Corey and Kyle effortlessly showcased their love for the outdoors through their wedding, held at the Prospect House in Dripping Springs, Texas. With all of their guests flying in from New York, they wanted to create an authentic Texas Hill Country experience for their out-of-towners.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]Corey and Kyle’s love story began with an introduction through a mutual friend, and they’ve been inseparable since that first date. Originally, Corey had planned to stay in Park City, Utah, for just a month, but after meeting Kyle, ended up staying for a year. Eventually, the couple made the move to Austin, Texas, together. Both sharing a passion for the outdoors and snowboarding, Kyle chose the perfect moment to propose during a trip back to Park City Mountain. At the top of a ski run, he asked Corey to spend forever with him. Their shared interests extend beyond snowboarding – they love hiking, cooking, dining out, and spending time with their dogs. Corey, an avid traveler, has already visited 27 countries, adding their honeymoon to South Africa to their list. This trip was particularly special, described by both as the “trip of a lifetime.”[/field]

A Timeless Hill Country Wedding Filled with Personal Touches at Omni Barton Creek

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Blush Pink and Ivory, with hints of greenery. [/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Jessica and Michael envisioned a celebration that was timeless, elegant, and personal – a day filled with undeniable joy from beginning to end. Their soft palate of blush pink, ivory, and greenery paired beautifully with the Hill Country backdrop of the Omni Barton Creek in Austin, Texas. Guests experienced a natural flow from a serene outdoor ceremony overlooking the rolling hills, to a courtyard cocktail hour, and finally into a pavilion reception that opened to the evening breeze before transforming into a lively dance party. Lush, fresh florals and candlelight gave each space a sense of romance and intimacy, while statement pieces – from the cascading florals at the head table to the six-tier cake – added a touch of grandeur. Layered throughout were thoughtful details that reflected Jessica and Michael’s personalities and story: a gelato cart, signature cocktails, a “Generations of Love” photo display, and Jessica’s iconic Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders “Thunderstruck” performance opening the dance floor, to name a few. Their wedding day was filled with beauty, joy, and meaning – a true reflection of Jessica and Michael’s love story.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

A few weeks before the proposal, one of Jessica’s Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader teammates asked her and her roommate, Claire, to model in a photo shoot for her new boutique. Dresses arrived at her apartment in the weeks leading up to the shoot, all part of a carefully orchestrated plan by Jessica’s mom, Claire, and Michael. Jessica, convinced the proposal would happen later in December when Michael’s Italian family was due to visit, had no idea the big moment was already in motion. One weekend in November of 2023, Jessica’s family and friends came into town to watch one of her DCC Christmas shows that Friday and Saturday at The Star, as they did at least once every year. Her mom even helped steam her “photo shoot dresses” while she was in town, secretly hiding her excitement for what was about to happen that weekend. After a fun Saturday night out after the show, Jessica’s friends and family pretended to leave town the next morning, leaving Jessica to go about her day – getting her nails done and filming a lighthearted “get ready with us” video with Claire before heading to the shoot in downtown Dallas. When they arrived at the photo shoot location, the photographer introduced herself as Megan Kay, who, unbeknownst to Jessica, would later capture her wedding day too. After a few test shots, the door quietly opened, and Michael walked in. Jessica immediately knew what was happening in this moment. Everything else faded away as he took her hands, said a few sweet words, and dropped down on one knee. Overwhelmed with joy and emotion, she said “yes” before she could even see the ring through her happy tears. Their families, waiting nearby, rushed in to celebrate, and the surprises continued with a beautifully planned engagement party at Mesero in Legacy West. The room was filled with thoughtful details, Jessica’s teammates, and close friends who had traveled from near and far. The night was overflowing with love, joy, and happy tears. An unforgettable start to Jessica and Michael’s forever – November 19th.

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]

For her ceremony, Jessica wore a breathtaking Berta gown from BB Lewisville. The romantic A-line silhouette was fully covered in classic floral lace, with sheer off-the-shoulder sleeves that created an angelic and ethereal look for the outdoor setting. The dramatic train added a grand touch, while delicate pearls and subtle sparkle along the bodice gave it just the right amount of shimmer. She wore her hair down with big curls, and paired the gown with a pearl-trimmed veil, custom Verstolo pearl-and-diamond earrings, and Jimmy Choo heels. Jessica shared that the dress was the second one she ever tried on, but she knew instantly it was “the one” as she always came back to it. She wore this gown through the cocktail hour and first part of the reception, including her first dance, toasts, and cake cutting. Later that evening, Jessica changed into a custom Casablanca Bridal design that she worked on at their flagship in Newport Beach, California. The chic mini A-line style was crafted in satin with a square neckline and thin straps, brought to life with scattered beaded detailing across the waist and bodice. She paired the look with diamond Verstolo earrings and a necklace, and her iconic white Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders boots — which had been hand-painted by Darby Thompson with blush florals, pearls, sparkles, her new last name, and her wedding date. Jessica debuted this look with a DCC performance to “Thunderstruck,” officially opening the dance floor, and wore it through the late-night celebration and send-off. For her rehearsal dinner, Jessica chose a fitted Vera Wang floor-length gown with a subtle train and delicate lace side panels. She accessorized with pointed satin Steve Madden heels featuring pearl details, a pearl handbag from Anthropologie, and Verstolo diamond-and-pearl earrings. She completed the look with a ponytail, striking the perfect balance of chic and timeless on the eve of her wedding day.

[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]Jessica’s bridal party of eight bridesmaids looked elegant in matching gowns from Birdy Grey. She chose the Kira Dress in Pale Blush and Matte Satin, a timeless off-the-shoulder silhouette with a soft floor-length drape. The subtle shine of the fabric caught the natural light outside beautifully, creating a classic and cohesive look.

