Bella Bride: Keri Gooding and Anson Amis

This trendy bride made sure each element was unique when she married Anson Amis on September 25 at The Fairmont in Dallas. A soft and romantic palette of ivory and soft blush was accented with barely there porcelain tones with silver accents. Everything from the bride's couture cake to the personalized guest table cards left guests in awe! Check out the amazing team of vendors at the bottom of the post that put together this romantic day. 

Keri rocked two amazing dresses for her special day. For the ceremony she fashioned this gorgeous Rivini gown then changed into this sassy little black number for the reception. 

Oh my gah, shoes! The delicate bows were the perfect match to Keri's ruffled wedding dress. Her beautiful and soft textured all ivory bouquet was designed with hydrangeas, fragrant gardenians, ranunculus, lisianthus, procelain roses and accents of seasonal fresia for a truly memorable bouquet. The stems were hand tied with a pretty ivory ribbon treatment and pearl and jewel topped pins were added for additional embellishment. 

Keri and Amos exchanged "I Do's" under a gorgeous dome shaped arbor. Fine ivory silks swathed the top layer and bundled beautifully along each of the four posts. A bountiful display of floral was designed at the top portion of the dome with floral in tones of ivory, champagnes and blush pink. Stems included hydrangeas, varying roses, sweet stocks and lisianthus clusters adorned with hanging crystal droplets. For an added designer touch, strands of decorative crystals swagged from all four sides are met in the center. 

You may now kiss the bride!

Collections of glass cylinders of varying heights lined the aisle, creating the perfect walkway to lead the bridal party and bride towards the magnificent arbor. Vessels were filled with fresh water, submerged petals and glowing displays of candlelight. 

Keri's gorgeous bridesmaids were given bouquets designed with soft antique pinks, pale lavenders and blushes of pinks. Stems included antique garden roses, ruffled ranunculus, lavender lisianthus, ivory majolica rosettes and hydrangeas. All stems were hand wrapped with an eggplant toned ribbon for a coordinating look with their fashionable dresses. 

At the reception, guest tables were adorned with a variety of beautiful centerpieces in soft antique pinks, blushes of pinks, champagne and porcelain toned floral. Glowing candlelight accented the styles for a romantic glow. 

Replacing the ordinary place cards were these unique and fun custom made police cars! (New trend alert!) Since Anson is a police officer, these were creative alternatives to boring, paper cards. The table was draped with an ivory toned linen and accented in ribbons in light pink and blush to resemble a road for the cars. 

Ruffles, ruffles and more ruffles! It looks like Keri knew what was hitting the runways this season! Keri's chic cake was adorned with a soft textured topper of soft ivory and pale blush toned flora of hydrangeas, lisianthus and spray roses. 

Groom cakes are getting more and more original! Anson's creative cake was accented with his favorite things! 

A colorful candy bar was a favorite for late night snackers!

Having fun in the photo booth!

Love this photo of the happy couple!

We can't get enough of those police cars!

Congrats and good luck to this fun couple!

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: Annie Bayer & Scott Goldberg

It's hard to believe that a whole year has gone by since Annie Bayer married Scott Goldberg on July 4, 2009. How time flies! This has to be one of our favorite weddings we have had the pleasure in creating mainly due to the amazing details, fun atmosphere and of course wonderful people. They wed last summer at The Ritz-Carlton ~ Dallas with a celebration filled with so many stunning details, we'll let the photos (courtesy of the outstanding Stephen Karlisch ) speak for themselves.

Annie had a clear vision in mind when envisioning her dream day, an elegant ivory and blush creation using some of the best florals, soft beaded textures, whimsical ballerina tulles, crystal chandeliers and butterfly accents sporadically placed throughout.

She carried a gorgeous bouquet of ivory hydrangeas, barely there blush peonies and fragrant gardenias accented with jeweled butterfly broach.

 

What a wonderful wedding! Just looking back on the photos reminds us of everything and everyone it took to create for this cherished day for the bride and groom. Certainly a "memorable" way to celebrate 4th of July!
