TBS Vendor Spotlight: Snapshot Photo Booth

If you are planning a wedding and haven't considered having a photo booth at your reception, you should think again. TBS brides have used photo booths a TON this year, and it ALWAYS is a huge hit. Whether it's a DIY photo booth or a photo booth company like Snapshots, your guests will love it ... and be entertained!

Here is my wonderful staff and I at the Skoza/Brakenridge Wedding a couple of weeks ago... See, even your vendors have fun :)




Happy Planning!

Real Wedding: Krista & Phillip

Take a look at all the little details that went into this vintage-southern style wedding. Vintage brooch bouquets are a great way to personalize. And I love the intimate milk and cookies at mid-night.

Wedding Planning Tip: The Space

When you are planning your wedding, don't forget to plan the perfect place to get ready. In my experience, it's the best when you bring your vendors to you (hair & makeup). Make sure your comfortable, and the space is large enough to accomodate your group. You'll want to get ready in a place that has charm, but also has natural light. Make sure your photographer is available to capture these memories as well! Last but not least, find the perfect place to hang your dress. You'll want it out of the way, but also highlighted for all your attendants to see, it will make for some great pictures!

Inspiration: Glass

Every single wedding I am asked to plan, I always add glass. Sounds weird right? I'm not just talking about votive candles. Yes they are nice, an do love them on the tables, but I'm talking about making glass a focal point ... letting it stand out. It reflect light, adds color ... and makes for some great pictures!

Here are some of my favorite ways to incorporate glass ...

Find some old mason jars and use them any way you like ...



Check out these personalized no-stem wine glasses ... these are to die for!



And finally, aren't these old/reused light bulbs amazing ... who would have thought?




Happy Planning!

TBS Wedding: Erin & Cameron

Oh what a fun and memorable wedding it was! I have been blessed to have met Erin in the Deans Office over in CAFNR, and it was such a delight to meet up with her again for her wedding!

Currently, Erin and Cameron are living in OR, which made the planning process a little different than a couple who lives closer.

What made this wedding SO unique was the fact that Erin's family still lives in Columbia, and Erin thought it would be the perfect place to get married! She had the perfect vision of having the ceremony overlooking their lake, and their reception just a few feet away under a large white tent. And guess what? It happened!

Right before the ceremony was to begin, the rain clouds moved in and the wind picked up, but thank the Lord, it held until after the the I Do's! The reception was stunning in burnt oranges and plum purples, you couldn't help but love it! Although it rained .... A LOT .... everyone had a great time, and the company couldn't have been better!












Let me just say something about the husband and wife team that make up Avia Photography ... We love them! They are so fun have some great "out-of-the-box" ideas, like taking the bridal party to an old abandoned gas station! The pictures don't lie folks ... they are great at what they do! And they were brave enough to take on the weather like us! Thanks Avia!
