Taylor is just one of those stunning souls and dream brides! If there was ever a wedding that a couple fully embraced themselves and their passions, it was Taylor & Derek’s Wedding! From her jaw-dropping @ruedeseinebridal dress from @thedresstheorynashville, to her gorgeous booties to allow her to galavant in the fields surrounding @prospecthousetx for an intimate first look & private vows, the colorful candlestick garlands, hand-dyed napkins, home-brew “grooms cake” and so much more!! Their wedding was iconic, and an honor to design & plan alongside them! • • Photography & DJ || @centurytreeproductions Bride || @taylor_made_style Planning + Design || @epochcoevents HMUA || @lolabeautyatx Floral design || @studiotersilla Venue || @prospecthousetx Dessert || @sweettreetsbakery
I remember when I first started doing deconstructions I was soooo nervous!! I didn’t want people hovering over me and I really took my time with them. I am so grateful to photographers like @ten23photography & @centurytreeproductions who truly helped create alongside me. Looking in their camera to see if there were any empty spaces, making sure it all looked just right through the lenses. Being able to get together the next day after a wedding or design and create another level of magic together is such an amazing vendor relationship to have. Thankful for our friendors in this industry who have helped us grow along the way, supported us, loved on us, encouraged us to be bold and think outside of the box. To create art like these deconstructions...y’all are truly inspiring and I’m grateful to call y’all friends. • • Photography || @ten23photography Floral || @urbanrubbishweddings Venue || @thegin_hidalgofalls Planning + Styling || @epochcoevents Featured on @theperfectpalette
Florals are a magnificent way of defining your color palette, style and vibe. Hire a florist that has a style you jive with for an exceptional experience. Also TRUST your florist or any vendor. Be candid with your budget, and what you hope to obtain, what your expectations are. Don’t let sticker shock run you off if you didn’t present a budget to them or if your list of “wants” didn’t align with a realistic budget. Sticker shock and ghosting a vendor is just poor manners. 😉😉😉 Talk to your florist and other vendors. Be real with us all on your budgets. Every client is on a budget, but that budget for some could be $1000, another could be $50,000 (yes, for just florals, or any one category). Allow the professional to help gently educate and guide you on suggestions that could work within your budget. This may mean swapping out those peonies for roses, or any number of alterations to the design. We know you don’t plan weddings for a living, we understand there’s a huge gap in knowledge for what you see and what you get. Allow us to guide you in this process.

Friday Introductions! Venice! ✨Venice & Rome are some of my favorite cities! We had a lot of people misinform us about our adventures in Venice, example: it would be the most expensive city we would visit. ✨Venice was the cheapest!! We tried to stay off the main pathways & venture off the path. This lead us to some of the most amazing places locals visit. ✨We found a place that essentially had Italian tapas & mini-glasses of house wine. Based on all our adventures through 6 cities in Italy, we took bets on how big our bill would be at the end. We were thinking $80 after how much wine we drank, and the food was so. Damn. Good! Our bill? $25!!!! The glasses of wine? $0.05/each!!! A nickel! We went back to this little hole in the wall every single day for lunch or dinner. ✨It also happened to be their highest flood they ever had while we were there. ✨I remember the roads were confusing. And trying to remember our way back to the hotel that first day was rough. Then these alarms started sounding, it was getting dark, & cold, & that’s when we learned we had roughly 1 hour to make it back before we’d be knee deep in water!! We hadn’t figured out our way back before the walkways were all becoming submerged & I was almost in tears. I laugh looking back now because it was an out of this world experience. ✨We stayed at the Aqua Palace, one of the few places that had been able to prevent flooding inside their building. They loaned us rain boots to go walking in the flood waters, and all of sudden, everything that seemed so frightening earlier was surreal and somewhat mesmerizing. This town deals with this, day after day during certain times of year. ✨The next morning, shop owners were sucking the remaining water out, mopping floors & putting merchandise & displays back on the floor. ✨This plaza? Where the tables are, there were elevated walkways! They created these strategic pathways for everyone to still navigate the cities despite the rising waters. ✨I can’t fully explain how marvelous this city is, but it’s one I hope to visit again in the next 5 years. It was absolutely stunning!!! ✨I’ll add some more candid photos of us in the stories later today 🤓
