We hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving filled with tons of yummy food and bundles of time with your loved ones. Here at The Branch, we cherish time with our families and thought what would be better than to share a little piece of our family with you!
Here are some of our team members favorite Thanksgiving traditions! [Read more…]
If there is anyone who knows everything happening at The Branch it’s Katy Roden, our client services extraordinaire. Katy joined the team back in 2014 and has become an important piece of the puzzle. She’s a graduate of Southern Methodist University with a degree in Journalism and Spanish. Katy is the momma to Hilde, who is one of the dogs you’ll always see at the shop. When she’s not working hard on client proposals, running installs, or talking with clients on the phone, you can probably catch her with a glass of red wine or out adventuring with her pup.
Favorite memory from college?
How can I narrow it down?! Boulevards (which is what we call our football tailgates) were always a blast. Sundresses, cold beer, friends and football — what else do you need? I also will always cherish my late nights working at The Daily Campus student newspaper. I learned so much and have the funniest, nerdiest memories from that office.
Favorite part of the Branch?
Successful, seamless and beautiful events! So much effort and detail goes into each and every event we design. Seeing all the conversations with brides, planners, mothers, vendors, Debby and our team, finally come to life is the most amazing and rewarding experience. I love the feeling of looking over a beautiful event after we’ve pulled it all together. [Read more…]

It’s hard to believe it was a year ago that Debby and I were coming home from San Jose after an amazing couple of days at Oprah’s ‘Live Your Best Life’ tour. I keep thinking of us all fired up on the plane ride home – papers spread all over our laps – revising our ideal org chart and mapping our dreams for The Branch.
Toots (as I affectionately refer to Deb) and I both love Oprah. We believe in the benefits of self-reflection, self-knowledge and setting personal goals. One of our many bonding moments early on in our friendship was reading and discussing Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth. Heading to see Oprah and her panel of growth gurus was a dream come true for us. It was beyond exciting to have the chance to hear people like Rob Bell and Elizabeth Gilbert speak – to meditate with Deepak Chopra! I mean! Just incredible. [Read more…]
Traditionally, a bride is usually the one stealing the show on her wedding day, but there’s no reason why the groom can’t have a spotlight moment too! Whether your wedding has a warm,fall style or a colorful, spring style, there is a boutonniere choice for every groom. Our job is to create a design that not only fits your wedding decor, but also your groom’s personal style. Though this detail is small, it can add a burst of personality, color and texture to the overall style. Also, this is a great way to get your grooms more involved in the planning process!
