Free Design Board: White Ballroom Wedding
Free Design Board: White Ballroom Wedding

When wanting to stay with a classic aesthetic, it is important to stick to mainly neutrals, and use color sparingly. Keep the larger components white or gold, and use the smaller accents to add color. White hydrangea and rose arrangements are synonymous with the ballroom aesthetic, however in this design, we chose to add in greenery to the flower arrangements since the venue itself was already very white. If your ballroom has a lot of color in the carpets or decor (as most classic ballrooms do), you can forego the greenery for more of an all white arrangement. Larger elements of the wedding were kept fairly simple, while we chose to go more untraditional with the smaller details like cocktail napkins, escort cards, monogram design, etc. Going out of the box on the smaller details will add personality in to your wedding while keeping that overall elegant aesthetic you desire.

I Planned a Wedding For Bachelor Pilot Peter
I Planned a Wedding For Bachelor Pilot Peter

If you do not know who “Pilot Peter” is, you probably not a reality TV lover and you are probably are very free on Monday nights. Peter, who also happens to be a pilot (yay for alliteration!) is the new star of the hit TV show “The Bachelor” and is on his journey to find love and find someone who is: there for the right reasons/ vulnerable/ walls down/ enter all other bachelor lingo here. As you know, the whole purpose of this whole show is to fall in love, get engaged, and eventually.. you guessed it, GET MARRIED!

So why would I plan a wedding for Pilot Peter? No, I am not hoping he one day sees this and hires me to be his planner (although that would be awesome, think about all the IG followers), but I wanted to show you how to incorporate personal details into your wedding design to make your wedding uniquely yours.. or in this case uniquely Peter’s!

Holiday Luncheon for the Cook Children's Women's Board
Holiday Luncheon for the Cook Children's Women's Board

We were honored to help plan the Cook Children’s Women’s Board Holiday Luncheon for the 2019 year! With the help of an amazing vendor team and an incredible vision of the client, we transformed her backyard into a Christmas Wonderland, filled with festive linens, garland, and tons of yummy treats! We chose pom pom linen overlays from La Tavola to bring out the whimsical side of the Holidays. A real live reindeer greeted guests as they arrived, and specialty cocktails served in a Christmas Ornament were waiting for guests as they entered the door! The Dallas String Quartet played a medley of festive holiday music while guests mingled and enjoyed the delicious food from Bonnell’s and desserts from Treat Me Sweet. Each guest left with some cheery holiday favors which included mulling spice mason jars and Christmas candles! We had so much fun bringing the Christmas Spirit to this amazing group of women!
