Hannah + Matthew

Hannah and Matthew’s beautiful November wedding was the perfect celebration for the sweetest couple! After spending the day getting ready with her bridesmaids, Hannah and Matthew shared a first look at DCC before leaving for their ceremony at Highland Park United Methodist where they were married in front of family and friends. After the ceremony, the newlyweds joined their guests back at DCC for their reception. The DCC ballroom was impeccably set up thanks to some beautiful pieces by Perch. We especially love the round bar, complete with the white tree by Garden Gate, which served as the perfect focal point to the room. Along with the bar, we also loved the mirrored stage facade paired with the white dance floor-the perfect spot for guests to dance and enjoy the Georgia Bridgewater Band! In addition to Perch’s beautiful rentals, Garden Gate’s flowers made a gorgeous addition to the ballroom. Keeping flowers in the white and pale pink hues was both classic and elegant-especially with the soft candlelight mixed in throughout the space. We also loved Garden Gate’s entry table-a beautiful arrangement paired with pale green and white ginger jars and lucite framed pictures of the newlyweds. After dinner, guests enjoyed the Bride and Groom’s cakes, both Panini Bakery. The Bride’s cake featured five tiers of white iced cake with a cascading flowers down the front in the same colors as seen throughout the reception. The Groom’s cake was three tiers and simply decorated with chocolate icing and chocolate covered strawberries. After dancing away to the Georgia Bridgewater Band, Hannah and Matthew exited their reception with a rose petal toss before hopping into a waiting white Rolls Royce.

Congrats, Hannah and Matthew!

Ann-Blair + Ryan

Ann-Blair and Ryan’s beautiful November wedding was an intimate celebration that we loved being a part of! After a ceremony in front of family at Christ the King Church, the newlyweds and their families gathered in the Penthouse Suite at the Stoneleigh for an evening celebration. The reception area was made even more gorgeous by Garden Gate’s flowers. Opting for a clean and classic look, the assorted flowers were in white hues with pops of green accented throughout the arrangements. The flowers added the perfect elegant touch to the reception space. For dessert, guests were treated to the Bride’s cake, by Susie Cakes. The three-tiered cake was simply decorated with white flowers, perfectly matching the other theme in the room. DJ Andy Austin was on hand for the evening and kept the party in full swing! After a rose petal send off, Ann-Blair and Ryan exited their reception. We loved getting to play a part in this sweet couple’s wedding and wish them so much happiness! Congrats, Ann-Blair and Ryan!

Katie + David Rehearsal Dinner

After rehearsing before their big day, Katie and David joined family and friends for their rehearsal dinner at The Filter Building at White Rock Lake. Thanks to the perfect fall evening, guests were able to mingle for a cocktail hour outdoors before going inside for the festivities! Because the Filter Building is minimally decorated, the space is perfect for those wanting to create exactly what they envision for their gathering. The beautiful linens by La Tavola, filled with earth tones, were a beautiful addition to the space and was the perfect compliment to the bright coral, green and white florals. A special detail that we love for both rehearsal dinners and weddings was the addition of the couple’s new monogram on linen napkins, placed at the head table. Katie and David’s monogram, done in a dusty blue, drew out the blue from the lines and perfectly tied the table together. Along with the rustic elements of the lanterns, chairs and vases, every detail tied together beautifully to create a unique look inside the Filter Building. The space proved to be the perfect spot to celebrate before Katie and David’s big day and certainly was an unforgettable start to a perfect weekend!

Jordan + Greg

Jordan and Greg’s wedding weekend was the most fun celebration of this sweet couple! Even while living in New York, Jordan was very involved in the planning of her wedding weekend in Dallas-no detail was overlooked. After mass at St. Rita’s, friends and family were transported to the Belo Pavilion for the reception. Because of the beautiful fall weather, guests enjoyed cocktail hour outside. For their guest’s entertainment during cocktail hour, Jordan and Greg (who are both Notre Dame alums) had Notre Dame themed Jenga and Cornhole placed on the patio outside. After cocktail hour, guests went into the ballroom for first dances, toasts and a beautiful seated dinner. The ballroom was decorated in hues of white with pops of gold and, our favorite, a pop of red at the head table and on various rentals. A gorgeous halo was positioned above the white, monogrammed dance floor and the stage was flanked by two white trees. After first dances and touching toasts by the father of the bride, the maid of honor and best man, guests enjoyed a delicious seated dinner with the Bride and Groom’s cakes for dessert. The Bride’s cake, by Dallas Affaires, was six tiers and decorated simply with flowers and the couple’s monogram in gold. The groom’s cake, by Panini Bakery, was an homage to the couple’s love for their alma matter. The Jordan Kahn Band was fantastic like always and kept the dance floor packed all night. After leading guests to a final song, “Piano Man”, Jordan and Greg were led out the Belo with a rose petal send off. After hopping into her dad’s jeep, decorated fittingly with a Notre Dame flag, Jordan and Greg departed their unforgettable wedding reception.

