Accolades

Sometimes you just get wrapped up in things! In the midst of buying a home, planning and designing weddings for amazing clients, and just living life, one forgets to post on their blog from time to time. Well, hopefully it won't happen too often.

Anyway, we decided to give ourselves some props for receiving a bit of blog love this spring.

Where you may have spotted us (click the link below each screenshot to see the post and team of vendors):

Workin' It {TEHA 2012}

Hey, all! I wanted to give you a little taste of the tablescape and other materials I designed for the Texas Belles Texas Event and Hospitality Affair (TEHA) in March at one of our favorite venues, Mercury Hall. The Texas Belles, University of Texas at Austin's event planning organization, select their favorite industry folks to participate in TEHA so we were quite honored to be asked!

We love to collaborate with all the talented vendors in Austin so we brought on a few of friends to carry out our design vision - including Loot Vintage Rentals, Rosehip Flora, and The Creative Parasol.

I hope you enjoy our space as much as we did!

We got there early to set up!

Our finished tablescape included precious table and chairs from Loot Vintage Rentals and Bird Dog Wedding Bunting we made:

So everyone could see a little more what Bird Dog Wedding is all about, I created a real-life "pinboard" of my design work. Also had biz cards from my team of vendors and paper fans as favors for those attending.

And there you have it!

We had so much fun putting this design together for TEHA. It was very much Bird Dog Wedding meets Mercury Hall - rustic and whimsical and colorful - all at the same time. Hurray!

Coming Soon...(!!!)

I'm so thrilled to show off my splash page - designed by my uber-talented friend, Lauren of The Creative Parasol! When she first showed it to me, I teared up a bit because it was a reminder that my dream of owning an event design and planning company was actually coming true, as silly as that sounds. It's all happening! 

Stay tuned for more branding and design fun for Bird Dog Wedding! 

Entwined 2012 {Rehearsal Dinner Invitations}

Remember how we're designing a super cute/colorful/French/boutique-y rehearsal dinner for Annie and Tyler, the winners of the HUGE Entwined wedding weekend giveaway? Ok, good! Well, yesterday, The Creative Parasol guest posted on Entwined's blog with a wonderful preview of the rehearsal dinner invitations they designed. They turned out so incredibly well. Lauren is just so talented and I love our brains when we get together. I'm absolutely thrilled about the result and Annie and Tyler were, too! Check them out, folks!

Recap {The Cream Event}

We had such a blast at The Cream Event, hosted by Bash, Please at Mercury Hall on Sunday! The ladies take this curated show full of the cream (of the crop!) of wedding vendors across the country and decided to bring the event to Austin! My friend and colleague, Lauren of The Creative Parasol, was one such talented vendor selected to participate and she was kind enough to ask me to come help her out! I gladly obliged.

I could go on and on about how great The Cream Event was, but I'll just let the pictures do the talking.

Featured {The Sweetest Occasion}

Today, we were lucky enough to have our NYE Gold Rush party featured on one of my favorite event blogs, The Sweetest Occasion. We are super pumped about it since TSO consistently features amazing party and wedding inspiration. What a great start to 2012! Check it out here.

Bird Dog Wedding planned and designed this party along with The Creative Parasol. Paige Newton Photography snapped the pics. We will be posting the event in full later this week!

{Happy 2012}

Happy New Year, everyone!!! I think 2012 is going to be an amazing year. Bird Dog Wedding is planning all sorts of fun projects and events this year and I cannot wait to keep you all posted on what we're doing! Also, we look forward to continuing to support local Austin vendors in their creative pursuit of wedding magic here on the blog!

To start the year off, here is a sneak peek of a New Year's Midnight Gold Rush I co-designed with The Creative Parasol. Paige Newton Photography snapped some pictures for us, which I'll be sharing in full soon!

Cheers!
