Real Wedding: Texas Chic

I love this wedding. And not just because it took place in Austin (although that definitely scored points with me). I love it because of the unbelievably sweet and charming details. You can see the couple's unique personalities infused into all of the perfect little touches. There are also so many creative DIY ideas. So if you are a bride-to-be, take notes!
This first picture, shot at Hotel St. Cecilia where Amy got dressed, completely rocks. It truly encompasses the hipness of Austin's South Congress Street.The bride wore a handmade crocheted lace gown by Magda Berliner. Her pink shoes are such a sweet touch!The bridesmaids wore their own dresses in pops of color that the bride requested. To pull the look together they all wore cowboys boots. (brilliant!) This next detail has to be my fave. Bays of hay covered with handmade quilts served as the perfect seating for the ceremony. With the help of family and friends the bride hung tons of Martha Stewart poms poms from the ceiling of their venue.
I love that so many details of this wedding were created by family and friends. The bride's friend did all of the flowers and favors were pecans from her sister-in-law's farm.
Ok, and definately a steal-worthy idea. In lieu of a guestbook, the couple set up a photobooth with a chalkboard. Guests were photographed with their hand-written wishes for the bride and groom. What a wonderful idea!

    I love Austin + Anthro






    Hooray for Austin! I was so excited to see these images of my beloved college town in the June issue of Anthropolgie! These pics, featuring some of my favorite Austin hot spots, (Jos, Gueros Taco Bar, Alamo Draft House!) just make me so giddy. The shots really capture the eccentric, hip vibe of South Congress Street.
    Perfect Bound hit the nail on the head when she said "some of the shots in the catalogue look more like an out-of-this-world save the date than anything else?" She is so right, and Austin is an amazing venue for weddings :-)
    Thanks you Anthro for spotlighting such an amazing city! Now please get my bathing suit in stock and mailed to me!
