Looking Forward to the Austin Bridal Extravaganza...

Very soon, we will be exhibiting at our first wedding show--the Austin Bridal Extravaganza.  We hope you will come by and see us at our table.  We would love the opportunity to help you  find the perfect place for your big day.

In other news, flowers keep popping up all over, and we keep painting and landscaping!  Here are a couple of snaps of the most recent wildflowers.  The newly painted garden gate is almost finished and the fence is coming along.  Let us know if you would like to visit in person.  We can sit on the porch with a glass of sweet tea and talk a while.  :)

Find us on mywedding.com and the wildflowers keep popping up...

Things are moving right along.  We have just started advertising with mywedding.com, a wedding planning site.

We are excited, because very soon the mywedding.com site will have a special relationship with Martha Stewart Weddings.  Check out their wedding planning tools and idea boards.  Couples can build a website, find vendors geographically, get ideas for their perfect day, and more.

Now,  I promised more wildflowers, and indeed, more are popping up every day.  Rather than post new pictures all the time, I started a Pinterest Board, which I will keep updated as more varieties bloom.  Right now, we have Salvia still in full glory and it has been joined by Oxeye daisies, Coreopsis, Gailladia, and Queen Anne's Lace.  I cannot wait to see what blooms next!

More Trending Wedding Colors

Another trending color for weddings this year is sea foam green.  Although I would not suggest over using it, it is a beautiful color that signifies Spring, Beginnings, Freshness--so perfect for weddings!

Here is my Pinterest board with ideas for using sea foam.
Enjoy!

We have wildflowers!

Have you eve dreamed of being in a pasture surrounded by wildflowers?  Well, we can make your dream a reality here at the Manor.  Right now, the Salvia is in full bloom--it would look great with any wedding, but it does have a hint of periwinkle.  ;)

Trending Wedding Colors...

While Lee and I are working on getting everything ready for events at the Manor, I have also been reading wedding magazines.  Call it an occupational hazard--I am a librarian who owns a wedding business.

According to the Spring/Summer 2015 issue of The Knot, the trending colors for weddings right now are mint green, coral and periwinkle blue.  All of these have their proponents and all of them can be very pretty, but I must admit that even though green is my favorite color, I have always had a weakness for periwinkle.  It is such a happy color.  The problem with periwinkle is that it can be difficult to find flowers in that color, so you often have to go with complimentary colors or secondary colors, but if you are happy to do that, as I am, using the periwinkle won’t be a problem.  Here are some ideas for using periwinkle in your wedding:
