When Isabel and Dave told us they wanted a colorful garden themed wedding we said, "say no more, you're in the right place!!!" We don't mean to brag, but...well we think we nailed it on the design. The Stunning Rive Oaks Garden club provided the perfect back drop, and we made sure every detail was bursting with color and personality from the welcome sign all the way to the bride and grooms exit, every detail mattered!!
Isabel was the most stunning bride, and look at her gorgeous bridal party, with simple muted lilac dresses and the pops of colour from the bouquet was just perfection!
Isabel and Dave chose to do a first look with Private vows! We love first looks. They may not be for everyone but having that special moment alone when your first see each other and making promises to each other when it is just the 2 of you, no one else looking on, there is something pretty special about that!!
When guests arrived, they were greeted with the most beautiful welcome sign made of pressed flowers and the names etched into in it. The couple also decided on some simple acrylic ornaments for guests to sign, now they can keep these to display for years to come, we love when couples choose to do something a little different and add more personal touches wherever they can!!
The ceremony was held outside in the walled garden. The floral arrangements by The Tallest Tulip just screamed wildflower elegance and beauty, from the broken arch at the altar to the chandelier above, brimming with greens and pops of color, all tied together with butterflies placed throughout. (Top tip - the smallest of details can make the biggest impact in creating a cohesive event!)
After the ceremony this space was beautifully transformed into a relaxing lounge area for guest to lounge and chat, bringing the bright garden theme into the rest of the wedding with bright yellow chairs in the lounge area and a beautiful sunshine sofa under a ballon arch by the trees.
Isabel and Dave chose 3 signature cocktails for cocktail hour, all served from the outdoor bar adorned with a beautiful floral and green swag and displayed inside on the sweetest shelves allowing guests to use both inf=door and outdoor spaces.
The reception area can only be described as stunning and elegant!! a mix of round and rectangle tables draped with bright white and crisp blue linens, with pops of bright colourful centrepieces of varying heights mixed with taper candles and again the whole design was brough together with delicate butterflies inside small glass cloches mixed again with bright colourful florals. (Can you see how that one small detail brought through the entire day is making the entire design cohesive! (We don't like to gate keep, we are always happy to share our top-secret tips and tricks with you!)
Not only was the decor out of this world, but let's take a moment for the food! Heirloom Houston always deliver with the wonderful tasting food, and they did not disappoint with this stunning display for the buffet!!
The grand finale, the piece de resistance.... the cakes! Yes, you read that right CAKES!! All three of them. As the sign says this couple was "here for the cake' and so are we! Hand painted flowers with flex's of gold, they really did steal the show.
Every Detail of this wedding reflected Isabel and Daves bright colourful and joy filled love. We could not be happier for them and thankful for the part we got to play in creating their dream day! Congratulation you two!!!!
