Today’s stunning Wish Well House wedding is the perfect combination of minimalism and whimsy! An Event To Remember brought their dream vision to life in a palette of dusty blue, blush, warm neutrals, and small pops of emerald green! Our favorite part? The hanging, cloud-like floral installation at their reception by Wild Poppy Floral Design – complete with a customized neon sign 😍 See it all at the full gallery of inspo, all captured by Victoria Trevino Photography!

From the Bride… Prior to planning, Reid and I knew we wanted our wedding to be very personalized and true to who we are as a couple. Every big and small decision we made from design to our wedding day timeline, we made sure to ask ourselves if each of these elements were true to who we were and the vision we were looking to achieve. We wanted our wedding to represent our love story, and most importantly we wanted to be surrounded by the family and friends who have supported us along the way. For us, this meant a weekend full of celebration with all of our favorite people! Our style vision was to create an environment for our guests that was sophisticated, whimsical, and romantic. The design of The Wish Well House combined each of these components flawlessly! We wanted to play off of the color palette that was already present in the Wish Well house which included shades of dusty blue, blush tones, warm neutrals, with small pops of emerald green.

I love the look of an elevated garden party, so florals and botanical details were an important design element I wanted to make sure to incorporate. My sister-in-law and I DIY’ed our pressed floral table numbers with dried florals and greenery secured between a gold floating frame. Reid and I also knew we could not have a wedding without incorporating our sweet pup Margie Mae, whom we’ve been absolutely infatuated with since the day we adopted her. One of our insanely talented family friends (@TheresaWilsonArt) painted a beautiful portrait of our little girl to display next to our cocktail menu, which featured “The Spicy Margie-rita” as one of our Signature Cocktails. It was the perfect way to showcase our spicy little gal!

My favorite moment was sharing a private last dance with my husband to Louis Armstrong’s “La Vie en Rose” at the end of the evening. We were able to truly soak in the excitement of the day and all of the emotions of finally being able to call each other husband and wife. The floating floral cloud installation above the dance floor created by Wild Poppy paired with our “The Guthries” neon sign was by far the most breathtaking design piece that tied our whole vision together. The smell of the baby’s breath that lingered on the dance floor all throughout the evening will forever be ingrained in my memory! The installation gave off such an ethereal vibe and was the focal point of our reception area.

Florals were one of our biggest priorities when implementing the “whimsical” part of the vision we had for our wedding day. Our candlelit tablescapes were adorned with minimalistic-yet-elegant bud vases, pressed floral table numbers, along with more lush floral arrangements by Wild Poppy Florals scattered throughout the tables. My bouquet was the most dreamy combination of roses, peonies, and ranunculus which created such a soft and feminine look that paired absolutely beautifully with my dress! The floral pillars designed for the ceremony quite literally took my breath away; and the floating floral cloud installation above the dance floor was what dreams were made of! I could not have imagined florals more perfect for the vision we were looking to create for our wedding day.

My dress was hands down one of my favorite parts of the whole day. I purchased my dress at Whittington Bridal in Kingwood, TX a year before our actual wedding day, and it took everything in me not to put it on every day leading up to the wedding! The dress was the Teresa gown designed by Calla Blanche, which featured the most stunning mermaid silhouette, detachable tulle shoulder pieces, sweetheart neckline, and a dramatic train. I was sold the moment I laid eyes on the 3D floral details that cover the dress, and the moment I put it on everyone in the room was sold too! The dress just felt like it was made for me and my body the second I stepped into it. One piece of advice I’d give to future brides is: focus on the things that are most important to you and your future partner on your wedding day! Don’t sweat the small things, trust your vendors, and everything will fall into place.
