Dallas Arboretum Spring Wedding

Long has the Dallas Arboretum been one of my favorite places in the city.  In March, "Dallas Blooms" occurs which basically means that the entire location erupts with azalea, tulip, wisteria, and hydrangea blooms...it's fairly breath-taking. 
A Woman's Garden has always been my favorite spot when imagining a garden wedding, it's formal and modern but still lush and green - and the water features are soothing and peaceful.  Here's my fashion-take on what a spring wedding in A Woman's Garden would look like:

A Nasher Sculpture Center Wedding

Nasher Sculpture Center Wedding


 I visited the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas for the first time a few nights ago and it definitely inspired me! At night the lights of the neighboring skyscrapers provide an exciting urban surrounding to this sophisticated and artful oasis. I wanted to choose dresses that would compliment the modern sculptures throughout the garden, and this Vera Wang gown (called Fiona) has been on my short list of dream dresses for a while. Next time you're in Dallas I would definitely recommend stopping by this arts district staple for a peaceful respite from the city!

Nice Day for a White Wedding

This intimate yet grand wedding I just drempt up was inspired by two things:
1. Accidentally driving by Nottoway Plantation (White Castle, LA) on a road trip last year and then seeing their incredible all-white ballroom
2. A couple of photos I've drooled over for years giving me color-scheme and style ideas

Inspiration:

{The ceremony would be held in a grove of ancient oaks on the beautiful Nottoway grounds, a cocktail hour would follow inside and outside the first floor of the manse}

{Of course one must remove all wall art, furniture, and lighting...I guess the curtains can stay...but the white lace sheers must go!  This ballroom is surrounded by a stunning second-floor veranda where guests can take to the sweet Louisiana breezes when not dancing to the dixieland band}





The old-world, ornate, all-white ballroom would be the most chic backdop for some really modern and color-saturated decor.

{Teal, Fuchsia, & Metalic Brass}

In the Room:
{Switch the chandeliers to some sparkley mid-century brass}

{Fabulous and geometric brass shelf holding the escort cards surrounded by an agate and crystal collection}


{Custom teal neon of the Newlywed's surname above the ornate mantels}


{Well you've just got to have a brass cake, don't you?}

At the White Linened Tables:


{Bride and Groom's chairs (that textile - I could die!), Guest chairs}




{Polished brass and vintage teal glass vessels with fuchsia ranunculus and peonies, and a sprinkling of white plaster busts all on a white neon-filled perspex box provide a fascinating an super-cool centerpiece cluster}

 Now that's a wedding with style!

My Beautiful Balloon

I've heard in some circles balloons are considered tacky and low-rent.  Bah!  They just haven't seen it done right. 








Balloons done with an artistic eye, and an out-of-the-box mentality will give your party the whimsy it needs to be a truly SPECIAL event!
