A wedding at Balcones Springs Retreat
April 4, 2009
Oh, if we could work at this venue every week it would be such a carefree existence. Courtney and her staff are the most gracious and hospitable crew to work with. This is our second wedding out there and both experiences have been equally impressionable. The bride and family were at ease throughout the day under their care. I worked with Katherine and her mother on the fine details of the decor. Katherine wanted a casually elegant atmosphere with pale tones for the ceremony and brighter, fun tones for the evening reception. We used beautiful "in season" flowers like...sweet peas, hydrangea, antique green hydrangea, hot pink "Yves Piaget" David Austen garden roses, sweet smelling stock, freesia, cymbidium orchids, rannunculus (grown at our farm,organically), football mums, tuberose, pale blue tweedia and I'm sure one or too more gorgeous flowers! The bride was so easy to please and trusted our studio completely to create a complimentary feel to the laid back setting at Balcones.
Congratulations Katherine and Justin!
Melanie and Last Petal staff
