E + K Ashton Villa Wedding Congratulations

It's the Moment that E + K have been waiting for ! So we wanted to take the time to say may your journey together bring your more joy than you can imagine. Now, lets get you two hitched !

A + M Married at Galveston Moody Mansion

I can't believe it's been a year since this intimate celebration. Can I be honest ? We love love weddings of all kinds, but those with guest counts under fifty feel soooooo different,  and A + M's moment was just that. Early on the couple decided on that their celebration would be intentionally intimate, inviting only 40 guest to celebrate their nuptials at the stunning Moody Mansion. They selected a warm color palette of champagne, gold, with hints of green. ( Not too much for the space)

The couple exchanged vows in the mansions grand foyer, surrounded by family and the rich architecture of the space. The evening closed with dinner and dancing, and smiling faces. 

PERFECT ! We wanted to take the time to say Happy anniversary, cheers to a hundred more !

It's Favorite thing friday with your Galveston wedding planner

As a planner I can tell you I have a list of FAVORITE things to celebrate your Moment . But today I wanted to share the beautiful lapel pins created by LAM & Co.   it's a stylish alternative to the traditional groom's boutonniere. The family behind the company began creating this look after seeing higher priced options, with a little creativity and sweat equity they developed this STYLISH brand of lapel pins (and shoe strings that coordinate ) that won't break your budget. I wanted to take a moment to share a few of our favorite looks from them. P.S. be sure to check them out , order a few to complete your look. Happy Friday !!!!!

Ingredients:

• Ingredients :
• 1 (1 liter/33.8 ounces) Key Lime Sparkling Water (I used 0 calorie)
• 1 (12 ounces) package frozen raspberries
• 1/4 cup superfine sugar
• 1 (12 ounces) Limeade frozen concentrate
• Lots of crushed ice
• Fresh limes, for serving

Directions:

1. Make sure the sparkling water has been chilled.
2. Combine the Key Lime Sparkling Water with the frozen raspberries, superfine sugar, and Limeade frozen concentrate in a very large blender.
3. If you don't have a large blender, you may have to do this drink in two separate blends or it most likely will spill out of your blender. 
4. Blend together until smooth.
5. If desired, rim your glasses with sugar by squeezing a lime around the rim and then dipping the glass in a bowl of superfine sugar (extra from the 1/4 cup called out for in the recipe)
6. Fill up the glass with crushed ice (either crushed superfine from a slushy machine or just regular crushed ice if desired) and then pour the drink into your glass.
7. Enjoy !

A Moment with your Galveston wedding planner K + R

K + R tied the knot in two ceremonies one traditionally Hindu, the other traditionally American. Over twelve months we planned the details of both. The professional images for their celebration have arrived, and we are excited to share a few of our favorites with you. ( I must confess that this was our first opportunity to plan a Hindu ceremony) We are SO happy that they selected Moments to collaborate with, so with out further delay ...........enjoy !

A Moment with your Galveston Wedding Planner ...a little inspiration for N + R

We are heels down planning the details behind the Moment for N + R's celebration on the island. They have selected a beautiful color palette of coral, deep blue with a pop of gold.

The look of the day changes over the planning process, and we can't wait to see the finished product , but until then here is a little inspiration.

It's Thursday and y'all know the drill, we Love sharing beautiful drink options for your Moment.Today we are sharing a beautiful spiked peach lemonade, it's the perfect thing to cool you off on a hot summers day.

Image via : Pinterest 

1 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1 cup sugar
6 cups sparkling water
1 1/2 cups vodka
1 cup water

in a small pot, combine the sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and simmer until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool completely.

Remove the skins from 2 of the peaches, reserving the third. Cut an "X" in the bottom of each one, and place them in a pot of boiling water for about 30 seconds. Transfer the peaches to an ice bath, and peel when cool enough to handle. Slice each peeled peach in half and remove the pits. Cut peaches into cubes, place them in the blender or food processor, and puree until liquified.

In a large pitcher, combine the pureed peaches, the cooled simple syrup, the sparkling water, the lemon juice and the vodka. Stir to combine. Add ice and stir again.

Cut the remaining peach into thin slices. Stir a few of the slices into the lemonade and use the others to garnish the glasses.

Enjoy !
