Black Crow Studios

We are super excited that a really hip design genius has chosen White Taffeta as her go to for her 2011 wedding.  Tracy is the owner of Black Crow Studiosin Los Angeles, CA.  Tracy is an amazing designer with great ideas on how you can get inspired as well.  Check out her web page, and her blog to see what I am talking about.  She has bold style and a totally different view on weddings than most brides. 


We spent a few days in Austin helping her scope out which location really fit into her style.  As of now, we have it down to 2 different locations, Laguna Gloria at the Austin Museum of Art, or Lakeway Resort.  Both locations would have a 3 day extravaganza and we can't wait to see which one she and her fiance pick.  Until they make the choice, here are some pictures to see what it has narrowed down to!
First off we have Lakeway Resort:

Now we have Laguna Gloria:

Tough choice, right????
Happy Planning!

Photos of a lifetime

When the day is over and the vows have been said, what is left to remember all the details of your day?  Your photos.

Here at White Taffeta we can not stress the importance of an amazing photographer that you are not only comfortable with, but one that does truly exceptional work. 

We have a great relationship with a Houston based photographer, Roy Image Photography.  They are a husband and wife team that capture your event with breathtaking results.  Roy has an eye for not only great shots that you expect, but also photos you would have never even thought about.  He is great to work with, and is not one of the photographers that are constantly in your way, or distract from the day itself.

We do not require you work with Roy if you choose us to assist you, however we do have a personal relationship with him so that we can help you to communicate your ideas to him.

Now, here are some bridal shots to let Roy's work speak for itself.




Happy Planning!

Where do we go from here?

Now join hands, and with your hands your hearts.

- William Shakespeare
 
He asked, you said yes, now where do we go from here? 
 
At White Taffeta it is our job to help you every step of the way.  There are many, many things that go into a wedding and that is why having a consultant (or team) on your side with experience is important.  However, in those first few exciting days, here are some things to get you jump started:
 
Choose your Wedding Date (or at least month/season).


Factors to consider:
 Time of year, including holidays, vacations & school
 Reception location and availability
 Church/Synagogue availability & proximity to reception
 Time needed to plan the wedding
 Start a Wedding File. Keep your wedding documents, ideas, fabric samples and contracts all in one place!

Set your Style.

It’s a day you have planned for a long time. Remember, it’s your day and there are no wrong answers.

Factors to consider:

 What is your lifestyle? Are you an outdoorsy person?
 Do you prefer formal, semiformal or casual? Long dresses indoors or no shoes on the beach?

Announce your Engagement.

It is completely optional but you may wish to consider putting an announcement of your engagement in your local paper. It’s a great keepsake.

Decide on a Wedding Budget.

Factors to consider:

 Do not spend beyond your means. Remember that it doesn't have to cost a fortune to be your dream day.
 Determine your spending limit ahead of time.
 Include any funds, if any, your family is providing in this budget.

Talk to your Wedding Consultant.

It is our goal to ease the stresses of event planning. Weddings are particularly complex because they are more intensely emotional than most events. Let us help you get started!

Happy Planning!