To complete their ensembles, Jessica gifted each bridesmaid delicate Birdy Grey jewelry: pearl drop earrings and a pearl bracelet. These details added the perfect finishing touch, and the soft blush gowns paired with pearls created a look that was both romantic and refined. [/field]
[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]

Michael and his groomsmen embraced a timeless, classic look for the wedding day. All of the groomsmen wore black tuxedos with crisp white shirts, a sharp and elegant choice that perfectly complemented the bridesmaids’ blush gowns. As a meaningful gift, Michael presented each of his groomsmen with custom cufflinks, which they wore with their tuxedos. Michael stayed true to his own classic style on the wedding day in a black Vera Wang tuxedo with a white shirt, looking sharp, handsome, and effortlessly himself. For the rehearsal dinner at The Driskill, he wore the dark gray suit he had proposed to Jessica in—a sentimental nod to their story—paired with his Lucchese cowboy boots for a touch of Texas flair.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]

Jessica and Michael treated guests to a thoughtful culinary experience from start to finish. During cocktail hour, guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres including fried crab cakes with Cajun remoulade, honey-smoked salmon with boursin and black pepper on toast, and balsamic-marinated Roma tomato skewers. Dinner began with a classic Caesar salad, followed by entree choices of herb and sea salt-rubbed beef tenderloin, pan-roasted chicken breast, or butternut squash gnocchi, with sides of Boursin smashed potatoes and glazed baby carrots. Dessert was the couple’s six-tier wedding cake, served alongside late-night snacks of passed truffle fries (in custom fry holders with their wedding crest) and a gelato station featuring flavors like stracciatella, chocolate, and caramel macchiato. The drinks were just as memorable. An open bar flowed throughout the night, with wine service at dinner and an espresso martini custom ice lounge, by Full Spectrum Ice, that guests loved. The couple also created signature cocktails: Jessica’s “The Blushing Bride,” a pink prickly pear margarita with a Dallas Cowboys star engraved on the ice cubes by Full Spectrum Ice, and Michael’s “Michael’s Type,” a Shiner Light Blonde – both playful and personal nods to their story and style.

[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

Jessica carried a beautiful bridal bouquet of blush peonies, while her bridesmaids held coordinating arrangements of white and soft blush blooms. The flower girl wore a crown of petite white flowers with greenery and scattered petals before JJessica walkeddown the aisle. The ceremony itself was framed by blush and white florals lining the aisle and a stunning, grounded floral arbor that created a dreamy, garden-like altar. For cocktail hour, a circular bar was crowned with a dramatic floral centerpiece, while a welcome mirror surrounded in blooms and a “Generations of Love” display with family wedding photos added meaningful touches. Inside the pavilion, the sweetheart table overflowed with cascading florals and candles, and the head table featured a mix of low arrangements and tall glowing candles with a dramatic floral “train” that mimicked Jessica’s gown. Guest tables glowed with florals and candlelight, while the six-tier wedding cake adorned with cascading blush and white blooms served as a breathtaking focal point behind the couple. The all-white dance floor, customized with their wedding crest in blush, tied the entire design vision together and created the perfect backdrop for the evening’s most special moments. Together, the flowers, decor, and thoughtful details created an atmosphere that felt both breathtakingly timeless and uniquely theirs.

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]Jessica and Michael worked with Judy at Simon Lee Bakery in Austin to design a stunning six-tier wedding cake. The all-white creation was wrapped from top to bottom in cascading fresh flowers from their florist, making it the perfect backdrop for their sweetheart table and photos. Inside, the couple chose two flavors to delight their guests: half white cake with cream cheese amaretto and half chocolate cake with Belgian chocolate mousse. It was as delicious as it was beautiful.

Instead of a traditional groom’s cake, the couple added a personal touch with a “groom’s dessert” – a gelato cart, in honor of Michael’s Italian heritage and Jessica and Michael’s first date getting gelato. With family traveling all the way from Rome to celebrate, it was the sweetest nod to his mother’s side of the family (and a crowd-pleaser for guests who couldn’t resist a scoop of gelato). [/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

Before the ceremony, Jessica and Michael chose to exchange private personal vows, reading heartfelt letters they each wrote to one another and exchanging meaningful gifts. They did not do a first look, so their handwritten vows, letters, and gifts were delivered to their waiting rooms before they walked the aisle. Jessica gave Michael a custom Lanham family Bible, while he surprised her with a Tiffany pearl bracelet and a set of “open when” cards for milestones in their marriage and lifetime together. For the ceremony itself, the couple said traditional vows in front of the pastor from Jessica’s childhood church — a touching full-circle moment. The Sienna String Quartet provided live music throughout, setting an endearing and elegant tone. Jessica walked down the aisle to “Canon in D,” Michael’s favorite classical piece, and the two recessed as Mr. and Mrs. Lanham to the traditional “Wedding March.” The quartet continued into cocktail hour, playing classical renditions of popular songs that made the atmosphere feel like a movie. The reception was filled with music and memorable moments. Jessica and Michael shared their first dance to “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis, followed by a father-daughter dance with a surprise twist. Jessica and her dad began with “I Hope You Dance” (the Chris Stapleton version) before breaking into a lively mash-up of “Can’t Touch This” and “Dancing Queen,” complete with pom-poms hidden up her dad’s sleeve that later became props on the dance floor. This was a fun tribute to their many “daddy/daughter dance” recital performances when Jessica was little. Michael and his mom then shared a sweet Texas two-step to “Days Like This” by Van Morrison. Throughout the dinner, reception, and dance party, the Jordan Kahn Orchestra’s Manhattan Band kept the energy alive with an 11-piece ensemble that brought guests to their feet. From pulling Jessica and Michael on stage to starting a limbo line in the middle of the crowd, the band created an unforgettable atmosphere of celebration.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]

One of the most unforgettable moments of the night came when Jessica honored her four years as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader by carrying on a beloved DCC wedding tradition. At each wedding, the bride takes the point of the iconic triangle formation as current and former teammates join her to perform their signature pre-game routine to “Thunderstruck.” Jessica made this performance the official grand opening of the dance floor, and it was every bit as electric as game day. For the performance, she changed into her second look along with her custom hand-painted white Lucchese DCC boots and pom-poms. As she and her teammates hit the routine’s signature moments, sparklers shot off behind them, bringing the energy to an all-time high, thanks to Big Dog Pyro. Michael sat front and center, cheering Jessica on just as he had for four years at AT&T Stadium, while guests cheered and clapped along, too. When the performance ended, everyone was invited onto the dance floor, complete with pom-poms and light-up cowboy hats, setting the stage for an unforgettable party.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

To close out the night, Jessica and Michael shared a private last dance to “Amazed” by Lonestar with their band before joining their guests for a spectacular sendoff. Friends and family lined the pathway to the circle drive, each holding sparklers as the couple made their way through. The horn section of their band followed closely behind them, playing “All You Need Is Love” to keep the celebration alive until the very end. What made the moment even more meaningful was their getaway car: Jessica’s dad’s treasured 1967 black Pontiac GTO. The car, from the year of his birth and with Italian origins, was both a sentimental nod to her father and a fun tribute to Michael’s Italian side of the family. Decorated lovingly by Jessica’s parents, the car became the perfect final touch to the night. With a final wave, a dip, and a kiss, Jessica and Michael drove off into married life — and then on to their honeymoon adventure in Thailand.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]Incorporating a beloved Italian wedding custom, the couple incorporated a sweet tradition into their wedding favors. Guests were gifted “Italian Confetti” – not paper streamers, but sugar-coated almonds – as a cherished wedding tradition symbolizing love, luck, and prosperity. Each guest received five confetti, representing health, happiness, fertility, wealth, and a long life – five heartfelt wishes for the newlyweds.

