Update: Deco at Dusk - Open House & Bridal Showcase

Last week I announced The Allan House's upcoming Open House & Bridal Showcase - Deco at Dusk, and today I am so thrilled to share the list of participating vendors.

Crave Catering will be here serving delicious appetizers and fine wine that you won't want to miss.   Some of the tastiest cakes in Austin will be served by Simon Lee Bakery. The talented Ava Arenella will be performing jazz music inside the house, and Look No Further Entertainment will be in the courtyard providing tunes. Gorgeous linens and rentals from Marquee and stunning florals from Verbena will set the mood for the Old Hollywood inspired evening.  Lighting throughout the house and courtyard provided by Ilios will add a breathtaking accent to the venue.  BZ Events, Inviting Affairs, Daniel C. Photography, and the Honeymoon Guru will all be here to mingle and share their expert advice. 

Admission to the bridal showcase is complementary, but RSVPs are appreciated. To do so please email intern@allanhouse.com.

Bridal Bash

The Allan House's most recent open house was a blast! Thanks to all those who came out and enjoyed drinks, appetizers, mingling with our preferred vendors, and rockin' out with LC Rocks!

Illios Lighting provided the pink and purple uplighting on the outside columns, as well as the stars inside The Allan House.

The colorful linens chosen were purple dupioni and fuschia, as well as pewter satin and sparkle toppers, all of which were provided by Marquee Rents.

 Verbena Floral Designs provided the lush florals for the event.

 Cantina Laredo was on site with delicious appetizers.

The Cupcake Bar treated each guest to their own personal cupcake!

To tie the theme and decorations all together was LC Rocks. They entertained fans showcasing both their dinner music and their classic 80's rock and roll we all know them by. Guests had a blast dancing and singing along with the band!

Other vendors in attendance were A+ Student Staffing, Inviting Affairs, BoothBooth, and Simon Lee Bakery.

Earth Day Fête Inspiration

Check out this fabulous inspiration board for our April 21st Spring Open House & Bridal Showcase: Earth Day Fête. After choosing the color palette for the event I decided to create an inspiration board to get a feel for the type of atmosphere I wanted to create.

Fortunately while perusing the web, I came across Dessy's inspiration board creator. The Dessy Group has partnered with Pantone to provide an easy way for brides to be to make their vision come to life.

With  Pantone Wedding you can design inspiration boards that show off your favorite colors, styles, accessories and inspirational photos. After you create your inspiration board you can share it with your wedding party and vendors via email or post it on your wedding blog or website.
