Angels for EOS Par-Tee for a Cure and Golf Tournament

This past weekend we had the pleasure of being a part of the Angels for EOS Par-Tee for a Cure and Golf Tournament. Amy, one of the two mom's who founded Angels for EOS, found us in the CRAVE Dallas book and approached us in April to help her plan the Par-Tee at Marie Gabrielle. We were immediately touched by Amy and Cindy's stories, their passion for helping find a cure for their sons and for many other people with Eosinophilic disorders. We were on board from the moment we met with them, and were so excited to have fun planning this Par-Tee as well as help an amazing cause! 


Amy came to us already knowing that she wanted the gala event to be "summer chic". Which we immediately loved! We decided on a clean, crisp, summery color palette of green and white with silver accents. We had a blast picking out linens and rentals (a fun funky lounge was a must), meeting with florist Deitra Butler of Lush Couture Floral and with lighting pros Jennifer Burns and Robert Winter from Beyond, tasting gelato and sorbet from Paciguo and popcorn flavors from Uptown Popcorn, to name just a few of the fun things we did planning this event. Here are some "sneak peak" photos from the Par-Tee, taken on our iPhones. We can't wait to see, and share with you, the photos from Greg Blomberg and video by ProEdit Productions. Stay tuned!

                        

                                                        Love this lounge we created!

The day after the Par-Tee, Angels for EOS hosted a golf tournament at Tour 18 in Flower Mound. We had a blast "riding along", putting a few times, enjoying the gorgeous (but hot) day, and helping raise money for this fabulous cause. Here are a few of our iPhone photos from the golf tourney.

French Bohemian Wedding

We love this French bohemian wedding, and it’s beyond inspiring. The outdoor venue was perfect for catching the beauty of the sun for their pictures, and the stunning mature oak tree as their ceremony backdrop. Going along with the theme of their wedding, the bride chose natural décor for the centerpieces and carried a dried lavender bridal bouquet. This bohemian bride also wore a gorgeous floral headpiece that matched perfectly with her dress and her wedding style. To create a French bohemian wedding of your own, play off some of the ideas that this creative bride came up with. Some of our tips to create a French bohemian styled wedding such as this include; your hair style can go a long way for creating your wedding look by wearing it down and flowing to create the perfect natural look for your wedding day. Include decor with French writing, French style iron chairs, choose a wedding dress that is lacy, flowy, floral, has cinched areas, or all of the above. We hope this has sparked some inspiration and will help you plan for your fabulous French bohemian themed wedding.

Modern Royal Inspiration

In honor of the new Duke and Duchess we’ve created a royal inspiration board to help you have a royally inspired wedding of your very own. William and Kate’s wedding was extremely formal so we’ve created a board that is more modern and a bit less formal, but still classy. Inexpensive touches like a feathery hair piece for your bridesmaids or wearing knit gloves are things that will do wonders in creating that royal and elegant feel for your wedding. A little more expensive but definitely worth it would be using a more formal type of chair for the reception. We love the Victorian style chairs pictured below. Used at the dinner tables rather than just chair treatments, it’s an excellent way to make your wedding more upscale. William and Kate’s wedding ceremony within Westminster Abbey incorporated a lot of red, though we’ve chosen to do our royal wedding board with a simple grey, white, and an ashy blue. We think these toned down colors definitely create sophistication and a touch of formality, and that’s what a royally inspired wedding is all about.
