#SOMUCHPRETTY | BEST OF 2016

There is no question that 2016 was a year of explosive creativity and growth for our team. We were a part of 29 weddings and 3 editorial shoots. We moved into our first studio and started hosting workshops. 2016 was a whirlwind of so many new experiences and really figuring out how we can best serve the incredible people we are lucky enough to call clients.

And while, we're already looking a head and have kicked 2017 off with a very loud bang, we couldn't miss the opportunity to look back through our love-filled events of last year and share some of our most loved moments.

We hope you enjoy this peek into our year and we can't wait to share everything about the next.

All of our love,
Megan + Caitlin

WEDDING TRENDS | FOOD TRUCKS

Hiring a food truck is a fun, memorable and budget-friendly way to impress your guests. Apps, dinner, or a late-night-pick-me-up for your guests - food trucks can do it all! Donuts, ice cream or sliders all sound like the perfect midnight snack to us! 

The trucks can be selected to fit the couple's personality and wedding theme. Whether you are looking to provide your guests with hamburgers, pizza, cupcakes, or even greek food, we promise that there is a food truck out there that offers what you're looking for.

As if you need another reason to consider hiring a food truck for your wedding, most of the food trucks are absolutely adorable serving as the perfect backdrop for that Instagram worthy photo.

LESLIE + TYLER | THE WHITE SPARROW

Yay! It's #MarriedFaceMonday!

Today's feature is a real stunner! Leslie + Tyler made it official at The White Sparrow on October 15th. The white washed barn paired with these deep wine tones and lots of lush greenery was a dream come true!

Our favorite detail of the day was bride and her maids in that gorgeous saturated wine color paired with our soft, romantic blooms. We just can't get over how incredible they all look!

Of course, when we're working with the dream team of A Sea of Love & Bash Co., you just can't go wrong!

INSPIRATION | POPPING THE QUESTION TO YOUR MAIDS

It's engagement season and we're so freakin' excited for all the new brides and grooms out there! If you're in Dallas, come meet us at the Swoon Event on January 28th! We can talk floral designs, planning dilemmas, or just say hello! You can get your tickets here and hurry because they always sell out!

After a proposal from your fiancé, the most important question you will ever ask is, "Will you be my bridesmaid/man?" While you can go a more conservative approach and ask your squad all at once say over brunch, we believe in making every moment of your wedding experience magical. So let's pop some champagne and roll out the carpet, it's time to wow your gang.

If your friends are anything like mine, they won't turn down sweets. So tuck your proposal inside sugary confections like these hot pink fortune cookies or pie in a jar!

Get literal and pop the question using a balloon. Stash your secret question inside a balloon and blow your bridesmaids away!

If your friends would be sorted into Ravenclaw, try a puzzle or riddle for your proposal. Nothing says, "I'd love to stand next to you at the alter" quite like a completed 50 piece puzzle. You can even customize the puzzle to include a picture of you + your fiancee or you and the friend you are courting.

Go more traditional and create a custom package for your bridesmaids/groomsman. You can even use the items in the package to reveal your wedding theme, colors, or venue location.

For all the sassy maids [and men], you can't go wrong with these witty macaroons and cards! How will you ask your crew?

TOP 5 | ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Uh...hello, it's 2016 so that means it's totally normal for couples to go ring shopping together. I mean, it's YOUR finger and you'll be the one wearing it for life, right? But we also understand how romantic it is to be completely surprised with your fiancee's choice. Either way, ring shopping can be stressful and overwhelming for both of you with all the different options. Gold vs. Silver? Diamond vs. Gem? Simple vs. Glamorous? We're making it easy and listing the top 5 engagement rings out there! 

1. Classic
You can't ever go wrong with the simplicity of a clossic solitaire enegagment ring. This stunning luminous ring is from our very own bride, Jamie from Jamie + Blake!

2. Rose Gold
Stand aside rose gold iPhones, make way for this increasingly popular and lovely pink hue that will surely make your ring stand out among the crowd.

3. Opal
Are you on the hunt for an engagement ring with something other than a diamond? More and more couples are option out of diamond engagement rings and choosing opal instead. Not only is this precious gem a romantic and timeless beauty, it's also mesmerizing to look at.

4. Something Blue
While exploring your options outside of diamonds, one could easily fall head over heels in love with a Sapphire engagement ring. 

5. Halo
A halo engagement ring can change the look of the ring completely! A single halo can give you a simple yet romantic look or if you prefer, the double halo takes the ring to all new levels of dazzling.

So now that we've cut the overwhelming number of options down for you and provided you with a little inspiration, it's time to drop a hint! Screenshot your favorite photos from above and 'subtly' send it to your significant other.
