We had the good fortune of connecting with Ana and Diana Espinosa and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ana and Diana, what are you inspired by?
We are inspired by people having a space to gather and celebrate life’s accomplishments and moments in between. We love seeing people’s relationships through the thought and intentionality they put behind planning a special event to surprise or celebrate their loved ones. We believe every small or big moment in life should be cherished, and we are inspired by those people who want the same.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
We have expanded ourselves and our brand to doing more than just our picnic styled events. We are now creating tablescapes, balloon setups, engagements, planning and coordinating weddings, and more. We are most proud of all the partnerships we have in place with BuddyLove, Harwood District, and The BACH. Each one of these partnerships has helped us continue to grow our business and challenge our creativity. We are forever grateful for these brands for believing in us and for allowing us to be a part of their events.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
One of our favorite way to spend a day with friends in Dallas is going to the Knox-Henderson area where we can get a croissant and other pastries at the Village Baking Co, then getting coffee at Foxtrot, and spending time shopping around the stores in that area. We love finishing our day with a walk around the Katy Trail and getting a drink and dinner at the Katy Trail Ice House.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
We would not be where we are today without the help of our friend and mentor Allyson Wall. When we were first interested in the event and wedding industry, Ally took us in and allowed us to take part in her business, My Life Ally, where we learned the realities, joys, challenges, and triumphs of being a business owner in the event industry. Ally also taught us how to love clients in the process of planning and executing their events. More than that, Ally mentored us in our personal life and she encouraged, challenged, and cared for the both of us intentionally. We are so thankful for all that she has done and continues to do for us.
