Wedding Wednesday: Houston, We Have a Party!

It's Wednesday and you know what that means--it's time to spotlight another wedding we have had the privilege to work on! This week we're featuring Nan and Zade Pollack of Nashville, Tennessee. They were married this past March in Houston, Texas. HH Design House created the beautiful invitations and programs used in the wedding.

The invitations were ecru cotton with a bevelled edge and slate grey thermography. The reception card was separate from the invitation, and the suit was completed with hand calligraphy -addressed envelopes by Hayley.

Simple and beautiful!


The bride wore classic silver heels with bows to add a sweet touch.

This belt was worn by the bride as an accessory to her bridal gown.

The bridesmaid's dresses were a corally-orange, a very popular color this year.

Here is Nan's embroidered wedding bag so she could keep up with all of her essentials for the wedding.

Adding the veil to complete the dress.

The programs were a 6x6 accordion fold with a custom monogrammed seal of the bride and groom's first initials.

Here are the programs and invitations together.

The beautiful bride, Nan.

Her bouquet mixed pink and white roses, with tropical flowers.

The exchanging of rings.

I do!

"N" for Nan and "Z" for Zade, these letters hung on the church door.

Here is the bride with her mother, Claire, one of our favorite customers!

Engagement photos were arranged around the bride's bouquet at the reception which took place at the Houston Racquet Club.

The bride made quick change after the ceremony into a short dress and dancing shoes!

The first dance as Mr. and Mrs. Pollack.

The cake had the married monogram.

Bridesmaid's bouquets were multicolored and perfect for spring!

Here is the Bride tossing the bouquet. Who's next? Maybe HH Design House can design your invitations?

Foam fingers in Tennessee Orange were given to guests as a favor. Nan and Zade truly are #1!

Wedding Wednesday: The "Marry" Month of May

It's no surprise to us Texans that May is a wonderful month to get hitched. The flowers are blooming, spring has sprung, and it's not too hot yet. It's just right! In May 2010, Kristen and James were married in Wimberley, Texas in the heart of Hill Country at Old Glory Ranch. Instead of using lots of colors, Kristen decided to use neutrals and textures to create a rustic elegance we love.

HH Design House created these beautiful save-the-date cards with a magnet reminder enclosed so guests could be reminded of the wedding every day.

These simple, yet elegant invitations, set the tone for the beautiful day with taupe letterpress and blind debossing on a Pearl White Crane's Card. The names and scripture were hand calligraphed by Hayley and then typeset for the details.

Here are Kristen and James infront of the chapel where they were married.

No, this wasn't their ring-bearer!

The bride's Christian Louboutins were something we had to add to this post. We love them!

The ring-bearer and flower girl were given Build-a-Bears dressed as a bride and groom for their wedding party favors.

Flowers added beauty to rustic furniture. What a neat idea to do tons of clusters of smaller arrangements than one larger one.

Candles were placed everywhere during the ceremony for soft, elegant lighting.

HH Design House designed the programs used in the ceremony.

We love the use of flowers and candles the bride chose!

The happy newlyweds leaving the church.

Reserved signs for the family tables.

The first dance as man and wife.

Monogrammed napkins and koozies were used by the guests at the reception with the logo we created to carry throughout.

Boxes with Kettle Corn inside were given as favors to the wedding guests.

Cigars were rolled to celebrate!

An old timey photo both was set up for the guests to have their own photos of the reception. How fun!

Here are some photos from the photo booth of the bride with her flower girl and ring bearer. Hayley designed the template that all the photos were printed on.

This cake is almost too pretty to eat!

I'm sure the kids loved the donkeys at the reception.

What's Texas without cowboy boots?

Happily married, the bride and groom leave the reception. The well-wishers hold sparklers and cheer as the couple say good-bye and head to their honeymoon. Thanks to Kristen and James for letting us be a part of their Big Day, and to Kristen White at Frills Consulting in Austin for coordintating such a beautiful event! What a fun, beautiful wedding!

T.G.I.Fabulous (part 2): Red, White, and Beautiful

As promised, we are back for part two of our Fabulous Friday blog post. In light of the holiday, we want to share all things red, white, and beautiful. This Independence Day should be celebrated in style. As Americans, it is our right to be fabulous!

In this issue of W Magazine, Blake Lively sports a patriotic look clutching the American flag. I'm a huge fan of her style. From Gossip Girl to the Green Lantern, she never fails to look amazing.

Courtesy of MarthaStewart.com, these American Flag cupcakes are a tasty patriotic treat at any Fourth of July picnic.

Speaking of parties, we have a few place settings we fell in love with. This one from Anthropologie is rustic and shabby chic.

These paper fireworks from Martha Stewart add a nice nostalgic touch.

More traditional, these patriotic buckets from Southern Living maximize table space for all of your yummy BBQ dishes.

This plate from Anthropologie is fabulous. I'm all about the nautical animals this summer!

We sell Capri Blue candles like this one at our store in Galveston. Come by and see us!

Pretty pretty! Blue accessories are very "in" this summer.

Paired with white jeans or shorts, this top from Anthropologie is a fashionable expression of patriotism at your Independence Day celebration.

These clogs from Anthropologie cute and stylish

The Daily Mail featured these accessories for summer.

We found this clutch on Vogue.com. It's cute and affordable from Asos.com.

Just in case you haven't read our TGIF part one post, we featured Kendra Scott jewelry. She is having a sale through July 4th. We suggest you take full advantage of this great deal!

We designed this patriotic earring on the Kendra Scott website. We can't get enough of the Color Bar! We think this earring looks like a firework!

Parties, BBQ's and picnics are great ways to celebrate our nation's independence, but we must remember the real reason we are celebrating. Many, many soldiers have fought and died for our freedoms. HH Design House would like to take a moment to say heart felt thank you to our troops and veterans, especially our dear friend Chuck DeLongchamp, returning from Air Force depolyment on Tuesday!!! We are so proud of you and are proud to be Americans! We will be thinking of you this July 4th! You are always in our hearts.

Happy Independence Day to all of our readers! We hope you have a safe, fun-filled, patriotic holiday! Happenings will be closed July 4th but will be opened Tuesday, July 5th. Don't forget to "like" HH Design House on Facebook and to check out our website. See you next week!
