We are devouring one of Lisa Vorce’s insane weddings today…this one, a vibrant, colorful affair designed for two Texans. Two Texans after my own heart.

Like everything that Amy Nichols gets her hands on, today’s featured wedding was simply delicious.

Whenever Lisa at Oh How Charming! sends me a wedding that she’s designed…it quickly becomes an obsession. I’m not sure whether she was born with this ridiculous talent or she’s honed it along the way but whatever the case, my girl crush on Lisa is getting a little bit crazy. And together with Jose Villa and more...

Okay, so you’ve seen the first sneak peek of today’s featured affair. Well, lucky lucky us…Lisa Vorce is stopping by to share ALL of the details and the inspiration behind the beautiful day that Jose Villa shot.
