I’ll admit, when Tubby Todd reached out, I didn’t really understand the full scope of cuteness that was about to come my way. As someone with no children, I’m not very “up” on all things baby or bath time (lol), but boy did I learn.

Y’all, I just love a rehearsal dinner + welcome party combo and I’m never going to shut up about it. Sitting down to an intimate dinner with your closest people. Sharing speeches and embarrassing childhood stories, clinking wine glasses, and ending the night with a big party (before the big party). It’s just the best way to get centered and blow off a little steam before wedding day.

Ali & Blake’s rehearsal dinner and welcome party was so much fun, y’all. With generous dollops of hot pink and orange, delicious treats (cowboy boot cookies and a bangin’ sundae bar), the sweetest toasts, and an incredible custom hat bar, it was truly one for the books.

You may know Caila from The Bachelor franchise, but I just know her as a fellow Caila! Right from my first interaction with Caila, it was clear how genuinely lovely she is. She is a delight to be around, super creative, and cares deeply for her friends and family. When she asked us to sing for her baby shower, we were honored. The shower was a a French garden party-inspired affair at the Rosemary Room at Tiny Boxwoods – the perfect venue for intimate gatherings.

If you’re looking for rehearsal dinner + welcome party inspo, look no further. Ellie & Jacob’s night before was warm, refined, and laid-back. Their eclectic style showed through with every detail, and the night flowed beautifully—from the intimate vineyard dinner under string lights, to a tented welcome party overflowing with joy (and Lone Star).

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – there’s something so special about the night before. Chloe + Michael pulled inspiration from the Amalfi Coast for their gorgeous rehearsal dinner at Hotel Saint Cecilia. Complete with crisp & classic vibes, lemons, and little shots of limoncello on display. To complement the Amalfi-esque atmosphere, we played trio with upright bass mixing in some jazz with some more modern love songs. And of course, when Italy comes to Texas, we’ve gotta do a little Texas country! We had guests singing along to country bops like “She’s Like Texas” & Our Song by Taylor Swift.
