EmBeautyCo created a loose French twist with pieces out in the front to frame her face and kept the glam look soft with her eyes being the main focus. A light smoky eye with a white shimmer on the lid and white on the bottom waterline to make her eyes pop.

Laurel + Finch created a contemporary and asymmetrical floral install with lots of texture, using blue and purple tones and pops of mustard to complete the overall look.

JoAnn’s Bridal picked a beautiful A-line gown with intricate detail. The gown is a timeless look with the 3D beaded floral finished with bows to add a photo-worthy statement.

Weddings By Shauna planned and designed this beautiful conceptual shoot to reflect a mix of garden and airy feels. The blue and purple tones mixed with rich greenery create a look that is acceptable year-round.

Wow, what a wonderful first year it has been as publishers. Ty and I have used this past year as a year of learning and cultivating relationships with wedding pros all over the Central Texas area. One thing that we have learned through a full year of serving our wedding community is that we are insanely blessed with the best!
Each page of this publication displays the talent of our network members. Our network is made up of the most genuine, honest, and hard working individuals in Central Texas.

Our pages are filled with our vendors’ ideas, talent, and heart. As you browse, know that every detail has been thought out and planned with you in mind.
Our hope for this issue is to bring you inspiration and to prompt your creativity when it comes to your wedding design and color palette!

Swoon over the trending Spring 2023 color palette. Why stay safe in neutrals when you can add a bold statement to your big day.
Keep your guests guessing with a fun and flirty cocktail dress to dance the night away. It’s a great alternative for brides who want to be fashionable yet cute for the remainder of their day.
Looking for a unique reception attraction the men will love? A cigar lounge is the perfect fun and sophisticated amenity they’ll definitely enjoy.
From table linens to the mere details of the wedding gown, brides are flocking to fun textures! Use textures to create contrast and a unique setting for your wedding.
We expect to see more couples incorporate impactful floral installs in bold, unique colors that reflect their personality. Couples, dare to be different!

While the end of your wedding day might be a bit bittersweet feeling, it's also incredibly exciting to witness a sea of guests sending you off as you embark on the rest of your lives together. To make the moment even more memorable, ride off into the night in Ruby or Silver Fox! The Vintage Garage cars hold so many sentimental memories within the family operation. Their hope is to continue allowing their cars to be the center of memories, just as they were for generations before. Vintage Garage is the place to find a show-stopping exit that will have your attendees talking for years to come.

The taste, smell, and texture of food can be extraordinarily evocative, bringing back memories not just of eating the food, but also of the place and setting. Remember the memory of your first date with your beloved fiance? Feeling giddy, in love, and a little nervous. Food is an effective trigger of profound memories of feelings and emotions. The catering professionals at TCP catering strive to serve a spread that is sure to have special moments replaying with every bite. Take a step away from traditional wedding dinners, and work with a caterer to create a menu that brings back the first sight of love between you and your special someone.
