A Love Story Years in the Making
Some love stories feel like they were written in the stars, and this one proves it. These two first locked eyes back in middle school, young crushes that blossomed into something unforgettable. Life took them in different directions after graduation, but fate had its own timeline. After reuniting post-college, their story picked right back up where it left off. On Thanksgiving Day, during a family photo just before the Cowboys game, he dropped to one knee and gave her a proposal moment that perfectly blended intimacy, family, and celebration.
Designing a Romantic Garden Dream
The wedding aesthetic was lovingly described as “Anthropologie meets Bridgerton”, romantic yet modern, timeless yet playfully polished. Guests were welcomed into a garden-inspired celebration brimming with lush florals in a sunshiney lemon sorbet palette (the bride’s favorite color), softened with blush, coral, butter yellow, and lavender accents. Every corner felt intentional, dreamy, and editorial-worthy, capturing the couple’s personality with elegance and charm.
Fashion and Heartfelt Ceremony Touches
The bridal party wowed in mix-and-match Birdy Grey gowns, flowing in shades of pastel yellow chiffon and satin. It was fresh, modern, and perfectly aligned with the editorial feel of the day. But what truly made guests tear up was a ceremony detail no one saw coming. Just before she walked down the aisle, a surprise voiceover played of the bride herself, reciting her vows. It was raw, heartfelt, and unforgettable, a moment that beautifully set the tone for their new chapter together.
A Celebration Full of Flavor and Fun
From start to finish, the guest experience was a highlight. Cocktail hour featured a lavish charcuterie spread and passed bites, while late-night cravings were satisfied with a Baskin-Robbins ice cream bar. For dessert, the couple ditched the traditional groom’s cake and served up nostalgic favorites: mini pecan pies, red velvet shooters, banana pudding, and cheesecake doozies. And because every detail mattered, the bride even hand-glued pearls onto a champagne bottle for the cake table, a sparkling DIY touch that was equal parts sentimental and chic.
