MIDDLETON EVENTS
our planning process
“
When it comes to planning weddings, our goal at
Middleton Events is to provide a fun and stress-free planning process where all the details are curated and precisely executed to reflect what our client is
envisioning. We take pride in being very thorough and attentive listeners in order to exactly understand our clients’ vision and style. By being very involved and taking the time to get to know our clients, we are able to provide the experience they want and deserve!
”
“ My tablescape inspiration stemmed from an ethereal garden, focusing on neutral
tones and a play on texture. I envisioned my design to reflect romance and femininity. I wanted the main color palette to be creams, taupes, whites and greens. My goal was for the design to display nature in its beauty. stephanie / @middletoneventsco

“We wanted a Texas wedding that was more refined than rustic and more country club than country. The vision was to host our family and friends somewhere that had

an incredible outdoor atmosphere, but also wasn’t short on sophistication. We found our venue, Hidden River Ranch Weddings & Events, and knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. My goal was for the grounds to showcase the beauty of the Hill Country and for the details to be representative of our New York sense of style.” MEGHAN, BRIDE
