Dinner and party guests enjoyed delicious food from Palmers Catering and cake from Pennington Cakes.  With everything pink, it wasn’t hard to miss all the details that went into making the night fabulous!  Fun VIP passes, party favors, and pictures were everywhere!

The night really took off when Altared Wedding DJ’s got everyone on the dance floor, including a special choreographed performance from Victoria and her friends.  Victoria let loose with a wardrobe change into a more dance-friendly number! The birthday girl was surrounded by her closest girlfriends all night, decked out in colorful matching dresses!

Happy 16th Birthday to Victoria from Clearly Classy Events!

The breathtaking decor was provided by Whim Party Rentals and Ilios Lighting, which set the mood for some Holiday spirit!

 As guests began to arrive, Shrimp Corn Dogs and Apricot Brie Puffs and other tasty teasers were passed by Crave Catering.  The delicious food didn’t kept coming!!  The guests were treated to a gorgeous steak dinner and a full chocolate fondue dessert station to top off the menu.

Hissey Kientz, LLP didn’t stop there!  The night was made extra special with personal cigar rolling by Bobalu Cigar Co. Each guest also had a chance to win a trip to Los Angeles, California if they could make the best gingerbread cookie resembling a co-worker or the ugliest Christmas sweater!

Part of the entertainment was an ice luge sculpted by Full Spectrum Ice, this thing was a hit!!!

We look forward to working with Hissey Kientz, LLP on their fabulous events in the future! Photography was done by Jeff Loftin, one of our absolute favorite people to work with!

The ceremony was held at the Mission San Jose Chapel in San Antonio.  Such a stunning historic church with a ton of character and a story.

The couple currently lives in Houston, Texas so there were challenges to planning from afar.  But no detail was left untouched. The bride looked stunning in a mermaid style dress. She was accompanied by a lovely wedding party, many of which traveled thousands of miles to be by her side.  What a testament to her friendships.

This couple was very traditional in their religion and a full Catholic Mass was the only option.

Her colors were raspberry, cream and gold and it couldn’t have come together more beautifully.  The guests wore a wide array of colors making all of the pictures vibrant and fun.  The flowers and lighting were all done by Pizzini Designs.

After the ceremony the guests were shuttled to the rustic Sandy Oaks Ranch in Devine, Texas.

Lighting and drapes were added to the room for a more dramatic effect….and the flowers just turned out gorgeous!

The cake were done by Cakes by Cathy Young, such sweet detail.

We had so much fun, planning the tiniest of details for this reception…..Absolutely Delicious was responsible for the delectable and diverse menu.

It didn’t take long for the part to kick off full steam with the help of 1PartyDJ!

The bride made a quick wardrobe change and then right back to the party!

It was bittersweet to see this one end…but what a gorgeous exit!

Love, love, love Gloria and Torsten…we wish them the best!

The details were planned down to the cute snacks, decorations, and tours around the firehouse. After learning about emergency vehicles, firefighting gear, and other firehouse fun, the party moved into a private room where food and cake was shared by all! Little “A” and his friends were wide-eyed and smiling the whole day, making our job easy and fun!

Happy Birthday Little “A”! We hope to make your next birthday and many more to come this fun and creative!

Jason and Rachael Mark were married at Hideout on the Horseshoe with photography by Nadine Photography.

Rachael and Jason seemed so relaxed from the rehearsal Friday night to the day-of preparations before the wedding.  They were surrounded by a great group that were determined to make the weekend memorable and show support for an inspiring love.  Rachael’s infectious smile and Jason’s calm nature helped create one of the most memorable moments in their lives together.

 Rachael was surrounded by a fantastic group of ladies from start to finish.  The beautiful bride and her gals in gray had their make-up done by Kristin Chase and their hair by Holly Kottwitz.

 Jason had his fair share of fun guys surrounding him, too! They got the weekend off to a fun start at the rehearsal dinner with their jokes and laughter and didn’t disappoint on the dance floor the next night!

The Hideout pavillion provided a perfect backdrop for an evening full of good food, drinks, and entertainment.  Chocolate chip cookies and hand-written table numbers were just some of the personal and unique touches the Marks included for their guests.  Catering was provided by Fritz’s Catering.

As the evening festivities got under way, DJ Coleen Yantis provided the tunes for the newlywed’s first dance and the unforgettable father-daughter dance.

