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: Jessica Toumani & Dale Fresch

Stunning Bella Bride Jessica Toumani wed Dapper Dale Fresch on June 4th, 2011 at The Historic Union Station on perfect summer day that would be one that both families would remember for a lifetime.  Bella Flora worked with the lovely Brenna Wurtz at Holly Tripp Events in bringing their stunning vision come to life. Everything about this wedding was planned perfectly and each detail had such personality and character that really embraced the newlywed couple. 

Starting with these super fun save the dates by Sil Azevedo.

The blue tones from these awesome underwater shots were to appear throughout the rest of the wedding. Starting with these timeless Badgley Mischkas that complement the bride's lace accented gown wonderfully.

The" something blue tones" went really well with the rest of the wedding color palette of ivory, white and splashes of cymbidium green.  I love the striking shade of blue the bridesmaids wore; here seen getting ready for first looks.

The gents were given chartreuse green orchids to offset the blue tones.

I love first looks; Sil did an excellent job of capturing these special moments between bride and groom.

Jessica carried a gorgeous bouquet designed with peonies, muscari, cymbidiums, and regal calla lilies that highlighted the wedding tones beautifully.

After first looks, Jessica, Dale and the bridal party wisped away downtown Dallas in a vintage styled trolley that went so well with the underlying travel theme and provided some great imagery!

Upon entry to the reception, guests were greeted with a magical presentation of candlelight enclosed in varying glass cylinders. So dreamy!

Stunning entry piece, charming guest book travel case and the cutest "train" place cards that tied in the perfectly with the reception's location!

The ceremony was both a grouping of Christian and Persian customs that took place atop a custom stage built by Jessica's dad and a glorious dome that hovered over the elaborate sofreh.

Love this shot of the ring bearer creation and the hand embellished programs.

A very proud father indeed as he walks his daughter down the aisle.

Such a beautiful ceremony quickly followed by a stunning reception decked with all white/ivory creations of orchids, hydrangeas and calla lilies.

The two head tables were then accented with splashes of blue floral in keeping with the wedding tones.

Once night fell, the elaborate lighting treatment provided by Absolute really gave a dramatic accent to the room.

First dance as Mr. & Mrs. Fresch.

Gorgeous cake from Fancy Cakes by Lauren with a triple cascade of flowers!

Emerald City then kicked off the party that lasted well into the wee hours of the night.

And the finale with a sparkler send off and horse carriage ride.

Such a fun wedding.  Thanks again Jessica and Dale for allowing us to be part of this momentous day!  We loved working with you both and wish you the very best!  You're definitely off to a great start with so much love from your awesome families.
