Google+ Real Texas Wedding: Annie + Sam, Part I - Southern Weddings

Southern Weddings

What do we love about this Texas wedding at the Fort Bend Community Church?  Color, color and more color!  Fuschia frocks from Eden Bridals, blooming bouquets and bouts from Special Arrangements, jewel-tone striped tie pop even more next to the bride’s paper white La Sposa gown and sophisticated white orchid bouquet.  We like!  Very much.  Thanks to Sharon Nicole Photography for brightening up our winter months.  Check back soon for an extra sweet ending to this Southern wedding!

Describe the proposal. Sam took me horseback riding at a local park on my birthday and when we returned the horses, I found a tent with flowers, petals and a big present box containing his laptop.  On the laptop, I watched a re-recorded, re-taped and revamped version of Taylor Swift’s “Love Story.”  To my surprise, Samuel got down on one knee and proposed!
Three adjectives that describe the day are:  Beautiful, fun and surreal.
What was the design inspiration for your wedding?  We wanted our wedding to reflect God’s beauty in love and nature.  We tried adding as many outdoor elements as we could, including a wedding in the courtyard of our home church, Fort Bend Community Church, and an outdoor dance floor.
What was your favorite design element of your big day?  The do-it-yourself mitsumata trees.  We even made the hangers for the votives using glue guns and wire.   The gravel was pink aquarium gravel from Petsmart!  They turned our beautifully and really added to the atmosphere.
Our favorite detail of the wedding was: For our first dance, Sam thought we were going to dance to an acoustic version of Rihanna’s “Umbrella” but instead I rerecorded a personal version of U2’s “All I Want is You” and played it for him as a surprised during our first dance.
Tell us about finding your wedding dress:  We planned our wedding in six months so the wedding dress was the first task to accomplish!  I bought the dress because it was beautiful, simple and youthful.  Another important factor was the great customer service I received from Misora.
