Sitting in the Austin and San Antonio areas, these stunning venues feature cascading waterfalls, spacious views and flowing creeks. Nothing is more inspiring than nature’s beauty, and that beauty further enhances our ceremony and reception spaces. Each venue has a style all its own and they were designed with every aspect of you in mind. Take the scenic route through the rolling hills of Texas and see why so many couples say ‘We do’ to our venues.

ASHLEY AND KAMI

Love Prevails (even amidst a pandemic) Little did we know how much was about to change when we first started planning this issue. Who could have predicted the impact COVID-19 would have on weddings — not to mention our everyday lives? In a matter of months, terms like shelter in place, social distancing and #Coronabride became part of our vernacular. These truly have been unprecedented times. Couples with their wedding just days away had to postpone and were left scrambling to reschedule. Other couples that were planning their wedding had to put it on hold, unsure when gatherings of more than 10 people would be allowed — and safe for their loved ones.

But unprecedented times call for unprecedented responses. We have seen so many wonderful couples staying positive and working with local wedding vendors to think outside the box about celebrating their big day.

From live-streamed ceremonies to drive-by receptions with couples greeting a line of cars from their front yard — we have seen so much joy, even during uncertain times.

Love certainly prevailed, and you’re going to love our special wedding section in this issue highlighting some unique COVID weddings and elopements.

beautiful bridals P H OTOGRAP H Y T IP | Bridal sessions are by far my favorite session to shoot! It

is such a fun, laid back session where you get to play dress-up in the prettiest dress of your life! It gives you a chance to really see how everything is going to look and come together and allows you to make any changes so everything is perfect on the big day.

Additionally, we aren’t having to quickly squeeze in a few portraits on your wedding day, and this gives you more time for portraits with your new spouse.

and letting others in on who you are as a couple — whether that be bringing your dog(s) because they’re part of your little family, choosing a location/venue/restaurant that you go to weekly and incorporating that somehow into the shoot, or deciding to shoot somewhere with the skyline as the background because the city you live in means so much — I’m here to help you figure out those special things you can bring to a shoot to make it uniquely yours.

getting ready PHOTOGRAPHY TI P | Getting ready really is just what it

says - getting ready. It’s the photographer’s job to set you up for success by making sure the room is cleaned up, placing the bride or groom in the best available light, and then sitting back and allowing the moment to unfold naturally. Remember to keep a soft expression if you aren’t laughing or smiling. Concentration can come across as unhappiness in photos!

furry friends P H OTOGRAP H Y T IP | You know your pup best! If they are a bundle of

energy, have someone there on the day who is responsible for walks, food and water and expending some energy. There are even local services you can hire specifically so your friends and family can enjoy your day while a professional hangs with your furry family member. If they are anxious and skittish, we can do those photos somewhere quiet without distractions. Just let your photographer know your pet’s personality, and we’re always happy to help!

first look/touch P H OTOGRAP H Y T IP | I believe that every bride and groom should do

what feels right to them. However, I love to educate my couples so they have a greater understanding of what the pros are for a first look or waiting to see one another, and then they can make the best educated decision for themselves. Since the majority of our clients have never been married before, it’s helpful to hear from them what’s most important. For instance, if being with their guests is most important (especially if they have a lot of guests from out of town), then a first look will work best for them as it allows them to spend time with their guests starting at cocktail hour.

the whole time is observing and taking quick snaps. I minimize distractions like an excess of gear or lighting and just focus on the moments.

posed portraits P H OTOGRAP H Y T IP | Typically the couple’s portraits are always done post-

ceremony while their guests are at cocktail hour. This usually falls later into the evening closer to sunset which is great if you’re going for those golden hour shots!

ALSO PICTURED | The Senterpiece • Pink Palette Artists • Monique Lhuillier • Blue Sage Events • River Oaks Garden Club

MINT PHOTOGRAPHY | @MINTPHOTOGRAPHYTX

PHOTO G R A P HY TIP | I don’t have a specific photo checklist

other than get, what I call, the “fridge photos” and then making sure I get ample smooshed hugs and big smiles. It’s essential to get those cheeseball images where everyone is looking at the camera smiling.

