Why Is Texas Always Bigger and Better!?

We are suckers for anything and everything country! Not only are the men sexy, the music is good, and the food is delicious...but their parties are so much fun! Don't ya'll agree?

When Alexis and Mark approached us about throwing their going away party as they were moving to Texas, we jumped on the project and urged for a "Country Theme". They were excited and gave us general guidelines, then let us run with it. This event was such a fun project to work on.

Their backyard was out of a dream and their flexibility to trust our vision was freeing and just down right fun! We brought in cognac, blue, brown and orange color scheme. Rented vintage leather and country-inspired furniture really helped bring the whole look together. For food and drink we wanted to tie in San Diego and Texas, representing everything they have and will be. So we set up West-Eats-Meat "Ode to a Texas BBQ" and Fish-Meets-Field "California Farm to Table" stations...not to mention specialty cocktails!

For entertainment, guests never had a dull moment. Between the drinks :), a photo booth, live music, a ridiculous DJ, lounge areas and YES, a mechanical bull, people were in heaven! The party was a hit.  They did not disappoint any Texan out there, as they celebrated in style!

Kimberly and James Tie the Knot at Santa Luz Country Club!

Have you ever seen a bride smile SO much!? We have not! Kimberly may be one of the sweetest and happiest people we have ever met. The joy and emotion of the day was so evident in both of their faces! Kimberly and James got married on May 18th at the always stunning Santa Luz Country Club. The Club still stands to us as one of San Diego's best kept wedding secrets. The venue is absolutely breathtaking and provides so much value.

Kimberly wanted to tie in the rustic and shabby chic vibe she had always fallen in love with.  We had custom made signs from Something Promised that really added that special touch. Fun fact - Kimberly and James's parents both got married on May 18, so the 3 couples shared one really special day together. We made a sign collage that showed all the guests the special day connection.  The best part about it is they will deconstruct it and give the wooden pieces with the date and image to each parent as a gift.

It was a day filled with SO much laughter and joy. We are so thrilled for the two of them and wish them only the best. Thank you for letting us be a part of this stunning event!

Shoe Obsession!

I am shoe obsessed right now! The problem with being in a shoe phase is a few pairs can add up quick! Why do us women love shoes so much? I think it is because a good pair can take a plain and maybe even boring outfit to a "wow" outfit! Gotta love shoes!!