The almond inside has a natural richness, while the sugar coating adds sweetness, reflecting the contrast of life’s moments. Together, they create the perfect balance – just like a strong and loving marriage. This thoughtful detail was the perfect ending to the celebration, filling guests’ hands with something sweet and their hearts with well-wishes. [/field]

Where Refined Neutrals and Western Flair Collide in a Fresh Austin Garden Wedding

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

Airy neutrals and pops of fresh green

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Neka and Zach’s wedding day was an elevated, chic garden party at The Grand Lady in Austin, TX. The day blended Neka’s refined, neutral-forward style with Zach’s cool, Western flair. With a spring-inspired palette of airy neutrals and pops of fresh green, the celebration leaned into a texture-forward design, whimsical details, and interactive guest moments.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Sentimental, intimate, and emotional are three words that come to mind when I think about the night of our proposal. The sentiment tracks back to Zach and I’s very first date. We had been getting to know each other for a few months while I was still living in Dallas and Zach was in Austin. We would finally get to meet in person when I came home to New Braunfels around Christmas time. Zach drove an hour to pick me up (with flowers in hand like the true gentleman he is), and we spent the day in my hometown. Before heading home, I told him about one of my favorite places in New Braunfels called RiveRoadad. I thought it would be a great opportunity to show off my town, but in reality, the beautiful scenic drive was gloomy and bare due to it being the dead of winter. Oopsie. We made the most of it and promised we would see it another time when everything was in full bloom. Fast forward to the evening of the proposal. We were in town for the 4th of July and had plans to eat dinner with his mom downtown. Looking back at it now, I should have put two and two together when we received a text saying his mom was running late, and ZZach suggested we kill time by driving down River Road. As we drove down the windy, scenic road, this time in full bloom, I realized Zach seemed to be on a mission. We pulled up to a spot I had never seen before, where Zach suggested we get out and go look at the water. To which I reply, “This is private property! We can’t be here!” He persisted and eventually got me out of the car, thank goodness. He led me downhill, where I saw something scattered by the water. Funny enough, at the distance we were at, I squinted and thought it was the underbelly of a bunch of fish someone had caught. As we got close, it was clear that it was not in fact fish, but dozens and dozens of beautiful white roses individually placed in the ground, candles, and twinkling lights dangling from a large oak tree. Just us two (plus Kelsey and Talon hiding behind the tree, of course), it was the perfect intimate proposal. He got down on one knee and expressed his love and desire to spend the rest of his life together. At this point in our relationship, we had already experienced more hardship than most people have to endure in their whole lives. I had spent the year battling my cancer diagnosis with Zach by my side. So in that moment when we were wrapped in each other’s arms, celebrating, I was picturing all the hardships we had faced, making that moment so much more meaningful! I knew I was getting a life partner who proved we could make it through “in sickness and in health”. As if the tears weren’t flowing enough already, we then drove to a special spot from my childhood to be surprised by our loved ones! The rest of the evening consisted of showing off the ring, retelling the proposal story over and over again, embracing close friends and family, and smiling from ear to ear until our cheeks hurt. It was everything we could have hoped for and more, and I am forever grateful for the memories we have from July 2nd, 2024

A Four Seasons Wedding That Blended Organic Greenery, Playful Patterns, and Unforgettable Guest Experiences

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

A rich green color story blended earthy tones with an elevated, design-forward approach.

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Chloe and Jake’s wedding was a visual delight, transforming the Four Seasons hotel into an elegant, organic celebration of nature. As their vision evolved, Chloe embraced mixing patterns and varying shades of green, adding a playful twist to their otherwise classic aesthetic. The day unfolded in four distinct experiences for guests. First, a joyful ceremony was set against the serene backdrop of the lawn and Lady Bird Lake. Then, a lively cocktail hour punctuated by bold prints and vibrant details. This was followed by a refined, open-air dining experience under the stars, culminating in a disco-speakeasy-inspired dance party. Reflecting on their wedding, the couple shared, “We wish we could relive every moment from that day.”

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Chloe and Jake’s first date — an evening of drinks and dinner in Jake’s Austin neighborhood — felt more like a reunion than a first meeting. Their connection was instant, as if they had known each other forever. In fact, the date went so well that later that night, Chloe called her mom and asked, “Is it possible to die of happiness?” Two and a half years later, Jake surprised Chloe with a family trip to Europe, planning a special day just for them: a snowshoeing excursion in Chamonix, France. After a beautiful but strenuous hike to the summit, Jake dropped to one knee. Their only witness, aside from the stunning alpine backdrop, was their guide, who also doubled as their photographer. The rest of the trip was a whirlwind of celebration, made even more special by the unexpected arrival of Chloe’s mom and stepdad in France. From the snowy peaks of Chamonix to the charming streets of Switzerland, they embraced every moment as a newly engaged couple, savoring the start of their next adventure together.

A Wedding Awash in Pink Where Romance Bloomed Naturally at Woodbine Mansion

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”][/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

The color palette for this wedding is a harmonious blend of soft, romantic hues and vibrant garden-inspired tones, creating an atmosphere that feels both effortless and intentional. At the heart of the design is a delicate yet statement-making shade of pink, woven throughout the florals, décor, and personal details to evoke warmth, joy, and timeless romance. Blush and soft pastel pinks serve as the foundation of the palette, appearing in lush blooms like spray roses, ranunculus, and sweet peas. These softer tones are complemented by deeper, more vibrant pinks found in poppies and dahlias, adding dimension and a touch of whimsy. The florals, which also feature hints of ivory, buttery yellows, and soft lilacs, mirror the natural, wild beauty of an abundant garden in peak bloom. The pink hues are carried throughout the wedding design in subtle but impactful ways—through the bride’s bouquet, and through the reception details, where pink-tinted blooms spill across pistachio green printed tables, adorning centerpieces, custom dance floor, and temporary tattoo station. The choice of green amaranthus and fresh greenery adds a grounding element, ensuring the palette feels organic rather than overly curated. The use of pink in this wedding is more than just a color choice—it’s an intentional thread tying together the romance of a garden in full bloom. It brings a sense of softness to the overall design, enhances the joyful energy of the celebration, and reflects the love and warmth shared on this special day. Whether in the bride’s bouquet, the floral-wrapped wedding cake, or the delicate table arrangements, pink is not just an accent—it’s a feeling, a story, and a reflection of love in its most beautiful form.

