Baleigh + Caleb - Wedding Day

I know, I know, its been FAR too long since I have blogged my weddings. I have been utilizing Facebook to show my albums, however, what Facebook can not do is tell the story of my amazing couples, so that is what I want to focus on today!

Baleigh had me at hello... well, her mom's hello actually. I met her sweet mother Tammy first, and knew instantly I would have a connection with her daughter, who lives out of town but wanted a local wedding. My only regret is that Baleigh doesn't live near me, we are kindred spirits!

Baleigh wanted a day full of her closest friends and family while she said, "I Do" to her adorable fiance Caleb Hopson. Not a small task, as Baleigh has LOTS of close friends, mostly from Texas Tech where she is a proud Red Raider and large family! Caleb's family was equally as charming... His dad wore the suit from his own wedding years earlier to the couple's rehearsal. I will say, the baby blue threads shocked me at first, but not after I got to know Hopson!

Perhaps that is what made the day so wonderful - the people, and the love they exemplified. The gorgeous decor and lakeside views didnt hurt either! Held at gorgeous Harbor Chapel at Possum Kingdom, (you might remember that locale from Beth & Ron's nuptials a while back!) the day was a perfect one to tie the knot. Gorgeous blooms from Bows&Arrows provided the pops of color Baleigh wanted to highlight natural craftsmanship of the chapel and grille. Burlap textures and vintage elements served as backdrops for her casual, elegant, wedding on the water. Baleigh and Tammy curated whimiscal items for months to ensure her day was as unique as she is.  Perhaps my favorite item was the amazing cake stand handmade by her grandfather, and the cake by my amazing gal Heidi at Sugar Bee Sweets. We displayed the ruffled confection on the stand, surrounding it with tons of vintage wooden crates creating a unique cake stand. Or... was my favorite the fabulous chandelier that hung between two tree's on the deck from my friend at Period Charm Rentals? Or finally, was it the candy containers Tammy made out of vintage oil spouts and mason jars I wast most enamored with... (& she surpised me with one of my very own!)  I will let you be the judge... Thanks to the wonderful Derrick Tribbey Photography for the gorgeous images.

 

 

Congratulations love birds, I wish you nothing but the very best, with lots of love, laughs and of course, Texas Tech football games!

XOXO

Shelley+Josh - Wedding Day

I truly believe this was my year - my lucky year for amazing brides. I was blessed to be a part of multiple weddings with brides who were nothing short of amazing. Shelley is one such bride. Not only is she a "past bride" but one that I will now forever call a friend! She is absolutely gorgeous, inside and out! A beautiful Mississippi, Southern soul whom I just love! Josh, her lucky groom {and spitting image of a young George Clooney!}, is the epitome of gentleman AND comedian all rolled into one. They are fabulous together!

Shelley's dream wedding consisted of a Sunday morning ceremony, complete with a choir and church pews provided by Pews In The Garden; honoring her strong faith in God, followed by a delicious brunch. The wedding was held at Winfrey Point at White Rock Lake. The ceremony took place outside under two huge oak trees. Vintage picture frames hung from the branches, while Shelley & Josh stood under a sparkling crystal chandelier!  Live music from a local choir and special guitar playing from a close friend were the perfect touch. It would not have been complete with out gorgeous blooms from wonderful Nicole at The Wooly Thistle. Those flowers - perfection! Not only did she provide luscious blooms for the wedding party and reception tables, but completed two fireplace installations with succulents, logs, and air plants that were breath taking!

Shelley & Josh also wanted to incorporate their love of all things vintage, and thier favorite past time of going to old shops; so we included an eclective vignette of vintage settees, chairs, and suitcases from the fabulous Lisa at Period Charm Rentals. She also provided the aforementioned chandelier as well. Sigh.

 To kick off the reception, guests were greeted by music from fabulous live band, Memphis Soul, while they brunched on the most delicious spread from Gil's: Traditional Sunday Brunch. Gil's provided it all - from home made french toast to mini burger sliders, there was something for everyone. And, if all THAT wasn't enough, Shelley & Josh had a fresh made miniature donut station from The Snack Box AND, a cupcake truck courtesy of Red Jett Sweets, as seen on Food Network and Cupcake Wars!!! Guests went wild. Duh... who am I kidding, so did I! All of that awesomeness is exactly what I would expect from a couple like Shelley & Josh - and precisely what they deserved on their special day. Thank you so much Daniel Davis Photography for capturing the beautiful images and allowing me to share!

Cortney & Jordan Hart {Wedding Day}

Ahhh! It is finally here! The day that I get to share with you one of the most gorgeous weddings... ever! Not only was my bride absolutely BEAUTIFUL  (take a peek, you'll see!) on the outside, but is honestly one of the sweetest, kindest souls I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Each and every one of her  friends and bridesmaids were equally as wonderful. (Um, the fabulous fabric chuppa they were married under... yeah, they hung that!)  I cannot say enough great things about this bunch of girls. Jordan is a lucky, lucky groom... but, don't worry ladies, he knows it! Cortney is equally as crazy about him, which is so fitting for thier last name to be Hart. Love it!

Cortney decided to have her wedding at her parents home in Keller, TX. I don't blame her, as I instantly  wanted to move in the minute I stepped foot on the property. It was the quintessential backdrop for Cortney's big day. It exemplifies Cortney in every way: Simply Stunning. Plus, Cortney wanted her and the girls to get ready & relax at home! I joke that if every wedding I do can be done on this property, with these people, my job would be CAKE.

Speaking of, lets talk about the fabulous vendors Cortney used to execute her day. Heidi, as you all know, my favorite baker from Sugar Bee Sweets provided the gorgeous mint green cake with hand flecked gold tipped sugared blooms! She also supplied the crowd favorite: cake balls. Gone in a flash! So no one filled up strictly on cake, Cortney wanted food everyone would enjoy - so what is better than Urban Crust bringing thier wood fired pizza oven and making fresh pizza on site?! Nothing - nothing is better than that... Guests sipped on Izze's (delicious fizzy waters that are Cortney's signature drink) and vintage soda's. However, she is also an avid coffee drinker, so friends and family were also served a myriad of choices via a custom coffee bar after dinner. Mmmm!

As the ceremony and reception were held at her parents' home, we wanted everyone to still feel like they were in another placed and time... so, gorgeous seating from Period Charm Rentals, featuring a pink velvet vintage fainting couch {amongst many others} did the trick!! Another of my favorites is the gold slipper chair that was THE PERFECT back drop for Cortney's bouquet... ahh, so many pretty seats to choose from!  

Bows and Arrows provided the beautiful blooms peeking out of gorgeous colored mercury glass on the tables and her swoon worthy bouquets. Hers' might have been my favorite bouquet of all time...

The night would not have been complete with out a live jazz band by my favorite: Memphis Soul; who played behind the picturesque backyard pool, while guests danced around, and under, the gazebo.

The night ended with sparklers and hugs, wishing Cortney and Jordan nothing but the best, because that is exactly what they deserve. I love you guys!! xoxo
