Some weddings are a day. Alexis and Chandler’s was a whole weekend — and what a weekend it was. Tucked into the rolling Texas Hill Country just outside Glen Rose, Rough Creek Lodge set the stage for three days of celebration that felt equal parts luxury retreat and down-home Texas party. From the first “welcome, y’all” to the final firework fading over the ranch, this was the kind of destination wedding weekend our team lives for.

If you’ve never been, picture 9,000-plus acres of Texas Hill Country beauty, sitting a comfortable 90 minutes from the DFW metroplex — close enough to be easy, far enough to feel like a true escape.

Brooklyn and Dylan’s wedding day at Chandelier Farms was the kind of spring wedding that feels straight out of a movie — colorful blooms, golden sunlight, nonstop laughter, and two people completely and undeniably in love. Every detail reflected joy, but the heart of the day was always Brooklyn and Dylan themselves. Sweet, genuine, and so clearly meant for each other, they made everyone around them feel the love from the very beginning of the day to the very last dance.

Some wedding days are beautiful because everything goes exactly according to plan. Others are beautiful because of the way everyone comes together when things don’t.

Audrey and Ethan’s wedding day at The Nest at Ruth Farms was definitely the second kind.

As high school sweethearts and long distance partners, these two have already weathered years of life’s seasons together. So when rain clouds settled over North Texas on their wedding day, it seemed fitting that their celebration would become a beautiful reminder that the best things often come after the storm.

Chrissa and Nate’s wedding – or should I say epic day to remember? What an amazing one! Chrissa chose a blue and white palette and the florals by Millie May Blooms were breathtaking. The flowers lining the aisle of the chapel with the view of the lake in the background, were awe-inspiring, especially combined with the sounds of strings from Emily Burak. Not only did the 9 beautiful bridesmaids wear blue, but the 250 guests were adorned in shades of blue and black as well, adding to the already stunning Gardenia venue.