Our team had so much fun planning Jordan and Greg’s wedding weekend! Special thanks to all the vendors who contributed to make the weekend a success.

Lynne + Chase

Lynne and Chase’s beautiful August wedding was such a fun evening filled with love for this sweet couple! After meeting in a small group at Highland Park Presbyterian Church, it was only fitting that the two were married in the sanctuary of the same church. After saying their “I Do’s” in front of friends and family, the newlyweds and their guests headed to Dallas Country Club for a night of dinner and dancing! Flourish Floral Design’s flowers at DCC were perfect for a late summer wedding-ivory and white arrangements, with pops of pink and green, were displayed throughout the ballroom and added such an elegant touch to the wedding reception. We particularly loved the detail of the mirrored tables with flowers and candles scattered on top-it created such an elegant touch to the ballroom. After touching first dances with each other and their families, guests were treated to an array of stations serving delicious food with the Bride and Groom’s cakes by Panini Bakery serving as dessert. The Bride’s cake was a stunning seven-tier creation decorated simply with bright flowers and the couple’s monogram in a pale blue. The Groom’s cake served as an homage to Chase’s college days playing football at Georgia Tech-with the perfect addition of a yellow jacket right next to his cake! After dinner, it was time for the dancing. The Special Edition band kept the dance floor packed all evening and helped make the night unforgettable for Lynne, Chase and their guests. As the evening winded down, guests were treated to freshly made donuts by Lil’ Bits Mini Donuts which was the perfect sweet treat before heading home. Lynne and Chase left their reception in a sea of rose petals before hopping into a vintage Bentley decorated with flowers and a “Just Married sign”. We had the best time helping Lynne and Chase plan their wedding-thanks to all the vendors who came together to make the evening such a success!

Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Elizabeth + Jared

Elizabeth and Jared’s summer wedding was such a joy! This sweet couple were married at Perkins Chapel with a reception following at DCC. We loved Elizabeth’s classic wedding gown and her summer-friendly ponytail with complete with a delicate white flower. In keeping with a fresh, summer look, Garden Gate designed beautiful white flower arrangements accented with greenery throughout DCC. One detail we especially loved was the garland of flowers cascading down the head table-a beautiful twist that served as a focal point in the ballroom! The five-tier bride’s cake by Dallas Affaires was simply decorated with gardenias and was as delicious as it was beautiful. Signed, Sealed Delivered kept guests dancing throughout the night and created the most fun party celebrating the newlyweds! After exiting their party in a sea of rose petals, the couple hopped into a decorated golf cart. Thanks so much to all the vendors who helped make this night such a success-and to John Cain’s team for the gorgeous pictures!

Congrats, Elizabeth and Jared!

Abbie + James

Abbie and James’ gorgeous wedding was the perfect way for our team to kick off the summer! This sweet couple and their families are so fun and we had a blast from the early days of planning to their departure. The evening kicked off with a touching ceremony at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church where the couple exchanged vows in front of close friends and family. After the ceremony, guests headed to the Crescent for a cocktail hour before moving into the ballroom for a seated dinner. Garden Gate’s florals in hues of cream and white created a timeless and elegant look throughout the room, which paired beautifully with the french blue details in seen in the menu cards. The bride’s cake, created by the Crescent, featured five tiers decorated beautifully with white and blue flowers cascading down the side. The groom’s cake, by Susie Cakes, was a little more playful-and featured a layer for each of the couple’s dogs. Emerald City did an incredible job, as evidenced by the pictures, and had all guests up and dancing throughout the entire evening. As guests left the reception, dog bones were given as gifts for their four legged friends at home! The newlyweds departed with a sparkler sendoff surrounded by their friends and family. This evening was so fun celebrating Abbie and James and we wish them a lifetime of happiness!

