Recently we were contacted by one of our NACE colleagues to document some of Mélange Catering and Special Events holiday inspired tables. Harold had set up three uniquely different tables to highlight holiday designs for the upcoming season.

Millie + Lawson rehearsal dinner
We had the pleasure of covering Millie and Lawson’s rehearsal dinner which was held in the Juniper Room at the Houstonian Hotel. The festivity was coordinated by Angela Nix while the decorations and flowers were provided by Plants N Petals. The groom’s mother merged the influence from the brides family as well as her love of Audubon books of birds for the evenings theme. To top it off, music was provided by the Zydeco Dots. Video services provided by Richard Mortensen Productions. Perhaps due to one of our cooking stations tripping the hotel’s fire alarm required us to evacuate the ballroom temporarily just as the toasts were to begin. All was well and it just added one more memory to the fantastic wedding weekend for the couple.

She grew up in this home since she was 5 so it obviously has several memories for her which made it a great location to add some of her latest milestones. Her wedding coordinator, Angela Nix, was on hand to assist with the session. The bridal bouquet was provided by Plants N’ Petals.

Once again I participated in the NACE Experience which this year was held at the New Orleans Marriott. Our Houston Chapter had a very busy and fun filled experience for three and a half days in the Big Easy. Some of our featured speakers included Simon T Bailey and local entrepreneur Chef John Besh. We were even greeted by the infamous 610 Stompers on the opening evening. So much to share so enjoy the images.
With the elections that were held during the conference, the National Board now features three members of our local chapter:
Lisa Hopkins with the Houstonian – President
Adam Rineer with the Westin Galleria – Secretary/Treasurer
Gary Baumann with the Royal Sonesta Hotel – Foundation President
In addition to all of the education and entertainment our local chapter was also recognized by winning several awards at the evening gala.

Once again we had another fantastic wedding for Lauren and Copeland. The ceremony was held at St Martins Episcopal Church with a reception at Houston Country Club. The festivities were coordinated by Jennifer Hobson with Keely Thorne Events, which included two bands, the first set by Louis Crapitto and the Cowboy Jazz Band followed by Eclipse for the remainder of the evening. The cakes were created by Marlene Romero while flowers were courtesy of Wedding Flowers by Lisa. Lighting by Bright Star Productions and a two piece jazz ensemble to end the night by Leo Polk.
The car for the departure was especially important to the the family as Lauren’s father had it recently restored. This same MG was owned by the brides father when her parents went on their first blind date. How special is that?!

We photographed Melissa’s bridal portrait back in May at the Junior League of Houston where she is having her wedding reception. She has another photographer from out of state covering her wedding and we were asked to handle her portrait session. She was wonderful to work with and had a great session.

Ginny and Drake were married this past Saturday in a fabulous wedding at Second Baptist Church on Woodway with a reception down the road at Houston Country Club. Susie Miller provided the flowers while entertainment was from the band, Sauce and the cakes were created by Marlene Romero.
They were such a pleasure to work with and get to know during the whole time we worked together. Ginny and Drake first met at school, where Drake was best friends with Ginny’s brother. They have been inseparable ever since. They are going to be honeymooning in South Africa for a few weeks, relaxing and possibly engaging in one of their hobbies, hunting. That gun pictured below was Ginny’s wedding gift to Drake! Congratulations you two!
