Driskill Hotel

The Driskill Hotel was built in 1886 and one of the oldest hotels in Austin. The location right down on 6th street gives it a prime spot. The bar is also pretty great and will make a great place to grab some post-wedding celebratory drinks.

Le Papier Studio has this great line of handmade paper expressions, Smitten Sticks. We are planing on having a photo booth at the wedding for guests to take candid portraits, I love the idea of making similar props.

Smell the fresh flowers...

So we had a meeting with the florist last month. The idea is to have lots of different colors and sizes of flowers, that are more homespun looking that all identical. Here are the selection of what will be used:

Hydrangeas


With more Hydrangeas


Some Bells of Ireland


And finally some pretty purple ones.

Sustainable boutonnieres...who knew?

From SuccyStuff, her bouronnieres are transplantable after the ceremony, how is that for being green?



She also has this great wall hanging for your entryway, I love the way the succulents look with the moss.

Angelica...

So pretty and definitely something you could wear over and over...

Save the Dates...

are ordered, shipped and here! We just need to address them and get them in the mail. Be on the look out.

*Special thanks to Gary for all his hard design work, they look great!

A little of the Bubbly...

So what is a wedding without a little of the bubbly for a celebratory toast. But you know, it is hard to pass out all the glasses in time. I love the idea of this champagne in a can. From the Francis Coppola vineyards, this little mini cans are named for Sophia.


I like the pop of color as well as easy service they provide. Traditional? No, but fashionable and functional, yes!
