Austin Wedding Vendor Spotlight – Uptown Events & Travel
Dear 2017 brides – Do you need help? Are you looking for a wedding expert to guide you, help you out and make sense of planning your wedding day?! Of course you are – it’s overwhelming, right? I’m so excited to have another Austin wedding vendor spotlight with Uptown Events & Travel owner, Jessica Upton! She mentioned to me that many brides (and MOB/grooms/etc) often are not sure what level of help they need when they start planning their perfect wedding day. So, without further ado, here’s some information and clarification from Jessica Upton on figuring out the level of help you need! Congratulations on planning your wedding and feel free to share this article with any friends you know in the same boat! – Jessica Frey A few quick things about Jessica & Uptown Events & Travel: 1) How long have you been planning weddings? I opened Uptown 4 years ago and started planning weddings in 2008. 2) What’s the best way to reach you? Email- Jessica@UptownEventsTravel.com 3) How early should a bride book a wedding coordinator/planner? Brides should book a wedding coordinator/planner as soon as they are engaged. Even if your just hiring a month-of coordinator, s/he can provide venue and vendor recommendations that will save you tons of time in research and save you from making costly mistakes. 4) What’s your favorite part of the wedding day? My favorite part of every wedding is just before the Bride and Groom walk out for their big exit at the end of the reception. The look of excitement on their faces and sweet words of...

Our favorite time of a wedding is getting ready to walk down the aisle. There is an sense of anticipation from everyone. But our favorite part about being asked to provide pieces for a wedding is knowing that in even a tiny way we became a part of someones best day of their life. What advice do you have for brides deciding on their vintage rental concept/design? Keeping it simple and true to your vision. Vintage/Boutique rentals are a way of topping off the overall design. Keep colors of furniture choices clean and add pops of color with pillows. Pull the colors for your design from your floral selection and keep to a three color maximum. By using vintage pieces in unique ways such as a trunk as a...

What a fun (slightly rainy) day I had at the Pecan Springs Ranch wedding Open House this past weekend! The oh so talented team there and Paige Smith of Pure. Love. Style. brought together some amazing Austin wedding vendors and had a “Flamingo” themed event. It was such a fun, creative, fresh theme that we all had fun incorporating into our tables.

Capra & Cavelli – Austin Wedding Vendor
Welcome to another Austin wedding vendor highlight! I’m so excited to share some great advice to groom’s getting married or really any man looking for a great suit/tuxedo. I had the pleasure of meeting Buddy Estrella at Capra & Cavelli and enjoyed working with him in April to create an Italian look for our Tuscany in Texas wedding theme. It was a great experience and he took my vision and created a perfectly tailored, modern look for our two models. I know from a photographer’s perspective, nothing looks better on a groom than a perfectly tailored suit or tuxedo…it really makes a difference and just as the bride gets her ‘once in a lifetime’ dress, I think the men need the same treatment! As a top wedding clothier in Texas, I asked Buddy for his expert opinion and advice for grooms (or their brides searching online for what their man should wear!). Check out his answers below and if you’re in the Austin area or visiting, go see him at Capra & Cavelli for all your menswear needs and tell him I said Hello!
