tries to do historically accurate or significant [designs], but it’s sort of a push-pull between the girls and what they want and what represents their title,” Meachum said. In the past, the dresses have been displayed in storefronts around town following the gala. But this year, all 40 gowns will be shown at the University Park Public Library, one of La Fiesta’s beneficiaries. “We are excited to be able to do this for La Fiesta, who has been so generous and supportive of the library and of the community," said UP Library director Sharon Martin. "We are hoping it brings people into the library to see what we offer." Other beneficiaries include Connecting Point of the Park Cities, The Elisa Project, Park Cities Heritage House at Dallas Heritage Village, Highland Park High School’s Habitat for Humanity chapter, the HPHS Science Festival, HP Arts, and the HP Education Foundation. Both Rothwell and Meachum are former PTA presidents who came to understand the needs of the HPISD schools during their terms and through their participation with La Fiesta. “I think people think the Park Cities schools have everything and they don’t,” Rothwell said. “We want to help, because there are so many needs.” Since 1986, La Fiesta has raised $7.5 million. Each year, half of the duchess and escort fees go to the beneficiaries. The rest of the funds raised come from Order of the Flag and guild dues, as well as underwriting. According to Rothwell, while the underwriting deadline is May 1, donations can be made year round at lafiestaparkcities.com.

CHARITY

LADIES WHO LUNCH By Britt E. Stafford Dallas wouldn’t be Dallas without an overflowing philanthropic social calendar each year. And the Real Housewives of Dallas are setting out to show the nation what it takes to be Dallasite socialites, including the three residents representing Preston Hollow: Cary Deuber, LeeAnne Locken, and “friend of the housewives” Marie Reyes. Deuber, a mother and certified registered nurse first assistant, started her philanthropic endeavors by donating her time on several medical mission trips. Nowadays Deuber prefers to stick close to home, volunteering as a member of the Junior League of Dallas and working with her husband, plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Deuber, with the Doris Daniely Outreach. Together, the pair provides operating time to women who are unable to afford breast reconstructive services. “It’s nice to go to a dinner or cocktail party and give back, but I’m more hands on,” she said. “I like to see the change.” Ask Locken and she’ll tell you that philanthropy is her heart and soul. At the top of her seemingly endless list of causes are child and domestic violence prevention — a survivor of child abuse herself; rescue animals;

and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights. Among the list of her favorite organizations to support are the SPCA of Texas, the Design Industries Foundation Fighting Aids (DIFFA), and the Legacy Counseling Center. But Locken knows no limits to the number of organizations or causes she will support. To avoid accidentally double booking, she keeps two dry erase calendars full, along with a picture of the boards on her phone. “I love my haters who say that I go to these events to get my picture taken,” she said. “… I care about making a difference.” Businesswoman Reyes is a fellow DIFFA supporter and can trace her involvement with the organization back almost 25 years, when she donated her time on the catwalk for its annual runway show. It’s one of her two favorite events of the year, she said. The second is the annual headpiece extravaganza that is the Mad Hatter’s Tea, held annually at the Dallas Arboretum. So, whether it’s a luncheon or gala, helping kids or fighting cancer, this trio knows how to balance their personal lives, work, and still make time to be ladies who lunch for a cause. “It’s challenging to say the least,” Reyes said. “You put your priorities in the right order and do the best you can.”

WHAT TO WEAR By Tony Trahan

hile Texas is notorious for its heat, that doesn’t mean a man’s style should suffer. Lake days, cookouts, and Sunday brunches are synonymous with the season. So, how’s a guy supposed to stay fashionable, comfortable, and, more importantly, cool in the heat? Men, you can have it all this season. You can stay cool and look the part.

Out to the Ballgame For most men, baseball means shorts and a jersey. Instead, swap the T-shirt with a washed, short-sleeved, button-up shirt in either a print, or classic red or blue. A common mistake here is not focusing on the fit. You don't want to wear a trash bag on your torso. The shirt should fit like a T-shirt would. Roll the sleeves a couple of times to create that casual it-just-does-this look. Just add a pair of navy shorts and white Jack Purcell sneakers and you’ll be sure to be one of the best dressed guys at the ballpark.

BBQs and Cookouts Whether it's hosted in the scorching afternoon heat or the slightly cooler evening, a cookout calls for an ensemble that is both outdoors-friendly and polished. Why not try a retro navy Lacoste polo with a pair of off-white chinos?

You may be thinking, “Pants in the summer? You have to be insane.” But, it's all about the fabric here. If you go for the cotton chinos, your legs and body will thank you for the coolness they provide. Much better than traditional denim or wool pants. As for the polo, I would even button it all the way up to add my personal touch, just like my grandpa did with his. After all, trends do almost always come back around. If the English still sport this look, why can’t we?

Brunch, Brunch, Brunch Guys, here's the time to flex those sartorial muscles. You're heading out of church or recovering from a good night of fun. So, you rally the troops for the ritualistic ceremony that is brunch in Dallas, the meal to which everyone comes out swaggering in their Sunday best. Luckily, it's going to be earlier in the day, which means the sun won't be out in full force yet. Here you could pull off a T-shirt with a cool sports coat or blazer paired with shorts and sneakers. Often, guys are scared away from the blazer thinking it's a formal piece. Here's my advice: treat it like a jacket or sweatshirt. Wear it just the same, make it more casual, and it'll reward you. Then roll up the sleeves and dig into that eggs benedict you just ordered, confident in your ensemble. You deserve it.
