ON THE COVER

THE LOOK GOWN | Fez by White One’s elegant low waist mermaid wedding gown from Love and Lace Bridal Boutique features front and back V-neck. Embroidered tulle and sparkly beading on the cap sleeves complete the look. FINE JEWELRY | Fine jewelry includes deep blue tanzanite earrings surrounded by a halo of diamonds, classic diamond bracelets with a Kaira twist and modified U wedding band from Kaira. HAIR + MAKEUP | Adorne

Artistry created a naturally

gorgeous glow complemented by fluffy lashes that was finished off with a perfect pink lip. Her naturally curly hair was finished with an exaggerated side part for a feminine look that felt effortless. FLORAL | Flower

Vibes created a stunning installation

featuring a variety of blooms in shades of pinks, nudes, mustards and lavenders. VENUE | Surrounded by 800 acres of farmland, The Gin at Hidalgo Falls is a restored 1950’s cotton gin, located near the Brazos River and historic Hidalgo Falls. Just an hour’s drive from Houston and 20 minutes from College Station, this unique setting combines vintage industrial style with modern details and amenities.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Hey Y’all! I’m Kate! Wife, dog mama, lover of wine and all things cozy. I create classic photography for people who know that life is short and preserving their memories with the people they love most in this world is invaluable. We strive to gift our couples with not only incredible images to be apart of your legacy but also to create an unforgettable experience. From picking the perfect location, style guidance and leading you through authentic moments in front of the camera, we are with you through it all.

y design aesthetic is classic and timeless, while still feeling modern and elegant. I like a variety of styles, color palettes and moods. This diversity is what makes working with my couples so rewarding and fun. My signature look can be described as “effortless elegance” which gives each event a feeling of ease, as well as a seamless aesthetic that flows throughout the day. It’s about creating a design that my clients will still be in love with 20, 50 or even 70 years from now!

Leigh

Ann and Grant had their first date at a tiki bar. Since then they’ve made visiting tiki bars while traveling a must on all of their itineraries. It was a blast to create a tiki-themed cocktail hour experience for guests, including: a fully-stocked tiki bar, fun custom illustrated signage and a macrame escort card display. It was the perfect touch of kitsch and personality without drenching the whole wedding (from ceremony to send-off) in all things tiki. I loved being able to include something that was personal to the couple, while keeping with the timeless, elegant aesthetic we strive to provide for our couples.

personal touches...

words of wisdom... Take

a breath. It’s so tempting to dive in head first the second you get engaged, and go full steam ahead into wedding planning mode. This may be hard to believe as a professional planner, but my husband and I chose to wait a month after getting engaged to even talk about the wedding! It was such a sweet time of enjoying this short, yet unique period in our relationship that we’ll never get back. I’d encourage any bride-to-be to create space and wedding-free times during the planning process to ensure that they’re tending to their relationship as often as they’re tending to their to-do list.

y wedding aesthetic is glamorous and classic. I love using metallic tones in my design style, but in a very sleek and modern way to tie in with any color scheme. I also take the venue selection made by the couple to match the design and style we want to work with, just to be sure that it is cohesive and coordinates with the ambiance of the event setting. Lastly, based on the season, we look into florals that are in season to select a color palette.

My favorite detail about this wedding was that it was in a brand new hotel and the first South Asian wedding hosted there. I liked the simplicity of the design, yet it was very glam.

incorporating tradition...

words of wisdom... My advice as the first step would be to wait a month

or so before you jump into the wedding planning process. Let it all sink in so it doesn’t just pass you by, because once you begin, it’s all that you can think about until it’s over! Second step; get your family together and discuss the guest list and set a wedding budget. Start off with making a first draft to the guest list and see if anyone needs to get cut from that list if you have not been in touch for more than two years. These two factors are the foundation and help determine the type of wedding you choose to have.

We approach each wedding uniquely. No two

couples are the same, so no two weddings should be the same. We do our best to make each of our clients feel as if they are the only couple we are working with. One of my grooms actually made a joke recently and referred to us as the bride’s “paid best friend.” It was funny and cute, but really encompassed who we are as a company.

What’s not to love about Caitlin and Geoff’s wedding!

The colors are to die for and texture combination is beyond perfect. Our absolute favorite thing though, were the bridesmaids dresses. Each dress was unique in style and color, which allowed each bridesmaid to feel her absolute best! While the color palette was super diverse, the floral combination really tied everything together.

color and texture...

trending... We

are so excited about today’s wedding trends, but some of our favorites are the nontraditional floral components (think pampas grass, wheat and proteas), velvet accents and super unique, customized invitations suites!

