The stunning venue and vibrant, linear elements throughout this editorial helped these two achieve a contemporary vibe with plenty of allure. Located in the heart of the Arts District, The Nasher Sculpture Center is home to some of the most iconic sculptures in Texas. Who knew such a lush garden could be hiding amid towering skyscrapers?

As for fashion, the bride wore The Wondrous gown. Designed by Ines Di Santo, the dress features a structured bodice with a delicate mesh open back. Your eye is drawn down to the full, textured skirt, making the dress feel effortlessly feminine. The floor-length horsehair veil completed the look beautifully. Later, the bride changed into a BHLDN pleated mini-dress with a ruffled neckline – a fun fashion statement for cutting the cake and strutting the streets in style!

The Groom sported a dashing, custom Don Morphy and velvet bow tie. The bridesmaid floor-length dress from Jenny Yoo with velvet detailing included a floral pattern to give a nature-like touch – a simple and gorgeous tie back to the aesthetic of this unforgettable wedding shoot.

A recurring theme throughout this shoot was a pleated pattern, as seen in the menus, table linen, candle holders, reception dress, and bridal accessories. The wedding gown, escort display, and cake also include ruffled textures. Jennifer knew that Posh Couture Rentals would be perfect for providing table pieces. “Starting with the linen, I knew we needed texture! I also wanted to bring in green pieces to compliment the Nasher’s outdoor space, so the chargers, napkins, cake plates and etched glassware gave us that garden-esque feeling,” said Jennifer. These thoughtful choices gave the shoot a whimsical touch, surprisingly complemented by the contemporary sculptures in the garden. Olivia Merrit with Olive Grove Design provided floral arrangements perfect for the space. After collaborating with Jennifer, Olivia believed that an “overgrown feeling” would best fit the reception tables. “I wanted organic and lush florals for the reception table, so I chose stems and blooms that would emulate a garden.” said Olivia. The ceremony backdrop features one of the most iconic sculptures in Dallas. Olivia felt it was vital to incorporate the structural aspects of the venue. “…harlow stands were chosen for the base of the ceremony floral installation. It was important to not take anything away from the sculpture as the focal point for the ceremony, so I kept the florals low and not overbearing.” Olivia said.

Custom stationery, provided by Hazelwood Paper Co, displayed a blind embossed pattern around the edges of the invitation, matching the green color of the charger plates in the tablescape. The vertical invitation sleeve and back pocket, also blind embossed, included a wax seal embellished with dried florals. The envelope liner was made with textured metallic gold paper. Thanks to the ingenious creativity of Kristin Hazelwood, a dual-purpose card at each seat served as both a name place card and a menu that was printed on the other side. This simple, personalized component of the reception experience is not only a conversation piece, but would serve as a memorable keepsake for every guest!

Jennifer and Kelsey achieved their aesthetic vision through a careful selection of materials to marry both bold and soft elements for a modern yet romantic atmosphere. The color palette incorporates both dramatic and muted qualities, resulting in an unconventionally gorgeous design. The combination of gold metals, bright orange candles, and subtle blush tones allowed for a unique style sure to be remembered.

As the first feature to greet guests as they stroll through the museum’s outdoor garden, the seating arrangement is truly an original piece of art in itself. Designed by Hannah Rodriguez with Vim and Venture, the “one of a kind” installation included some of her favorite materials, including wood, acrylic, and fabric.  “I love incorporating depth and texture into my builds, and this project was no exception. My inspiration was a floating paneled art installation, which sparked an idea for a seating chart. I dyed green fabric with layered elements inspired by the Nasher’s willow tree and the wind moving through the leaves,” Hannah writes.
