The Miss Mary's Place story is as charming as the venue itself. As children, sisters Jan Eubank VanMeter and Kerri Eubank Lattery, and their brothers, Mark and Mike Eubank, would walk along a trail in Peatown, Texas, to visit Miss Mary who lived in a little country farm house at the end of an old road. Daffodils, pansies, roses, and lilies bloomed beneath ancient oak trees and crepe myrtles, creating an atmosphere of sweetlyscented natural beauty. This is the inspiration behind Mary Emma's Garden located at what's now Miss Mary's Place. The gardens are in bloom year round and create the perfect ambiance for their couples.

Tyler Tents and Events is so much more than a tent rental company. They are a rich East Texas resource, a layout design service, an inspiration hub, and they are dedicated to helping clients throughout their event planning journey.

Founded in 2014 by father-daughter team Andy and Amanda Jones, Tyler Tents and Events goes beyond the average rental shop.

You will not see a traditional sales counter when you enter the store, but instead desks with comfortable chairs for clients to sit in and

employing a seamstress to create fashionforward linens, curtains, and unique table coverings. They even have a “play table” instore where customers can pull things from around the store and/or items they've brought in to see how their event concept will look.

Amanda, Managing Owner and Creative Director for Tyler Tents and Events, loves being involved with the overall layout, concept, and design of an event. “It is not uncommon to see me in the field placing linens, on a ladder hanging chandeliers, or anything else to ensure the design details come together seamlessly

from start to finish.”

Amanda started in the event industry while in college. After college she went to Austin and worked for a top 40 event rental company where she learned a lot about what it takes to produce large events, make and care for linens in-house, and drape tents. From there she worked for an event design company where she learned about creating and designing lounge furniture, producing large transformations, and creating show-stopping event pieces. In 2012, she decided to be closer to family and moved back to East Texas. “I noticed a need for a more design-focused, special-event rental company in the area and decided to take the leap into ownership.”

The simplest moments, the tiny details – that's where the story unfolds for wedding photographer Stacey Splawn of The Magnolia Studio. Unscripted moments, a sweet text message from the bride to the groom before the ceremony, the groom's expression when he sees the bride walk down the aisle, these are the story details Stacey specializes in and gets the most satisfaction from. It's in those details that a couple's unique love narrative is told and the ones they will cherish the most in their many years together.

Any girl can be a Vixen!

There's a style for every taste.

Not only do Lesly and Barbie offer lashes to clients, but makeup services as well. Wedding makeup packages include a bridal consultation/trial, Vixen lashes, complimentary flower girl makeup, and makeup for the mother of the bride/groom, bridesmaids, and bride. They also offer makeup for special occasions, whether it's a birthday party, prom, or an engagement photo shoot. Whatever the client needs, the Vixens are ready and willing to help put your best face forward.

“We want our clients to know that when you get us, you are getting the best. The best techniques, the best look, the best wear from their makeup, and the best time management,” Barbie says. “We always bring our best selves to every wedding day. We are clean, professional, on

These two makeup mavens believe that lashes aren't just for models, photo shoots, or special occasions. A woman can wear them anytime and for any reason! Vixen Lashes' collection are handmade from mink and are 100% cruelty-free. The mink is obtained by gently brushing live animals without harming them. This meticulous procedure ensures that no animals are harmed during the process. In addition, every lash is sterilized and handmade to ensure quality (they can be worn up to 25 times!).

For anyone, bride or otherwise, looking for an easy way to change up her look, Barbie says mink lashes are the way to go. “The versatility of Vixen allows us to change our look if we decide to. So many women do their makeup the very same way every single day, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but a simple way to get a different look is to apply our lashes. With so many styles to choose from, it’s impossible to get bored with your look.”

There are 12 different styles, which Lesly and Barbie call “The Girls,” and range from the voluptuous, dark noir Gigi to the effortlessly elegant Madison. So no matter what style you're looking for (short and sweet, long and dark), there's a Vixen Girl for you.

For brides wanting a pair of lashes or professionally-done makeup for their wedding, they should book as soon as they know the date. It's important to communicate with your makeup artist about the style you want to express. It's also important to get a trial makeup run and, if you're purchasing Vixen Lashes, to get a few applying practice sessions in before the big day.
