Amber + Matt’s farm to table wedding at Hickory Street Annex

A beautiful event indeed! Behold a farm to table concept wedding! Amber and Matt’s adventurous spirits made this wedding a joy to be a part of. Tables were adorned with fresh veggies and fruits along with eclectic bottles of various floral stems. Then to top that, we did family style bread and cheese platters for guests to give a warm family style feel. We are in love with this wedding, and hope you enjoy as well!

Riley + Bryant’s sweet and Southern wedding

So excited to peek a little of this wedding! The ceremony was held at the Founders Chapel at White’s Chapel UMC with reception following at Los Portales, Joe T Garcia’s in Fort Worth. The couple were from North Carolina and my team had only met the bride once before the big day, so it was imperative to work hard to understand their desired vision. The bride’s mother, Kelly, works at Anthropologie and so many of the details were Anthro/BHLDN items. SWOON! Kelly designed most of the event along with help from our team and knew exactly the feel she wanted set. The palette was lovely of mint, robins egg blue, pale peaches, coral, orange, and pinks. Adorable details like a wishing well guestbook alternative, peach stand wedding favors, skeleton key escort tags, and tablescapes of clustered Anthropologie bottles with blooms, gold antlers and fabulous vintage books. This is a designers DREAM detailed wedding. Now to the good stuff! More photos coming soon!

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!!

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!
