Sarah + Jacob's Sweet Summer Barnhouse Wedding

Sarah and Jacob’s July wedding is the perfect example of a lush, light, and bright summer event. Texas summers bring a whole new meaning to the phrase “blushing bride,” and Sarah and her 14 (yes, 14!) bridesmaids looked stunning with their bouquets full of pastel-toned blooms. We collaborated with Jen Rios on this wedding; we always love helping her brides bring their visions to life! It was a joy to create sweet and summery floral elements for Sarah and Jacob. 

After a ceremony at St. Patrick Cathedral, everyone headed to The Nest at Ruth Farms to celebrate the newlyweds! The barn that housed the reception is big and spacious with beautiful, simple details. We designed centerpieces and tall greenery arrangements to accessorize the guest tables and a garland embellished with flowers for the head table. This reception design was sweet and elegant with delicate touches that we just love!

Both the floral centerpieces and the greenery gave so much life and texture to this airy venue space and brought some lovely summer dew and brightness indoors! The delicate blooms in the arrangements and the garland paired beautifully with the elegant, gold-accented place settings. We love how the taller arrangements bring the eyes up and add so much dynamism to the room. Greenery can make a great statement just as well as flowers!

Finally, we want to touch on one very special detail, and the element that accompanies the bride all day: her bouquet. Sarah’s bouquet had the perfect combination of blush, lavender, and blue flowers with delicate touches of greenery. This light and sweet bouquet perfectly accessorized our blushing bride! 

The night ended with the newlyweds being sent off by their loving guests with sparklers and escaping in their getaway car! You can see more in their lovely video here.

Although all weddings come to an end, we love being a part of the lasting memories created with the help of wedding photography. Flowers can truly make whatever venue you choose feel like your own custom wedding destination and will live on forever in your photos. Whether you’ve been eyeing your dream venue for years or are an out-of-town bride like Sarah, we can promise to put your mind at ease when it comes to the event design so you can be truly wowed when you walk into your own reception.
