Happy Mother’s Day to all of the Moms, Grandmothers, Aunts, Sisters and Godmothers that have touched and shaped our lives. We would not be here without you.

Love,

Happy Anniversary Elise & Jonathan! They coined their wedding Asian Cajun and we loved creating this wedding fusion with you at Hotel ZaZa.

A toast in horror of the bride and groom with two beer cans in a retro 80’s shoulder pad dress, the groom sports a mullet, and the father of the bride has a shotgun. These are some tell-tale signs you might be at a Tacky Wedding. Here’s your chance to be tacky on purpose and for a great cause. Wish Upon a Wedding is proud to present the 2nd Annual Tacky Wedding Pub Crawl taking place on Thursday, April 12th. The Heights is the location for this year’s shenanigans and White Oak Street will never be the same again.

BB’s Creole Café is the starting point for the Pub Crawl and the fun. Last year crawlers encountered a hula hoop contest, tackiest wedding brides of ALL ages, and one of the most interesting scavenger hunts you’ve ever seen. BB’s Creole Café, Christian’s Tailgate, and Onion Creek have all signed on to be part of this festive crawl and drink specials await the crawlers at each stop. Presale tickets are $10 and can be purchased at www.tackyweddingpubcrawlhouston.eventbrite.com. If you find yourself in the neighborhood you can also purchase tickets on the day of for $20.

The funds raised help Wish Upon a Wedding cover additional cost associated with granting wedding wishes to deserving couples. Read about one couple here: Alexis & Christian’s Love Story and Alexis + Christian {Married}.

Be Inspired,

We recently did a wedding at University of Houston Hilton where our couple (Congrats Tara & Derick!) acquired a company to produce flip books for their wedding guests. Well it was a huge HIT at this wedding! Guests were lined up to get a turn at creating their on special wedding favor.

Check out the cutest “flip book movie” made from Tara and Derick’s flip book booth at their wedding.

What is a flip book, you ask? It’s a book with a series of pictures that vary gradually from one page to the next, so that when you “flip” through the pages rapidly, they appear to simulating motion. Pretty cool, right?
