Austin wedding at St. Mary’s Cathedral

admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 12:39:28 +0000

Amanda and Kyle tied the knot! They are such a sweet couple! They met at a gym when they were teens and fell in love. You can see Amanda’s Bridal portrait here! They married at the BEAUTIFUL St. Mary’s cathedral here in Austin Texas. Their wedding colors were a DEEP blue and BRIGHT orange. Perfect for their summer wedding. The reception took place at Inn at Pearl Street which even though it was VERY hot it was GORGEOUS and the guests had a GREAT time! (I think I drank 7 sprites that night just to keep hydrated).Enjoy!

Georgetown wedding: Katie and Lance

admin — Mon, 24 May 2010 05:39:20 +0000

This was such a sweet couple! You could tell they truly loved one another and couldn’t wait to spend “forever together” There were a LOT of kids at this ceremony and they RULED the roost! Katie brought wedding coloring books for the kids so of course my assistant and I passed them out and had a “coloring contest”. They piled all their pictures on the head table in front of Katie and Lance so of course I HAD to take a ring pic on the pile of sweet crayon colored pictures. I wish you guys the best in your marriage! And can’t wait to get to your album! Until then enjoy these photos…

So this dress above is why I entered this wedding into the DIY category. The bride’s mother made these beautiful dresses from a design that the bride came up with combining several different patterns.

Also another reason for the DIY category the Bride’s grandmother made these rose shaped dinner mints! They were sooo creamy and yummy! I limited my self to one (TRYING to cut back on sweets as there are diabetics in my family).

DIY wedding ice cream buffet

admin — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 06:26:29 +0000

So I am still finishing up a new wedding I can’t wait to share with you all! It is sooooo beautiful that I am just itching with anticipation to post it! So until then I thought I would show you guys this FABULOUS DIY Ice cream parlor set up. It is for weddings but would work well for any kind of ice cream social! I am thinking the kids in our youth group would really dig this too! So when it starts to get a wee bit warmer we will bust this out on them! So if you want to throw an old school ice cream social go to Eat Drink Chic for all the templates for the amazing tags and more photos! {all images by Amy Moss}

DIY wedding idea

admin — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:23:38 +0000

So here are a couple of DIY ideas for you DIY brides out there. I am on the verge of being finished editing so as photoshop is doing some menial tasks for me I will utilize my time and provide you all with some DIY inspiration . The first picture is from Bakerella I thought these cakepops would be a fun new way to provide cake without the usual cake or cupcake alternative. You can get the info on how to make them here… Bakerella

I saw these GORGEOUS aisle candles on Beth Helmstetter’s blog she is out in California. This is such a fun idea! You just need some stumps and pile leaves around the bottom. Then they put down a doily on the top placed more leaves/twigs with leaves ontop then added a candle inside a tall vase/candle holder. Then added some more vases/candle holders around the bottom of the stump- can you say GORGEOUS! Love it!

So this one isn’t a DIY BUT I thought it was an awesome etsy find over at Barking Maddison’s shop! They are custom leather belts! I would LOVE to photograph one of these amazing belts around your man! OR do a ring shot on your favorite words! It would be something unique and something your groom would CHERISH for years to come! Just make sure that you give him space for the honeymoon pounds!

DIY wedding ideas…

Ok so I LOOOOVVVEEE weddings! I love the creativity of them and the uniqueness of each one. I look through bridal blogs almost daily so I thought I might as well share these gems with you ladies and gents out there! I love helping my brides enrich their weddings so that it is uniquely yours! I got this DIY progect from the beloved www.designsponge.com It is a summer bouquet that I ADORE! A little insider tip: If you are going truly DIY with your bouquet (Florists don’t kill me cause I LOVE your work!) you can go to Central Market and or Whole foods the day before and pick all the flowers that you love that are in season that they have in stock. We did this for my sister-in-law’s wedding recently and we got all the flowers for bouquets and boutineers for less than $300. BUT you want to make sure that you have a friend or someone that you trust that has put a bouquet together before and or practices putting one together before hand! So with that being said check out this… DIY summer picnic bouquet
