Workin' It {TEHA 2012}

Hey, all! I wanted to give you a little taste of the tablescape and other materials I designed for the Texas Belles Texas Event and Hospitality Affair (TEHA) in March at one of our favorite venues, Mercury Hall. The Texas Belles, University of Texas at Austin's event planning organization, select their favorite industry folks to participate in TEHA so we were quite honored to be asked!

We love to collaborate with all the talented vendors in Austin so we brought on a few of friends to carry out our design vision - including Loot Vintage Rentals, Rosehip Flora, and The Creative Parasol.

I hope you enjoy our space as much as we did!

We got there early to set up!

Our finished tablescape included precious table and chairs from Loot Vintage Rentals and Bird Dog Wedding Bunting we made:

So everyone could see a little more what Bird Dog Wedding is all about, I created a real-life "pinboard" of my design work. Also had biz cards from my team of vendors and paper fans as favors for those attending.

And there you have it!

We had so much fun putting this design together for TEHA. It was very much Bird Dog Wedding meets Mercury Hall - rustic and whimsical and colorful - all at the same time. Hurray!

Coming Soon...(!!!)

I'm so thrilled to show off my splash page - designed by my uber-talented friend, Lauren of The Creative Parasol! When she first showed it to me, I teared up a bit because it was a reminder that my dream of owning an event design and planning company was actually coming true, as silly as that sounds. It's all happening! 

Stay tuned for more branding and design fun for Bird Dog Wedding!

We worked hard pulling all the bits and pieces together for this shoot, and had a blast along the way. We're pretty pleased with the end result thanks to our team (see end of post).

Party {Bread and Circus Supper Club}

Mariah at Palm Door in Austin invited me to help out with the decor for their Seven Deadly Sins dinner for the Bread and Circus Supper Club, a monthly pop-up restaurant that features a seasonal, locally-sourced menu. It was tons of fun and I even saw my first burlesque performance!