Those are the legacy images that will be printed and passed down for generations. Don’t skip out on the formal shots even if you’re bursting with artistic creativity. I also love to get individual bridal party members with the couple. Something funny, something sweet, something silly.

first dance P H OTOGRAP H Y T IP | The first dance can happen whenever the couple feels

like it makes the most sense for them and the guest experience they envision. Most of my couples choose to do their first dance before dinner concludes, which is often most popular with East Coast style receptions (where a live band is breaking up the entire dinner course into dance sets). This New York style gets the party started earlier in the evening, which is why so many couples enjoy this type of reception. Alternatively, the more traditional reception has the first dance take place after dinner concludes, which is approximately ninety minutes from the start of the reception.

ALSO PICTURED | Westbank Flower Market • Jami Svay • Warren Barrón Bridal • Mattie’s • Ivy Robinson Events

KRISTIN LA VOIE PHOTOGRAPHY | @KRISTINLAVOIEPHOTO

reception fun PHOTO G R A P HY TIP | I bring multiple off-camera flashes that I

mount on stands in the corners of the reception area. That allows me to add light coverage in all areas of the reception that might normally be too dark for photos. I would say that lighting expertise is one of our strong suits, as we also know how to make that light directional, balanced with your lighting vendor’s lights, and above all, flattering.

CORY RYAN PHOTOGRAPHY | @CORYRYANPHOTOGRAPHY

28

candid moments P H OTOGRAP H Y T IP | The moment right after the ceremony is usually a great

time to capture candid joyful moments. This is the time when the couple has a private moment to realize that they are finally married. Another great time to capture genuine moments is when the couple sees each other for the first time either during their first look or during the ceremony.

CAITLIN ROSE PHOTOGRAPHY | @CAITLINROSEPHOTO

grand exit P HOTO GRAPHY TI P | Plan your exit around your guests or

wedding party! Most grand exits will include all of the wedding guests, and in this case, you want to make sure you get your grand exit shot before everyone has left so you have a photo filled with all of your loved ones cheering you on.

Austin beauty experts give us the ins and outs of what makeup is best for your skin tone

P o rc e l a i n with Level 12 Salon | @level12salon How do you ensure you’re making the right choice when it comes to picking the right tone for your skin?

Our bride’s skin tone has both pink and yellow undertones. First step, before concealer or foundation, is to moisturize and prime the skin, which is the most important step! I used two concealer tones — yellow under the eyes and the T-zone area. I used a pink tone on other areas including the neck, then followed with a light blend of foundation to seal and blend the concealer. The contour brush I used had a combination of pink and peach tones. The pink one is a powder, and the peach tone is a cream. I personally like the cream contours and blushes because they hydrate the skin.

LIP

What are some tips to finding your undertone?

The best tip I can give you in choosing the right undertones is as follows. During the spring and summertime, if you are out in the sun, most people have warmer (yellow) tones. In the fall and winter months, we are less tan and can use a little pink in our skin. Most cosmetic lines offer pink and yellow tones. I personally look at the skin tone on the neck and forehead to determine my blending tones.

In most cases, I blend both pink and yellow tones to achieve the best blend.

CHEEK

with Sunny Hair And Makeup Artistry @sunnyhairandmakeup What’s the best way to create a natural look with a warm undertone?

This beautiful bride has more of a yellow undertone. If you’re wanting to stay with a very natural look, colors that go with that skin tone are “warmer” colors.

Think of the sun or fire—colors with yellow, orange and bronze tones. There are so many great palettes that have these colors. We love Buxom Cosmetics “May Contain Nudity” and Anastasia Beverly Hills “Soft Glam” palette. It’s a good idea to use a more peachy blush to complement those warm colors. Some great ones are “Peachy Keen” by MAC Cosmetics, “Peachy” by Limelife by Alcone and “Georgia Peach” by Benefit Cosmetics.

LIP

How do you figure out your undertone?

Look at your whole body, especially your neck and chest, not just your face.

Many times our face can have redness in it that is not really your undertone.

Look at yourself facing natural light—indoor, facing a window. Looking at your whole body, do you feel like you have, in general, more pink or more yellow in your skin? If you have pink, you have cool undertones. If you are more yellow, you have warm undertones. Do you tan easily? Do you burn and then tan? Many times if you burn first, you have more of a “cool” undertone (think pink). Note: This does not necessarily apply if you are just extremely fair.

Warm Beige with Think Brink Beauty @thinkbrinkbeauty What hues perfectly complement this skin tone?

Our bride Laura has a neutral skin tone! Colors that fall in the middle of the color spectrum like dusty or soft pinks and rosy colors perfectly complement with this skin tone, and that’s what we used to create this classic bridal look!

