Matt+Cammie’s fiesta themed wedding at Howell Family Farms

Not only was this wedding simply beautiful, Cammie + Matt were a joy to work with! Cammie contacted us to plan their wedding here in Dallas even though they both live in FL. I didn’t meet Cammie until months after we had starting planning. We had to really hone in on Cammie’s style and vision to pull off a fiesta themed, color packed wedding day with having such little time with her one on one! The day was full of details from the Mexican soda station that greeted the guests on arrival, a world globe for signing showing the couple’s love to travel, Mexican cookie favors, mini Tabasco bottles for place card holders, papel picado, sombreros, ahhhh I could go on and on. We adore their spirits and will miss them dearly. Congrats you crazy kids!!

Signs are up!

We are so excited! Today was a big day! We finally got a lovely set of signs up! It’s official FORT WORTH. Grit+Gold is here.

A huge thank you to local sign man, Don Smith. He did a fabulous job capturing the beauty of our brand while making slight tweaks for a visually stunning sign.

An Art Deco Romance at the Raleigh Hotel Miami

Dalylah and Ben both hail from Dallas Texas but when deciding on their wedding location, they both had fallen in love with The Raleigh Hotel in Miami. We were stoked to come on board and help design their special day. We scoured South Beach to find the best suited vendors to pull off a southern influenced Miami wedding at the very art deco influenced hotel. The patterns were heavy and wild, paired with soft and romantic floral. It was a great combo! The couple were full of fun and just super laid back. I loved integrating a southern appeal with the gold longhorn skull and southern style messy cakes into the Miami setting. The couple shipped succulents to Florida which were prepared by designer to be given as favors to guests. Other details also included a custom cigar bar for groom and a map guestbook that highlights where they met, Dallas, where they married, Miami, and where they will move to start their life, Chicago. The weather was lovely all day and then it began to rain shortly before the beginning of the ceremony. We made some last minute changes and brought everyone under some beautiful white tenting. The rain didn’t let up until dinner was completed. Almost to the minute the rain stopped, the music began and everyone danced the night away. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!

A Colorful and Geo Inspired Styled Shoot

To kick off our beautiful new studio digs, we pulled together some friends and created this lovely color popping shoot. We DIY’d the gold glitter cans for a great splash of gold and paired a basic classic yellow linen with a funky runner and napkin set from Target. SCORE! A few Etsy purchases later and some great tye dye balloons and BAM, a beautiful inspiration is created that is totally doable for any inexpensive party setting! Enjoy!
