A trip with the Tripp’s…HA!

Pun’s aside 😏 this last week Cam and I spent in Mexico was *exhale* so needed. Outside of our honeymoon 7 years ago and one other vacay, this was the only other trip we’ve taken solo together.

We didn’t do a single excursion.
I got a single beach buzz and that’s it.
I finished a book.
I played beach volleyball almost every morning.
We met so many people.
And most importantly, I stayed off social and spent a total of 3 “surfing hours” on my phone over the ENTIRE WEEK 😳💃

For the first time in a long time, we came home feeling so rested and refreshed with a rockin’ tan and hot DAYUMM it feels gooooood! ✌🏼

"It all just went by so fast!" 💨 This is what

"It all just went by so fast!" 💨

This is what our couples say and we couldn't agree with them more! And we can't even begin to imagine how much more intense it would feel if they didn't have us with them on their wedding day--ooof!

If we could slow down Father Time for a couples wedding we ABSOLUTELY WOULD, but alas, we can not. BUT! There are a few ways that we work with our couples to make every moment count which are:

🕰️ Curating a timeline that has an "eezy breezy" feel to it versus "a kid with a crayon" kind of vibe. It helps give structure to the day and lets us figure out where the little pockets of time exist so that we can send couples on their way to have a few moments alone together!

🕰️ When our couples list of things to do become lengthy, we say "pick your top 3" and roll from there. We love fun trends, family wedding traditions and all the photo moments but if they try and cram in too many, couples rob themselves of any chance they have to be present on their wedding day.

🕰️ If there's extra time in the timeline, leave it be! We've seen it where there's an extra hour free and though the impulse would be to designate it for something...sometimes it's better left as simply "free time" for the couple. What a concept right?!

I got to build out this adorable seating chart concept for Gabi + Karson's wedding last summer at the @fairmonthotelmac. "May our love bloom forever" 🌷Seating charts are always so great to play with design wise tailoring them to overall look and feel of the wedding and guests absolutely love interacting with them!

Tayla + Charles said their I Do’s on Tayla’s family cattle ranch and we did a full send on the ranch vibes 🙌🏼

They branded a hide during their wedding ceremony at dusk, had a “Chatahoocherie” table for guests to graze on, a cigar lounge area for the fella’s, and even a Tequila donkey named Burrito who paraded through their reception tent.

How does it get any better than that?!
