L+D : Vintage Speakeasy Inspired Wedding

Amazing photography by Laura and Eric Sartoris of Anthology Photography :-)

Today we celebrate our first anniversary as husband and wife!  I could not resist posting yours truly's own wedding, and sharing our "Vintage Speakeasy" themed wedding to inspire you.

At the risk of sounding cheesy, it was truly our "Best Day Ever".
We felt so much love and happiness all weekend, with both families together and friends all around. We wanted a comfortable relaxed setting for everyone to get to know each other through the long weekend, ending with one heck of a party... we got all of that and more.

I was so enamored by all things vintage, I wanted touches of it in every aspect of the decor, music, and dress.  Imagine a bit of a vintage glam, speakeasy inspired dress and decor.

My bridesmaids were utterly glamorous! They wore mismatched floor length black dresses with vintage jewelry, and the guys wore dark gray suits with vintage tweed vests. My dress was a simple tiered A-line, but my mom made a gorgeous sash in black velvet with old brooches, feathers and silk flowers.

We felt so much 'love' around us, that we used that as a central theme as well. In the end, it was a bit eclectic, much like my style, but completely perfect for us.

Enjoy our photos...I hope they inspire you to find your own style and run with it.

A Snowy day in Texas...well, we do not hear that too often! Especially in Austin, so we created it!
Working with amazing photographer Suzi Q Varin, Polkadots Cupcakes, and Stationary Bakery, we created a winter white feast for the eyes! Watch the sugar glimmer in the sun, just like light off snow.
These delectable delights look amazing on our Susanna white vintage table.
My favorites are the gold IKAT design on the cake, and the handmade signage for the table & "snow to
go" bags.! So stinkin' cute!


Thanks to Suzi, Olga, and Sara for creating such a fun day and fabulous table!

Beth & Paul - Engaged!!

We are so lucky to have our newest clients on board in the {Furbish} family...Beth and Paul. You have seriously never met a couple 'cute as pie', as their friends say. I took that quote directly from the amazing photographer Laurie Ruth, who captured this couple so beautifully. Just look at these engaement photos below!  The location is an abandoned Peanut Farm in Giddings, TX.

They have a Spring wedding planned, with the cutest vintage theme. Paul is into vintage hotrods, restoring old arcade games, and they are both like repurposing old things to make them unique. I cannot wait to share Beth's upcoming bridal shoot photos, and their vintage themed wedding in April !

The engagement :  Paul had quite an engagement planned and his plan was foiled not once, but three times, while trying to propose to Beth while on Holiday vacation.
He asked for her hand from Beth's grandmother, and when she approved, she helped him plan a romantic engagement on New Years Eve at an amazing frozen waterfall in Montreal. When they were not able to get to it, Paul switched gears and decided to have his proposal on the marquee at a local AHL Hockey Rink during the fireworks show. Beth and Paul love going to hockey and their first date was at a fireworks show, so he still had a sentimental plan for this sweet moment!

Unfortunately the arena would not allow him on the big screen to propose! So after being foiled a second time, he decided to use the fireworks show to create a firework moment of his own.
Beth was so busy taking pictures during the show, she didn't even notice him trying to ask. After all was said and done and people were starting to leave the stands,  Paul had his moment. After finally getting her attention, she looked down to find a hockey puck that said "Will you marry me?" and he was on one knee! It wasn't how he'd planned it, but he got a "yes" and created quite a memorable moment.
We are so excited to be a part of planning this couple's AMAZING day!

Congratulations Beth & Paul!

The Taylor is covered in a scrumptious charcoal gray velvet, and has tufting on both back and the seat. This one is a real looker in person!

We also added some new chairs! Welcome the Addison Chair duo, the Angela's, and the Henly Armchair.

Addison Duo chairs

The Angela's have been with me for more years than I can remember. It seems like I have always had them...and they are named after my dear friend Angela that has begged for them as long as I have know her :-)  The have a very tall ladder back in a vintage green paint, with gold finials on top. These are fun and unique garden chairs, and look great in a lounge area, or by themselves.
