Donnie Brown Wedding & Events wowed us once again with this elegant sweetheart table design! This love scene was nothing less than amazing with his overhead floral installation and beautiful Mr. and Mrs. chairs from Gold Dust Vintage. Host Club Co. added the perfect touch with their hand-lettered signage and invitation suite while Posh Couture Rentals topped the table with stunning china and dinnerware. Delicious Cakes created an immaculate four-tiered cake decorated with the most beautiful paisley pattern and monogram. We couldn’t thank Tracy Autem Photography enough for capturing the beauty that this scene and The Adolphus Hotel had to offer. Cheers!

From the planner, Donnie Brown of Donnie Brown Weddings & Events: “Although many couples these days opt for a royal banquette table for themselves and their wedding party, often the more traditional sweetheart table can be utilized. When we do these, it becomes the focal point of the room, so we want to really make it shine. This table is all about the elevated rectangle of floral and crystals. The height is easily viewable from all parts of the room. And the stunning shapes, textures and sparkle will create a note of glam for the elegant wedding reception.”

In a strikingly contemporary shoot from 316 Design Source, Joseph Mark Photography highlights a clean yet moody scene that any bride looking for a dramatic touch will love. From its intimate outdoor space to its industrial interior, the Fashion Industry Gallery stood as the inspiration surrounding the tone of the day. 316 Design Source created the most elegant invites using hues of plum and chartreuse along with exquisite hand lettering from Golden Greys to complete the package. The outdoor altar scene utilized modern acrylic pieces that tied in perfectly with the artistically abstract bar scene and lounge settings inside. Golden Greys’ similar acrylic menu perfectly displayed the bites and cocktails to come from Kent Rathbun Catering. Posh Couture Rentals supplied luxe linens that were topped with modular blooms crafted by 316 Design Source. The model bride and bridesmaid fit the scene beautifully with their structured fashions along with hair and makeup by Grand Slam Glam. Finishing the bride’s look, she wore a shimmering ring set from The True Gem. Get this look for your wedding day by using crisp whites, striking metallics and daring furniture peices! Cheers!

From  316 Design Source: “Inspiration for us is everywhere and for this particular shoot we were really influenced by the FIG and everything the beautiful venue had to offer! After walking the space, we wanted to bring together clean modern lines with an elegant wedding feel to create a refined look for our contemporary bride.”

The classic and dreamy Castle at Rockwall Weddings and Events inspired this romantic fairytale soiree by Weddings by Stardust. Medieval yet enchanting was the style inspiration, brought to life by beautiful blue hues in every shade. Like a princess herself, the bride was styled in a couture Ysa Makino wedding gown from Molly’s Bridal Boutique with stunning hair and makeup by the oh-so-talented The Styling Stewardess. Dr. Delphinium Designs + Events went above and beyond creating the most immaculate long trailing bouquet and supplied the most perfect details such as silver goblets, candles and lanterns for the tablescape. Posh Couture Rentals provided the darling farm table and mismatched white chairs to go along with this setting, and Frosted Pink Cake Company designed a lovely four-tiered cake with blue and silver detailing. A huge thank you to Trisha Kay Photography for capturing all the romance of this styled shoot! Cheers!

From the planner, Laura Hendricks of Weddings by Stardust: “A classic, dreamy castle inspired this romantic fairytale shoot. A grand table fit for a king and queen was the center of design inspiration, paired with silver goblets, rich fruits and bountiful garlands that complemented the grand candelabra. Medieval yet enchanting was our style inspiration accompanied by beautiful blue hues in every shade. Soft and whimsical like a princess herself, our bride was styled in a couture Ysa Makino wedding gown with hand-made accessories by Paris by Debra Mooreland. Prince Charming in the form of a beautiful thoroughbred was my favorite part of the look!”

Rustic, fall-inspired, and oh-so-cozy… we couldn’t think of anything more fitting to share today than our Rustic Love editorial captured by Laylee Emadi Photography for the Fall/Winter issue! Shot at the breathtaking Hollow Hill Event Center nestled in the Texas countryside, our North Texas wedding pros set to work creating this woodsy inspiration. Fox and the Fleur arranged the most beautiful overflowing florals in dreamy autumn hues of mustard and merlot, which were complemented by the simplistic and earthy place setting Domain XCIV perfectly pieced together. Illustrated Weddings by Lola Lorena left us speechless with their detailed invitation suite featuring a custom illustration of the venue and die-cut trees in the card. Mouthwatering treats were a must for this styled shoot – Sugar Bee Sweets Bakery designed a darling two-tiered, textured cake, and Great One Cookie Company supplied their delicious chocolate chip cookies. The lovely couple, dressed cozy-chic in coordinating plaid for their portraits, were snuggled up tightly with hot cocoa and knit blankets. Our model bride-to-be looked stunning thanks to hair and makeup by the talented ladies at Grand Slam Glam, and The True Gem selected a stunning set of rings for the pair to wear! If this doesn’t have you craving pumpkin spice everything, we’re not sure what will! Cheers!

From the planner, Kerrie Smith of A Stylish Soiree: “I think brides forget sometimes to go outside of the box and use things in different ways! Most brides assume a table is to eat on, but there are so many other uses for a cool white modern table! I decided I wanted to show off a different way to incorporate a table, so I styled an altar. So often brides are afraid to use color, but fun colors really photograph well and make details pop.”

From the planner, Amanda Davis of Embrace The Day Events: “We love these jade green chairs and really wanted to play on the Pantone color of the year – greenery! Shades of greenery and jade, combined with black, white and rose gold, brought this moody, winter design to life. The dinner plate and delicate gold leaf glassware paired perfectly with the Diane chairs and farm table. With lush greenery and blooms and a stunning gown, you can’t go wrong. And how cute are these mini cakes? They would be perfect to add to each place setting as a treat for your guests.”

Kristin and Josh’s blush glam wedding was absolutely stunning thanks to planner extraordinaire Chic Fleur Wedding and Events  who helped make this bride’s dream wedding come true. Kristin was the epitome of soft glam in her custom Olvi illusion gown from Bridal Boutique which was tailored by Beside the Bride. Finishing her look, Grand Slam Glam gave her soft waves and striking makeup. Something Pretty Florals created the most stunning floral arch filled with roses and hydrangeas for the ceremony altar. Kristin’s bridesmaids were picture perfect standing beside the couple in mix-n-match pastel gowns from Bella Bridesmaids. We absolutely love the soft color palette and ballroom flair carried through into the reception, too. Thankfully Tracy Enoch Photography was there to capture these beautiful moments to share. Cheers the new Mr. and Mrs.!

Set the scene for a stylish and sophisticated outdoor cigar lounge! Guests will love grabbing a cocktail while enjoying a hand-rolled cigar. Shannon Rose Events set to work designing this unique and inspired scene for our Fall/Winter issue, and we were wowed by the result! The Milestone in Denton was the perfect venue for this preppy meets edgy styled shoot. Inspired by Propmaker’s emerald velvet sofa, Shannon brought the indoors outside utilizing a simple and classic color palette alongside the vibrant jewel tone. R Love Floral created the most lovely floral pieces adorning the black Havana bar Propmaker built just for the shoot. The model bride and groom looked striking in their attire from Pence & Panache Bridal & Tuxedo – the bride in a sweetheart neckline trumpet gown and the groom in a classic black tux. The bride’s hair and makeup by Randee Strand Artistry completed her high-end look. For the finishing touch, Sarah Ann Design designed a seriously stunning invitation suite giving all the preppy vibes. We can’t wait for brides to see all the chic details captured by Alba Rose Photography! It’s a must see!