The carefully curated color palette—anchored in soft and vibrant pinks, with complementary hues of ivory, buttery yellow, soft lilac, and fresh greenery—sets the tone for a wedding that feels effortlessly romantic, organic, and enchanting. This palette doesn’t just decorate the space; it transforms it, evoking the essence of a flourishing garden in peak bloom and creating an atmosphere that is both refined and welcoming. Pink, the heart of the design, speaks to the natural beauty and whimsy of a garden party setting. The range of pink tones—from soft blushes to deeper, more playful hues—adds a layered richness that feels both intentional and naturally abundant, much like flowers scattered throughout a secret garden. The florals, abundant and slightly wild in their arrangement, enhance the unstructured elegance of the day, making every detail feel as if it were plucked fresh from the earth. Beyond the florals, the infusion of greenery and natural elements balances the sweetness of the pinks, grounding the design and ensuring it feels organic rather than overly polished. The result is a setting that feels lush and inviting, a space where nature and romance intertwine seamlessly. This palette extends beyond the flowers, influencing the choice of soft, textured linens, dreamy tablescapes, and even the custom dance floor that mimics the hues found in the floral arrangements. The wedding cake, adorned with cascading blooms in matching tones, becomes a natural continuation of the floral design, reinforcing the sense that every detail is part of a greater, blooming whole. Ultimately, the colors bring the garden party vision to life, making the wedding feel less like an event and more like an experience—one where guests are immersed in a world of blooming beauty, soft romance, and effortless charm. Every shade, every bloom, and every detail work together to create a wedding day that feels like a dream wrapped in flowers.

He took Kaleigh to Butler Metro Park in Austin, and after setting things up, Shayne got on one knee and asked Kaleigh to be his “forever picnic date”. The rest is history!

Kaleigh and her mom shared a special moment when they discovered the dress at Signature Bridal Salon in Austin.

The dress featured delicate, three-dimensional floral appliqués that cascaded across the bodice and skirt, creating a whimsical, romantic feel that perfectly matched Kaleigh’s vision. One of the standout elements was the removable shoulder wrap, which added an extra layer of elegance and gave her two distinct looks throughout the day.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

The floral and decor vision is of a lush, garden-party-inspired affair that feels effortlessly romantic and brimming with natural beauty. A carefully curated selection of seasonal blooms creates a rich tapestry of texture and color, with ranunculus, sweet peas, irises, dahlias, cosmos, poppies, roses, and spray roses blending harmoniously. The addition of trailing green amaranthus introduces a touch of movement and depth, evoking the organic elegance of an overgrown garden in full bloom. The patterned green linens and velvet couches add as whimsical accents to the bright florals. Each flower, chosen with precision by Forsynthia Florals, complements the wedding’s color palette, ensuring a seamless flow between the floral elements and the overall design. The bouquet is tied together with a soft pink ribbon stem wrap, perfectly matched to the delicate pink hues found in pink florals, adding a refined and personal touch. The result is a design that feels fresh, romantic, and timeless—a true reflection of the beauty and joy of the wedding day.

[field title=”Wedding Cake”]

At the heart of the reception, a stunning three-tier white wedding cake by Morgan Pearl Cakes stands as a delicate masterpiece, seamlessly blending elegance with the romantic, garden-party aesthetic of the day. Each tier is adorned with a smooth, refined finish and feminine icing details, allowing the beauty of the floral embellishments to take center stage. The result is a wedding cake that is not only a visual showpiece but also a reflection of the couple’s love story—timeless, romantic, and blooming with beauty.

Kaleigh and Shayne both wrote their vows and shared them during their ceremony, making sure to include their promises to each other and highlighting their dogs Beaux and Marty.

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]The couple’s getaway car was more than just transportation—it was a sentimental showstopper. Shayne’s pride and joy, a sleek 1990 Fox Body Mustang affectionately named “Buffy,” played a starring role in the celebration. Decked out in hand-painted tin cans, flowing tulle, and ribbons that matched the wedding’s color palette, Buffy sparkled with vintage charm and personal flair as she waited to whisk the newlyweds away. Adding an extra touch of fun, Shayne’s groom’s cake paid tribute to his beloved car and his love for golf—it featured a detailed miniature model of Buffy cruising around his favorite hole at his favorite course, a playful and heartfelt nod to his passions.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

Kaleigh wanted to infuse their wedding day with a fun, unexpected twist that truly reflected their personalities—so she and Shayne sourced a vintage tattoo vending machine and gave it a bold, custom makeover with a fresh coat of pink spray paint (naturally!). Always one for the details, Kaleigh designed a collection of playful, couple-themed temporary tattoos and stocked the machine with “his and hers” stickers for guests to discover and enjoy throughout the reception. It quickly became a crowd favorite, sparking laughter, photo ops, and a touch of nostalgic charm that perfectly captured the couple’s vibrant, creative spirit.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]