What products would you recommend to recreate this look?

You can recreate this look at home with the NARS Exposed cheek palette and the Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Liquid Matte in shade 401 Burnt Raisin.

with Makeup ATX | @makeupatx What hues perfectly complement this skin tone?

Esmerelda has beautiful, golden olive skin. When working on more of a natural look like this, I tend to use soft washes of color. For this look, I wanted to play up the skin, keeping everything else minimal. For Esmerelda’s skin, I prepped the skin with Charlotte Tilbury’s Magical Cream. To get this youthful glowy skin, I mixed FACE Atelier - Ultra Pro Foundation, with MAC Cosmetics Prep + Prime Essential Oils. Keeping the cheeks soft and fresh, I applied SENNA Slipcover Cream to Powder Blush in Tender Rose.

What are some tips to finding your undertone?

There’s a few things I factor in to finding the perfect skin tone. When working on clients I like to mix shades. It’s not common to have the same tone all over.

You want to match your face to your body. If I’m uncertain of an undertone or shade, I will take 2-3 shades of foundation and apply it with a Q-tip at the jawline. Next, I let it sit for about a min (this gives it time to oxidize) to see which color blends in the best.

CHEStNUT with flAir Style Lounge | @flairstylelounge How did you enhance this skin tone to create the perfect glow?

Enhancing the skin with a warm glow and adding accents of peaches and warm pinks pair wonderfully with this skin tone.

Becca Backlight Priming Filter Face primer is a go-to product to enhance the warm glow of skin tones like Carneisha’s. Cream blushes like Glossier’s Cloud Paint or Tarte’s Sugar Rush Beach Cheeks are favorites to deliver a healthy and fresh finish with an authentic flushed glow. Lips are a great way to add a subtle pop of color that enhances the soft golden caramel of the skin. There are great options for all budgets. Maybelline Color Sensational in Blushing Bud is a beautiful everyday option, while Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick in Mademoiselle is the perfect splurge for a special occasion. No matter what, don’t be afraid of warmth. It will help bring the face to life with a natural looking flushed look and accentuate the golden caramel tones in the skin.

What products would you recommend to recreate this look?

For Carneisha’s understated glam look, Becca Backlight Priming Filter Face Primer was used to enhance her natural glow. Her cheek color is Tarte Cheek Stain in Blushing Bride accented with a highlight of Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter at the the high points of her cheekbones. Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick in Mademoiselle was the perfect choice of a warm pink lip color to compliment her glowing complexion. The eyes were kept simple with a champagne shimmer shadow on the lids and a soft neutral mauve shadow blended in the creases. A scatter of cluster lashes were added to the lash line for the perfect amount of glam that brings attention the eyes without overpowering the entire face.

P R E VA I L S

he times may be unprecedented, but despite the chaos and T uncertainty, we’ve learned that nothing...not even a pandemic

Celebrating weddings during a season unlike any other

36

can prevent love from prevailing. When it became apparent that our world almost overnight was drastically changing, no one had the answers on if and when we could expect to resume our normal lives. Those with weddings on the immediate horizon were some of the hardest hit with the news and faced with some of the most difficult decisions to make.

For an unknown period, ceremonies and celebratory gatherings were postponed. For couples planning, it was heartbreaking and our hearts broke for them. It didn’t seem fair for uncontrollable forces to alter such significant plans. And for so many, it didn’t!

Love prevailed and couples carried on with making their marriage official with more than a meaningful Plan B. Here are just some of their heartfelt stories.

ue to COVID-19, most everything we had originally planned was out the window. Unfortunately, the wedding we

had intended to have at Camp Lucy had to be cancelled less than a week before our wedding day, which didn’t leave us much time for planning. Thankfully, our vendors were extremely accommodating and agreed to meet us in New Braunfels. Due to COVID-19, I had two bridesmaids and Wade had one groomsman. His niece and nephew, along with my sister, were readers. We will be forever grateful for our Rector, Ripp Hardaway and the St. John’s church for allowing us to have our intimate ceremony in their beautiful church. We had our first dance in our living room and enjoyed a delicious meal catered from McAdoo’s. Next, we toasted for our first time as husband and wife and then cut our cake.

We spent the rest of the night with our family; laughing, sharing stories and enjoying our first night as husband and wife!

