Austin Wedding Trends | Austin Wedding Photographer Shannon Cunningham

I am currently working on David and Elise’s wedding album and I remembered their super cute ‘sign in bottles’. This wedding was so fun. People from New Orleans just know how to have a good time.

These two had their guests sign bottles that had 1, 5 and 10 years on them. They planned to drink the wine on those anniversaries and then keep the bottles.

I love this. I am coming up on my 10 year anniversary next year (seriously??!!) and I think it would be so fun to have a nice bottle of wine and reminisce about the people at our wedding.

So it seems that I need to have another wedding…..Why you ask? Well, I was lucky enough to be asked to photograph the AWEC (that’s Austin Wedding and Event Coordinators) Media luncheon last week.

It was super interesting because a panel of wedding industry vendors were talking about trends for the upcoming year plus some really compelling reasons for hiring a Wedding Coordinator (We’ve discussed this I know, but a reminder never hurts)

I, of course, ate it all up. It made me want to have another super stylish, fabulouso wedding with lighting and a European wedding dress. That’s probably not going to happen, but at the very least, I got some great ideas and tips for you all and got to hang out with a few of the AWEC ladies, who are great.

Info is after the photos- enjoy!

Geri A. Vela, owner of Alexia Gavela. I was so excited to meet him as several of my brides have purchased their dresses at his store. He will find the perfect dress for you – seriously. Women that get their dresses at his shop have a dress that is perfectly suited for them and it’s always tailored impeccably. Plus, after meeting him, I can tell you that he is a sweetie. Run, don’t walk.

These are what put me over the edge as far as wanting another wedding.

Erica & Josh!! They were part of the Bride & Groom panel because they are awesome. As a little sneak peek – their wedding is going to be published in a magazine very, very soon!
