Real Wedding Wednesday

  ♥ ♥Mr. & Mrs. Brown ♥ ♥

1.Where did you get married?

Walden Country Club in Atascocita, Texas.

2. What was your first dance song?

Then - By Brad Paisley

3. What was your favorite part of the wedding?

The reception- when the ceremony, pictures, toasts and dances were done with and I could finally relax and have a good time.

4. What are you glad you splurged on?

The Open Bar and the photo booth!!

5.  What is your advice for future brides?

Have fun! And also, it takes a long, long time to do hair and makeup the day of! Make sure you start early enough where you are not rushing the initial pictures or running late, that almost happened to me. Also, make sure that the venue is only hosting your wedding the day of, and if possible I would advise anyone to hire a wedding planner to make your day a lot more enjoyable.

Real Wedding Wednesday!

  ♥ ♥Mr. & Mrs. Bennett ♥ ♥

1.Where did you get married?

Ceremony: Westminster United Methodist Church; Reception: Hotel Sorella 

2. What was your first dance song?

 Our first dance was to "It Had To Be You" by Tony Bennett. After knowing my husband for 11 years, the lyrics and style of this song were perfect for us!  

3. What was your favorite part of the wedding?

The best part of the day was having everyone who had been an important part of our lives with us as we became husband and wife. The absolute joy of getting everyone together at one time to celebrate was worth every bit of seating chart, menu, and RSVP stress! 

4. What are you glad you splurged on?

Our biggest splurge was on the venue (Hotel Sorella) and flowers (Events in Bloom). It was definitely worth it! The venue was perfect for us and expressed our style as a couple, and in combination with our gorgeous flowers the reception was absolutely stunning. It was my dream reception space. 

5.  What is your advice for future brides?

After all of the planning is finally over and the day arrives, don't worry about the details. There will always be something that doesn't go according to plan! Sit back and take a moment to soak it in, because the day definitely goes too fast!!

 Where did you get married?

Although my family is from Kingwood, Bobby and I are so in love with the Texas Hill Country that we decided to get married here! Our venue, The Gardens of Cranesbury View, is located in New Braunfels, Texas.

What was your first dance song?

"Perfect Love" by Alpha Rev. They are one of my favorite bands out of Austin, Texas. Bobby had taken me to one of their concerts a while back and this was the first song they played. Since then, we've had quite a few nights spinning around the kitchen to this song.

What was your favorite part of your wedding?

My favorite part would definitely be the setting. The weather was absolutely perfect on our day, and since we were miles away from any city it was very peaceful and tranquil.

What are you glad you splurged on?

We are both very budget-conscious, so most of our decision making was made through that lens and allowed us to not get attached to anything we couldn't afford. At face value, however, the venue was probably a little more expensive than other venues, but considering it included full service wedding coordination and an array of added freebies (linens, tables, glasses, chairs) I think we got quite the bargain!

What is your advice to future brides?  

Try not to control everything. Your friends and family want so badly to be a part of your special day and make it memorable for you. Take some stress off of yourself and let some of your friends and family plan parts of the wedding that you don't 100% need to be involved in.

Get the Look: The Oscars

We enjoyed watching the Oscars last night and of course loved all the fashion. Check out a couple of our bridal pairings below and also our best dressed list.

Jennifer Garner always looks flawless, and this color on her was amazing! Get the look for your big day with Mikaella Bridals (1508). 

Amy Adams looked like such a sweetheart in this light blue Ballgown! I would also like to point out that her jewelry is perfection. Get the look with this Saison Blanche ruffled ballgown.

Whittington Bridal's best dressed at the Oscars:

Kari's Pick: Jennifer Lawrence in Dior

"This dress is so flattering, I love the way the skirt makes such a grand statement. I think she had a great moment on the red carpet." 

Jenna's Pick: Amy Adams in Oscar de la Renta

" I loved how flirty and feminine it is. It just looked fun! I loved seeing her sitting in the front row with all those ruffles spilling over everywhere."

Leah's Pick: Jessica Chastain in Armani Prive

"Jessica looked so Old Hollywood in this dress, but what I really loved was the color! There was almost a rosegold tone to it and it was so beautiful on her skin."

1.Where did you get married?

We got married at The Gallery here in Houston.

2. What was your first dance song?

 Our first dance song was "You Have My Attention" by Copeland

3. What was your favorite part of the wedding?

 My favorite part of the wedding was every part that had to do with getting married to Jeff (our vows, being pronounced, etc.), but also the first look we did before the ceremony. It was fun getting to see Jeff's reaction to seeing me for the first time and getting to share some private time before we were the center of attention all night.

4. What are you glad you splurged on?

 I am glad we splurged on photo and video. We got high quality products that have forever captured our special fleeting moments of that night.

5.  What is your advice for furture brides?

The best advice I was given for my actual wedding was to stay with my husband the whole night. The whole night was happening for us and it was easy for people to try to talk to us and separate us from each other. We talked to everybody as a pair and stuck together the whole night and we were able to enjoy it together!
