inspired to make every day, life + work stellar

The wedding video just came in! It’s a great feeling to relive the biggest day of my sister’s life {and a huge day for our family too!}. ! It was filled with so much love + joy.

If you’re in the middle of planning your wedding, I highly recommend budgeting for a videography to capture the biggest day of your life. The day goes by so fast. After all the craziness, it’s nice to go back in time to relive these moments.

JH Photography did an amazing job capturing the most memorable moments and details of Donna and James’s wedding ceremony at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church and the wedding reception at The Bell Tower in Houston.

Check out the wedding video below:

I think there was no doubt that I would be helping my one, and only sister, plan her wedding. Let’s just say for the most part, she was one relaxed bride during the whole planning process + on her wedding day as well. The hardest part of the planning process was that she was planning her wedding 200 miles away. Let’s say she racked a lot of mileage!

Once she determined the color palette for her dream wedding, we set off to plan the details of the decor. Inspired by ombre, she chose peach {not orangy peach, but pink peach…it was fun relaying that to the vendors} pinks, and blush. My sister has really great taste {+ very selective} so it’s not surprising that everything she chose was beautiful + well thought out!

The wedding took place in Houston, Texas. The wedding ceremony was held at St. Vincent de Paul. The pink peach, romantic Hollywood glam wedding reception was held at The Bell Tower.

Let’s go straight to the gorgeous details!

The bride’s beautiful Enzoani “Erin” lace wedding dress. Donna removed a good amount of the tulle to make it less “poofy”.

The stunningly gorgeous couple! I still can’t believe my younger sister is married {I’m tearing up looking back at these photos!}

The bridal party. How handsome are these gentlemen in their tuxedos + bridesmaids in their one shoulder blush pink chiffon dress?

The bridal party flowers arranged with a variety of ivory, peach and peach roses, tulips, + hanging amaranthus! {clockwise: bride bouquet, groom boutonniere, groomsman boutonniere, bridesmaid bouquet}.

The life-size initials adorned the arches of the ballroom’s courtyard. We spent all night crafting these huge initials!

The center of the ballroom featured a custom calligraphy monogram penned by Kathryn at Della Carta. The uplighting and monogram stencil were provided by RLF Society. The bridal party table was arranged in an “L” shape and placed in front of the dance floor. The tables were lined with gorgeous rosette linens, two grand floral arrangements and candles float around the perimeter of the table. The ombre wedding cake took the center stage with beautiful lighting shining on the delicious wedding cake.

This ombre pink + peach wedding cake took center stage. Shimmery sheer drapes were hung from the arches and created a glowing backdrop for the cake.

The invitation really set the tone for the wedding. We used the cascading dots + hearts that lined the bottom of the invitation and incorporated that design in every paper element {left: escort cards, kids table with coloring books, crayons, + animal figurines, side bow sashes on the chairs, and a 3-D heart art installation as the guestbook}.

A menu card + box favor filled with chocolates greeted the guests at their respective seats. We hand painted the glittery table numbers and placed them in front of the tall floral arrangements.

How beautiful are these tall floral arrangements? Each table had a unique, tall floral arrangement.

DJ Dis B John rocked the ballroom… Our guests never wanted to leave the dance floor! Guests were provided with flashing blinky lights + bubbles.

The wedding went without a hitch! Phuong at Mi Bella Rosa did a fantastic job coordinating the reception, making sure we were on schedule and all the details were together.

The most important part of the big day is that the bride + groom really enjoy the entire day with their guests. Judging by this photo, Donna + James’s had the best time at their wedding! We’re thankful + fortunate to have the best vendors who really came through!

Congratulations Donna + James!
