The bride trusted me with her complete design and almost
every detail of her wedding. While taking her photos preceremony, her heel got stuck on a rock and (my worst nightmare) she fell in the mud. The back of her custom dupiani silk gown was drenched in mud. I acted fast, called the designer to quickly come to the venue for repair, and we got all of the mud, dirt, and water out of her gown right in time for the ceremony. I touched up her makeup, and sent her down the aisle with a big smile! Not only was her wedding one of my most favorite I’ve ever designed or planned, she is one of my most favorite brides of all time.

THE LOOK THE GOWN | Pronovias Colombia evasé tulle gown from Lulu’s Boutique blends flowers with the most feminine delicateness. An illusion tulle design with embroidered dots and 3D flowers outlines a bateau neckline and very flattering closed back with three quarter length sleeves, also with floral appliqués. Fine jewelry from The True Gem is the perfect accent to this romantic look. THE GROOM | A rose hued tuxedo offers a modern twist to the traditional tux. BEAUTY | A low, no-fuss ponytail allows the focus to be on the bride’s beautiful facial features. Her glamorous look features highlighter, a bold lip and a full set of fluttery lashes from Grand Slam Glam. FLORAL | The lush and romantic floral installation from Lush Couture Floral adorning the pedestal from Beautiful Event Rentals provides the perfect statement. VENUE | Firefly Gardens is an enchanted and secluded eight-acre property, conveniently located just thirty minutes south of DFW. The all white structure features floor-to-ceiling windows and a breathtaking country view.
THE PHOTOGRAPHER Stephanie Brazzle is a fine art wedding photographer based in Dallas. Her style is defined through clean, airy and emotional images. Stephanie loves styling and photographing gorgeous details but her mission is to capture images that are genuine, images that tell the story of your love, that of your families and your one special day.

“My favorite part of my wedding day was our sneak peek before the ceremony. It was so special to see him on this day that we had been waiting months for. I felt totally confident in marrying this man, and it meant the world to me to finally have this day come.” DANI, BRIDE
