Whimsical Style and Bright Colors Marry at Marie Gabrielle Wedding in Dallas

The Planning
Design / Vibe / Vision
A bold and bright garden party set in the heart of Downtown Dallas, where vibrant colors and lively energy come together to create an unforgettable experience.
Proposal Story
Sherin & John had just finished a boat tour around the island during their trip to Venice, Italy. They were walking off and entered directly into a beautiful garden along the water, where John got down on one knee!
The Fashion
Bridesmaid Dresses
Bridesmaids dresses were a mix of floral dresses that each bridesmaid was able to source themselves.
The Details
Food & Drink
Sherin envisioned a "feast" for her wedding day and that is exactly what guests were served. Cocktail hour kicked off the night with an abundance of passed Hors D' Oeuvres. For diner, in a buffet style setting, guests were offered an overload of food including a Summer salad, pan roasted chicken breast, grilled salmon, braised short rib, smashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables. The night did not stop here as wedding cake, a full dessert table, and late night pizza rolls were served as time progressed.
Florals & Decor
The florals were a combination of Soft Yellows and Peaches Paired with a pops of green, Bold Fuchsia and light Blue Accents to Create a Garden Style feeling in the Center of Downtown Dallas. Sherin wanted a mix of vibrant florals and taper candles to seamlessly blend with her bold pink china and velvet linens. Each detail was thoughtfully curated and nothing was considered over the top when it comes to pattern play for this event.
Wedding Cake
The wedding cake was a colorful, four-tier cake. Each layer was perfectly smooth and pristine in white, adorned with intricate and bright hand-painted flowers that coordinated to the color palette. It was as much a visual centerpiece as a delicious treat, inviting admiration from everyone at the reception.