Our favorite wedding day memory was the intimacy of the wedding and being surrounded by our immediate families.

t the beginning of April, my fiancé and I were faced with the same very difficult decision that many

engaged couples at the time were faced with: should we postpone our wedding? We went back and forth for weeks trying to decide what the best solution was. Ultimately, we did not want to put our loved ones at risk, and decided that with the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 it would be best to go ahead and postpone our wedding. As difficult as this decision was, we knew it was the right thing to do. That same day, we decided that since COVID-19 was forcing us to change our wedding plans, why not go ahead and get married with a small ceremony surrounded by our immediate family and close friends? We went down to the county clerk, obtained our marriage license, and proceeded to plan our small ceremony in two short weeks. The entire experience of having to reschedule our big wedding and planning an intimate ceremony made us realize that a lot of things we that, despite all the chaos, we were able to become husband and wife. While our wedding wasn’t exactly what we had originally envisioned, it was the most special, wonderful day of our lives. We are so dang excited to spend the rest of our lives loving each other!

ur wedding day was seamless and magical. We had originally planned a huge 200 person wedding for September, but

had decided to cancel due to COVID-19. Soon after we cancelled our big wedding, I saw an Instagram ad for a central Texas intimate wedding giveaway. Blake and I created a parody song about COVID crashing our wedding for our entry video, and we won our entire wedding! Our guest list went from 200 people to 20, but we honestly loved having a very intimate wedding ceremony. We had everything we could have ever wanted at our wedding and more, just on a smaller, more intimate scale. Our best friends gave speeches, we did all the traditional dances, we cut the cake and we were able

e were certainly torn on how to proceed as COVID-19 loomed and Texas was reopening. We decided

we would move our larger reception to next year and keep things to family and close friends for this year.

After some navigating, we decided to also move this year’s celebration to our family lake house, which is were arriving, and we were married under a large oak tree with the lake as the background. Our dog, Sonny, being part of the ceremony was always a top priority and his collar was one of our favorite things! My uncle officiated, which was unbelievably special. We laughed a lot, and we cried. It truly was the most special evening, and we were honored to have shared with family and friends.

people who raised us, supported us and taught us how to love were hundreds, even thousands of miles away and working through their own personal trauma of living in a world that was suddenly so foreign. Ultimately, we came to realize that those people are ALWAYS with us, just as we are with them. Life is messy and chaotic even in the best of circumstances; but together, John and I can weather any storm and this was no different.

We resolved to celebrate our love and be recognized as a family in our own right, so we opted to have a virtual wedding as we combined pre-recorded videos with a YouTube livestream ceremony and a Zoom reception.

The original plan was out the window and the new plan included my brother’s pre-recorded officiant speech in Chicago, my godson pretending to walk down an aisle as our ring bearer in California, my nephews throwing flower petals, our parents giving us their blessings, family and friends sending us love, John and I’s first dance and even my favorite local celebrity, meteorologist Zack Shields of Good Day Austin, sent a video wishing us sunny days ahead.

yle and I are college sweethearts and have been together for six years. We had planned our dream wedding to be near

the water at Horseshoe Bay Resort with 200 of our closest friends and family, but unfortunately because of COVID-19, we had to postpone. I lost my dad to cancer not long after my engagement, so planning a wedding and trying to be excited for our big day wasn’t something that I was fully present for until the past couple months. It truly devastated me knowing that the one day I was looking forward to, the one happy day I was going to have to make the year a little bit better, was going to have to be changed. The date aside, we needed to cut our guest list and our dream day wouldn’t look like what we had imagined it to. And for me, that was okay. At the end of the day, I’m marrying the love of my life and I don’t want to wait for that anymore — especially not another year. My dad always taught us that life’s too short and to always follow

our hearts. With that in mind, I’m excited to be a wife and to begin the next chapter of our journey.

grew up in Austin, and with most of my family living in Texas, I thought I knew that it would be where I

would eventually get married. As news of the pandemic started to gather momentum, suddenly our guest list began to dwindle. Due to age and comorbidities, all of Michael’s extended family had canceled. We got to thinking about the remainder of the guest list and the risks that we would pose to these loved ones as we, living in Charlottesville, Virginia, would inevitably have to pass through a major airport in order to reach Austin.

Less than five days prior to our wedding date, we made the tough decision to call off our Austin wedding. I was absolutely devastated. Later that afternoon, Michael and I threw around the idea of finding a local officiant to still marry us on the day we originally planned. My dad is a private pilot, so fortunately he was able to fly himself, my mother and my original bridal bouquet up to Virgina without passing through any major airports. It was a short ceremony, but it was beautiful and very ‘us.’

together to celebrate their love and still be able to make grand gestures and big commitments to one another.

