Holy Moly purple and pink love! Can we all agree that Brittany + Keith’s wedding is bright, bold gorgeousness? Brittany looks radiant dressed in Sottero and Midgely and flanked by her bridesmaids in Alfred Angelo. Not to be too outdone, Keith and his groomsmen rocked sleek grey suits and indigo ties and Air Jordans. That’s right, y’all — those are some stylish gents! The bride’s favorite detail of the night was their wedding cake. I must admit, the tiers of draping, banding and monogramming (yes!) are very impressive. Big thanks to Ivy Weddings for sharing this beauty!

Tell us about finding your wedding dress: I searched everywhere for the perfect dress. One day, I was in my hometown for a visit and my mom drove by a new wedding shop that had the most beautiful dress in the store window. I went inside and the owner told me it had just arrived. I tried it on and fell in love. I called all my family to the store and we all agreed it was the one.
Describe your wedding flowers: Our flowers were simply bold and beautiful. We incorporated eggplant and fuchsia roses, orchids, and calla lilies into the most stunning table arrangements. The deep eggplant and fuchsia colors offset the light Mediterranean look of the venue and it created a beautiful atmosphere for our guest to enjoy.

What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? At the end of the night when it was time for our exit to the car, I remember feeling so fulfilled and happy. Like, “Yes, we finally did it!” The lights flashing, petals in the air, love of my life by my side – the scene felt like it was right out of a movie. It was the end of the wedding but the beginning of so much more and the feeling was priceless.
What advice do you have for folks currently planning a wedding? Start early and do NOT procrastinate. But most of all, enjoy every minute because it goes by fast and you’re only going to do it once!

How did the two of you meet? Tell us your story. We met through Keith’s mother. Our families share the same small town background and she was attending my uncle’s wedding, which I was a bridesmaid in. Later that week, Keith and his mom were looking through a magazine and Keith said he commented on how pretty this girl was in one of the ads. His mom said she had seen a girl last week that was prettier and asked if he wanted her to introduce him. He said yes and his mother made the phone call to my mother. It’s funny when I think back on it because my mom and I thought she was crazy! A woman calls and says she saw me in my uncle’s wedding and would like for me to meet her son! We laughed and I really didn’t think much else about it. That is, until I saw him for myself. We had our first face-to-face meeting in the small town of Kennard, Texas, at a relative’s house. From there, we exchanged information and arranged our first date. The rest is history. Thanks Mrs. Charlene!
Describe the proposal. (From the groom) I was supposed to propose after one of our games. It was a big game and I had arranged plans with the team to help me afterwards. The plan was to win the game and propose to Brittany in the stands afterwards. There were going to be pictures showing on the big screen and music playing in the gym, the whole nine. We ended up losing and, needless to say, the plan and the mood were completely busted. I just remember feeling that winning or losing a game does not dictate the fact that I want to marry Brittany. So I kept our restaurant reservations and told my friends that I made a small revision but the plan was still on. At the restaurant, we were finished with dinner and just talking with our friends when I excused myself from the table. I went to the bathroom, nervous and after standing there for a minute, did a little dance in the mirror, and then walked back out to our lounge area overlooking the city and got on one knee.
Three adjectives that describe the day are: Beautiful, emotional, fun.
In what month did you get married? August
How many guests attended your wedding? 215
What range did your wedding budget fall into? $50,000-$75,000
Describe your wedding cake or dessert: Our wedding cake was my favorite detail of the night! The cake was a custom designed 5-tier stunner with alternating layers of vanilla and red velvet topped with fondant and buttercream icing. The cake was adorned with elegant scrolls and banded with strips of bling. Judy from Simon Lee Bakery did an excellent job at bringing my cake vision to life.
What is the one thing you are most happy you splurged on? Our photographers Matt and Ivy! They helped create the best pictures ever!
What’s next for you as a couple? What are you looking forward to in the future? If it’s up to Keith, babies!! Because of Keith’s work schedule, we weren’t able to go on a honeymoon so we can’t wait for our much needed vacation!

More lovely shots from a downright love-ly wedding, courtesy of Erik Clausen. While we’re total suckers for outdoor Southern soirees, it’s refreshing to see an indoor reception (Marie-Gabrielle Gardens and Restaurant) done oh-so right. And my gosh, do I love Linda + Jojo’s yellow and white cake from Meringue Bakery! Hugs to Poser for giving us a very happy Thursday, indeed.

See all the photos from Linda + Jojo’s wedding in their Real Wedding Gallery!

Describe your wedding flowers: I wanted spring in the fall with a little bit of a modern edge. We were so lucky to find a florist that knew and loved our vision. She used lots of green and teal-gray succulents, bright yellow billy balls, white cabbage roses, and orchids for the bouquets. We had 4 different arrangements throughout the venue. Boxes filled with succulents and billy balls, giant phalaenopsis orchids floating in square vases and billowing out of vases.
Describe your wedding cake: Our wedding cake was simple and eye catching. Vanilla and strawberry cake with whipped cream cheese filling and bright yellow butter crème frosting. It was the perfect focal point for the venue.
What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome while planning your wedding? Our biggest challenge was two different Asian cultures and traditions coming together and trying to find a compromise. I’m Vietnamese and Jojo is Filipino. It was hard to get both families to agree on how the ceremony and reception would be conducted. But we stuck through it and everything turned out beautifully. It was amazing seeing everyone happy and happy for us. We couldn’t have prayed for a better day.
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? While we were both getting ready, Erik, our photographer was in the grooms’ suite taking pictures of the boys getting ready. Jojo asked Erik what he needed him to do. Erik told him to put on his pants. He looked in his suit bag and realized that he had forgotten them at home. I found out through his facebook status.
Did you write your own vows? If so, what was your favorite phrase, verse or line? I vowed to always TRY to fill the toilet paper roll. Jojo said I love you in three different languages.
What’s next for you as a couple? What are you looking forward to in the future? We’re hoping to start a family! Our parents are already asking us when they’re going to get grandkids.
