Real Weddings by Whittington

Mr. and Mrs. Smesny


Where did you get married?
We got married at Old River Assembly Of God Church in Dayton, TX.



What was your first dance song?
Our first dance was "I Cross my Heart," by George Strait


What was your favorite part of your wedding?
Marrying my best friend was of course my favorite part ;)


What are you glad you splurged on?
My dress was my biggest splurge. And I wouldn't change it.



What is your advice to future brides?
Best advice for a bride would be to not stress over silly details.. You're the only one who will know if something messes up, don't make it a big deal. The "oops" made some of my favorite memories :)



What is your husband's name and your new last name?
My husband's name is Travis. And my new name is Mrs. Lacy Jade Smesny :)

Designer Spotlight: Justin Alexander


This weekend, we are hosting a Justin Alexander trunk show and we’re so excited!! The store is all set up and we know you all will love the great gowns that we have in this weekend…and for 15% off!


 Today we are looking at one of our favorite bridal designers! Justin Alexander gowns are extravagant and luxurious, yet they manage to still feel soft and bridal. The bride wearing Justin Alexander is classy and elegant; take a look at a few of these gowns, and you’ll understand what I mean!

To add another Justin Alexander tidbit to the long list of reasons we love these designs, each lace dress uses a different lace than the rest of the collection! This is perfect for the bride that wants to know that she will look like no other on her wedding day.



The satin gowns in Justin Alexander collections are all used with sleek designs. Many of these gowns have high bateau necklines and slimming lines.



Book an appointment and try on a few of the most elegant bridal gowns in this collection! Our trunk show runs June 13th-14th and all Justin Alexander gowns are 15% off for these two days only!

♥ ♥Mr. & Mrs. Marten♥ ♥



1. Where did you get married?

St. Anne's Catholic Church in Houston!




2. What was your first dance song?


                 "Our Love Is Here To Stay"- Billie Holiday




3. What was your favorite part of your wedding? 

We had such a great time dancing the night away! We wanted to make sure everyone had fun at the wedding, & I think we were successful!




4. What are you glad you splurged on?

My dress. I absolutely loved it and loved how I looked on the wedding day. I couldn't wait to wear it on the big day. I have never felt that beautiful before and I got so many compliments on my dress and how I looked on the wedding day.


5. What is your advice to future brides? 

Have fun with the wedding planning process, and don't forget to enjoy the time you are engaged! Do your research on your vendors, but try to narrow down your list to 3 or 4 people and companies to set up appointments to talk to in person. Otherwise, you can become overwhelmed easily!

"Look of Love" Fashion Show



This past April, we joined forces with Northeast Houston's premier vendors and The Overlook to present our "Look of Love" Fashion show, and now we are sharing this beautiful show with you!

Our fashion show this year had a woodland theme, complete with flower crowns, wavy hairstyles, and gorgeous wedding gowns (of course!). The Overlook hosted our show, and it served as a stunning venue for an outdoorsy fashion show...or just a gorgeous wedding! Their expansive windows and extravagant chandeliers pulled our whole look together!

Of course, we could never have done this without the fabulous vendors that worked with us! All of the photos shown here, and many more, are the work of Joey T Photography. Our flowers that fit our woodland theme perfectly were designed by Flowers of Kingwood, and the hair and makeup for all of our models was done by Epic Looks.
