Fourth of July party inspiration

Last July we had the opportunity to plan Peter's 50th birthday celebration. I can't event imagine sharing your birthday with a national holiday like "The fourth of July",   kind of a  mixed bag ....you always get fire works for your birthday, but your family is always celebrating the holiday with the typical "holiday " festivities. Never the less, the red white and blue color palette is and unforgettable one. So this week as your on the count down to the " Fourth of July " here is a little  decor inspiration to celebrate the moment. 

We can't believe that we are officially on the count down to 2018.

Where did the time go ? We wanted to take a moment  to say thank you to all of the clients who trusted us with the details of their celebration.  And we also wanted to take a little time to look back over every Moment .....we apologize in advance, we are about to blast your feed. 

Galveston Event Planner celebrate's Pete's 50th birthday

                      

This weekend we celebrated Pete's 50th birthday a few days early. If you can't guess he is a fourth of July baby, growing up it had to be cool knowing that every birthday would be celebrated with fireworks. Eeeekkkk. A few of the sneak peeks have came in and we wanted to share a glimpse of the moment.

We are always excited to share sneak peeks from our clients engagement sessions. This one is no different A + A will exchange vows this fall on the grounds of The Sea Port Museum, and we can't wait to celebrate their moment.

Hey Girls and guys !  

D and F will tie the knot this spring on the stunning grounds of The Bryan Museum located on           Galveston island. D expressed that she loved the black and neutral color scheme with a pop of sparkle ( if you know me she's a girl after my own heart...if you don't I AM a lover of sparkly bobbles) After a bit of research I am totally inspired to create the look for their moment. Enjoy !

So you have the ring and now your looking for the perfect space , and this is list to get you off to a good start. Ready ....set ....let's go !

Ashton Villa  

Is a stunning mansion built in 1859, the space boast stunning hard wood floors, 

a beautiful stair case that is perfect for the newly weds entrance. I could go on and on about this space but I will spare you.  ( psss...just click the link to find out more be sure to tell Laura that I sent you) 

The Trolley Station 

We are getting to hit the streets of the historic strand district for this view. 

This gorgeous venue is just waiting to be filled with stunning details to compliment the exposed brick, glass and the view of the comings and goings of the island's night life. 

Hotel Galvez 

Now ....your are finally seeing what all the buzz is about on the island. 

Hotel Galvez is located beach side, with a lawn view that include the island's sandy shores, complete 

with the salty waves as the back drop. It's a stunner ! 

All of these spaces are unique in their own right, be sure to grab your favorite pair of sunnies, fill up the tank, get your cup of joe ( or sweet tea) and get here to see them for your self. 

Brunch wedding 101

This weekend our bride Y flew in from Oklahoma to plan the details of her spring nuptials to T.  One of our quick meals between meetings was over brunch at one of our favorite island eateries Farley Girls Cafe . She is self professed foodie, and as we grazed over mimosas she mentioned that brunch is always good, and immediately the light bulb went off "brunch wedding". So the past few days visions of a beach front brunch has danced my head and I thought it would be great to a few tips for  celebrating your moment.

Brunch : 

A meal that serves and both breakfast and lunch 

Tip #1 Consider the time that your want your festivities to begin.

Brunch is typically between 11:00 - 3:00pm, so your ceremony

start time should fall within this window.

Tip # 2 

Brunch can also save a few bucks in terms of your food budget 

( AND that NEVER hurt any one right ?) 

AND it strays away from the "expected" evening wedding start times 

That we LOVE !

Tip #3 

Think "dainty" when it comes to libations 

Mimosa's  - Bellini's- Punch (with a punch) - Bloody Mary's 

again .....budget saving ...WOOOO HOOO 

Tip #4 

Good eats 

interactive stations ...think waffles, omelets, maybe a beautifully designed fruit bar with granola 

and warm doughnuts as a parting gift 

What's NOT to LOVE here? 

Still need a little PUSH to plan your brunch wedding ....here is a little inspiration for your moment
