{Haute Wedding} Chelsey + Robert

Planning a wedding is always an amazing experience for a wedding planner. You get to witness such an intimate experience and it never takes long before you fall in love with the couple and their families. The experience is always magnified when you already love the couple before the planning even begins! 

I was lucky enough to know Robert in college and was blessed to know Chelsey not too long after. They are such a fun couple with amazing family and friends! It was such an honor to be a part of their wedding! The gorgeous photos from Catherine Guidry Photography really highlight the thought and purpose that Chelsey put into their big day. There were so many special and unique nods to their families...I don't want to spoil it! Enjoy!

Chelsey wore her mother's wedding gown...take a minute to let that sink in. How special is that!?!?!?! Obviously, a first look with her mother was a must!!!

Gorgeous!!!!

Chelsey's sweet nieces were beyond adorable!

What a sweet father of the bride! Chelsey's gift to him was perfect! A side by side photo of her and her mother in the same gorgeous gown...I just can't! 

These gorgeous photos were done by a very special florist...the mother of the bride!!!

One of my favorite photos!

Not only was the mother of the bride the amazing florist...but the reception was held at the bride's parent's home! Talk about a lovely backyard celebration...it was amazing!

Due to the fact that the groom went to my high school's rival...I must make fun of him for this groom's cake! Cats eat Dragon Meat! Go Wampus Cats! ;)

I LOVE these rustic chandeliers in the tent!

An adorable first dance crasher...love!

When one of your best friend's is a talented musician, you absolutely MUST have him sing your first dance song!

And then the party really happened!

This wedding was so much fun and this couple is just adorable! Congrats Chelsey and Robert!!!

{Haute Candles} Sarah + Kevan

What an amazing experience it was to work on Sarah + Kevan's wedding! She had a vision for her ceremony and reception that was simply stunning...and full of candles! We continue to be obsessed with this couple, family, and her vendors...and after the photos below, you'll see why!

Now, most of these photos are iPhone photos but you'll see the photo collages below from the amazingly talented Collin Richie...seriously, we are in awe of his work! Enjoy!

Flowers and stands from the amazing Bella Blooms Floral.

The steps of St. Agnes were also decked with votives...so dreamy!

Oh...and the reception...oh, it was gorgeous! The guests were welcomed with hundreds of votives in a  swirl design at the Capitol Park Museum. These photos do not do it justice!

But we didn't stop there!

And now...the professional photos!

It's shocking that this was almost a year ago! Congrats to this beautiful couple...thank you so much for letting us be a part of it! We loved it! ;)
