Sneak Peaks From May Events

Below are some quick photos from my Iphone I snapped throughout our busy May wedding season! I'll be sure to post professional photos as they come in. But since those take a while to sort and edit so I thought you'd enjoy these for now =).

Terrific sunset view off our bluff over looking the river.

I love it when brides tell me that they check the blog often for updates and ideas. This past Saturday's bride was one such soul! She'd seen the idea/article of having a customized cake stand that matched her particular theme I'd posted on the blog months ago and loved it! I did too!! It matched the overlays that they had brought for their tables and is truely one of a kind!

This couple was so fun and adventurous! Their photographer, Josh Fowler Photography, took then out to our field where they'd just bailed some hay, and had them CLIMB ON TOP! They had a blast.

Both Bride and Groom were Texas Tech graduates. So as a nod to their almamauter the favors to their guests were none other than Texas Tech shapped cookies! Having something editable as your favor is ALWAYS a favorite of mine =).

Good Things Come To Those Who Wait

GUESS WHO'S ENGAGED!!!

None other than our owner, boss man, Dru Steubing to Jessica Ford.

He'd been searching for the perfect ring for weeks on end. He finally found it in Dallas and couldn't wait for it to arrive. Meanwhile he put things into motion for the right time and place to "pop the question".

As a child he found a rock on the shore of the guadaulpe river that runs through his family's property and when he picked it up, it split clean in half!! He kept it at his grandmother's house for this entire time for exact purpose. He took this rock, drilled a small hole in the middle and carefully placed Jessica's engagement ring inside of it.

He later placed the rock down by the river for them to stumble upon while taking a walk one late afternoon. He'd gotten his sister Kerri to hideout near where he'd placed the "rock" in an attempt to take some photos without Jessica seeing her. It worked perfectly and they have some amazing photos as a result!

The Big Question!! Looks like she said "YES"

The Happy, Engaged, Couple!

December Weddings

Well it seems that I've been a bad blogger and haven't updated you all in a while! I promise to be more up to day in the future. In the mean time I'm going to play a little catch up since our last post! Below is our wedding from 12-20-2009 which was an indoor ceremony and reception. Their photographer, Arol with AJH Photography has been out here several times and was super kind to share a couple of photos from their wedding day!

Raise The Cake - Literally!

Stumbled upon this charming website and idea for cake stands. This former wedding coordinator, who was tired of being stuck with the standard silver stands, started the company Raise The Cake to offer brides an alternative to the traditional. Its also a great way to add extra fabulous-ness to your wedding! Below is my favorite stand, but be sure to check out all of her other ideas!

December 2009

What a way to end 2009. We had several beautiful weddings in December with wonderful brides. What's even better is the sunsets that these great brides were given by mother nature!

The first wedding was December 5th with Casey and Robert. Their photographer, Melina from Alamo Photographic, was so nice to share with us the photos she effortlessly took that day including the flowers that The Marquardt Ranch arranged!

Tall centerpieces, red poinsettias white hydrangeas with red and white roses
and curly willow and roses inside the vase.

Bride's Bouquet. White and Red roses with Red Hypercium berry accents

Shorter centerpieces that match the taller arrangements.

Amazingly special photo through the wrought iron of our front doors
