Clearly Classy Events is jumping into the holiday spirit a little differently this year with a gift to ourselves and our clients…

with the launching of our new webpage!

Thanks to Josiesque Designs, our webpage will be more beneficial to our clients in providing a list of our services, full profiles of our employees, and many more surprises.

Here is a sneak peak at our new logo design:

Don’t forget to like us on facebook so you will know when we go live!

In reality, I am currently sitting around waiting on some fabulous pictures from our most recent wedding so that I may have the privilege to blog about it. Til then it’s back to my dream Hollywood story…

Now, directors would find it difficult to label the genre of a Clearly Classy Events movie since each lady of our team is as unique as each of our weddings and events. You’ll find we have a Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Freida Pinto, Rose McGowan, Amy Adams, Vivian Vance and Lucille Ball. Now one or two, I based merely on looks, but mostly it was each personality: life of the party, belle of the ball, sexy starlet, a legend in one’s own time… Or to put it simply, we are a romantic/bollywood/action/adventure/comedy with a hint of western AND together, Clearly Classy Events is an Oscar winning sensation!

We’d like to take this time to “thank” our readers and get to know you, so please vote on your favorite wedding movie. Unlike my college exams, this is multiple choice and there are no right or wrong answers. However, I do have a personal favorite, can you guess?

“Why do you wanna marry me anyhow?” “So I can kiss you anytime I want.” (Josh Lucas… swoon!)

I can honestly say that is what happened today as I found myself working on a post for Clearly Classy Event‘s sweet couple: Lauren and Lance. After countless moments of just staring at their wedding pictures by Phillip Glickman and reminiscing, I finally found a little musical inspiration in “Marry Me” by Train.

Disclaimer:  the two did not meet in a café.

However, Lauren did wear a gorgeous white gown from Serendipity Bridal, and Lance was one happy groom who wore out the words “I love you and you’re beautiful.”

Barton Creek Resort and Spa was the venue of choice for Lauren and Lance, and was, like always, a joy to work with. The guests were able to arrive with an overwhelming view of true Texas hill country.

Again, I am captured by not only the photographer’s eye for detail, but the design of the dress and the overwhelming support from family and friends on her big day. Take notice of the simplicity in the bouquet from Verbena Floral that is jaw-dropping and coordinated so well with Lauren’s dress!

Enough of my “look at this!”, “take notice!”, and “did you see?”
Here are a few pictures from the ceremony:

After the ceremony, it was time for friends, family, and fun!

Lauren and Lance were able to entertain guests and keep to party alive with a help from their fabulous vendors: ILD Lighting, BBJ Linen Store, ATX DJ, and of course, Maris Malone Calderon, whose art for makeup kept Lauren radiant throughout the entire night!

I would like to again give a big thank you again to Phillip Glickman Photography as well as all the other vendors mentioned and some that were not mentioned but had a great impact on the success of this wedding: Hyde Park Strings, Mike Rinehart, Richie Schalin with Ovation Media, and Samantha Denby.

Lauren and Lance,
we wish you all the best and hope that you will continue to be happy by each other’s side.
Love, Clearly Classy Events

Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is a Hispanic holiday. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.

How cute, right?

Well, my little light bulb went off and it got me thinking,
“What about a fall bucket list for central Texas brides? Don’t mind if I do!”

Here are a few creative ideas for fall that I hope you will find just as fun.

 Pumpkin carving and cold drinks? Epic Success

Still can’t think of a gift for guest? How about S’more love?

Cheer on a Big 12 team

Sorry, no bonfire this year with the burn ban

Count your blessing and don’t forget to sample every holiday drink at Starbucks, I know I will!

Happy Fall Planning from Clearly Classy!

The old saying has never been truer than with Clearly Classy Event’s most recent bride and groom, Jenna and Blaine. The “something old” certainly came to life with the small, touches and details from this couple. If you refer back to my post on June 8th, Wedding from Scratch, then you will read about how the land used to make this gorgeous occasion is actually a farm that belongs to Blaine’s family.

As to not have any guests lost on their way, the couple included a map on the invitations, printed on thin slices of wood these invitations were absolutely gorgeous…

and everyone was welcomed upon arriving by the farm itself.

To start off the wedding festivities, guests were asked to sign in using what had to be the most adorable pens that truly showed the simple detail that was put into everything.

While in the meantime, the bride was proudly getting ready, showing off her stunning flowers and the ring that would take her from a beautiful bride to a wonderful wife.

The scenery helped captivate the moment between the couple.

But nothing was more captivating, than the expression of pure joy on Jenna and Blaine’s faces as they start their journey together as one…

The bride’s dress is another fine example of “something old” becoming “something new.” It was her mother’s dress that she used along with other wedding pieces to create this masterpiece. But Jenna did turn a twist on tradition when she wore sneakers instead of heels…

After pictures were taken between the newlyweds, they joined their guests for great food, fun, and company…

The happy couple was sent away into the night all smiles and with that…

We love you, Jenna and Blaine, and many wishes!

And seamlessly it was.  From start to finish, this day was like a dream.  With all of the best handpicked professionals in place and a very organized Bride, Maid of Honor and Mother of the Bride, things were certain to go off without a hitch, or with one hitch actually.

The Official Hitch was made at the beautiful Rough Hollow Yacht Club.  Set on Lake Travis in the midst of some of the most fabulous views!

One of my favorite designers, Amy at Merveille Events was in charge of all of the gorgeous flowers.  For the ceremony the bride wanted light and airy garden colors, hydrangeas, hydrangeas, hydrangeas.  You will see them throughout, but she asked for touches of green tropical leaves and ranunculus, as you will see it they turned out stunning.  Purple was the color, but soft early and bold later….

You can see the arch here….

I just thought these bridesmaid dresses were adorable…

Her hair flowers…

The Groom even had stylish flowers….

The ceremony was absolutely gorgeous, with the two cultures melding together perfectly…A string Quartet played in the background as she and her father walked down the aisle.

There were several things from the Indian culture included in the ceremony….

She wore a Henna Tattoo

The sacred fire was lit.

The guests were dressed according to tradition.

And wedding garland was draped around their neck as part of the ceremony.

The programs went with the theme…

Once the ceremony was over the guests threw rose petals as the Bride and Groom exited to a 1937 Cadillac….

Here are a few fantastic pictures…

After everything was wrapped up the Bride and Groom made their Grand Entrance to the reception, it was held in the Governor’s Ballroom at Barton Creek Resort and Spa

Again, Mervielle brought the Bride and Groom’s vision to life with the most vibrant and stunning room… Lighting was splashed on the walls by Illios Lighting, draping was hung by Strong Events.  The room was absolutely gorgeous.  Banana leaves were used as place mats and the couple’s favorite salsa was given as favors…Check these out….

Sauce the Band rocked the room all night long!  And this crowd was not afraid to boogie!!

Once it was all over and it was time to go, the guests sent them off to live happily ever after!  We love you Aman and Claire, Love, Clearly Classy

So this weekend we will be executing a wedding from scratch.  Electricity, bathrooms, water, lighting, tables, chairs, food…you name it we are bringing it in.  I even needed to rent golf carts to get the guests from the parking area to the ceremony site.  I have a couple of pictures to share with you of the space in the winter…I can’t wait to share the end result with you it is going to be so beautiful.

I know these pictures don’t say a whole bunch now, but just get ready for what we are about to do with this space!  Especially at night!
