Let’s call this the “watermelon + summer day dreams edition” — which, here, might involve a lot of thinking about cool recipes (literally), cooler temperatures, swimming holes, and vacations out of the 103F Texas heat.

That being said, we’ve been busy this week! Check it out:

Blog Love // Style Me Pretty featured Ashley and Jame’s citrus and chambray wedding at The Wild Onion Ranch , shot by The Nichols Photography [bonus points for last week’s post on SMP for another Wild Onion Ranch wedding by Ashley Garmon!] that plenty of people were pinning up a storm for the altar we put together.

Travel Bug // We’ve been on the road! From Rockport wedding venues, to Fredericksburg ranches and a day trip to San Antonio — we’re hopping around the state and loving the chance to see new venues, try out local restaurants, and enjoy as much seafood as we can handle! Be sure to follow The Nouveau Romantics on instagram for all the best shots.

Behind the Scenes // Have you heard of Camille Styles’ in-the-works book? We’re grateful to be involved on the flower side of things, which has been a lot of fun! It’s been really nice to work at the slower pace for these shoots — this week we shot a summer tabletop of coral and fuschia peonies. [You can find all the behind-the-scenes shots by searching for #camillestylesbook on instagram!]

Links we Love // Reem Acra’s Spring 2014 Bridal line definitely caught our eye! // Suzanne Goin’s Cherry Almond Tarte is making us wonder when we get to make another. // It’s hot here in Texas, so these Watermelon Basil-Lime bars from Pinterest are pretty perfect.

Finally – Liz is heading to Canada next week for family and cottage time, while the rest of us hold down the fort here in Austin. Stay tuned for some great images while she’s eating her way through Montreal and Toronto!