With such a fun group of people, the photobooth provided by VotoBooth was busy all night as the bartenders were kept busy.  Jason and Rachael were surrounded with such great people every where we turned…making our job fun and easy!

We are so honored to be have been a part of The Mark’s special day and and we hope they had as much fun as we did.  The Hideout on the Horseshoe is an incredible place to tie the knot and we feel lucky to be a part of the party!

Wedding

Clearly Classy Events

For this wedding the bride that works in the industry wanted to truly integrate touches that were uniquely hers.  When you see so much of the same thing these days she knew that it would be in the details that would make her wedding stand out!

On a personal note this bride and her family were probably one of our favorites to work with!  So much fun, always laughing and having a wonderful time.  This group really knew how to throw a party and entertain people!  The wedding was held at The Villa on Lake Georgetown and the beautiful pictures were provided by Rebel with a Camera.

Her cascading dress was draped and waiting….

Something blue….

The bride struck a pose in the gorgeous courtyard of the Villa.

The boys were looking very dapper in their black and white wingtips.

Black and White were her colors and she used them very elegantly…..

These very simple but elegant flowers were less of expensive because of the type of flowers and how they were so creatively used.

The Programs…

The entrance to the reception was a gorgeous ice sculpture created by

Full Spectrum Ice

The bouquet made from many brooches…

Some were sentimental, some were just fun

ones that she came across, all gorgeous!

Sparkles, black, white and don’t forget heavy!!

Notice the beautiful clutch purses instead of bouquets!  Such a cute idea!

The lighting created a romantic

ambiance in the room…

For the exit they rocked it out with glow sticks!  Everyone loved this, adults and kids alike!!

We love you Falon and Tony and we wish you the best of luck!!

  Upon entering the Barton Creek Resort Pavilion, guests were greeted with a bright and vibrant scene of festive colors and an exciting contemporary ambiance.

The hors d’oeuvres were as intelligent and creative as they were delicious.  Cocktails with titles  like “the blushing bride” fit the theme well, especially served across an ice bar sculpted with The Knot logo and decorated with lights and citrus slices.  A custom mimosa bar allowed guests to express some creativity in their libations.                                                      Attendees continued to twirl through the night on the dance floor, and smiles were infectious in the prop-equipped photo booth.  Members from every corner of the industry shared insight and info over the appetizers and delicious dishes, which shared in the overall fun theme in the form of taco and quesadilla bars, build-you-own mac’n cheese bar, delicious sliders, and decadent desert bites of all kinds.     Vendors and industry professionals were free to network in a fun and social environment at an outstanding event that celebrated the extraordinary effort and pride they devote to the industry.  It was an event not to be missed!

Karen and Chris were wed in a beautiful ceremony at the Hideout on the Horseshoe in New Braunfels, TX. Gorgeous hill country riverine backdrops set the scene for the adorable couple’s perfect day.

Rustic and timeless elegance and charm were the order of the day, enveloping every aspect of the event. Beauty and simplicity were seamlessly joined.

The natural beauty of the surroundings at the Hideout on the Horseshoe highlighted the bride and groom’s playful personalities perfectly.

Tradition met contemporary flair with a cake and cupcake presentation, providing an assortment of delicious wedding bell delicacies.  The cake was adorned with the bride and groom’s initials, not unlike young lovers carving their declarations of romance into the trunk of an old oak tree.

The celebrations carried long into the evening, with youth and passion igniting the  reception and dance party.

Sparklers lit the air as the couple, joined in love and in name, made off into the night after a stunningly perfect evening.

Congratulations Karen and Chris!!!

Much thanks to our amazing vendors!

Wang describes the new line, entitled “Witchcraft”,  as “light, airy, concoctions of froth…mysterious and sexy, frivolous and fun.”  The new line consists of dramatic black and nude dresses, using traditional fabrics such as tulle, organza, satin, silk, deconstructed chiffon, and Chantilly lace. These are sure to leave a dramatic and stunning impression on your wedding day!

You can pair these dresses with enchanting bouquets such as dahlias and black roses to dark calla lilies and blood red roses.

More and more modern brides are opting out of the tradition of white on their wedding day, choosing to wear ivory, pastels and even red instead. This beautifully bold statement by Vera lets brides take a walk on the dark side.

Vera Wang’s new collection will be available in stores July 2012 and will sure to have some spellbound!
