“My favorite memory was my first look with Tyler! That moment was so real and gave us clarity in preparing to get married. It was so sweet and amazing to see each other, wipe out any nerves and just remember why we were there to celebrate. It was important to have that one on one time.” – Gabrielle + Tyler

“My favorite memory was seeing Chris at the altar when my dad and I walked into the sanctuary. All of the preparation and anticipation finally led to that moment. I was so overcome with emotion in the moment and I could not take my eyes off of him.” – Noelle + Christopher

“Our absolute favorite vendors were Jill Boyle, the owner of Davis and Grey Farms, and our wedding planner, Tara Myers of Artisan Rose Event Co. Our wedding went off without a hitch because of these two amazing women and their teams.” – Morgan + Marcos

“My very favorite memory was walking through the ceremony doors with my dad and seeing Brian smiling at me. At that moment it became so real. The day we had dreamed of was finally here and I was marrying my best friend. Seeing him put me completely at ease and my nerves were gone.” – Jennifer + Brian

“My favorite memory was when Caleb and I read our vows to each other. We wrote our own vows for our wedding day in May 2020, but not many people got to hear them. So, we re-wrote our vows and modified them for our vow renewal. Getting to re-promise all of those things to each other was so special in front of friends and family.” – Courtney + Caleb

With five days of sneak peeks behind us, it’s finally time to share the all-new Spring/Summer 2022 cover of Brides of North Texas – hooray! After diving into the photo gallery of our Iconic Love fashion editorial, captured by the uber talented Outland Weddings, we knew we had a cover photo on our hands.

 

The luxurious Thompson Dallas hotel served as the perfect location to shoot the editorial, featuring a modern take on bridal fashion, with its contemporary aesthetic, rooftop pool and downtown Dallas city streets running alongside. The model bride’s dresses ranged from modern and sleek styles to classic silhouettes, but the crepe chiffon Monica Loretti gown from LeAnn’s Bridal was the perfect compilation of the trends with a square neck, long puff sleeves with buttons and a low, plunging back. JM Glamour created a natural, dewy makeup look by applying minimal foundation with bronzer and highlighter for contour. Rose gold shadow and a nude lip were the focus of the look, complemented by smooth, shoulder-length hair in soft curls. The bride was also styled with round CZ stud Kenneth Jay Lane earrings and the rose quartz Gemma bobby pin by Jennifer Behr. Her groom complemented the high end look with a black tuxedo jacket and pants. Blue Posy Designs created a flower bomb outside the hotel entrance using various white and blush roses, white stock, white delphinium and baby’s breath for a classic, yet textural installation worthy of a chic downtown elopement.

 

Congrats to Outland Weddings on snagging his first Brides of North Texas magazine cover! Stay tuned in the days to come when we share all five bridal looks from the editorial alongside the behind the scenes video arful filmed by Ocular Pop. Plus, the new issue is now available for purchase online – order your copy here!