Sarah + Matt

Sarah and Matt’s May wedding was such a beautiful celebration for the sweetest and most fun couple! After their ceremony at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church, the newlywed’s friends and family gathered for a gorgeous reception at Northwood Country Club, beginning with a cocktail hour outside. One of our favorite features seen in the cocktail hour area was the escort card shelf. The gold shelf was beautifully dressed up with candles and pops of large, bright pink peonies in various designs of gold vases. After cocktails, guests filed into the ballroom for a seated dinner and an evening of dancing. The ballroom looked absolutely beautiful thanks to the florals by Jackson Durham. In springtime hues of green and pink, the arrangements were both timeless and stunning-certainly creating a “wow” factor in the ballroom. The head table, beautifully draped with a gold tablecloth, was also accented with monogrammed napkins in the couple’s new initials. We love this trend, as the napkins are such a special keepsake for the newlyweds after the wedding reception. After first dances and a seated dinner, guests were treated to two delicious cakes by Frosted Art Bakery. The Bride’s cake featured four tiers of cake in a variety of flavors, simply decorated with a white lace pattern, a few gardenias and the couple’s monogram. The Groom’s cake was a classic design of chocolate with strawberries-with an added twist of having blocks of chocolate around the cake serve as an homage to Matt. Elements such as a gavel-as the groom is a lawyer-and the University of Texas logo added a playful twist to an otherwise classic Groom’s cake. After cake cutting, the Ice House Band invited guests to the dance floor to start the party! As Sarah and Matt’s wedding fell on Cinco de Mayo, sombreros were passed around the dance floor as well as plenty of glow in the dark necklaces and tambourines. As an added treat, freshly fried donuts were outside waiting for guests as Sarah and Matt made their exit between a line of sparklers!

Congrats, Sarah & Matt! We loved getting to work with you both on your special day!

Leigh + Brent

Leigh and Brent’s beautiful spring wedding was the perfect night celebrating this sweet couple! Not letting a rainy day get in the way, Leigh her bridesmaids spent the morning getting ready wearing matching Mi Golondrina dresses and taking pictures outside with matching clear umbrellas. After their first look, Leigh and Brent took photos with their wedding parties and families before the ceremony began. After their “I Do’s”, guests headed to Northwood Club for the reception! Garden Gate Floral drew inspiration from the springtime weather and created beautiful arrangements of white and cream flowers with pops of coral and peach. The most stunning design came from a floral arrangement which hung over the head table, complete with candles cascading down. The stunning design featured the same colors from the wedding flowers and was the perfect element to tie the reception together! Guests were treated to some incredible food, including a sushi station complete with an ice sculpture featuring the newlywed’s initials. For dessert, Panini bakery created the beautiful bride’s cake which was simply decorated with coral flowers and a script design. Dallas Affaires created the groom’s cake which featured a vintage BMW and a license plate with the groom’s last name!

We loved getting to play a part in your beautiful wedding weekend!

Whitney + Bennett

Whitney and Bennett’s beautiful wedding certainly put us in the Christmas spirit! After the newlyweds said “I Do” in a beautiful ceremony at Highland Park Presbyterian Church, the couple joined their friends and family at Brook Hollow Golf Club for a festive and fun celebration. Opting for a neutral color palette with pops of gold, Garden Gate Floral executed Whitney’s vision perfectly-the classic ivory and white flowers were made festive with gold details and plenty of candlelight. Over the couple’s gold monogram on the dance floor, Garden Gate constructed a dramatic and gorgeous halo which was certainly the focal point of the ballroom. As guests noshed on Brook Hollow’s great food, Signed Sealed Delivered started the party with a first dance by the newlyweds, followed by dances with the bride’s father and groom’s mother. After dinner and dances, Whitney and Bennett cut their beautiful bride’s cake done by Panini Bakery. Perfectly in season, lit Christmas trees glowed in the background, adding to the festive touch of the evening. In lieu of a groom’s cake, the couple opted for an ice cream sundae bar. As the party continued into the evening, guests were treated to an array of party favors for the dance floor including boas and glow rings. As with any great departure, Whitney and Bennett were led out by the horn section of Signed Sealed Delivered, where they were promptly covered in a sea of white flutterfetti! Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Shaw-we loved working with you and your sweet families! Thanks to Carter Rose at F8 Studio for the amazing photos and all the vendors who helped make the night such a success!

Ellen + Bob

here’s so much to love with Ellen and Bob’s December wedding! Opting for a morning wedding with a festive brunch to celebrate, Ellen’s tea length dress was an absolutely perfect choice for the day. The beautiful Rosewood Mansion Hotel in Dallas served as the site for both the ceremony and reception. The ceremony space was decorated simply, with GRO Floral’s beautiful cross serving as the focal point and the most perfect place for Ellen and Bob to say their vows. GRO’s pale pink, green and white arrangements throughout the ceremony and reception were accentuated with pops of cranberry peonies-an absolutely gorgeous combination that was both classic and festive for the holiday season. After the ceremony, guests were treated to a delicious and festive brunch. The same color palette was used throughout the reception space, accented by beautiful china and candle light. While the Jordan Kahn Orchestra played in the background, guests ate and celebrated the happy couple! The Bride’s cake, by Panini Bakery, was decorated simply with beautiful white and cranberry peonies, white roses, and touches of green-the perfect accent to the room.

