Texas Wedding with Modern Vintage Style
Hello friends! Chantale here from La Belle Bride, serving up another delicious wedding for you guys to drool over! If I had to make a list, these are a few of my favorite things when it comes to weddings: DIY projects. Vintage style. Modern accents. Eco-chic elegance. Now, wouldn’t it blow your mind if all of these things came together into ONE wedding?! Well, brace yourself because I present to thee: Baovy and Vu’s adorable Texan wedding. All the elements I love in one beautiful wedding.
The second I laid eyes on these photos by The Nichols (husband/wife partners in amazing photo crime), I was struck by not only the killer style of this wedding, but the clear “joie de vivre” that this couple has. Which in my books is oh-so-important on your wedding day. We all love a few high fashion wedding pictures here and there but I LOVE seeing couples clearly being themselves in photos. Laughing, hamming it up, jumping for joy…I just eat that stuff up.
I’ll let the bride, Baovy, tell the rest of the story about her amazing day:
The inspiration for the style of the wedding was “modern-vintage-eco-chic.” It may be a mouthful, but I wanted to have a day of simple elegance meets modern details, with an eco-friendly approach. Our color scheme, yellow and gray, were our favorite colors and helped to create a chic vibe. Vu and I incorporated a bicycle theme into the wedding because we both discovered our love of biking together. We incorporated our tandem bicycle in our engagement pictures, wedding portraits and even in our exit as a “green” mode of transportation!
Phew! There’s a whole lot of inspiring ideas from this wedding, right? More to come from the couple’s amazing reception!

Yes, the joie de vivre and exuberance is very refreshing with this wedding! As a photographer, I'm always encouraging people to relax, and loosen up to enjoy the day, and these are a breath of fresh air. Brides take note, your wedding day your's and your partner's to enjoy to the fullest! I think the photo that captures this the best is the jumping shot. Though these are fairly common, usually the bride jumps so her feet are only an inch or so off the ground for fear of getting dirty...this girl's feet are the highest of them all! Go Baovy!

I'm pretty sure the bridesmaids dresses are the J Crew silk chiffon Juliet and twist tank dresses.
I love the yellow and charcoal - the yellow wraps really pop against the gray dresses and the invitations (Wedding Paper Divas) are lovely. I also love how they transformed the reception space with simple lanterns and table runners. Beautiful!

I am wearing the same shoes for my wedding! I was all prepared to spend a whole lot of money on a designer pair of shoes and then I fell in love with these! Ha! They are Nine West and I bought them from Macy's.

I love the ties--as Sarah notes the colors just pop. Can you share where the groomsmen ties are from?

Her gown looks just like mine which is the La Sposa Final in Ivory. And the bridesmaid dresses are Jcrew. 2 different silk chiffons. My maids are wearing the twist tank in graphite grey as is one of these bridesmaids. so beautiful with the yellow too!

Hi everyone! Thanks for all of the lovely comments =)
The groomsmen ties are from Express Mens, which I got lucky and found in store. The bridesmaids dresses are indeed J. Crew, and all of the cashmere wraps were purchased from Nordstrom. I also debated on buying designer shoes, but was very happy with my Nine West shoes from Zappos. -

Beautiful! Did you do your ceremony outside? I'm considering the same venue for a late-January wedding. I'd love to know if you were able to do an outdoor ceremony or if you decided it was too cold. Thanks!
