Activity for Halie

Hi there! Flowers aren't on my priority list for our wedding. I want a wild flower design style and certain colors, but other than that - artificial or real doesn't bother me. My best friend used sola wood flowers for her bouquet. It was gorgeous and...

My fiancé and I have already planned a small guest list for our wedding. I’m hoping that is to our advantage in the upcoming year. We have discussed it with our venue, the owner isn’t charging any transfer date fees in the event we can’t host our...

My FH and I were discussing wedding dress code so we know the wording to add to our invitations. (We have a lot of random and out of order conversations about our wedding.) Anyway - We don’t want guests to wear casual clothes. We would prefer suits,...

One of the looks I really like so far is garland and candles. Does a florist create the garland? Are garlands typically real or artificial? Advice from brides who used garland in their decor appreciated. The looks I’m after....

How involved are your parents and future in laws? We are paying for our wedding ourselves. Our venue covers 95% of wedding planning. Did you invite your parents and in laws to certain things? If so, what?

Now that we have our venue, it feels real! We are in the process of picking the package we want to use. There is a complimentary $1,500 to $3,000 open bar tab for all guests depending on which package you choose. We will most likely be...

We were stuck between two venues yesterday. We toured both together and FELL IN LOVE with Avant Garden. So much so we are expanding our guest list and increasing our budget to include everything we want! We looked at each other and said - THIS IS...

How many cake and punch receptions have you attended? Is it common? We are considering a cake and punch reception between 2p-4pm. We would let guests know ahead of time on the invitations that it is a cake and punch reception. Cake and punch...

So... for the past couple of weeks I have had it in my head that we are getting married at Houston Arboretum. I have been talking with wedding planners because I know I’ll need help as it is a blank canvas so it say. I realized last night for...

My best friend is getting married in a few days. I’m really struggling writing a speech. Do any of you have advice? I definitely don’t want to wing it!

Hey everyone, My fiancé and I are trying to have a sustainable and eco-friendly wedding. We have discussed using e-vites or plantable invitations since our guest list is very small. Our guest list is made up of immediate family and close friends so I...

How did you choose your hair and make-up artist? How far in advance did you book? We are getting married December 2021.

My wedding planner introduced me to the idea of a sustainable wedding. I thought it would be fun to ask: How are you creating a sustainable and eco-friendly wedding?

This is an update to a previous post. My fiancé and I have chosen Houston Arboretum for our venue. The event manager got back with us and we were able to chat on the phone! The pricing is excellent and she offered a cake/punch reception option so we...

My fiancé and I are hosting a small wedding ceremony and cake/punch reception. We are most likely going to rent a couple of tables for the cake, drinks, and small food bites. Who sets this up at the venue? Who sets up our cake/food? Our short event...

Hey there, I am searching for a contemporary violinist or trio to play at our wedding ceremony and cake/punch reception. Do any of you have any recommendations? I'm looking for someone who has a Lindsey Sterling vibe. There are just so many musicians...
