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 :)

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!

 

We featured dresses from the bridal collections of Essense of Australia, Justin Alexander, and Lillian West. "Look of Love" also featured bridesmaid collections by Sorella Vita, Bill Levkoff, and Saison Blanche. Take a look at a few of the show-stopping gowns shown on the runway!

    

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.

Make an appointment to come in and try on these bridal gowns for your own wedding day!
