Thanksgiving Table Decor

We can hardly believe Thanksgiving is next week! Will you be traveling or hosting? While we enjoy a good turkey dinner and a slice of pie (or two or three), we have to admit that, besides expressing gratitude and spending time with friends and family, our absolute favorite part of the holiday is the table decor. This year, in an attempt to get away from the traditional brown, red, and orange color scheme, we've created two completely different, but equally beautiful, table designs with fun and fresh color palettes.

Michelle Leo Events Takes Texas

Last week, Team MLE headed to San Antonio, Texas to execute a Monet-inspired, water-color dream of a wedding! We had so much fun and wanted to share a bit of our behind-the-scenes experience with you today. The Texas heat, humidity, and hospitality welcomed Team MLE to San Antonio this past weekend for one incredible out-of-state wedding. Originally a brewery built in 1894, the hotel embraced its history through the inclusion of old brew tanks and distillery machinery in its decor, and as I would come to discover, just like the bride (Adva) and groom (Bart), it was bursting with unique, yet classic, character.

Emma & Matt's Alfresco-Style Wedding

An alfresco-style wedding at a beautiful ranch surrounded by the mountains? Um, yes please! Emma and Matt’s beautiful day was engulfed in the natural beauty of High Star Ranch.
