Real Wedding: Tropical, Colorful Same Sex Surprise Wedding in Dallas

March 14, 2019
Real Weddings

When Chad and Rich came to us with their ideas for a surprise wedding, we were THRILLED because there’s really nothing better than planning two parties in one! Guests received invitations to celebrate Chad’s graduation from nursing school (such a great thing to celebrate!) and found themselves participating in a wedding ceremony halfway through the party. We decided on a tropical luau theme for the false front. It was a great day and it included wardrobe changes, entertainment, and general misdirection!

The Party

As guests arrived, they were greeted by hula dancers and supplied with leis. A polaroid camera and a guest book gave guests the opportunity to take photos as if just arriving in Hawaii after a long flight. Inside, we included fun palm patterned linens, bright island blossoms, tropical beverages served in coconut cups, and a buffet spread that included a whole roasted pig! Our cake was a bit of a double-blind – the topper declared ‘Finally!’, referencing not only Chad’s long journey through nursing school but also the couple’s steadfast relationship and commitment to one another.

The Switch

We invited guests to be seated to enjoy the hula performance on stage. While our dancers distracted the guests, Chad and Rich slipped downstairs to change into their ceremony outfits. As the hula dancers completed their show, the couple processed down the aisle with the officiant. Surprise! It’s a wedding!

Real Wedding: Romantic Dusty Blue and White Wedding Inspiration

February 2, 2019
Real Weddings

We still dream of this romantic wedding that is so light and airy, it’s as if it was held on a cloud! The all white venue, dusty blue accents and fresh greenery all came together perfectly for Ashley & Parker’s vision. Of course, they had a hand in that as they built their own venue! The Grand Ivory has become a very popular wedding venue near McKinney and the DFW Metroplex. The open air, outdoor chapel overlooking the pond combines with a beautiful barn to makes anyone who sees it swoon. Their wedding played up all the design-strengths of their venue and their photographer, Tenth & Grace, captured the sweet details of their special day.

Getting Ready

Of course, we have to start with the super cute cottages for the couple to get ready in! The all white cottage is perfection for brides and the sweet light blue cottage is perfect for her groom. And who can resist an outdoor swing on a covered porch?

Ashley’s colors paired perfectly with these buildings, from the dresses to the invitation suite. (We love the hand drawn picture of the venue on the invitations!)

Her bouquet was perfection with the gorgeous peonies and touches of blue from thistles and delphinium.

The Ceremony

Those chapel doors were such a great entrance and we loved how the ceremony was decorated simply with greenery.

The Reception

After the ceremony, guests were guided into the reception and throughout with a custom seating chart featuring the venue drawing, along simple and cute signs from the welcome table to the bar.

During cocktail hour, the wedding party snuck away to the beautiful brick archways on the property (which can be used for an outdoor ceremony) to capture some fun shots and elegant portraits.

We loved how the photographer also took time to capture all the little details, from jewelry to centerpieces of this wedding.

Farm tables, white wood cross back chairs and dusty blue linens with simple floral and candle centerpieces created a soft and romantic feel for their reception.

Our acrylic cake stand had the bridal cake appearing to float on air!

A fun time was had by all as they saw the sun set during dinner and danced the night away. With the perfect vintage blue ford limo to complement their theme, Ashley & Parker left that evening as the first couple to get married at their venue, setting the standard with this gorgeous affair!

Real Wedding: Urban Industrial Wedding in Burgundy, Navy, and Gold with Succulents & Geometric Elements

Natalie and Stephen’s wedding was super fun to design and plan, because it reflected on them as a couple so well! Fun-loving, go with the flow, and eclectic, the couple brought together guests from all over the country for an unexpectedly chilly night of revelry.

Private Wedding

But first, we bring you something entirely different. 🙂 Natalie and Stephen had a private ceremony for their immediate family a few months before the wedding, and the photos are filled with such unadulterated JOY. Tell me this isn’t exactly how you want to feel on your wedding day!

Ceremony

When it came time to celebrate with all their family and friends, Natalie and Stephen recouped their joy-filled day in Fort Worth. The ceremony was full of personal touches, from a song performed by the groom’s sister to readings from their wedding party. After the stroll down the aisle, it was time to party!

