Ma Maison Grand Reveal!

The Hill Country is taking off, and isn’t looking back!  As I was driving down Bell Springs Road, I felt as if I were in some beautiful destination location looking for wedding venues.  Yes, I said it, The Hill Country is becoming the new “local” destination wedding location!  

Last Sunday was the day for Hill Country open houses/grand reveals!!  My first stop- Ma Maison!

Ma Maison is an absolutely breath-taking 10,000 square-foot event site, sitting on 23 beautiful acres!  Throughout the many different ceremony sites, I could not stop dreaming about The Green Cathedral- STUNNING!!  Ma Maison is a romantic French inspired venue that you are guaranteed to fall in love with!

Military Weddings

Are you the bride or groom of a military personnel?  Has the question come up about proper dress at the wedding?  Military attire at a wedding is something that becomes a personal and family matter.

On base you should look to the Military Chaplain and Base Protocol Officer for advice and to get the proper protocol based on the branch being represented.  This is also where a Certified Wedding Planner can also help out as they are trained on the different needs that come along with Military Weddings.  There are different uniforms (based on time, location), proper seating, invitation work, and traditions to follow.

Do still remember that bride and groom can decide how they would like the evening to feel.  Some couples opt for the two them to be in civilian clothes and attendants or guest can choose uniform.  Other couples prefer the uniform at the wedding and require it of their guest.

Antique Getaway Cars

There comes a point and time that you and yours are ready to go!  You may be jetting off on your honeymoon, ready to get out of your attire and relax, or head to the after-party!  Either way, how are you leaving the event?  Are you at a historic location, a swanky hotel in downtown, or a winery you and yours love?  Each location lends itself to a great getaway car.  And what better way to create that final design statement at your wedding than by the car that you and yours leave in!

Who wants to have a friend and his Honda Civic drive you both off after a wonderful and romantic night?  We won’t deny that limos are always going to be a classic and elegant way to roam around town the night of your wedding, but what if…

Is your location historic? Find the year it was built and find a car to match the era (Rolls Royce anyone?).

Maybe a distant family member had a car back in the day that is now one of the great classics, what a better way to honor or remember them.

For added bonus, use the car all night from arriving at the ceremony to leaving that night.

And for one more touch, did you consider Trolley’s for moving guest around town?

Here are a couple of favorites here in the Austin area for rentals and needs at your next event!  Better yet, we can take care of arranging all your needs.  Give us a shout!  How are you leaving your next event?
