Nathan and Hayley couldn’t have asked for more beautiful day for their November wedding. The Brooks at Weatherford  venue provided a picturesque backdrop for their big day.

Hayley decided on a palette of neutrals with pops of raspberry coming from the bridesmaids’ gowns. The lovely bride walked down the aisle in a stunning dress with sweetheart neckline and flowing train with a lace overlay.  The bouquets were filled with whites and eucalyptus and touches a pale pink. Tables were the epitome of elegance with gold chargers and flatware. Gold vases held gorgeous greenery centerpieces with delicate hints of white and the head table’s runner of lush greenery, white blooms and candle light stole the show.

Family and friends got busy on the dance floor with Royal Dukes Entertainment before getting a slice of the four tier, flower-accented cake from Creme De La Creme Bakery.

Thanks to Matt and Julie Weddings for capturing these special images.

Melodie + Will’s sweet and Southern wedding

After touring Rustic Grace Estates in Van Alstyne, Texas, Melodie and Will could not imagine a place more perfect for their spring nuptials. Sitting on 25 acres, the estate not only showcases a quintessential white chapel but also a charming 1920s red barn.

Melodie’s hair was in an elegant up-do with delicate floral detail so that the gorgeous back of the her gown could be seen. Arrangements of greenery looked beautiful against the grey of the bridesmaids dresses, while Will was able to match his tie to the pop of sunflower yellow in Melodie’s bouquet.

After an intimate ceremony in the chapel, guests headed to the barn for the reception. Inside, guests could treat themselves to the popcorn bar or strike a pose in the photo booth. However, many found the dessert display to be extremely photo worthy. A variety of delicious donuts from the Donut Kitchen displayed on an array of white cake stands, framed by a beautifully, hand-written, bible verse from Pretty Post Calligraphy and greenery swag. Whether they were inside dancing, or outside playing cornhole, family and friends had a wonderful time celebrating this sweet couple.

Amanda + Nick | The Milestone

dallas-wedding-planner-the-milestone-grit-and-gold-anna-smith-photography21

You only need to turn onto the entrance of the Milestone to understand why Nick and Amanda picked this venue for their special day.  The beautiful white mansion, rustic red barn, and towering oaks in Aubrey, Texas are more than enough to make anyone swoon.

Walking into the Grand Foyer, guests were greeted with vintage handkerchiefs just in case they were overwhelmed with tears of joy during the ceremony. In lieu of a traditional guestbook, friends and family were asked to write down their favorite verse found in the family bible.

Looking quite debonair in a navy suit that perfectly matched the bridesmaids, Nick awaited his bride at the end of the aisle.  Amanda wore her hair in a glamorous up-do to highlight the sheer back of her beautiful dress. Accompanied by her father, the two walked down the greenery-adorned aisle to meet her groom. Standing in front of the 20-foot window wall with elegant ivory drapes, the couple said their “I Dos.”

After the ceremony, guest moseyed over to the barn for drinks, dinner, and dancing. Centerpieces of celosia, viburnum, amaryllis, and hanging amaranths continued the theme of deep berry hues and popped against the champagne overlays.  Hanging lights and crystal chandeliers lit up the dance floor while the band played under the LOVE marquee.

After elegant toasts from both families left everyone reaching for their handkerchiefs, it was time for cake.  A 3-tiered naked cake decorated in roses, astilbe, and privet berries stole the show while the Texas-shaped groom’s cake showcased the couple’s adorable puppy.

While loved ones lined up for a sparkler farewell, the new Mr. & Mrs. were able to steal one last dance alone. #LoveBrauchtThemTogether

Villa Inspired Bride and Maids Shoot

I have been swooning over these images for months now and FINALLY get to show them off! Our team designed this tabletop concept for The Brides of North Texas’ Fall/Winter issue that hit the stands today! I am so proud to have worked alongside some of the most talented people in the business to bring this concept to life. Our design was inspired by the architecture of this private residence, a Charles Dilbeck designed estate originally built in 1938. Check out our images and of course the behind the scenes video by Splendor Films below.