Emily + Woody

Emily and Woody were married on a beautiful October evening at Christ the King with a reception afterwards at Dallas Country Club. Emily chose a royal blue hue to be used throughout the evening: from invitations, printed products and bridesmaid dresses, this gorgeous blue was the perfect accent color to pair with the bright flowers and the elegant space at DCC. After a touching ceremony, guests departed for Dallas Country Club to enjoy a perfect evening of dinner and dancing! Garden Gate’s gorgeous flowers added a the perfect colorful touch to the space-Emily opted for flowers in hues of hot pink, green and blue to be used around the ballroom. As guests entered the club, they were invited to write notes of love and support to the couple that would be placed in bottles and be opened up throughout the years of Emily and Woody’s marriage. After first dances, Jordan Kahn started the party and kept the dance floor packed through the evening! Guests were also treated to two delicious (and beautiful!) cakes: the bride’s by Dallas Affaires and the groom’s by Fancy Cakes by Lauren.

Sarah + Bailey

Sarah and Bailey were married on a beautiful October evening at First Baptist in downtown Dallas with their reception close by at Eddie Deen’s Ranch! One of our favorite elements from this wedding are the gorgeous florals by Garden Gate Dallas. From the beautiful blue and white arch at the ceremony to the beautiful white trees at the reception, the flowers made such an impact and helped create a beautiful setting to celebrate this sweet couple. One detail we especially loved was the rack towards the entrance of Eddie Deen’s Ranch where the flower girls hung their kissing balls-such a creative way to transition ceremony flowers over to the reception. To honor how Sarah and Bailey met (on the dating app, Coffee Meets Bagel), the dessert table had an assortment of bagels complete with a donut wall full of Mustang Donuts. In addition to the bagels and donuts, mini pies and the Groom’s cake were also placed on the table. For her Bride’s cake, Sarah opted for a simply designed, four-tier white cake from Stein’s Bakery. On top sat an antique bride & groom piece, adding a special touch to the beautiful cake. After guests dined on BBQ, the Breckenridge Band played some country music favorites which were enjoyed by everyone. After their reception, the newlyweds departed in a white, horse drawn carriage!

We loved getting to partake in this couple’s special day! Congrats, Sarah and Bailey!

Blakeley + Sam

Blakeley and Sam’s stunning wedding ceremony and reception at DCC was one of our favorites this year! Blakeley’s vision of a “garden style” wedding and reception was perfectly executed thanks to a handful of talented and creative vendors. Outside on the lawn, Todd Fiscus designed an amazing floral arch that was the focal point of the space. Decorated with an array of flowers in various shades of pink and orange, the arch set the stage for the remainder of the evening. As guests walked to the ceremony space, they were greeted with gorgeous programs designed by Papellerie out of Houston, as well as glasses of champagne. After the ceremony, guests walked into the DCC ballroom which had been completely transformed with the help of gorgeous wooden arches, custom bar and stage facades, a white dance floor and plenty of incredible flowers.

Printed menus by Ellis Hill were placed at each seat, while the head tables featured white, linen napkins with the couple’s new monogram.

In addition to the delicious menu selections they served at the reception, Ashley and Steve continued the Wake Forest theme throughout the east annex of the club with food from one of their favorite “late night” restaurants at Wake Forest.

Since the couple has travelled all over the world, in place of the traditional Bride’s Book, they chose for their guests to write notes of best wishes and congratulations on postcards from some of their favorite travels.

Following their honeymoon in Grand Cayman, Ashley and Steve have settled in Philadelphia to start their new life together. We wish Ashley and Steve many years of happiness!

Masten – Harris

Dan and Jenny met in March 2010 at an event benefitting the victims of the Haitian earthquake. Jenny was talking with her college roommate who Dan happened to know. Dan came up and introduced himself to Jenny and the spark was instant, the banter was witty, and they quickly discovered a common sense of humor. Dan had to do some work to get Jenny’s number, but as they say, the rest is history! Dan proposed in the summer of 2012 at Caruth Park, where the two spend many nights playing tennis, walking their dog Dudley, and enjoying nice evenings. He pulled off the proposal without Jenny ever suspecting a thing, having flown to Midland the week before to ask her parent’s permission. The proposal was complete with Dan on one knee, a few tears, a lot of smiles and of course Dudley’s blessing!
Family and friends danced to “Inside Out” and enjoyed the usual delicious food at Dallas Country Club. Guests drove away with hot French fries from Whataburger as they relived the incredible evening!