In late December 2021, after almost 5 years of dating, Eric and I were hanging out at home when he suggested that we grab some sushi by the beach and then enjoy the sunset together. If there are two things we love the most outside of our dog Leo, it’s eating sushi and being at the beach, so this was not out of the ordinary for us on a Friday night. Not thinking too much of it and it being a relatively chilly night, I threw on a matching sweat set and Eric asked me, “Are you sure you want to wear that?” This caught me by surprise because a sweatshirt is basically my everyday uniform and is frequently worn by me, so I jokingly said, “Why are you going to propose or something?” Completely kidding and not realizing that he in fact would be proposing that night and the only reason he asked me about my outfit was because it wasn’t any sweat suit, it was a new sweatsuit I had just purchased from a popular podcast show called “Call Her Daddy” and the sweatsuit read “UNWELL” across the entire chest and down the leg. Looking back at the photos now, all we do is laugh because you can see the pure happiness on our faces, and then my entire outfit says Unwell on it. We then grabbed our golden retriever Leo and headed to our local sushi spot at the beach, where we had dined many times before and enjoyed a cozy date night together. I noticed that Eric kept ordering more and more food at dinner not knowing that he was trying to kill time to make sure that the vendor he hired to create a romantic set-up on the beach for us had enough time to put everything together and that our friend who is a photographer was able to get set up and hide for us. After what was probably 30 rolls later, we started walking to the beach just up the street, and I let our pup Leo off the leash to run on the sand next to us to watch the sunset together. As we got closer to the water, I saw Eric turn around and look at me, and I noticed there was a blanket set up with pillows on the sand, and as we got closer, I realized that there were framed photos of us sitting on the blankets, with champagne and flowers. I was completely shocked, and it all hit me at once that this was happening right here, right now. When we got to the ban, Eric got down on one knee and, through tears and laughter, and our dog beside him, he asked me if I would marry him. It was everything and more that I could have wanted. A completely intimate experience, just the two of us and our dog and the beautiful sunset behind us. I was so caught up in the moment that I didn’t realize that our good friend, the photographer, was completely in disguise and was able to capture the entire proposal for us. We’re able to treasure these photos now (and laugh at my outfit of choice) and are so grateful to have had her there for that experience. After soaking in the proposal, the sunset, and now being officially fiance, we headed back to our apartment where we had family waiting to surprise us. We got to celebrate all together and soak in the love that we felt with each other and with our loved ones. It truly was the most special day of our lives outside of our wedding day and was the perfect start to the next chapter of our lives together.

Guests were greeted with welcome champagne garnished with edible flowers as soon as they arrived on the property. During cocktail hour, they enjoyed Cilantro Pesto Grilled Shrimp Skewers, Orange and Mint Infused Watermelon Skewers, Roasted Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta, and Chicken Parmesan Meatballs. Their dinner began with bread for the table, a deconstructed Shaved Asparagus and Arugula Salad, and a plated meal of Herbed Filet Medallion or Rosemary Garlic Grilled Chicken. They finished off the night with a vast assortment of mini desserts – tiramisu shooters, Italian wedding cookies, mini cannolis, and lemon honey ricotta cheesecake bites.

[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

The florals followed the coastal and colorful theme! Our incredible florist, Tiffany, with Ida Mayes, created a true vision with the blooms for the day. Their ceremony design featured a collection of monofloral designs, some in vessels and some seemingly growing on their own, for a high-movement and almost Parisian aesthetic that felt very natural, as if just gathered from the garden. Paired with a wooden bench at the altar, these staggered baskets of blooms gave height and visual interest. Umbrellas at the ceremony gave guests much-needed shade as well! Cocktail hour felt light and breezy with a semicircle bar, statement seating chart, and mixed cocktail tables and bistro seating. In the reception space, luxe light wood tables topped with abundant floral and gorgeous place setting stacks set the tone for a night of great food and dancing. The custom checkered dance floor continued the light wooden material motif and was set below a stunning floral installation set on the ceiling with baskets of flowers seemingly pouring out onto the floor. The dancing area was flocked by bar-height tables and woven barstools for guests to sit next to the action.

A small cutting cake was the center of the dessert table, but was accompanied by several smaller desserts for a grab-and-go station.

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]

I feel like there can be a lot of pressure on a bride’s wedding day to have the “perfect” day and honestly what mattered the most to me outside of marrying the love of my life was making sure that our friends and family who all travelled from the east coast and west coast to join us felt just as special, loved, and appreciated for making the trip to celebrate us and know that we were also thinking of the perfect day for them too. I give all the credit to our amazing vendors that we worked with and the focus that they had on all the little details that brought our vision to life. It’s hard to choose a favorite detail, but the overall design of the wedding was a dream come true. From the smallest details like the fresh flowers in the fluted champagne glasses when guests arrived, to the welcome table design that tied in the coastal element we wanted to incorporate into the day, alongside our polaroid guest book, to the insanely gorgeous ceremony aisle and beautiful string trio that we could hear throughout the ceremony and cocktail hour. It was all a dream and even better than I could have imagined. My favorite design element was probably the hanging flower installation in the reception area above the dance floor. This was such a statement piece and made it feel like we were dancing under a magical garden. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how gorgeous the florals were, and I truly felt that Tiffany, our florist, took our vision and brought it to life in a next-level way.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

Outside of the design details from the day, our favorite memories were just being surrounded by our loved ones throughout every minute of the day. We intentionally had a smaller-sized wedding so that we could really spend time with each person on the day of. My favorite moment of getting ready was being able to gift my mom, sister, future sister in laws, and mother-in-law handwritten letters that I had made for each of them expressing my love and gratitude for each of one of them and the roles that they have played in not just my life but also in Eric and I’s love story from the beginning. Seeing them receive and read the letters was special and a moment I’ll cherish forever.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]

By far, though, the best part of the day was, of course, marrying Eric and being officiated by his Uncle Mike. Hearing each other’s vows, holding each other’s hands, exchanging rings, and knowing that we were committing our lives together as one in front of our dearest friends and family was something we will always cherish and remember. It truly was a magical moment and day from start to finish, and I wish we could live it over again and again.

A Joyful Hindu Wedding Weekend Filled with Color, Tradition, and a Backyard Dream

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Rose, blush, maroon, gold[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Anjali and Trit celebrated their marriage with a traditional Hindu wedding, kicking off the weekend with a Mehndi that featured a colorful bangle bar and tasty Tex-Mex bites. The next day, the pair hosted their Sangeet in the bride’s parents’ backyard, where she had always dreamed of tying the knot. The natural surroundings inspired an elegant garden dinner party, with deep red and pink hues capturing the fall season and balancing the lighter design style of their daytime wedding the following day.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

After connecting on a dating app, Anjali and Trit found they had much in common — not just their shared love for cookies! It turned out they attended the same medical school a few years apart, sharing moments in passing without even realizing it. Dinner turned into drinks, which eventually led to a shared lease. While living together, Anjali decided to move to New York City to pursue her residency, while Trit was offered an exciting job opportunity in the Bay Area. But before introducing a long-distance component to their relationship, Trit knew he had to make it official. On a morning walk with their favorite coffee in hand, he stopped in front of a wall of magnificent rose bushes to propose to Anjali. Still long distance, the pair has crossed the country countless times and even unlocked premier status with United! The pair were legally wed on Zoom in 2021, so this celebration was a chance to cement their union with their closest friends and family.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]For the Sangeet, Anjali picked green print tablecloths that resembled Mughal motifs to pair with pink and red floral centerpieces, blush-toned glassware, white scalloped china, and rose-colored custom menus.

