It’s been a busy week around here! Prepping for fall weddings, venue hunting for Spring brides (catch us on instagram!), while plotting out some perfectly cool recipes for summer eating. I get to be home alone with the dogs this week, and plan on partaking in some of my more obscure food inclinations while the husband is out of town.

Off to enjoy the weekend, as we’re counting the weeks until the fall season starts up again. 2014 is looking like an especially fantastic year!

When we received word that the mother of the groom was set on using The Adolphus Hotel in Dallas as the scene for the welcome dinner for guests of C & C’s late January wedding, we were beyond excited. We’ve been huge fans of the elegant, light-filled 19th Floor Ballroom (also known as The Governor’s […]

As one of the first and often most important decisions, your venue sets the tone for both your wedding as well as your to-do list for your planning journey. While your venue may or may not be the same for both your ceremony and reception, there are practical considerations such as inclusions (rentals, etc) or […]
