Featured on Wedding Industry Experts!

Pin It Did you see it last week?  Dawn Earley, owner of Your Very Own Fairy Godmother Weddings & Events, was featured on Wedding Wednesday on Wedding Industry Experts.  Check out what she had to say about becoming a wedding planner, starting a business, overcoming obstacles, and some of her favorite wedding vendors in Austin!  (This is free information to questions she is asked all.the.time.)
And because blog posts without pictures are a little blah, here are some of the Austin Fairy Godmothers with some of their recent Wedding Industry Expert awards at the last Bliss Bridal Magazine Party (that the FG team coordinated.)

Fabulous FG Friday Cocktail: Raspberry Lemonade Cocktail

Pin It

We had the honor of throwing the Bliss Bridal Magazine Launch party at Posh Bridal Lounge one year ago today.  Happy birthday Bliss!  Deep Eddy Vodka provided this fabulous cocktail for the party, and we had all-but-forgotten about it until recently.  We decided it would be the perfect fit for the relaunch party for Posh Coworking yesterday!  It is only appropriate that we feature this Blissfully Posh Cocktail today.

If you choose to serve it in a Collins glass, you can pour the ingredients over ice and garnish with a lime wedge and fresh raspberry.  If you choose to serve it as a martini, shake the vodka and lemonade with ice, pour into the martini glass, add only a splash of club soda and squeeze of lime, and garnish with frozen raspberries.

Here we are at the Bliss Launch Party (with the very first issue of Bliss) last year at Posh Coworking Lounge with Connie, the Dessert Diva!  


Raspberry Lemonade Cocktail

1 part Deep Eddy Vodka
1.5 parts Raspberry Lemonade 
1 part Club Soda (only a splash or 1/4 part if making a martini)
Squeeze of lime 
The Kentucky Derby is also this weekend, so if you were expecting a Mint Julep recipe, here it is (from last year.)
Enjoy!

This Elf on the Shelf was caught reading the 2012 winter issue of Bliss Bridal Magazine for which the Fairy Godmothers did the cover photo shoot.  Who knew that there was an elf-sized version?!

Modern Winter Wonderland: Bliss Bridal Magazine Cover

Pin It Our team was asked to design a styled shoot for the winter 2012 front cover and cover spread for Bliss Bridal Magazine.  2nd Generation Video put together the video (below) of the behind the scenes process on the day of the photo shoot with Two Rings Photography at Texas Women's Federation Mansion.  There is a great deal of planning and coordination that goes into a shoot before the actual event, but watching us in meetings, on the phones, and shopping isn't exactly riveting. 
Thank you to the amazing vendors that made this all happen in a very short window of time on the day of the shoot!

Hamptons Styled Shoot

Pin It If you haven't seen the newest Bliss Bridal Magazine, then you're missing out.  There are so many ideas, real weddings, trends, and a few inspirational shoots to help you find your own unique style.  We will share the details of the shoot this week, but this video tells the story of a Fairy Godmother shoot on yet another unusually rainy Central Texas day.  The joke in our office is that more FG styled shoots may save Central Texas from another drought.
Thank you to all of the amazing vendors that made this shoot happen.  It was truly a 3 day event moving furniture to and from the Villa, and even good friends pitched in to help us pick up rentals and haul them all.  You'll see the photographer, Sam of Sunny16, carrying furniture in the video, because we were afraid of more rain, so we set up, did the shoot, and broke it down as quickly as possible.