Wedding reception decor replaced the moody colors of the previous day with softer tones of pink and lavender against all-white embroidered linens. [/field]

The Blueprint for Making a Major Statement With Bold Color on Your Wedding Day

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Pink, Yellow, Orange[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

We wanted something unique, bold, loud, colorful, and FUN. We wanted something that really embodied who we are as a couple and wanted our guests to feel that in every aspect of the design and detail. We really wanted something fun and different which is why we went so colorful. Also, our wedding being in the beginning of spring time played a part in deciding on color too. Alex took that up a notch by suggesting every event be one colorway. The welcome party was purple, wedding day yellow, pool party orange and Shabbat dinner orange.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]We got engaged on January 15, , 2021 in Tulum, Mexico at Papaya Playa Project Hotel. Scott knew that Annie would enjoy a weekend getaway to one of their favorite Mexico destinations, and that she preferred the proposal to be just the two of them. Scott got down on one knee as the sun was setting at the roof of their casita room where a jacuzzi and stunning ocean views laid as the backdrop. We spent the rest of the weekend celebrating while exploring Tulum and lounging on the beach. It was very romantic and special![/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]Wedding dress designer: Monique Lhuilier
Fabric/description: Tuileries wedding dress
How did you know it was the one? At first I thought I wanted something super simple, which just shows how much you change your mind through the wedding planning process! I walked up to Warren Barron Bridal in Dallas, which was the second location I tried dresses on at, and saw the Tuileries dress in the window. My mom and I stopped in our tracks obsessing over how gorgeous it was but agreed that it’s not a true traditional wedding dress. I tried on one very simple white strapless gown and was encouraged to try on a floral veil to spice it up. I remember asking the woman helping me, “is it okay to wear a floral veil?! Doesn’t it have to be all white?” She looked at me and said, “this is your wedding, you can do and wear whatever you want.” From that moment on something clicked – I did not have to keep with any traditions that did not fit, I could plan my wedding however I wanted and wear whatever I wanted. I immediately asked to try on the dress that was in the window, and that was it for me! I felt the most like me in that dress. My mom cried, I cried, it was perfect.[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]Annie told her friends to wear muted pastel colors for pictures. I wanted everyone in solids to not distract from my dress and choose colors that would highlight my dress.[/field]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]We wanted our food selection to have all of our favorites. We served short ribs and salmon for the main course. The happy hour had plenty of appetizers. To refuel our guests before the after party, we had French fries, donuts and espresso martinis passed out on the dance floor. There was a dessert table with all sorts of goodies like macaroons, donuts, cakes and cookies placed at the back of the reception room. And for late night snacks, the after party had all of the favorites from fried Mac and cheese balls, sliders and more French fries of course.
Did you have a signature cocktail? We had signature cocktails at each event to match the color of the event. Tying in all the monochromatic event designs was done strategically, and one way was with the signature cocktails. Offered exclusively at entry, it excited guests to see what was done whether the event was the formal wedding, intimate Shabbat dinner, or casual pool party.

Wednesday: champagne with pea flower
Thursday: lemon drop martinis
Friday pool party: blood orange margaritas[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]My bouquet was monochromatic yellow and artfully designed by none other than
Remi + Gold. It was important to have it pop out as a statement to align with the drama of the yellow platform aisle, yellow aisle florals, and yellow tones strategically placed in the reception. My boutonniere was also monochromatic yellow tied off with a pink ribbon. The shade of pink perfectly matched our ceremony and reception chairs, as well as our customized Kippahs.[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]We decided to not have a wedding cake, we did not want to do
anything to interrupt the flow of the party.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]Picking the song Annie would walk down the aisle too. We chose “Across the Room” by Odesza and Leon Bridges. This song was playing while Scott first told Annie he was falling in love with her.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]Annie was originally skeptical about choosing a hotel as their wedding venue, she wanted a small intimate feel, nothing too traditional. As none of our guests live in Austin and it being a four day long wedding extravaganza, it was really important for us to make sure our guests could experience Austin to the fullest while getting to know one another (this would be the first time our friends and most family members would be meeting!). We thought what better way to see Austin than stay in the heart of it, in the middle of all the action, right on South Congress Street. South Congress Hotel was the perfect fit, it gave us the small intimate boutiquey feeling we wanted, where our guests would be constantly bumping into each other in the hotel and on the street and had all of the amenities to fuel the four day long party. Not to mention the chic design of the hotel, fabulous rooftop pool and delicious multiple restaurants.
Geraldine’s was also an easy choice for us. We have stayed at Hotel Van Zandt multiple times and always loved the feel and vibe of Geraldine’s.[/field]

A Timeless Wedding Blooming With Elegance at the Arlo in Austin

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Emma & Matthew’s wedding day was elegant, timeless, high-touch, and romantic. Their color palette was whimsical and soft. They incorporated muted spring colors into their summer wedding in Austin, TX. Their color palette consisted of soft blushes, creams, whites, and neutral tans and beiges. From letter pressed ceremony programs to the delicate bows on each menu card, every detail was accounted for.
[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Upon guest arrival, they were greeted with a chilled glass of champagne and a string trio playing soft romantic songs. Guests entered the ceremony through large trees onto an acrylic aisle with the view of a ceremony platform and draping – the room was grand.
Guests walked down a gorgeous staircase to an outdoor cocktail hour. Passed cocktails and appetizers were there for guests to enjoy.

Emma & Matt knew that their guests’ first impression of the wedding weekend would be the moment they opened up their invitation. They wanted guests to open this and it would feel elegant, classy, and formal. Emma had all invitation suites letterpressed, with neutral colors and a monogram that we incorporated not only in the invitation suite, but also throughout the wedding design.
[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]The proposal took place at a secret theater in East Austin. Matt took Emma there and had the space prepared with her favorite champagne and a photographer to capture the moment. He then told her that they were going to dinner at The Peacock which is one of her favorite restaurants. When they arrived, they were escorted upstairs to a private room where both of their entire families were waiting – who had flown across the country. Emma said that it was a complete surprise and the best day![/field]

