Calm, Cool and Collective - Our Directors

Oprah may have the best team in TV but we have the best team in weddings (just ask me). Every Bride has dreamed of her wedding day and our job is to make that dream come true (and we love this job).  Directing and coordination are the key to a smooth wedding day.  Let me introduce our team.Calm - Jessica was the first bride to have her reception in the Cotton Barn. We were planing Jessica's wedding years before she even met her groom. Jessica is like a daughter to us and brides tell us Jessica knows how to keep them calm.  Jessica is always calm under pressure and has been on our team the longest and we are so glad she still loves weddings.

Cool - Amy was the first bride at Pineola with a guest list over 300 and the first time we needed a tent. Amy  understands what makes a great party. Amy knows whats cool and up to date in weddings and she still buys wedding magazines(a girl after my own heart). Brides say Amy knows how to anticipate their needs and keep the reception going.

Collective  - Teri was the first bride to leave on a vintage fire truck and is the new kid on our block.  Teri has such a kind heart and still gets chocked up every time a bride starts down the aisle. After every wedding Teri says "this wedding was my favorite." Brides say Teri  keeps things together.

This team is a dream team. Our girls go over and above to make our brides dreams come true. They are the best.

October at the Farm

Like we said earlier - Our favorite season is usually the one we are in at the time. It is the beginning of Fall and the Farm is bursting into bloom again! The Swamp Sunflowers are incredible - The most vivid yellow you will ever see mixed with the purple of the Mexican Brush Sage and it's almost as good as a sunset.Add a few ornamental pumpkins in a green farm wagon and you have the perfect photo oportunities. We still have a few wedding dates available for for fall 2012...

Seasons at Pineola Farms

One of the most common questions we get is "What is your favorite season at Pineola Farms?" That is a very difficult question because our favorite is usually the one we are in at the time...

What season do you like best?

Christina and Sam - October 30, 2010

Where has the winter gone? Spring is almost here and it makes us want to be in the yard We have been taking advantage of the great weather. We are working on a new garden area that we are calling The Knight Garden - can’t wait for you to see.

With all of the winter projects we have been working on we need to apologize for not keeping our blog up to date. We have two weddings from last year we need to tell you about.  This is the first one. Christina and Sam - October 30, 2010

Christina and Sam were marred at the farm on Oct 30 in the pecan orchard. We have said fall is our favorite time of year. The way all the elements of this wedding came together made it one of our favorites. Christine was a stunning bride and Sam was a handsome groom. Sam is proudly serving our country and was away a lot during the planning of the wedding but Christina made it happen.

 It was obvious to us that Sam and Christina held the keys to each other’s hearts. We had been collecting some antique keys and thought this was the perfect time to use them - on his boutonniere, her bouquet and tucked here and there throughout the reception.

Our design team knocked this one out of the park, from the chandeliers, wheat, pumpkins, keys and quilts.  Thanks to Sue and Samantha! You helped make Christina’s vision come to life. It was Halloween weekend and Christine made sure the kids were not left out. We loved her best wishes box and fall colored cards.

DJ Tiger Smith did a great job keeping everyone dancing.  Jessica and Amy, two of Pineola’s coordinating and directing team made the day run so smooth, as always. Katerings by Kelly did a great job as always. Kelly’s food is great… and her presentation is superb. Kelly also baked the wedding cakes.

We love the way Jenny Evelyn Photography captured the love that Sam and Christina have for each other. Jenny always amazes us how how she captures the majic of the day.

We loved working with Sam and Christina and feel so grateful they chose us to be a part of their perfect day.