The Reception

We focused on bringing in warm textures, geometric touches, and deep colors when it came to the look and feel of the design. The bouquets were large and lush, with gorgeous burgundy blooms for color. The couple adores succulents and air plants, so we made those a big part of our tabletop décor as well as the favor for guests to take home at the end of the night. Warm candlelight welcomed guests to communal tables, and food trucks kept everyone on their toes throughout the evening. A big dance party finished off the night!

Details and Photos We Love

Just a few more… I loved the vintage postcards as the guest book, the cake shipped in from their favorite bakery in New York, and the rooftop sunset photos!

Real Wedding: Lush Burgundy + Cream Floral, for the love of Greenery and Candles

December 2, 2018
Real Weddings

Alex & Jay came to us with their chosen wedding color theme, using grey, burgundy + cream. Their December wedding was at one of the top McKinney wedding venues, Stone Crest Venue. We were thrilled to help them create their vision and plan out all the details. From candles and greenery galore, to little hints of bling, and of course the pop of burgundy in the floral and bridesmaid dresses everything came together seamlessly.

The pergola was stunning, decorated with fresh greenery and beautiful burgundy and crème floral. The white draping gave it the perfect elegant touch for the ceremony.

While the ladies and gentlemen dressed (check out the cute floral robes the ladies had), the reception was created. The tables were adorned in simple linens of grey and lush centerpieces of continuous burgundy and cream blooms with lots of loose greenery and candles!

Details on the head table made it a show stopper for guests, including the fun gold acrylic names marking each place for guests at the head table. We fell in love with the taper candles in gold candlesticks placed along the garland down the center of the table.

One of our favorite pieces was the gold-painted wooden monogram, which hung on the fireplace amid all the greenery and floral for all to see during the reception. We love that Alex & Jay now have this to hang on their wall at home.

After the ceremony, the party was on! With dinner and dancing, guests enjoyed the fun musical talents of In10City band. They also checked out the fabulous firepit and game area Stone Crest has hidden below the ceremony site.

Topping it all off, they exited through sparklers to a fabulous vintage 1937 Packard Touring Sedan to make their getaway. What a way to exit in style!

Real Wedding: Indoor Garden Wedding with Earth Tones + Pops of Light Pink

November 20, 2018
Real Weddings

Megan & Mathieu came to us with their garden wedding at the stunning Dallas venue, Marie Gabrielle. While they did have quite a bit of their outdoor wedding already planned out, Dallas had different plans that day. We had to move nature indoors when it decided to pour down rain the day of the wedding. The earth tone colors with pops of light pink and lush greenery were spread throughout the décor. The challenge was being able to achieve the feeling of being outside in a garden!

The Ceremony

We decided that a partial room flip was the best way to achieve the look they wanted, but not cut into our reception time. Marie Gabrielle has sliding windowed doors that can be opened to look out on part of the garden with beautiful string lights to make it feel as if you were under the stars. We chose to open those doors and build the floral ceremony arch from Garden Gate Floral Design in the doorway. While we weren’t actually outside, those doors being open allowed for the natural ambiance during ceremony. Plus the Garden Gate was a huge factor in making this now indoor wedding, a garden.

The Reception

And they’re married! WOO! Once the recessional was complete we, the lovely staff of Marie Gabrielle and Each & Every Detail team, quickly began moving guest chairs to make that area our dance floor. Since we did a partial flip the tables were also basically set in their places to the left of the pictures above. After we have the chairs out of the space, Brian Prescott with Leforce Entertainment, who already had his DJ table set, was able to move into the space, plug in, and go!

We wanted to incorporate the same natural feeling of the ceremony into the reception. Garden Gate Floral brought in tree bark vases, ran lovely garland down our restoration hardware table, and adding a natural feel to our low lush arrangements with some loose floral pieces. The vases added a fun detail to the table without detracting from the natural elements. With soft lighting and the view into the garden, it definitely felt like you were attending a garden wedding!

Overall, this was just a stunning wedding for a wonderful couple. Rain does not ruin your day, it just gives us an opportunity to be more creative with a different space and bring nature indoors! Plus look at all these amazing photos the couple were able to take!

It was an absolute pleasure to help Megan and Mathieu plan their Dallas Indoor Garden Wedding!