Emma loved the ideas of neutrals, but was open to her planners creative ideas and suggestions. One idea they made was incorporating a white patterned linen to elevate the tables. Instead of doing it for the table linens, they had custom napkins made from BBJ and kept that pattern consistent by having that pattern on the cocktail table linens.
The overall place setting was delicate and romantic. They had a full place setting when guests found their seat. Even with a plated meal, they wanted guests to take their seats and it feel grand. All menu cards were letter pressed with a romantic satin bow hand tied around each.
The next area that was something they knew would elevate their ceremony & reception was rented chairs. Emma and Matt knew they wanted something grand, that could be a statement to both spaces.
Wedding days are an experience from the minute a guest steps off the bus, to the last moments leaving the venue. Emma and Matt wanted their guests to have different experiences throughout the evening. One part of the reception they were most excited about was the martini room. The venue had a back room that they wanted to utilize, but were unsure how. During the design part of planning, we landed on a martini room. Green velvet draping, swanky lounge furniture, and a bar menu that only included martinis did just the trick.
Emma and Matt also had decided early on in the planning process that a band was a nonnegotiable. We decided to showcase The Nightowls, their wedding band, on a grand stage with a custom acrylic dance floor where we incorporated the custom monogram. Hung above the guests was luscious greenery to warm up the ballroom. The dance floor was packed the entire evening, where Emma was able to showcase her gorgeous second dress, and make her way to the martini room a handful of times. [/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]The wedding cake moment was simple, but elegant. Surrounded by lush floral, the cake moment was jaw dropping for everyone. [/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]One of the couples favorite parts of the wedding day was doing a first look with private vows before the ceremony. This moment was special since they did this inside the ceremony space, where they would be just an hour later with all their friends and family. [/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]One moment that Emma & Matt were extremely excited to see come to life was the martini room. Later in the evening, once the band had kicked off and dinner was finished, we had a separate room in the venue open up which was a martini room. From the dark green moody velvet draping, to the dark tone rentals, we really created a space that had that speak easy vibe. Emma and Matt offered additional desserts in this room, as well as a limited selection of martinis for their guests to order from. The bride also kicked off this time in the evening with a dress change as well! [/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]The bride and groom knew they always wanted to have their ceremony inside, but knew they wanted to transform the venue to not feel like a traditional wedding venue. From the acrylic white aisle and stage, to the custom trees the floral team built on site, the venue was transformed into a whimsical space for a June wedding in Texas. [/field]

Celebrating The Vibrancy of Mexican Culture at This Autumn Wedding Day in Austin

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]The pair honored their Mexican heritage & culture throughout their entire wedding day celebration.

To amplify the heart of the design, a palette inspired by the Mexican landscape painted the day in hues of terracotta, cobalt blue and cream. These colors not only paid homage to Mexican tradition but also brought an invigorating energy to every corner of the venue.[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

In partnership with their wedding designer and planner, LBV Design House, Diana and Marco embarked on a journey to create a day that merged the vibrancy of Mexican culture with the elegance of a wedding celebration. Transforming The LBJ Wildflower Center into a Mexican courtyard haven, the couple chose a location that seamlessly blended timeless sophistication with the warmth of Mexican aesthetics. Cacti-lined pathways, papel picado banners, and terracotta accents set the stage for an unforgettable celebration for Diana and Marco’s intimate guest count.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]Marco had already ordered the ring and was planning to propose when my mom was visiting town. I was having a really difficult time with a health scare and Marco wanted to show how much he loved me and would support me through whatever I was going through. I ended up getting good results back, but he wanted to make my week even better so he proposed the day the ring came in cause he couldn’t wait! He proposed at butler park in downtown Austin.[/field]

[field title=”Proposal Story”]After Taylor took a “work trip” out to California where he took my parents to dinner and asked for their blessing to marry me, he totally caught me off guard the week after as we were heading out to dinner one night and got on one knee by the front door and asked me to marry him in our home. I was fully surprised and didn’t even notice that he had set the mood and was playing “If Not for You” by George Harrison on repeat as I was finishing getting ready and during his proposal. It was sweet and intimate and we celebrated with a delicious dinner and champagne! [/field]

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]The vision for the design of the day was luxe garden.

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]The peplum lace overlay that Katy wore made its first debut in 1987 on her parents’ wedding day. Katy’s Mom made her wedding dress by hand, where she stitched every pearl to perfection with patience and the utmost care. Katy’s Dad “preserved” the heirloom in an oversized pillowcase and 36 years later, it remained in impeccable condition. Katy thoughtfully sourced the peau de soie silk for the custom made gown worn underneath to match the ivory bolero that she inherited. It was a beautiful way to incorporate her Mom’s presence in spirit. The welcome table included photos of Jared and Katy’s parents on their respective wedding days, with Katy’s late Mother in the dress topper that she wore in honor of her Mom. The lace is now back in the pillowcase time capsule hoping to be passed down to the next special bride in their family. [/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]Katy’s vision for bridesmaids dresses was to appear effortlessly coordinated. She curated a collection of dresses in complementary pastels. Katy’s cousins, her Maid and Matron of Honor, also wore peplum dresses as a subtle nod to Katy’s Mom’s handmade lace. The bridesmaids and flower girl dresses seamlessly blended with her design and whimsical tablescapes with details like fresh pears and personalized menus tying to the theme of butterflies and florals.[/field]

The selection of passed hors-d’oeuvres included duck confit tacos, fried chicken sliders, and more! The vision for food was elevated while still being deliciously comfortable. Chipotle-peach glazed chicken and Shiner bock glazed short ribs were served al fresco under vintage festoon lights. Dinner was accompanied by a delicate string quartet and guests enjoyed sunset views overlooking Lake Austin and the gorgeous villa. Following heartfelt toasts and a surprise 70th birthday tribute to the groom’s father, the party transitioned to the tented lawn.[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Guests were greeted with chilled champagne as they strolled through the garden grounds to find their seats for the ceremony. Ceremony was held at the Temple of Love, a historical replica of a classic gazebo sited at the original entrance to Laguna Gloria. Florals were installed along the gazebo columns and thoughtfully placed as extensions of the overarching trees surrounding them. This created an intimate and secluded atmosphere that the couple hoped to achieve as they exchanged their written vows. Florals continued throughout the venue including a feature in the terrace fountain and along the tables where guests dined. [/field]

