kristen and reese, 05.07.17

at the beginning of may, i went home to see my family + celebrate mimi’s birthday + see my friend kristen marry the love of her life, reese. i’ll post on the first two events later on, but today, i wanted to share a few photos from kristen’s wedding because it was BEAUTIFUL. the most amazing part is that kristen did all of this herself [with the help of family and friends] and she put it all together in less than 5 months. she should make this whole wedding planning thing a career, if you ask me!

anyway, the photos below are not all the best quality, but i was so inspired by all the decor, the details, and the planning that went into this wedding that i wanted to share them.

{they had an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception at flying V ranch in the texas countryside.}

{waiting for the ceremony to begin}

{the three precious flower girls!}

{here comes the beautiful bride!}

{isn’t she gorgeous??}

{cue the tears!}

{mr. and mrs. robinson!}

{such pretty country for a wedding}

{they served wine, beer, and “his” and “hers” cocktails.}

{the wedding was catered by one of my favorite restaurants, bolsa. [i’m going to try to take a little credit for the amazing food at at the wedding since i was the one who actually introduced kristen to this place! haha.] ;) ;) for the cocktail hour before the reception, there was an amazing charcuterie and cheese spread, which is definitely one of bolsa’s specialties. i wish i had gotten a photo before people had gotten into it, but it was a feast for the eyes!}

{all of the decor was so lovely and so special.}

{this.}

{the table decor}

{…and the wedding party table.}

{the greenery was gorgeous.}

{i just loved the mismatched china.}

{the coffee station}

{this was a neat idea – photos of “our beloved grandparents,” honoring their marriages.}

{the dessert table! i’m obsessed.}

{a close up… i’m a sucker for fruit tarts.}

{waiting on the bride and groom}

{the bride and groom’s entrance and their first dance.}

{the best wedding food ever! frisée and arugula salad with pickled peaches & feta, heirloom tomato and fresh mozzarella salad with balsamic reduction, pistachio-crusted salmon, hanger steak with herbed chimichurri, whipped yukon gold potatoes, garlic broccolini with oven blistered tomatoes. YUM!}

{the groom’s cake… of course i love this one!}

{this lovely cake was tasty AND clean!}

{another view of the reception}

{a little sitting area at the venue. you can’t tell but a bunch of these pillows were cute and glitzy!}

{flying V ranch}

{that sun!}

{my wedding date for the night! jamie wasn’t able to make it and becca was invited to the wedding… it worked out well because we had tons to catch up on!}

{dusk}

{a few more because wow.}

{another fun thing about weddings is running into old friends! i hadn’t seen alyssa for years – we had gone to the same church as kristen growing up.}
