Bella Bride: Laurie Shelton & Scott Davenport

A gorgeous spring wedding was created for the lovely Laurie Shelton and dapper Scott Davenport with a day filled with berry, fuchsia, violet and chartreuse tones mixed with exquisite linens, dramatic lighting and of course lots of love from their wonderful famlies.  The wedding was coordinated by the ever so wonderful Emily Youngblood of Blessed Unions and the images are courtesy of the always "spot-on" team at Joseph Mark Photography.

Laurie's bridesmaids wore these super cute dresses with an asymmetric ruffled detail and carried charming bouquets of hydrangeas, peonies, Vanda orchids and cymbidium orchids.  So yum!

The entry to Perkins Chapel was adorned with fresh boxwood garlands accented with colorful bouquets and flowing ribbons while custom floral letters embellished the entry doors.

The colors of the ceremony floral were kept slightly subdued so we could really amp up the tones at the reception.

Such a beautiful couple! And her bouquet designed with hydrangeas, peonies, roses, sweet peas and crystal studded stephanotis wasn't half bad either!

Cool blue paths of light to the reception.

Awesome guest book set up with such a lively palette of fuchsias, violets, berry and splashes of chartreuse.  The rest of the reception was equally as vibrant with centerpieces ranging from tall, medium and low and a stellar head table set up for 34 people!

Let's Dance!

...and celebrate!

Gorge bridal cake, Bevo and sweet treats!

Love these next few shots! You can totally feel the love!

What a wonderful night!  Thanks again Laurie and Scott for allowing us to be a part of this memorable day!

Bella Bride: Natalie Smith & Feild Patten

Newlyweds Natalie & Feild met years ago in Dallas whilst in high school only to reconnect years later finding that their true love was always in front of them. They were married this past December at Kessler Park United Methodist Church and The Belo Mansion.



Natalie carried a gorgeous bouquet designed with ivory hydrangeas, fragrant gardenias and delicate pearl studded stephanotis blooms. Natalie then provided a personal brooch to add a special touch to the soft textured creation.




The couple chose a color palette of classic ivories for the ceremony which featured a dreamy walk way of tall markers laden with ivory blooms and a dreamy altar filled with hydrangeas, phalaenopsis orchids, varying roses and cascades of dendrobium orchids.



Natalie's bridesmaids wore slate toned gowns and carried vibrant bouquets of fuchsia, violet and berry providing a glimpse of the vibrant tones to be used at the reception.



The reception was filled with a rich toned palette of violets, berry and and fuchsia accented with subtle splashes of decorative crystals.





A stunning ceiling treatment was created over the dance floor using strands of sparkly crystals and hand strung fuchsia orchid garlands.



Natalie's cake was one the prettiest I've seen in awhile complete with a ballerina inspired linen and an accenting of delicate stephanotis, roses and hydrangea blossoms along the descending layers.




There was definitely something "fishy" with Feild's cake. I'm just saying!


This wedding was such a wonderful way to end the year and we were thrilled to be a part of their special day. Congratulations Natalie & Feild!
