Jolene + Kevin | Nasher Sculpture Garden

Jolene and Kevin’s modern outdoor wedding took place under the stars at Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, a museum in the heart of the Dallas Arts District.  This museum is one of the coolest spots in town, and was a perfect fit for New York natives, Jolene and Kevin and their contemporary vibe.  The ceremony took place in the outdoor amphitheater (this setup was a first for the Nasher!!).  Guests sat upon hand-dyed fabric cushions custom made by the bride and her mother. Hanging blooms in white paired with a twinkling lit altar towered over the the bride and groom as they stood atop a vibrant kilim rug.  A flawless match for this uber-chic bride, Jolene’s maids wore stunningly sleek gowns in pure white.  After the ceremony, guests were transported to a magical garden reception where they dined under café lights, surrounded by stunning architecture and exquisitely manicured gardens.  The couple’s elegant cake display featured a trio of crisp, modern cakes adorned with vibrant floral and a hand-dyed bottom tier in shades of blue.  Guests danced the night away under the stars, and right before their big exit at the end of the night, the bride surprised everyone by changing into a super fun black sequin jumpsuit!  We thoroughly enjoyed planning an event capturing Jolene and Kevin’s fabulous style and vibrant energy.

Jessica + Jonathan | Private Estate

Being a San Diego native, Jessica was excited to see someone with a towel depicting the California flag also enjoying her apartment’s pool. “Are you from California?” Jessica asked. “No, but that towel is,” replied Jonathan. Of course this led to multiple conversations since they lived in the same complex that eventually led to an exchange of phone numbers. After a surprise beachside proposal, the pair agreed Jessica’s parents’ estate in Burleson, TX was the perfect place for their October wedding. Going for a timeless look, the bridesmaids and groomsmen were dressed in black with pops of deep berry hues in the bouquets and boutonnieres. The bride was perfection in her lace dress from De Ma Fille, Chanel shoes, and delicate updo. Her elegant veil completed her look and was passed down from her sister. Holding an arrangement made of dahlia, hellebore, garden roses and hydrangea, Jessica met her groom in front of a pair of beautiful oaks. The two said their “I Do’s” and there was not a dry eye to be found.

From the twinkling lights above the dance floor to the gold chargers and romantic flowers, guests were immediately drawn to the reception space. Personal touches from the bride and groom could be seen everywhere – in the photo wrapped tree and the Star Wars themed cigar bar. After feasting on gourmet burgers and grilled cheese, family and friends could either head to the dance floor or hit up the photo booth.

Their elegant naked cake featured three flavors: Italian creme, strawberry, and chocolate. This made it impossible to chose and left many loved ones going back for seconds. Rather than a traditional send off, Jonathan and Jessica opted for a midnight toast and continued to dance the night away. One could not ask for a sweeter couple!
