Weekend Fun!

What a great weekend!
Kicked it off with Freddy and Jocelyn (read more about it in Val's blog!). Great time at the Spurs with them!
Saturday morning it was sup to Celebrations with Roque and her mother Francine, to try on dresses. Roque looked picture perfect in all them, and I think she may have found a winner.
I got to see Erica and Isaac, and I forgot to bring my camera!!:( Boo.... We actually had a floral appointment with Seeds of Love, where they selected their wedding flowers. I am so excited about the designs Erica chose. Then it was off to Elms Bake Shopp where they picked out there cakes! Erica ended her long day picking up her wedding gown from the salon. So much fun!
Sunday, Val and I headed up to Pipe Creek to check out a location for one of our newest b rides, Gretchen. (See the pics below in Val's blog.)
Welcome to the SAWEC family of brides, GRETCHEN, JESSICA, KARLA, and CHRISTINE!!! We look forward to working with you!!!
Tonight it's back up to the office to contract with Karla, which I am so happy about.
I am looking forward to seeing Audrie and Troy tomorrow, at Statue of Design, to finish up her floral order, and show her the linens we had shipped in for her to view. Love flowers and decor!!

Gretchen & Mitch

Teresa and I met with Gretchen and Mitch Sunday at her parents home and then at Mitch's ranch.
We met Sunday to scout out and nail down the ceremony location. There were so many beautiful areas. At her parents home and the ranch. Gretchen wants nature to be her back drop for her ceremony and the beautiful Texas sky to be her canopy.
It doesn't get much better than that. It was a perfect day for a Sunday drive. This picture of them was taken where they would love to say their vows. It was a little difficult to get to, but what a breathtaking view once we arrived.

A night on the town with Josilyn & Freddy





Teresa and I were treated to a night on the town with Freddy & Josilyn of "Seeds of Love"

Our night started out by being picked up in a limo and our hosts had already stocked it with our favorite cocktail. From there we headed down to the AT&T Center to see our San Antonio Spurs play the Rockets.
The ride down there seemed to go too quickly. Our host Freddy was very liberal with the cocktails. These 2 are one of the sweetest couples I have ever met and I really enjoyed getting to know them. We arrived at the game and we were escorted up to our suite. We did so much talking I am not even sure I saw a whole 5 minutes of the game. They were such a delight to be out with. We talked a lot of business, which I enjoy because you can always learn more. I love to see how other people in the industry view their role in a wedding. I can not wait to take my new brides to Seeds of Love, because just like their website says.....they are setting the new standard for customer service.

Taylor's honorary Bridesmaid...

You guessed it...ME!!!





We had so much fun at Bella Bridesmaid trying on dresses. None of Taylor's bridesmaids were able to make it and I took one for the team! It wasn't too hard...love shopping. I think we even found a winner. The purple dress in a deep blue will definitely be in the running.
