Alex & Erin’s Winter Wedding at Oak Tree Manor

It was so cold and the temperature was beginning to drop as the snowpocalypse was making it’s way to Houston. Alex & Erin were getting ready in different rooms in the cute little bridal cottage at Oak Tree Manor.

Guests grabbed blankets, beers and pride flags at the entrance to the ceremony. They wrapped themselves up in rainbow, unicorn and many more fun blankets as they anxiously awaited the ceremony.

Alex & Erin were grinning ear to ear as the wedding ceremony started. the officiant joked that It was fitting that Alex & Erin had their wedding on such a cold night because their first date was Cryotherapy.

The happy couple made their grand entrance down the spiral staircase right into their first dance, which was magical. Whispering tendrils of smoke licked Alex & Erin’s ankles as they glided around the dance floor. After the first dance, the couple did a cute TikTok dance with their boys.

At the end of the night, the guests braved the cold again to light floating lanterns.

What a magical wedding! I am so grateful I was able to capture it for the amazing couple.

Summer Wedding Inspiration

It’s officially summer (in 2 days), and you know what that means.

Sweat stains, mosquito’s, and broken AC’s
Margaritas by the pool, fun at the beach and summer-time weddings!

Summer weddings in Houston can be a little tricky, but a lot of fun if you follow a few simple rules.

  1. Please, please, please do not have an outdoor wedding at high-noon in the middle of summer. Summer outdoor weddings in Houston can be really beautiful and tolerable closer to dusk, but stifling closer to noon.
  2. Be aware of your surroundings.
    1. AstroTurf traps heat. It could be 80 degrees in the shade, but 160 in the middle of the turf.
    2. Concrete reflects light & heat.
    3. Consider a wedding under ancient oak trees.
  3. Make sure you have a nearby facility with AC & cool drinks on hand.
  4. Offer fans or umbrellas to your guests for your ceremony (if you are having an outdoor wedding).
  5. Have a sunscreen & mosquito spray station.

Colors

Teal, pink, Lemon, Lime, violet

Fun vibrant colors are great for summer weddings. Make sure if you are going to have a darker color like violet to pare it with a brighter colors like lemon. You can find amazing color pallets on Pinterest by just searching “summer colors.”

 

Flowers