It is so necessary in our current times to take a moment and appreciate the love you have, so we brought Vegas to Mercury Hall! The Hall was dressed to the nines and at the center was The King himself – Elvis – who officiated and sang their ceremonies, where eighteen of their nearest and dearest were welcome to accompany the couple. We also had a livestream set so families and friends, near and far, could share in the merriment.

There was champagne, cake, music and a meal-to-go, so they could continue the celebration at home.

It’s fresh, smoky and spicy, then brightened up with seasonal citrus from our house-made aioli. With a few key twists to the classic crab cake, we’ve elevated it to something over the top.

The lamb and sausage with their gamey flavors are a pleasant hint of smokiness yielding a rich savoriness while the nectarines with their bright plump juiciness lend aspects of tart sweetness.

Who doesn’t take delight in the lovely aromas of floral and the honeyed notes that saffron imparts to the nuttiness of rice?

Duck confit is a classic French dish that is prepared by braising the duck in fat. Our grits are made with three cheeses because honestly who doesn’t need some cheese?!

What makes this appetizer such a delicious bite is that it has a great balance of all the key flavor profiles and also has an interesting contrast of textures – the fried green tomatoes have a slight sour taste or bitterness, which is balanced by the rich, sweet flavor of the heirloom cherry tomatoes and also the complex sweetness of the velvety balsamic reduction. These flavors are enhanced with the saltiness of the crisp cornmeal crust and the creamy fresh mozzarella, which also balances out the acidity of the tomatoes.

THE PET GAL . @weddingpetattendant

Planning a wedding should never be a stressful experience, and neither should your special day! You only get to experience this day once, so leave it to the experts to worry about logistics and all the little details that will make the day go smoothly. The memories you make on your wedding day will last a lifetime, and a professional planner can help make sure those memories are positively precious.

PET ATTENDANT Your pets are a big part of your life, and there’s no reason they can’t be part of your wedding. No need to stress over leashes, walks and bathroom breaks on your big day: that’s where a pet attendant comes in. Handling the needs of your guests of honor, chauffeuring your pets to and from the wedding, as well as working with your planner and photographer to make sure they’re included in the most special moments. Lots of tail wagging, indeed!

DJ More than simply playing your favorite genre of tunes, a pro DJ will be the one handling all things sound-related and setting the tone as emcee for the night. You never want someone who turns the focus away from where it should be, or worse, makes for an awkwardly silent dance floor. Trust us: an experienced, talented DJ can give you a flawlessly fun reception you’ll never forget!

Perhaps it’s simply enjoying the moment that’s most important to you.

Taking it all in, not worrying about a thing, just focusing on the love of your life and the love that surrounds you both. If that sounds like your dream day, we’ve got the team for you!

Think outside the box with edible elements that are as unique as they are tasty.

A favor to take home gives guests one last memory of your amazing night. Let that last impression be a sweet one!

Bid farewell to your guests and share your thanks for their support as you send them home with something impeccably delicious.

A catered meal never has to be boring, and neither do the appetizers! Food is an art, and the dishes served at your wedding are another chance to reflect your style as a couple.

GREY MEETS GOLD I have always been obsessed with handmade paper and love the fact that each sheet is unique to itself – no two will ever be exactly the same. Handmade paper provides a tactile experience that will make your guests stop to really take it in and appreciate the details. If you have a limited budget, you don’t need to go all out. Perhaps you can splurge on the invitation card or another detail of your wedding to incorporate this detail. Get creative. There’s no need to feel locked in to an all-or-nothing approach.

SUSTAINABILITY

FINE DAY PRESS Our standard invitation collection is printed on 100% cotton, tree-free stock, making it a great eco-friendly option! We also love printing on seed paper - besides the fun texture, your guests can enjoy beautiful wildflowers by simply soaking the invitation in water, and planting it under a thin layer of soil. The seed paper we use is handmade by a wonderful company in Colorado and has about a 70% sprout rate (highest in the industry). All of the seeds are non-GMO and sourced in the USA.

JORDAN FLOWERS & EVENTS As our clients become increasingly environmentally conscious, it’s important to make sure their event reflects their same values. A common misconception most people have regarding what is considered a sustainable centerpiece is that you’re limited to live plants or succulents.

