We are excited to share with you the new Mr. and Mrs. Kistler! These two are such a treat and really went above and beyond to make their day unique, and SO sentimental. You are probably going to shed a tear or two when you hear about the incredible surprise Courtney pulled off for Dylan!

 

Sentimental Surprise

Courtney and Dylan met a few years ago when they were both students at Vanderbilt! While they were dating, Courtney lived all the way across campus and would ask Dylan to meet her at a specific door. When he would get there he would always text her saying he was at their “special door.” It became their spot, and when Dylan was planning on popping the question- he decided the door was the perfect spot! As a wedding gift, Courtney emailed the chancellor of Vanderbilt and asked if they could have the door shipped from Nashville to Dallas for their wedding. That is what you see on the altar!

I mean.. how amazing is that? Moments and sentimental touches like this are what really make a wedding day! Not only is it so so thoughtful, but how amazing to have such a beautiful piece of their history right there on their biggest day yet!

 

When you think it Can’t get any Better

The weather on the Kistler’s big day was INCREDIBLE. The boys showed up and got to spend some time playing cornhole and doing a bit of putting on the turf. We always love to see the guys hanging out outside before the photos and the ceremony start.

The ceremony… come on. We LOVE flower grandmas, and these two loved being flower girls. They were living for it!

One moment we will never get tired of is watching our couples ring the bell at the chapel! It is hard to explain, but the couple is just so thrilled to be married, they are usually surrounded by their loved ones and their guests get to hear the bell on their walk to cocktail hour. It is just magical!

Congratulations Courtney and Dylan! We could not be happier for you, or more thankful that you are a Farmhouse Couple!

Happy 2023! Another year with some incredible, memorable weddings on the books, and we want to start out by sharing the stunning Schuttenhelm wedding! Jordan and Kyle came to play and had an absolutely unforgettable wedding day. You are going to be obsessed!

 

All The First Looks

Jordan is one sweet bride, and boy is she loved! We are all definitely used to seeing the traditional “first looks” with the groom, and the father of the bride. However, we could not have been more excited when Jordan wanted to do a first look with her bridesmaids AND the groomsmen. Recently there have been a lot of bridesmaid’s first looks, but the groomsmen one is new and SO fun! You can just see how much Jordan’s girls, and how much Kyle’s guys, love her too! All the boys were clapping and cheering for her the minute they turned around. It was a really fun moment, and one we are sure she will remember forever. (Also- the shot of Grandpa seeing Jordan for the first time was too special not to share!)

The BEST first look of all is when the double doors in the Chapel slide open, and the groom sees his bride for the first time. WOW. Kyle’s face said it all! It is always a really beautiful moment when the groom lays eyes on his bride for the first time in her dress.

 

Memorable P-A-R-T-Y

This party was EVERYTHING. We consider ourselves pros at gauging what a reception will be like, and we just knew that this crew would be a blast. Every last one of them was ready to roll and ready to hype their best girl and best guy up. And, boy was Jordan ready to go! She even changed into a party outfit that was to die for! And, like any good party- it is never really going until someone is thrown in the air.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Shuttenhelm! We could not be happier for you, or more thankful that you are a French Farmhouse Couple!
