A few months ago, I met Tricia from Twisted Ranch.  She started the conversation by counting her blessings and declaring that she wanted her business to be a blessing to others as well.  One of the ways she does this is by hosting the Dream Wedding Giveaway every year at her wedding venue.  It is where several couples submit their love stories to the Austin Wedding Guide, who then narrows them down to the top 5 stories.  Once the top 5 have been chosen, Austin and the surrounding areas (well, anyone who wants to vote, actually) gets to vote once a day for their favorite couple.  Each has a very unique story and I’m sure the voting is pretty close (SOOO glad I’m  not counting the ballots).

I’m quite familiar with the process, as I, too, have volunteered my time and talents to the winning couple, who will be chosen at the Bridal Extravaganza this weekend and announced by David Tutera.  GOD has blessed my business SO MUCH in the last year that I cannot help but want to give back in some small way and have made it one of my goals for 2014 to give more.

The very last day for voting is tomorrow (Friday, January 11th, 2014).  If you would like to take a minute to read all of the love stories (which is always my favorite part) and vote for your favorite/most deserving couple, head on over to the Dream Wedding Giveaway page.

Here are some photos that I took at Twisted Ranch, where the lucky couple will be tying the knot later this year.  Tricia had the barn decorated with rustic, Autumn details.

The Sheriff’s Office is a great spot for photo booths!   The s’mores bar is one of my favorite things about Twisted Ranch.  Maybe it’s my sweet tooth or love of being outside around a campfire, but this is pretty awesome!

One of the cabins is used as the groom’s getting ready room AND has a poker table!

Tricia is a STELLAR decorator and had the inside of the barn set up for an Autumn wedding when I was there.

Above the main reception room in the barn is the bridal suite:

A short walk across the hall from the bridal suite is a cute little room for the bridesmaids:  Yes, the vanity tops are made out of old doors!  You know I love that!!

Best of luck to all the couples who made it this far in the Dream Wedding Giveaway!  May the most deserving couple win!
