As our one year anniversary approaches, I have been thinking back to our special day. I would say it was the best day of our lives, but we have had so many days since which I have loved even more, just enjoying each other and the blessing of marriage. Although it was a beautiful day and we got to spend it with so many of those we love, it does not compare to how much we enjoy our every day lives together! Marriage really has been such a blessing so far and I couldn’t ask for a greater man to be sharing it with. One of my biggest tips to those of you who are engaged or plan to be married in the future… don’t stress so much while planning! Enjoy every moment and focus more importantly on planning for a life-long marriage, because that is really what matters at the end of the day. Your wedding is over in a flash and then you have the marriage to look forward to!
I thought I would share some details of our Texas summer wedding! We had beautiful weather and my vision came to life, which is what every bride hopes for! Hope you enjoy! (All pictures taken by The Silhouette Studio, the rest of the vendors mentioned below)
I wanted a big flow-y tulle dress for this reason alone! To be able to spin around in all the layers. So fun! I got this dress at a boutique in Florida called Malindy Elene. The designer is Theia and the dress was strapless when I bought it. I loved the look of an illusion neckline so I had it custom made and added on. It made my dress so comfortable and I just loved the classic look it gave.

I wanted everything to be light and airy! Kind of how I like to decorate my home! (instagram: @thebloomingnest) So I chose light khaki suits and minty colored ties and dresses. (Bridesmaid Dresses and Necklaces: J.Crew, Suits: Jos. A Bank, Ties: Cheap-Neckties.com)
We got married at Olde Dobbin Station in Dobbin, Texas. The venue was beautiful! The florist added the green sprigs down the isle, and I designed the center backdrop. My dad brought my vision to life and built it for me! He’s the best! (screens on the side were borrowed from my friend Hannah http://thewhiteandwoodblog.com)
My friend Hayley designed our wedding programs! She is so talented.
The cutest flower girl and ring bearer I’ve ever seen, but I may be a little biased. (I promise he loves us ha!)
I wanted flowers to be the main focus of my wedding! I just knew that was how I wanted to bring color into the venue! Tricia Barksdale (Florist) made my vision come to life with so many pink peonies! I even brought a centerpiece with us on our honeymoon to enjoy!
I wanted something simple for both Brett’s cake and for mine. I went with swiss dot for my cake, because I was a little obsessed with everything swiss dot at the time. It is just so feminine and pretty. Brett’s cake was simply chocolate with cute little succulents added on top! (Cakes made by Sandee’s Sweets)
Me and my mom hand cut and stamped “yay” flags for everyone to wave as we left! Everyone naturally started to cheer “yay!”
It was definitely a night to remember and I had a blast looking back through pictures! You can find our wedding video made by our friends, and twin brothers, Ben and Cam Lowe Here!
