Julie + James’ sunset garden wedding was sweet, romantic with an elegant black tie reception. I love the rich purple floral decor as a vibrant touch for an October wedding that translates perfectly outdoors and in. And don’t miss Julie’s Rivini trumpet gown in lace and silk with a subtle tier design with unique patterns of lace in each tier. Julie explains, “From far away it looks simple, but close up, it is full of detail.  I loved it, and I did not want to take off the dress sample–I would have been happy wearing it home!” Congrats to the happy couple!
Julie + James | October 13, 2012 | Dallas, Texas
The Ceremony
We wanted to have the ceremony and the reception in the same location. Â When we walked into the Rosewood Crescent Hotel, I knew it was the perfect choice! Â We got married in a beautiful garden at sunset!
The Reception
We held the reception in a wonderful ballroom at the Crescent. Â It was beautiful and whimsical, with just the perfect amount of cozy. Â It made for an amazing evening!
Julie’s Dress Search
I did not have an idea for my dress, but I did know that I wanted to buy it surrounded by my favorite ladies! Â I was so lucky to have my mother-in-law, sister, and best friend fly in to join my mom and I to go dress shopping. Â We had a wonderful day trying on beautiful, gorgeous, and a few crazy (feathers!) dresses, but when I put on my dress, I knew it was THE ONE! Â It is elegant but fun. Â From far away it looks simple, but close up, it is full of detail. Â I loved it, and I did not want to take off the dress sample–I would have been happy wearing it home! Â
How Julie Felt in Her Wedding Dress
Beautiful, Elegant and Perfect
Why Julie Decided to Sell Her Wedding Dress
My dress is beautiful and made me feel so special. Â The day would have been perfect regardless, as I married the man of my dreams, but to feel absolutely stunning was just the icing on the (wedding) cake! Â I hope that this dress will help someone else have that same experience at her wedding!
