Bella Bride: Kristen Scheble & Steve Flory

When we first met Kristen Scheble to talk about the vision for her wedding day, it all revolved around an image she had from a recent dream.  Months later, that image came to fruition on a perfect April day as she wed Steve Flory and celebrated with 80 of their closest family and friends. Below are some of our favorite images from the day courtesy of Andrea Polito.

The ceremony was held in the backyard of a close friend that served as the perfect backdrop for the modern styled decor.  The entry gates were laden with orchid blooms and garlands while a wispy display of phaelonopsis and dendrobium orchids fluttered in the background.

Kristen carried a gorgeous bouquet designed with Cattelya orchids, sweet peas and hints of delicate lily of the valley.  Such a simple and stunning accent piece to her custom designed wedding dress.

Absolutely LOVE her ceremony program bound in a leather snake skin cover and accented with the prettiest letterpress and floral accents.  Bell'Invito did such an awesome job!

The ceremony was short and sweet and the weather could not have been more perfect.

Guests then retreated to The Nasher Sculpture Gardens where a truly memorable fete awaited.  Seating consisted of two long and lavish rectangular tables positioned under a starry display of stringer lights and crystal accented glass orbs that appeared to be floating magically overhead.

Floral consisted of varying mercury glass vases topped with voluminous hydrangeas, cascading phaeleonopsis orchids, Oh so SWEET lilac, blush toned cymbidiums and low lying masses of ivory dendrobiums.

Kristen and Steven then sat in the middle of the lavish head tables where a plethora of our favorite blooms were displayed.  Peonies, lilac, Cattelya orchids, garden roses and hyacinth, yes please!

Bell'Invito did a beautiful job with the menu cards as well.  Love the white ink on slate! So stylish.

Lauren with Fancy Cakes did an equally stunning  job in using the wedding program as inspiration for the bridal cake.

Such a beautiful night!  We could not have been more thrilled with the end results and are so happy to have met and worked with such an awesome couple.  Congratulations Kristen and Steve.

Bella Bride: Codi Dueitt & Justin Carroll

April was a fabulous month of weddings here at Bella Flora and Codi Dueitt & Justin Carroll really got the ball rolling with their super stylish and fashionable wedding held April 2, 2011 at Robert Carr Chapel (TCU) and The Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth.  Photos courtesy of F8 Studios. 

Codi was a very keen bride with a sharp sense of style and love for all things outside the box.  Every detail about the wedding really suited the look and feel planned for the big day.  Starting with this stunning Vera Wang dress.  

A soft textured bouquet of hydrangeas, garden roses, peonies and ranunculus created the perfect accent

to such a gorgeous gown.  

The gents rocked black tuxes and after five bow ties paired with berry toned boutonnieres.

  

The big reveal in this charming little chapel hidden on site at Texas Christian University. 

Sealed with a kiss....and off to the party!

Love her bridesmaids peacock toned dresses.  Longer gowns are definitely in the now!

The reception at The Modern was a vivid fete of tropical infused designs of fuchsias, bold yellows, chartreuse, blues and dreamy violets.  I love the clean lines and blank slated walls that really embraced the lighting. 

A white dance floor was brought in and flanked by two long tables decked with custom designed collections of large philodendron leaves, orchids and hydrangeas.  Love this look! 

The rest of the tables were adorned with asymmetric displays of orchids, varying large tropical leaves and clusters of hydrangeas.  

Big Entrance!

Downtown Fever then cranked up the beats for this spirited crowd!

Beautiful Bridal Cake and a very unique Groom's Cake. 

And congratulatory shots!

Dancing into the night! I love that Codi had a quick dress change to really get down. :) 

.....and the departure!  Such a beautiful wedding.  Thank you Codi and Justin for selecting us to be a part of your big day!  Congratulations!

25/10 - The Rosewood Crescent Hotel's 25th and Bella Flora's 10th Anniversary

Earlier this winter, we were so honored to partner with The Rosewood Crescent Court Hotel as they celebrated their 25th Anniversary and we completed our 10th year creating beautiful weddings and events.  We knew our partnership would be the making of a joyous and fabulous celebration for all our current and past clients and our oh so "festive" event industry friends!  Thisbe Grace and Mark McWilliams were on hand to capture all the yummy and fun details and America's Sassiest Lifestyle Guru Steve Kemble was also on board as key planner to our beautiful event!  We are so appreciative of everyone's support and hope everyone had a great time!!

....and now on to the photos!

The entry to The Crescent Court's newly renovated Gallery Ballroom was lined with a deep plum carpet and framed with beautiful drapery provided by Fun Factory and Quest Drapery.  The tones went so well with the evening's "Sparkle & Shine" Theme.

Berry toned garlands were draped over existing lanterns creating a cool chandelier effect as guests arrived and uplighting in sweet amethyst tones really set a dramatic tone upon entering the ballroom.

Champagne on hand upon arrival? Sign me up!

As guests exited the elevator, a gorgeous backdrop of floral and crystals in awesome tones of violets, fuchsias, berry and lavender greeted guests with such a sweet fragrance and yummy colors and textures.

The floral wall was a blast to create and took thousands of tulips, hydrangeas, orchids, roses and sweet stock to create.  Here is a quick pic of the wall in the making earlier that day by Lucy Diaz-Flores and Cesar Diaz.

Playful tete a tetes donned beautiful orbs of all violet hydrangeas and sterling roses adding such fun pops of color to both the in and outdoor areas of The Gallery Ballroom.

Our very own "Bella" Crew. :), Marianne McGee, Cesar Diaz, Lucy Diaz-Flores and Jaime Jones.

The Crescent's Social Catering Managers Allison Fuld and Julian Leaver.

The Gallery ballroom was decked out with tons of mirrored pieces, crystal accents and an oh so pretty color palette of violets, lavenders and berry. 

After welcomes and introductions, an awesome firework display set the party mood for the night. 

Dj Brandon Olds then got the outdoors pumping with funk beats and pop rhythms.

While Signed, Sealed, Delivered amped up the indoor space with loads of energetic tuneage!

All sorts of industry eye candy were on hand.  Love Mayra Rams Sanabria of My Fabulous Faces and Sonia Trevino who is a master at styling fabulous dos!
