Here at Precious Nuptials & Destinations, we have been very fortunate to have a fabulous family of workers that we can totally depend on to make your wedding day every bit of spectacular. We work hard to make sure your wedding day is everything you thought it would be… and more! One this note, we are super excited to introduce to you our newest family member : Dionne Christiansen.
Dionne is originally from Australia, but moved to Houston from California this past year. She brings to the industry an awesome ability to create unbelievable designs from basic details to vintage eye catchers. You will come to know Dionne as a must have in your wedding planning and design experience. She’s original, fun and loves to make her mark on weddings! With out further ado, I present to you Dionne Christiansen! {Crowd Cheers}
1. What do you love most about weddings?
I could say that I love that it celebrates the joining of two people in love, and that they get to celebrate with all the special people in their lives – but that would only be half true. The other half would be that it’s the most detailed, personal, lovely party you’ll ever have!
2. What inspires you?
Unusual color combinations – when I see colors put together that I normally wouldn’t see together, it gets my brain thinking about other possibilities.
My husband – Brian is completely humble and selfless, and the way he lives his life is such an inspiration to me. It’s that humble spirit that drew me to him in the first place, and he is always inspiring me to be a better person. It sounds cheesy, but it’s so true.
My mother – my mum is the best cook ever! Everything she cooks turns to gold. She is known in her town for being a great cook, and people are always hoping for an invitation to Connie’s house for a yummy meal. She is definitely my Cooking Muse!
Children – their innocence and unbridled creativity really is a marvel. The things they say and the things they dream really spur me to be broader and less inhibited in my own plans and dreams. I don’t have children of my own yet, but when I do, I am sure I will be inspired by them on a daily basis.
I have a double Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design and Marketing. I was a graphic designer for 5 years, and my favorite thing to design was always wedding invitations. I am such a romantic at heart.
I love people and I love creativity, so entertaining, cooking and baking are big hobbies of mine because I get to combine these two loves. I really enjoy photography too, and pretty much like anything that involves me creating something. I also like making things out of paper, and collecting tea cups and pretty plates.
Creme Brûlée. Hands down. I love that combination of the silky custard and the hard crackle of the hardened sugar on top.
Cherish every moment, and soak it all in – because it flies by so quickly. And one more tip (this isn’t the most important, but I found it pretty handy on my wedding day) – don’t wear your garter all day, especially if you’re getting married outdoors or on a hot day, because it could get all hot and sweaty for the poor guy that has to catch it later on that day. Instead, put it on half an hour before the garter toss – no one will ever know, and it will still be fresh and lovely for the lucky guy who catches it!
Dionne will immediately making regular appearances on our blog, local events and through social media. So when you see her, please be sure to say hello! You can also email her direct at dionne {at} preciousnuptials {dot} com.

i have worked in the wedding industry for over 7 years, attended over 200 weddings, and Dionne’s wedding was by far the best I have ever attended! Dionne is well traveled, and educated but i feel it is her creative side that will give her an edge in this industry. the highlights for me at her wedding were her use of colors, not to mention her personal touch with the bride and grooms dating history. Each table was named after a street that she and her husband had gone on a date together. The list of the personal touches that she had are just far too long to list. I will tell you this, my date that went with me to her wedding said to me on the way home “I really feel that i personally know Brian and Dionne now.. Like we all have been friends for years.” To me, that is what is going to set her apart in this industry. Dionne will not just do well, she will go to the top!
I ADORE DIONNE!
SHE’S GREAT IN EVERYTHING SHE DOES I’M A BIG FUN!
her blog is amazing and she does a great job!
Good job Dionne!
You are such a fantastic person!
Awww… more comment love. Thank you.
And wow, Brian. That’s high praise! I am blushing!
Dionne is the bestest!
on top of being extremely creative and talented– she never ceases to amaze me with her creations– she is also the sweetest person ever and such a joy to be around.
