Talina & J March 29, 2008


This busy couple came to me to plan their wedding and reception with plans on having it at their home but they had no idea how to pull it off. With only a few months to plan we dove in and pulled it all together.

Talina was a great bride allowing me to be creative and design her day without constraint. She shared with me her desire to have a private ceremony and a larger reception for the rest of the guests.

Their backyard was the perfect backdrop! The home has many mature oak trees that made a great canopy for hanging paper lanterns. There is a tree house that gave the DJ a Birdseye view of the party.
But the DJ was not the only music. We had our fabulous guitar duo play during the cocktail hour and then we moved in to dancing with the Oh So Good band.

The food was delicious as always! We placed the food stations strategically around the lawn that kept the guests mingling around.

Lounge furniture with bright pillows matched the overall look the bride was going for.
Weddings at a home are not always easy to pull off as you do not have many of the built in amenities but with the proper planning it can be a more intimate and memorable day. I think we achieved a perfect day from beginning to end.

Jamie & Manuel March 8, 2008


Jamie and Manuel planned there small intimate destination wedding in San Antonio at the beautiful Westin La Cantera Resort.
The view from the ceremony location was one reason so many fall in love with this venue. The French Connection photographer captured the day while our guitarist played the music as the bride walked down the aisle. The floral design we did for her was simplistic with a touch of color she requested. We were pleased to be apart of this day.

Whose Wedding is it Anyway? Krystal & Kevin February 23, 2008

We just flew back in from Dallas where I was filming for the seventh season of Whose Wedding is it Anyway?

The wedding was a huge success. I could not have been more pleased with the way their special day turned out. The couple Krystal and Kevin were such a pleasure to work with. Their unique day was filled with support from all of their close family and friends. Having their involvement made the day all that more memorable.

The new season of Whose Wedding is it Anyway? will be kicking off on Tuesday March 4, 2008. The premiere of my episode will be airing at some point in April. I will post again with the exact date!

Meghan & Robert March 1, 2008

Meghan and Robert planned their wedding from North Carolina. This busy couple chose to take advantage of our many services to help pull off their special day. The couple and several of their guests stayed downtown at the historic Fairmount Hotel.
This made getting to the ceremony very convenient. Meghan and her bridesmaids had their hair and makeup done by our team of artists that came to them at the hotel. The quaint ceremony was at the Little Church of La Villita with the reception following at the Fort Sam Golf Club.
We surprised the guests and transported them all to the reception using San Antonio Trolleys.
We think everyone really enjoyed themselves! The French Connection photographers were on hand to capture all of the moments of their day.
The couple also used The French Connection's DJ who got everyone out on the dance floor following dinner and cake. Meghan and Robert rode off into the night in a Rolls Royce while
The French Connection team finished off their day by handling all of the little details.

Ali & Grady February 29, 2008



We had such a fun time working with Ali, Grady and their family. Both Ali and Grady love to be different and when they learned this was a leap year they decided it was the perfect day for their wedding. The wedding was a big success. Getting emails such as these from our bride's make us love our work even more!
