The Details

Food & Drink

They had a farm to table buffet dinner of: OLD WORLD ARUGULA SALAD - arugula, crispy prosciutto, manchego, charred onion vinaigrette Pre Set Bread Basket ARTISAN BREAD BASKET - sourdough bread, house cultured seasonal butters ROPA VIEJA - short rib, spices, onion, garlic, tomato, yellow rice TEXAS RANCH SPICED CHICKEN - dry rubbed roasted organic chicken leg quarters ROASTED ASPARAGUS, lemon vinaigrette FENNEL ROASTED HEIRLOOM CARROTS, carrot top pesto

Florals & Decor

The Bloom Bar designed the flowers for Margaret & Brady. The focus was to deliver a cool and edgy look that was all shades of pink and featured fringe elements. For their ceremony they had fringe hanging from the chandeliers down the aisle, with two asymmetrical arches at the altar. For cocktail hour they had a gorgeous bar arrangement that featured dripping fringe. For dinner, each table had a medium floral centerpiece and hot pink taper candles.

Wedding Cake

Margaret and Brady skipped a traditional wedding cake and served donuts from the local shop The Salty.

Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs

All music was played by their DJ, Neema of Bat City Beats. He perfectly blended their playlist of country, rock and roll, and top 40 to keep the dance floor packed all night long.

Special Detail #1

The bride and groom's daughter Tallulah was their flower girl and was there to witness her parents ceremony. They both included Tallulah in their vows to each other while she played in front of them.

Special Detail #2

Margaret had three dresses for the full day. Her ceremony gown was an a-line gown feature floral detailing. Her reception gown was a fitted gown that was custom made by a seller on Etsy that feature sequins and feathers. And her final gown was a mini dress that had a feather top and rhinestone accents.

Special Detail #3

Their wedding party had almost all been close friends since seventh grade so there was not a dry eye during the ceremony. Margaret and Brady's vows were so heartfelt and were partly written as promises to their growing family and part to each other individually. Their toasts were full of stories from childhood, college, and when Margaret and Brady started dating again after college.
