L+D : Vintage Speakeasy Inspired Wedding

Amazing photography by Laura and Eric Sartoris of Anthology Photography :-)

Today we celebrate our first anniversary as husband and wife!  I could not resist posting yours truly's own wedding, and sharing our "Vintage Speakeasy" themed wedding to inspire you.

At the risk of sounding cheesy, it was truly our "Best Day Ever".
We felt so much love and happiness all weekend, with both families together and friends all around. We wanted a comfortable relaxed setting for everyone to get to know each other through the long weekend, ending with one heck of a party... we got all of that and more.



I was so enamored by all things vintage, I wanted touches of it in every aspect of the decor, music, and dress.  Imagine a bit of a vintage glam, speakeasy inspired dress and decor.
My bridesmaids were utterly glamorous! They wore mismatched floor length black dresses with vintage jewelry, and the guys wore dark gray suits with vintage tweed vests. My dress was a simple tiered A-line, but my mom made a gorgeous sash in black velvet with old brooches, feathers and silk flowers.

We felt so much 'love' around us, that we used that as a central theme as well. In the end, it was a bit eclectic, much like my style, but completely perfect for us.
Enjoy our photos...I hope they inspire you to find your own style and run with it.

A Snowy day in Texas...well, we do not hear that too often! Especially in Austin, so we created it!
Working with amazing photographer Suzi Q VarinPolkadots Cupcakes, and Stationary Bakery, we created a winter white feast for the eyes! Watch the sugar glimmer in the sun, just like light off snow.
These delectable delights look amazing on our Susanna white vintage table.
My favorites are the gold IKAT design on the cake, and the handmade signage for the table & "snow to
go" bags.! So stinkin' cute!


Thanks to Suzi, Olga, and Sara for creating such a fun day and fabulous table!
