Can a client’s style be your spirit animal?! If so, I think mine would definitely be Sarah. From the moment we met, I knew that our collected wedding vision was completely parallel. I truly enjoyed every minute of our time together and this design for their Dallas Arboretum wedding. It was just so natural and she was open to pushing each and every boundary.
The ceremony took place in the woman’s garden of the Dallas Arboretum where Bows & Arrows hand crafted an altar of birch wood logs, twisted chiffon and loose greenery. Bridesmaids wore stunning gold lace assembles which perfectly complimented the bride’s gown with lace neckline and cap sleeves. Sarah wanted the day and night to feel organic, soft and romantic so we went with bare rustic tables, lush vessel free florals that almost felt to be growing from the tables. We kept the design clean and not overly busy so that the Degolyer House really shined as the showcase. The night was all about family style dining, fun with friends and enjoying their precious commitment. We are so honored and humbled to have been a part of Sarah and Chris’ Dallas Arboretum wedding.

Can I just say how much I love this team! Inspired by all that is garden, I wanted to bring together a modern approach at a garden styled setting. I love the clean, crisp look of slate gray furniture paired with wild foliage and simple white/silver dishware. We knocked it out of the park with the vibrant, rich colors and soft hand painted details in the cake and invitation suite.

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!