[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]Katy and Jared had their recessional to Here Comes the Sun after their first kiss as newlyweds.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]Katy and Jared valued intentional time with their guests and family members. Rather than spend all of the afternoon and cocktail hour taking photos apart from each other, they opted for a first look to take portraits before the ceremony and kept wedding party photos to a minimum, allowing them to enjoy cocktail hour with their guests and family.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]The Ashley Austin Band gave a spectacular performance after dinner, getting guests involved in singing and dancing and inviting the bride and groom on stage. Katy and Jared ended the night with a dirty-dancing style lift on stage! The guests went wild and cheered, a fitting finale for their incredible party.[/field]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]Nick and Chelsea were delighted with their decision to go with SoHo Catering for their wedding! Throughout the reception, many guests raved about the delicious food. The menu included Braised Short Rib, Pecan Crusted Chicken, Green Beans, Mac & Cheese, and a definite crowd-pleaser – the bread rolls! Rebecca from SoHo was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. The signature drinks were never up for debate as the couple knew what they wanted early on. For Nick, he went with the classic Old Fashioned topped off with a “G” engraved ice cube. Chelsea had to have her favorite espresso martini that flowed through an ice luge, also courtesy of Spectrum Ice. However, the most popular might have been the “Rusty-rita” which was a spicy margarita with a tajin rim complete with a stir stick of their dog Rusty. [/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Working hand in hand with Simply XO Events during the design process was so much fun. They made everything feel collaborative from talking through the ceremony design, design of the reception in the tent, to even the small details such as the design of the dance floor, lighting, and rented bar. Once the couple booked Heather with Reverie Floristry, they knew they were going to be taken care of. Heather took the design deck from Simply XO Events & brought the color palette to life. She knew which areas were important to the couple, and what mattered vs didn’t matter to them. The bride, Chelsea, had fallen in love with the idea of a tan & white checkered dance floor, which served as the focal point of their mood board early on. The clear-top tent was transformed with luscious white draping, cascading twinkle lights, and clusters of rattan fixtures wrapped in greenery. [/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]The wedding cake selection process was one of the easiest of them all. Immediately upon meeting Brittany from @Morganpearlcakes and describing their vision for the cake, Chelsea and Nick knew they could trust her. Opting for a stunning white 5-tiered cake in a sleek, modern design complete with scalloped detailing, their cake commanded attention as the centerpiece inside of Woodbine Mansion’s cake room. [/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]Upon entering the ceremony, guests were greeted with Champagne & Topo Chico bottles along with the sound of live piano from The Nightowls band. The ceremony began to Nick, the bridal party and family walking down the aisle to the instrumental version of Bruno Mars’, “Marry you”. The bride’s recessional was to a rendition of “Here comes the sun”, a fitting tribute to the delightful April weather that graced their special day. During the ceremony, the couple chose to express their vows to one another, leaving not a single dry eye in the audience. One very special detail to the couple was that the same Pastor who married the bride’s parents was able to marry the two of them, 36 years later. [/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]There was no shortage of ways Nick & Chelsea incorporated their dog, Rusty, into their wedding details. From his seamless walk down the aisle in his custom tuxedo from @barkandgo, to the hand-painted champagne bottle with his portrait from @petportraitsbycaitlin, and finally cut-out Rusty heads as props in the Mir-Mir photo booth. With him being such a huge part of their lives & love story, Rusty needed his time to shine as well. [/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]As silver streamers pop around them, Nick and Chelsea departed down the mansion’s steps with The Nightowls second line parade following behind. For their getaway vehicle, the couple rented a gorgeous toffee cream vintage car. In fact, the same car was featured months earlier in their “Save the Date” engagement shoot at their favorite date night spot, Mattie’s. Leaving it’s mark on each stage of their growing love story, but now as husband and wife! [/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]As an ode to one of their first dates, the couple had Via313 pizza delivered as their late night snack in order to keep the guests fueled for more time on the dance floor! Our only advice to couples planning would be to order MORE as the pizza was such a hit and went too fast. [/field]

Garden Party Wedding with a Modern Twist in Austin Texas

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

The wedding colors had some soft blushes and mustard and pops of black here and there.

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]With the bride being a wedding planner herself, a primary goal of hers was to keep their wedding authentic to them. They decided on a modern garden ambience, with soft colors, organic shapes and movement. They added trees and greenery into the reception to soften the venue and added warm linens and lighting to add to the space. A few personal choices included exchanging private letters before the ceremony without seeing each other, having her boss officiate their wedding and a few military traditions that were special to her groom, Jackson. [/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]Their proposal is Kelly’s favorite memory of their love story. A few months after moving to Austin and working as a wedding planner, it was routine for her to assist her boss, Bianca, on wedding days. She didn’t bat an eye when she asked her to assist with a wedding where the “bride” requested vendors wear cocktail attire. It wasn’t until Kelly opened the doors to the greenhouse when she realized what was happening! Jackson welcomed her, there was music playing, candles and white petals everywhere. After the most heartfelt proposal, he surprised her with her closest friends. It was the most special day and she felt so lucky to have best friends and a boss who would work so closely with Jackson to accomplish the perfect surprise. They later used the same song he had playing during the proposal as the song for her processional down the aisle. [/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]

Kelly wanted to find a modern yet romantic gown. She was looking for something with a soft, flowy texture, a modern shape, and subtle details. The first time she saw a photo of Alena Leena Bridal’s Armeria gown – she knew it was the one! She was covered in chills the first time trying it on. In order to keep the integrity of the gown, her seamstress decided to skip adding a bustle. However, she did not want the train to be ruined on the dance floor – which led her to find a reception gown. Having the opportunity to wear two outfits, she wanted them to be completely different. She chose a sleek, satin gown with a high neck and open back for the reception look.

[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]

Bridesmaid’s dresses were a silky soft pink from Revelry.

[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]Getting married in uniform was important to Jackson, however, they wanted him to stand out from a typical military wedding. After some searching, they decided on a less common white and black dress uniform. They discovered the clothier had stopped making this uniform so they worked with them to have his jacket custom made.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]The couple cut their cake with Jackson’s sword which was so fun! They also included a bottle of champagne with it for the two of them to pop and enjoy alone together afterwards. [/field]

[field title=”Wedding Cake”]Another military tradition was their cake cutting. To go with his new uniform, they knew Jackson would be getting a saber. To make it special to their wedding, they had it engraved with their wedding date. Of course – Kelly wanted to balance the moment out with a little romance by surrounding their cake in a bed of flowers. Kelly was brought to tears when she saw the reception space design come to life.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]They included a few military traditions. First being the iconic saber arch as they recessed down the aisle. Being a romantic at heart, Kelly had their guests also toss petals during this moment. After Jackson’s best man patted Kelly and welcomed her to the Army family, they were able to kick off the rest of the night. [/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]

After he proposed, they decided to create a family crest. They included D, for their last name. Mountains and stars to represent their love for nature and star gazing. Peonies; her favorite flower. This crest was used throughout their wedding day design and was engraved on a signet ring, which Jackson wears as his wedding band.