However, there are so many sustainable options outside of the norm that we can offer to help reduce waste. Centerpieces can be repurposed or reused to bring joy to others. This is the inspiration for our Making Happiness Bloom program. We partner with Senior Access to deliver event arrangements to Austin seniors, so when you buy an arrangement or centerpiece for your special day, you are buying an arrangement that will be picked up after your event and delivered the following business day without any additional charge to Senior Access Clients to continue to enjoy for days to come.

INTERACTIVE STATIONS

THE CUPCAKE BAR Bringing an interactive element to your wedding is a fun way to engage the crowd and create a memorable experience! Our interactive desserts at weddings can be a fun, unexpected treat, and offerings are truly endless. For example, we offer our original cupcake bar with cupcake bartenders, a doughnut wall for that late night celebration or our roaming treats filled with goodies like candy and glow sticks.

Each set up is totally unique and allows for complete customization, whether that be through colors, trends, menu or even wedding logos. The options are endless, and that is really what makes the interactive dessert experience something people will be talking about for years to come!

to be handmade weeks in advance so they have time to dry, but it’s so worth the stunning result. It goes without saying that the cake stand and florals selected here really set this cake table up as a show-stopping focal point of this very large wedding, but what we adore most is the sweet, personal touch requested by the bride and groom. If you look closely at the edge of the fourth tier, you’ll see a replica of their pup sitting on the cake. Sentimental touches like these have a beautiful way of making a large wedding seem more intimate and go a long way to reveal more about the couple to their guests.

MARQUEE EVENT RENTALS The King Louis chair is so on trend right now.

With many couples opting for a micro-wedding, an outdoor venue or a backyard wedding, this chair has a sophisticated and enduring style that adds opulence to any space. Because this chair is upholstered, it creates a rich, ultra-personal, residential feel. The clean lines of the Neoclassical style make it as elegant as it is comfortable!

NICOLE MERA Coming out of the current health crisis, I have noticed couples are really celebrating their love, and with that comes creating the custom ring they have always dreamed of. Some are creating “big looks” by adding delicate double halos or even cluster halos around their diamonds. Couples want to make their rings unique and one-of-a-kind, and one of the best ways to do that is to create an engagement ring with diamonds on every single angle. They are creating these looks while pairing their rings with big and bold wedding bands to match.

DESIGN TO FLOURISH Having a large scale seating chart gives you the opportunity to create a WOW moment for your guests and showcase your style as a couple. There are so many options that go beyond the simple paper escort card display that can serve as both a beautiful addition to your wedding decor and offer functionality by directing your guests to their seats.

Keep You on Track with To-Do Lists

My job is to understand my couples’ needs, personalities and life situations, so I can help them accomplish their goals with as little stress as possible. I’ve found that ‘to-do’ lists can be really productive for some clients while being extremely overwhelming for others. All Lovely Day couples will have deadlines and to-do lists, however, we try to find the right approach with each couple in order to successfully tackle everything on the list. Some couples thrive on structure, organization and absolutely L-O-V-E a good list.

Their items tend to be completed before or right at the deadline.

Our structured ‘to-do’ list along with the accompanying resources and information is exactly what they need to keep them on track.

-Kierstin Schupack, Lovely Day Events

3 Manage Your Budget

Aside from not letting your emotions get away from you, budget management is important because marriage is the start of a new life together as a united front. A lot of couples say they learn a lot about each other during the process of planning a wedding, especially with organizational skills and frugality. Managing your budget is just as much in place for your bank account, as it is for you and your fiancé’s sanity.

Our budget serves as the guide for booking all vendors. We allocate specific funds to each and every category, and as we book vendors we update these numbers. If we go over or under in one category, we know we have to make that up in another category. By tracking it all, we are holding our clients accountable for their spending. We want them to see this Photo | SMS Photography Also Pictured | Bouquets of Austin • Marquee Event Rentals • Horseshoe Bay Resort

breakdown as simplified as possible.

Heavenly Weddings

@heavenlyweddingstx

Remove Unnecessary Stress Each wedding is so unique. Couples that decide to not book a planner may try to copy a timeline which is not custom to their special day. I always put what time the sunset is on my timelines. Couples may think they have plenty of time for photos when that may not be the case. They may forget to allow some rest time before the ceremony, which is such an important time too.

Alex and I spent the week prior to the wedding foraging cactus pads, cleaning them, and preparing them for the display. To see the decor and floral planning come to fruition was breathtaking. We will never forget that moment.”

