When I was little, the ladies in our house used to go to Fredericksburg to shop for antiques. It’s this perfect little German town outside of Austin, filled with darling little shops, great cafes and cobblestone streets. It’s right out of a fairytale really. So when I saw this next wedding that Austin based photographer Q Weddings captured, it took me right back to that happy place. Love, love, love.




This wedding took place in Fredericksburg, Texas – perfect town for a sweet, but stylish wedding. Jennifer wore a Jim Hjelm couture dress, vintage jewelry, a feathered headpiece and her favorite watch that she has worn every day for years. Todd wore a purple shirt, striped seersucker suit and leather Italian sandals, plus a watch that Jennifer gave him as a wedding gift. The flowers were by Sprout, a fantastic florist is Fredericksburg.
They got married at the tiniest chapel, St. Barnabas. It’s a historical place and only holds 13 people! It holds significance to Jennifer and Todd because that is where they first met. Their ceremony was really moving because it brought together two families. Jennifer’s daughter and Todd’s two daughters were an integral part of the ceremony. All were given rings. The girls had no idea about the rings until the ceremony. There was not a dry eye in the house.
The reception was at the Hoffman Haus, with grazing stations, many fantastic wine choices (Todd owns a wine bar), a DJ and many fun toasts. The grand finale was a hilarious toast by the three girls.
Thanks Suzi! We LOVE!

I've seen those invitations at Target! They are super cute! I used the same brand, but different style for my own wedding invitations.
This wedding is too cute! Where is the cake from??
I'm almost in tears just from the description! I love the idea of the rings for the girls, such a fantastic way to show the joining of two families! All the little details make it look so heartfelt and personalized. Just beautiful!

I live in Fredericksburg, it is a beautiful little town. It's very cool to see a wedding from here on style me pretty! And how strange that looking through the pics I though "was this in Fredericksburg?!" lol
@Lindsey, I'm taking a guess seeing as there are only a few places for wedding cakes in town, I'm going to say Sophie's Choice Bakery, she is probably the best in the area. But I could be wrong.
i just got back from visiting fredericksburg with my honey and I have to say that it would be one of my top favorite places to get married. Beautiful wedding!
beautiful! i just love it when parents include their kids in their wedding as a joining of 2 families!
I'm shooting a cookbook in Los Angeles and I had a quick break, so I took a peek at today's post. What a nice surprise! Big thanks to Abby and Style Me Pretty for perfectly describing the emotions and sweet style of this Fredericksburg wedding. Jillian is right, the cake was done by Sophie's Choice Bakery.
I love shopping in Fredericksburg, it's such a great little town. This wedding brought me to tears too, I just love the story of the rings!

Oh I love Fredericksburg! I have yet to stay at the Hauffman Haus but heard great things about it! Want to go back!
I love the green cockscomb (celosia) in her bouquet! I like that she has something a little unexpected in there.
The rings, the rings, the rings. Wow, what a beautiful idea when joining two families. How special it must have made the daughters feel. Not a dry eye in the house indeed.
Came to this blog from checking out the blog awards. I'll definitely be back.
I loved this wedding! Jennifer, would you mind sharing details on your gorgeous veil and headpiece?
Love how the kids were a big part of their day!
I think the idea of the rings is a marvelous one that will sure bring the 2 families closer!
The cake is gorgeous. I especially like the little stripes. What a beautiful touch.
what a gorgeous, classy and elegant wedding. And the bride in that dress! It looks like it was made just for her. I would love to look that good on my wedding day. Bravo to her!
