Wedding Announcement

Kristin & Joseph

2012-01-31T11:41:00.002-06:00

Check out www.loveandlavendar.com, they featured the beautiful wedding of Kristin and Joseph's, designed by Couture Events by Lottie. (See below)

We really love this wedding. The bride put together a really beautiful event with help from Couture Events by Lottie. Here is what they had to say about Kristin and Joseph’s special day: I am creating a new word for this wedding… earthchic. While Kristin loved textures like burlap, she still loved the frilly feel of ruffles. And while she adores moss, she still loves a clean and chic look. We really worked earthy elements into the wedding without going overkill and still keeping a classy appeal. There were so many beautiful details including an heirloom brooch bouquet by Red Sole Events, coloring station for the kiddos, props for the guests’ amusement, mismatched vintage china by Rent My Dust, personalized cd favors, a wishing tree, adorable programs by Southern Fried Paper, an elaborate treat spread by Legacy Cakes Grapevine, a super romantic bridal cake by Sugar Bee Sweets and one super cool ring bearer. It was such a wonderful day! We are lucky and blessed to know this couple and their beautiful family!

Amy & David's wedding is featured in the current issue of DWeddings. We love to see couples have fun with color, the bold color palette with white floral accents made a beautiful backdrop for a fun ceremony and reception. Amy's bouquet was beautifully done by Bows and Arrows!

Abby & Kevin

2012-01-06T10:57:00.003-06:00

You met Abby and Kevin in their unique and unconventional engagement session, tacky Christmas sweaters turned paint war. Here they are again in a truly unique and unconventional wedding day experience at the Hickory Street Annex wedding venue in Dallas, Texas. Abby chose a beautiful green and white color combination, complimenting her gorgeous red hair perfectly, though she’s so absolutely stunning she would have looked great no matter what!

There were so many wonderful moments during their ceremony that I just had to pull more than usual

Hickory Street Annex Wedding by After Yes + Sarah Kate, Photographer

December 12th. 2011 by Emilia Jane | Filed Under | 3 comments

This pretty little vintage number by After Yes and Sarah Kate, Photographer has certainly brightened up my Monday morning. If the rest of the week looks half has good as this then it will be a lovely week indeed. Old world charm meets modern romance in a Dallas wedding filled to the brim with eye-popping details. There are homemade jams and some of the cutest cakes I have ever laid eyes on and that is just a taste of the goodness in store for you. Go to the full gallery to see it all!

From the Groom…When we first started planning our wedding, we knew immediately that we wanted to accomplish three things: (1) create a relaxed, intimate setting designed to maximize our quality time with loved ones, (2) give honor to our family and our past throughout the night and (3) incorporate personal touches that held meaning to the both of us. What we didn’t know quite so immediately was how complex that planning could become. Thankfully, we found Elizabeth (with “After Yes”) who was able to translate our quirky style into the lovely wedding that we never knew we always wanted.

Strategically placed couches (covered with antique quilts) and carefully chosen local wines and beer created the relaxed environment we were looking for and a sit-down, four course meal gave us the opportunity to celebrate with our closest loved ones in a small personal setting.

My wife and I look to our parents as living roadmaps to a successful marriage (after all they’ve managed to make it work for some 40 odd years themselves) so a simple way we chose to honor them was to use their wedding colors as our own, blue for my folks and yellow for hers. My sister is famous for her homemade jam’s, so it was a “no-brainer” to gift our guests with her Banana Jam, our personal favorite (so much so that it also made its way as a filling into one of our five different wedding cakes). We were also able to hunt down and put on display old family photo’s of couples going back five generations on each side of our growing family tree.

My wife and I are embarrassingly obsessed with surrounding ourselves with antiques, so why would our wedding be any different? A few of our favorite items were: an antique typewriter serving as our “guest book” (also used when we addressed our invitations), a 1901 gramophone used during our first dance, a 1950’s Chevy pick-up truck used as our “get-away” vehicle and selected vintage Dallas postcards used as place settings.

For days after the wedding we heard over and over again that the night was “soooo you two”… and to us that’s the best compliment we could ever receive.

The Fair

2011-10-04T08:32:00.002-05:00

I always love the opening of the State Fair. This video was made last year by Jim Herndon of On Location Portraiture with a regular camera and not a video camera.

Hickory Street Annex is walking distance to the Fair. I'll be making a visit soon!

The Most Requested Cake in our History!

2011-09-15T21:28:00.003-05:00

This cake was from Brooke and Patrick's wedding a few years ago. I still get requests for the cake stand and the bakery. I think it was from Fancy Cakes by Lauren and the florist was The Wildflower. The stand is made from 3 clear plexiglass boxes.

picture ledges

2011-09-05T21:16:00.008-05:00

We noticed that our brides liked to hang things in the lobby so a few months ago we installed some narrow picture ledges on the long wall where you enter. I liked this photo from Bailey and Nathan's wedding (in the current issue of D Weddings). The photo was taken by Katie Norris. I did a rough sketch that shows the placement of the ledges. The spacing allows for both tall and short objects, there is even room for a life size bridal portrait (although you might want to think about where you are going to hang such a thing after your wedding)!

Tasha had such a fun positive attitude during the planning process! Such a sweet couple and so in love - it really comes through in this video by the very talented When It Clicks! The beginning of this video is a great example of a "first peak" They really enjoyed their moments together and just forgot the camera was even around.