“After a full day filled with (our favorite) people, I surprised Ethan with a last dance while everyone was outside getting ready for our exit. It let us breathe and be intentionally present. One last moment to take it all in. The dimmed lighting, the beautiful florals, all the time and energy it took to make this day happen. Having a brief second to soak it in – couldn’t recommend it more.”

We had been dreaming about this for years and finally our dreams just came

“One memory that I will forever cherish was the moment I saw Patrick standing at the altar. It was extremely important to me that Patrick and I not do a first look, a choice that others around us questioned a lot throughout the planning process! I am so happy we followed through on that decision because nothing can compare to how special that @shannonvandivier

moment was. Seeing him for the first time while walking down the aisle was a very surreal and emotional moment.”

“It’s hard to narrow down any kind of favorites from that day because everything was my favorite, but if I had to pick, the first thing that comes to mind was simply marrying Jon at the altar. Standing amongst all our family and friends, looking into Nikk Nguyen Photo

“Details matter…sort of. It definitely was a worthy pursuit to piece all of our ideas together and give the planning process our best shot, but also it was important to not worry so much about the small things! I learned it really was best to slow down and enjoy the season, have fun, lean into the hard moments, communicate with my family and fiancé and ask my friends for their help!”

“We opted to not do a first look before the ceremony, so turning the corner and seeing my soon-to-be husband was a moment I will never forget. The amount of emotions that rush over you in that moment is indescribable. Aside from that, after the ceremony ended, I had asked that we got some time alone together to take it all in. We were escorted into a nearby room, gin and tonics waiting and had the most incredible fifteen minutes alone together, just the two of us.”

“We had a small Muslim ceremony officiated by a Muslim imam. I wore my wedding saree from South India, with a blouse stitched by my cousin and necklaces from my uncle, designed by my dear departed grandfather. Here we recited Arabic and were married in the eyes of our shared religion. After some pictures, I changed into my white gown in honor of my American upbringing, and we joined all of our family and friends outdoors for a vow exchange led by our good friend. He spoke beautifully and Sameer and I exchanged the vows we had written for one another.”

The week leading up to our wedding day was very stressful with COVID-19 affecting our original plans. Tara stepped in, contacting all vendors with the change of plans.

Our New Braunfels wedding would not have been as successful as it was without her.”

“Five years ago, shortly after meeting TJ, I lost my mom to a battle with cancer. Before she passed, she told everyone that anytime they saw an elephant, it was her saying ‘I’m Sloane Photo -- IG:@sloanephoto_

here!’ My mom was my best friend and the person I looked up to the most, so I wanted to honor her and remember her in every way possible throughout our wedding day. My ‘something blue’ was a small vintage patch stitched on the inside of my dress with an elephant on it to represent her beside me. At the base of my bouquet we had a golden elephant sewn on that was visible as I walked down the aisle.”

“It’s easy to get swept away in a whirlwind of well-wishes during the reception with the outpouring of love from happy friends and family in all directions, so it was especially nice that we had opted for a private last dance at the end of the night. We slow-danced to a favorite song in the hush of The Addison Grove barn under dimmed lights, which was a special moment that let us bottle away that luminous feeling of being newlyweds before heading out the barn doors for our grand sparkler exit.”

“My favorite memory of our wedding day was walking down the aisle to Andy.

When the church doors opened and I finally saw him I was filled with so much joy.

It was all that I had dreamed, walking towards him and seeing our friends and family who were there to celebrate with us.”

“HOW TO ADJUST. We had to scratch our Plan A wedding because of COVID-19.

Britni Dean Photography

We moved our larger reception to next year for our one-year anniversary and kept a smaller party for this year because we wanted to say our vows with family and close friends.”

“Hands down, the ceremony – not what we expected to love the most, but definitely the most special. The band was playing to welcome the guests, who were encouraged to pick up a drink at the bar and enjoy the music right away. We held the ceremony immediately in front of the concert stage where Eric and I first met, and had our friends and family huddled around us. It was there that Eric’s sister, Kerry, married us.”

DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL THINGS, AND TRY AND KEEP PERSPECTIVE OF IT ALL. THE MORE I ACCEPTED THAT I COULD NOT CHASE PERFECTION IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE PLANNING, THE MORE I STARTED TO ACTUALLY ENJOY THE PROCESS AND JUST HAVE FUN WITH IT.
