[ PUBLISHED ] Organic Summer Bridals

This organic summer bridal session with Matt & Julie Weddings was featured on Style Me Pretty earlier this month! A sexy two-piece bridal gown from Theia (crop tops + capes are my new favorite combo!) was paired with a lush and overflowing bouquet created by Andi of Bows & Arrows. Beauty wizard Tracy Melton topped off the look with a modern French braid and the final touch was an exquisite ring from Nan Lee Jewelry.

Emma & Ryan's Colorful Summer Wedding

Happy Wedding Wednesday, y'all! I'm so excited to finally share this vibrant May wedding beautifully captured by Ben Q Photography! When Emma approached me with her "English Garden Fiesta" wedding dreams, I was thrilled to jump on board. Emma and her sweet hubby Ryan had personal ties and lots of memories at Fort Worth Tex-Mex restaurant, Joe T. Garcia's, making it the perfect backdrop for their colorful summer affair. 

Keeping the attire classic, Emma complimented her Vera Wang gown with all white bridesmaids and gorgeous bouquets by Kate Foley Designs in a riot of color. After a morning ceremony at Marty Leonard Chapel guests headed to Joe T's for delicious margaritas, fajitas and plenty of dancing. Unique details included a mariachi band and two caricature artists who created custom portraits as favors for the guests.

Short, full tulle skirts were paired with sheer crop tops and elegant bodices carefully constructed with barely there embellishments compliments soft, flowing skirts. The 2016 Stardust Collection was truly magical!