5 REASONS WHY HAVING

THE IS A MUST! Are you looking to break tradition for love, logistics — or even just better photos? More and more couples are opting to see each other before the ceremony for many reasons. Here are five reasons it’s a great idea to do a first look.

A Moment to Connect Wedding days go by in a flash, and this private moment allows you to connect before the crowds and capture that special moment in a sweet way.

Less Stress

As romantic as wedding days are, they are full of logistics and you’re at the center of all that. Taking first look photos means you aren’t worried about getting daylight for your photos, especially in a winter wedding, or wrangling the wedding party, or having your makeup still on after all the tears. Bonus, you’ll be at your photographic best.

Makes for Great Photos

It’s hard to beat seeing the love in a couple’s eyes as they see each other for the first time! Those photos are some of the most romantic and sweetest because you’re together in the frame instead of at different ends of an aisle.

More Picture Perfect Moments

Many couples wish they had been able to spend more time on photography. A first look is a great opportunity that allows photographers a little more time to get lots of lovely details and different types of photos without bumping up against cocktail hour.

Eases the Nerves

5 96

Not every couple relishes being the center of attention and a first look allows you to take a calm, quiet moment as a couple to process and talk a little.

The inspiration for t his design came from a mutual admiration of a

landscape at sunrise t hat Edges Wild and I experienced on our individual travels. The scene reminded me of a paint-by -number painting wit h shades intermixing and flowing into t he ot her. The color palette of dusty rose, sof t salmon, olive green, mustard yellow, sea-foam blue and purple mountain evoked an early 70s parlor vibe wit h t he kind of textures and patterns found in a Sherloc k Holmes episode or a Wes Anderson f ilm. Carr Mansion was t he ideal location for t his shoot wit h all t he inherent c haracter, woodwork and exquisitely decorated spaces.

I was ecstatic to create t his agrarian, tranquil and modern design

inspired by t he ocean. I sent ever yone a ver y minimal design board asking t hem to pull in details embracing t he motion of ocean waves, tranquil blues, natural colors and elements of t hings suc h as sand, fronds and sea glass. My goal when designing is to curate somet hing t hat will impress people when t hey walk in, but would never make anyone feel like it was too nice for t hem to sit t here. I aim for our designs to feel inclusive and welcoming - overall I t hink t he design team nailed it, and brought t his dreamy ocean inspired design to life flawlessly.

I wanted to celebrate vibrant, bold colors and demonstrate how suc h

colors can be styled in an elegant way. Citrus and farm wood elements are incorporated t hroughout t he design as well, adding a more organic feel to t he look. Throughout t he design process, I pictured t he couple I was designing for to be playful and daring. I imagined t he space underneat h t he cascading illuminated tree to be almost like a secret hideaway from t he rest of t he world…a place t hat would radiate joy and create everlasting memories!

This shoot was inspired by ever y girl living or growing up in t he Houston

area t hat dreams of her wedding day, and when I say ever y girl, I mean Ever y Girl. Houston is t he most diverse city in t he United States, and I am proud to say t hat my clients reflect t hat diversity. Too of ten, young women here begin planning t heir weddings feeling bot h over whelmed and disappointed by t he inspiration out t here because t hey cannot picture t hemselves in t he shoes of t he brides on t he covers and pages of t he popular magazines and blogs t hey see. No matter her skin color, hair type, stature or overall personal style, ever y young woman should be able to f ind inspiration for her per fect day. This shoot was designed to showcase brides of dif ferent et hnicities and body types set against a gorgeous wedding venue t hat can give us farmhouse, of fbeat and luxur y vibes all in one place at t he same time.

“Our photographer, Courtney Leigh Photography, was the most helpful vendor and really went above and beyond for us. I thought that her photos spoke for her, but after you meet her you realize she provides so much more than a pretty Courtney Leigh Photography

picture. Courtney takes the awkwardness out of taking photos and has such an ease to the way she works. This may sound cheesy, but I really am so thankful that Courtney came into our lives.

“Choosing the flowers for the wedding was my nightmare because I didn’t know how to pick. Bahara from Plants n’ Petals listened to all the crazy ideas and planning and said she had it. She made crazy planning ideas, like tiers of balloons hanging from the ceiling, come to life and took away the stress.” TARYN , BRIDE

“Will’s sister, Anne-Marie, is a wonderful published poet and we were honored when she said ‘yes’ after we asked her to write up something special for our big day. She created the poem, ‘The Brazos,’ which brought sight to the parallels of our marriage and the rivers from Brazos, which surrounded us at The Gin at Hidalgo Falls. She did a beautiful job at presenting it and her words could not have been any more perfect.” CHELSEA, BRIDE
