Real Weddings: Heather + Kevin

Heather and Kevin are such a sweet, laid-back and genuinely happy couple. They met four years ago at an indoor race track where Heather was working and shortly after they began dating, the couple moved to Seattle where Kevin was relocated for the Coast Guard. The two decided on an intimate ceremony and reception back home in Houston, Texas where their love first bloomed and the Gardens of Bammel Lane couldn't have been a more appropriate setting for their charming celebration, captured by Sarah McKenzie Photography.

 While visiting from Seattle, Heather had to visit multiple venues in a short period of time but ultimately ended up with The Gardens of Bammel Lane. Her priorities included a beautiful outdoor ceremony and lots of natural greenery and floral - GOBL was the perfect match!

 

Heather chose a very neutral but feminine color palette of pastel pinks, light gray and white. Tamara Menges Designs really brought the colors to life through her floral arrangements!

 

Their music: Heather walked down the aisle to "1000 Years" Instrumental, and their first dance song was "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green.

 

It was such a touching moment to witness Heather and her mother share a dance. We love special moments like this!

 

It wouldn't be a wedding with out some "Gangham Style" dance moves!

The Gardens of Bammel Lane Open House



Happy Wednesday! Today's feature is our custom style and design board for The Gardens of Bammel Lane Fall Open House on October 4th. We always look forward to working with Alison from GOBL and assisting with this particular event. The venue is a charming garden surrounded by boutique cottages  in the middle of the Upper Kirby district. We'd like to say it's Houston's best kept secret but not for much longer. It's the perfect venue for clients looking for a garden theme or natural, botanical feel. The scenery does wonders for the style and decor all on it's own, and it complements various wedding styles.

 

For this years open house, we were inspired by the latest pastel trend but wanted to bring it into the fall season. Ivory, peach and sage green is our color palette with pops of pink. In addition to the pastel color palette, we are incorporating succulents into the floral arrangements by Something Special In Flowers, and Recollection Vintage Rentals is putting their Alice in Weddingland twist on it with their mix of eclectic and vintage furniture & trinkets. We don't want to give away too much without spoiling the event, but in the meantime feast your eyes on our inspiration board or check out the Gardens of Bammel Lane Pinterest board for more style goodness.
