Something Blue Editorial | Styled Shoot

Today we have such an exciting shoot to share, that is a bit of a throwback for us! Over the past year (almost), we have gotten to work with some really amazing vendors and publications. And, we are SO thankful for that. This is a stunning styled shoot from an editoral that the “Something Blue Journal” (SBJ) in Dallas put together. We are in love with how the shoot turned out, and love that we get to share it with you.

Something Blue Journal Dallas

SBJ is a really cool publication that was created as a source of inspiration for brides, wedding planners and people who just love weddings. They do a really great magazine, that you can read online, where they show off some amazing vendors, and weddings, of all styles. We were, and still are, so thrilled that they asked us to be a part of issue 001! (We are featured throughout, but have an amazing 4 page spread on pages 32-35) Their founder/ editor has a background in weddings, so she really has seen it all. You will love flipping through the magazine!

 

The Vendors Showed Up

Our day with all of the amazing vendors could not have been better. Everyone that showed up was so talented and showed off their skills in the best way. It was so stinkin’ fun to see just how they transformed the venue, and created the wedding they all envisioned. If you follow our insta, you may even recognize some of the shots. We really are obsessed with them.

Rainy Day Porch Wedding | Brooke and Ryan

We are back to showing off some of our amazing couples and their big days! Brooke and Ryan had such an amazing rainy day full of plan-b ceremony spots, incredible vintage details and lots and lots of special touches. We love that they are a Farmhouse Couple, and love that we get to show off their big day.

 

Rainy Day Leads to Plan B

Once you get to the week of your big day, there are certain things you just can’t control. The weather is number one. All of those people that say, “rain on your wedding day is good luck” mean really really well, but sometimes that isn’t comforting. We are so lucky that we get to offer amazing rain options for your ceremony. Brooke and Ryan planned on getting married outside in front of our amazing tree, but when the weather blew in they had to pivot their plan. Since they had a small enough guest list (max 150 for the porch), they chose to use our stunning porch. We do love that they spoke and prayed together at the tree before the ceremony. So many amazing couples have made their vows and promises to each other there. We loved that they added to how special that spot is.

This was our very first porch wedding, and we could not be more in love with how it looks. The weather, the time of year and their decor really worked together to make it seem like this was the plan all along. Since it was fall the sun was setting earlier, and the clouds made it a pretty dark day overall, so when they lit their candles and dimmed the lights on the porch… our jaws all dropped. The ceremony ended up being so warm, cozy and intimate.

 

Vintage Chic

Brooke and Ryan really had such attention to detail with every piece of their day. They were wildly intentional about every moment and touch they added. From the get-go, everything was perfect and unique to them. The more everyone was setting up, and getting dressed, the more obsessed we were with each touch. The vintage keys, Brooke’s converse and her girls’ mix and match dresses. Everything was so beautiful.

Once the ceremony was completed, they really got the night going. They did a quick cocktail hour while Brooke and Ryan had their portraits done, and then the live music kicked in. Everyone got out of their chairs and was loving the party. It was amazing to see how the live music carried right into their exit. The horns from the band followed them out and played while they made their getaway in one of the coolest cars!

Rehearsal Dinner Locations | The French Farmhouse Venue

After the months and months of planning, decisions become SO hard! Rehearsal Dinner can become an afterthought or something you just completely forgot to think about. Thankfully, where The French Farmhouse is located, you have some amazing options in every direction. Here are a few of our favorites!

 

Denton:

Hannah’s off The Square

Hannah’s is a great restaurant right off of the Historic Downtown Denton square. It has a great atmosphere and is so good for a group. Plus, you are within walking distance of the square! If you have family looking to find a post-rehearsal dinner spot for drinks or dessert, you are right by a bunch of fun options.

(940) 566-1110

11 W Mulberry St, Denton, TX 76201

 

Houlihan’s 

Right inside the Embassy Suites and Denton Convention Center, Houlihan’s is PERFECT if you have a bunch of family coming in from out of town and want to make the most of you all being in the same location. You can all stay in the Embassy and just walk right downstairs for late-night dessert and rehearsal dinner.

940’s Kitchen & Cocktails

Just a block off of the downtown Denton square is 940’s! Since they opened their doors, they have been a Denton staple. It is such a cool restaurant that is nice while still being comfortable. The menu is DELISH and has something for everyone. One thing to note is that they do not have a separate party room but have a party corner on the far end of their bar. They can host a group of up to 20.

219 W Oak St, Denton, TX 76201

 

Babe’s Chicken Dinner House

Most people in the area know about Babe’s! It is exactly what it sounds like- good, delicious fried chicken and sides. It is always a crowd-pleaser and never disappoints. There are a few locations in the area, the closest being in Sanger. But, if you are staying in Frisco, there is a location there as well.

202 N 4th St, Sanger, TX 76266

 

Frisco/ Plano:

Haywire

Haywire is really neat! It is located in Legacy West, on the border of Frisco and Plano, which is an incredible shopping area. Not only is it a great location for people from out of town, but Haywire has some delicious food. The first floor is a Whisky Bar, and the second and rooftop bar have beautiful restaurant seating.

Capital Grille

Just a classic! Capital Grille is an amazing steakhouse and would be amazing for a nice sit-down dinner for you and your closest family and friends. It’ll definitely set the tone for your wedding weekend kickoff, and never disappoints!

Maggianno’s Little Italy

If Italian food is your thing, you will be sold on Maggiano’s. They do family-style meals, which would be perfect for a group. Italian is one of those universal comfort foods, so you can’t go wrong!

6001 W Park Blvd, Plano, TX 75093

 

Renaissance Dallas at Plano Legacy West Hotel

This hotel is amazing for a big rehearsal group, especially if you are planning on having a room block here. Not only is it in a really cool area that would be great for guests to roam around, but you can have a group of any size! If you want just a small group, you can have dinner in the restaurant, or if you want a rehearsal dinner gone welcome party, you can ask about using one of their ballrooms.

Mexican Sugar

Located on the original side of Legacy, Mexican Sugar is a really cool pan-Latin restaurant! The whole vibe is kind of upscale-cantina. The food is SO good, and Legacy is a hard area to beat. It is super walkable, and whether you are on the original east side or in Legacy West, there are awesome hotels for you and your guests to stay at.

Miscellaneous:

 

Kirby’s Steakhouse

Another great Steakhouse! They have amazing food and, since it is located in WinStar World Casino, there is pretty much all the entertainment you could dream of right outside the restaurant. As an added bonus, there is a hotel! It definitely feels wild to out-of-towners that we would suggest a restaurant/ hotel in another state, but we are so close to Oklahoma. It is just a quick drive up 35. So, if you and your family are coming in from the north, this is a great home base for everyone with endless entertainment possibilities.

Prairie House

Delicious, southern home-style food! They have a great banquet room, and will provide the best southern comfort food the night before your big day! It is never a bad idea to treat yourself to your favorite’s on a big weekend!

10001 US-380, Cross Roads, TX 76227

 

Marty B’s

Marty B’s is such a fun spot! They have a great family atmosphere with loads of entertainment and a really great party option- the roof! They frequently have live music, which is always a plus. More importantly, their food is awesome.
