SLOAN WEDDING DRESS
When you find a wedding dress with your name, you know it’s meant to be. The Label bride, Sloane, stumbled upon her wedding dress at a&be Austin. Originally torn between two different The Label styles, knowing that one gown shared her name definitely felt like fate.
Not only did Sloane ultimately choose SLOAN wedding dress to wear down the aisle, but she also incorporated simple bridal accessories that went along with the sleek nature of this minimalistic wedding dress. SLOAN’s thin spaghetti straps and crisscross back were accented by ‘Caroline Veil’ by Sara Gabriel. This scatter embellished bridal veil with Swarovski crystals and pearls added the perfect amount of sparkle. Catching the light, but not overpowering her simple The Label wedding dress or sweep bridal train.
Sloane’s statement pearl bridal earrings framed her face and complimented her wavy wedding hairstyle. The faux freshwater pearls of ‘Harper Pearl Drop Earrings’ by Untamed Petals paired beautifully with SLOAN wedding gown’s ivory satin sheen. Creating a modern classic wedding theme that spoke to current bridal trends, this The Label slip wedding dress was elevated by effortless bridal accessories.
MODERN WEDDING VENUES TEXAS
Sloane and Nate’s picturesque wedding ceremony took place in The Arlo’s Storie Hall space. This unique Texas wedding venue was extremely well-lit and had a luxurious allure. With an 18-foot window acting as their wedding ceremony altar backdrop, natural light engulfed Sloane and Nate as they exchanged vows.
Keeping their wedding ceremony decor simple, two white pedestals lined either side of the altar and slender silver vases held fluffy floral arrangements. Clusters of baby’s breath were fastened to the exterior of chairs lining the aisle with sheer white ribbons tied in delicate bows.
MIRROR WEDDING SEATING CHART
Upon entering The Ballroom, where their neutral rustic wedding reception was taking place, guests were greeted by an arched mirror seating chart. Decorated with paper place cards attached by brass wax seals, this sophisticated wedding seating chart was definitely chic.
As guests walked further into the airy ballroom, white tablecloths covered round tables and farmhouse wooden cross back chairs were arranged around the wedding tables. Blue floral print wedding napkins were neatly folded over simple ceramic plates and gauze was draped along two chairs to show where the bride and groom would be sitting.
WEDDING CHAMPAGNE
Whether you want wedding champagne glasses for a toast or are planning to create a glamorous champagne tower, Sloane and Nate’s wedding had plenty of bubbly ideas to spare. Chilled champagne was served on an acrylic bar cart in the bridal suite as Sloane and her crew got ready for the wedding ceremony. With clear champagne flutes and pink and metallic paper straws, Sloane and her bridesmaids kicked off the day in celebration.
Later that evening, after their dreamy wedding ceremony, Sloane and Nate poured a bottle of champagne over a tower of glasses. With Sloane leaning in to take a sip and Nate holding the bottle up cheerfully, this photojournalistic wedding photo is a favorite for sure.
LAST DANCE AND SPARKLER EXIT
After dining on their wedding cake and sparkling champagne, a sparkler wedding exit awaited the couple. Before heading out to meet their guests, Sloane and Nate shared a private last dance. With their whole reception room cleared, this romantic moment was savored by both the bride and groom.
After their last dance alone, Sloane and Nate ran through the wedding sparkler tunnel created by their guests. Departing in a mixture of exuberance and gratitude, The Fredricks finally got to celebrate their big day with all of their loved ones by their side.
