THE LOOK THE GOWN | Modern strapless Vera Wang Ava gown from Stanley Korshak Bridal Salon. FINE JEWELRY | Recycled 18-karat champagne gold drop earrings with round moissanites from The True Gem. HAIR + MAKEUP | For the makeup, Tousled Studio focused on glowing skin with warm tones on the eyes and a light plum color for her lips. Volume and texture was added to the pulled back hair with a twisted lower style for a delicate finish. FLORAL | The modern palette of the bouquet created by Root + Bloom Floral Design consisted of rich mustard, pale yellow, peach and varying shades of complementing pinks. DESIGN + STYLING | Keestone Events envisioned a simplistic design focused on natural light and clean lines. With the help of her vendor team, the vision was brought to life. VENUE | The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth embodies the pure, unadorned elements of a modern work of art with five impressive pavilions of concrete and glass set on eleven landscaped acres including a 1.5 acre reflecting pond.
