A Little Snow | Jillian and John

We have such an insane (in the best way!) wedding for you today! Everyone, say “hello” to Jillian and John. They had the most beautiful wedding. Throughout this little story you mayyyy be noticing that the venue is completely covered in SNOW.

A Dusting of Snow

Everyone in Texas knows that it is not common to get legitimate, real-deal snow. But, that is exactly what we got the day before Jillian and John’s wedding. The most beautiful snow came in… and kept falling… and fell some more. To say we were shocked by the 10 inches we got at the venue is an understatement. And, to say Jillian and John were shocked is an even bigger understatement!

They were such troopers though. They came into the day rolling with the punches and did not let the snow change how happy they were to be getting married. It doesn’t hurt that the venue and chapel were breathtaking.

This sweet couple, their vendors and their friends and family braved the snowy roads and made Jillian and John’s wedding day everything they dreamed of.

Labor of Love

We cannot talk about this day without talking about the amazing community that made it happen! Our incredible owner, Mr. Steve, was up at 7 a.m. plowing the driveway and the concrete paths. Some of the venue’s neighbors trudged over and joined in to help bring Jillian and John’s day to life. They even plowed the road into the venue for guests to have easier access!

It was he most amazing sight to see, and we are so grateful that we have such an amazing community that helps bring our couple’s day to life!

Sweet as Can Be | Bailey and Chance

Happy 2025! We are so thrilled that we got to kick off 2025 with such a sweet couple! Everyone meet the new Mr. and Mrs. Reneau! Bailey and Chance had such a beautiful wedding right at the beginning of the month, and we gotta say- what a way to start the new year!

The Sweetest Girls

Bailey and Chance are such a sweet couple! From the second we met them, we couldn’t wait for their wedding day. Bailey and her two bridesmaids rolled in early in the day to get glammed (by the incredible Krista Ann) and were just as nice as they come!

Once the setup started and the details started rolling out, we really could not get enough. The linens, the candles and the dance floor! We haven’t seen many dance floors that are woodgrain and white checkerboard, and it looks incredible in the venue.

A touch that we *loved* was staging Bailey’s dress on a mannequin for photos! It was such a fun twist on the classic dress-hanging photos. Plus- her dress!! So unbelievable!

A Moment for the Florals

Now, to state the obvious… The florals for this wedding were out of this world! When we saw the Chapel all set up, our jaws hit the floor. The arrangements lining the aisle are so incredible. After their ceremony had wrapped up and they were named the new Mr. and Mrs. Reneau, all of the ceremony florals got repurposed for the reception.

This is such a great life hack and a great way to make sure you are getting all the use you can your of your florals.

Congratulations Bailey and Chance! We are thrilled for you, and so happy you are a French Farmhouse Couple!

Whimsical Florals | Madison and Brandon

Everyone, say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Creekpaum! Woohoo! Madison and Brandon are our couple for this blog, and you’re going to be OBSESSED with their florals and so many more aspects of their wedding. The details are unmatched!

Make it Your Own

Listen, we know how often brides are told that they should put their personalities into their wedding day decor. We also know that can be so much harder to do than it seems! We love that Madison and Brandon added fun and quirky touches that represent their relationship.

First, we need to take a moment for the film reel groom’s cake. WOW. *Almost* too pretty to eat… but too delicious not to. Another gorgeous, and yummy, touch is their seating chart. Brandon and Madison love boba tea, so this was a super fun way to incorporate their favorite treat that doubled as a favor for guests!

One of the most beautiful, and sentimental, things Madison did was sneak upstairs mid-reception Madison and change into her mom’s wedding dress! Her mom’s face when she came down said it all. What a special moment

A Moment for the Florals

We just cannot dive into this wedding without talking about the incredible florals. Madison and Brandon wanted a very whimsical and bright floral scheme and boy- they got it! Everywhere they could, they added florals. Starting with their ceremony arch, which was repurposed in the reception space. They did florals around their cake, on the DJ table (which was actually our second bar!!) and as an added show-stopper- they did an upside-down arrangement over the coffee bar. Can you believe how cool they look!?

The Sacco Club | Jenna and Tommy

Everyone, meet the new Mr. and Mrs. Sacco! Jenna and Tommy are such a cute and fun couple. It was so fun to watch their day come to life and to celebrate alongside them and their loved ones. You are all going to LOVE their wedding.

First Look and Private Vows

We want to start out by saying- we love the Saccos! They are such a sweet couple, and their wedding day was just as sweet as they are. Jenna and her girls rolled in early to do a little pampering and get ready together. As they were getting glammed, the vendor team was setting up.

It was so fun to see their day come together and watch all the special moments unfold. One moment we are still dying over is Tommy and Jenna’s first look! It was so beautiful and fun to watch Tommy see his bride. They were also SO intentional about how they would use the time together before their ceremony. They decided to take a few minutes, sit in front of The Chapel, and read their private vows. It could not have been a more special moment for them, and the photos will be an incredible reminder of their big day for many years to come.

Home Run

Baseball is a huge part of Jenna and Tommy’s lives since Tommy is a baseball player. It is only right that they had a few elements of their day that nodded at baseball! First, their seating chart. Every guest looking for their seat had a baseball with their name on it and the table number on the back.

We loved this because it is a little double-dipper. A beautiful custom seating chart, and a favor for guests! So cute and fun! The other custom element was the hats for the party. Jenna and Tommy had custom baseball hats made that they passed out to guests during the party. Not only were they so cute, but hats are tried and true. Guests of all ages love them and get excited about having them to take home.

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Sacco! We are so happy for you!

Florals and Florals | Paola and Carlos

We cannot get over this wedding! Paola and Carlos had some of the most stunning florals and details. We could not be more thrilled to share their day with you.

Cascading Florals

It is no big secret that we see a lot of weddings. And, we can confirm- they are never the same! Every wedding has its unique touches and things that make it special. One piece of Paola and Carlos’ day we cannot get over is the insane cascading florals on their tables. When their florist started creating the pieces on the end of the Farmhouse tables- we could not believe it. Such a stunning idea, especially paired with the candles. The combo of the two was the most cozy, elegant and romantic ambiance. Unbelievable!

Just a little Twist

Paola and Carlos had some stunning and classic elements that they put a little twist on. Instead of a first look or first touch, they kind of combined their private vow reading with a first touch. They wanted to save the “first look” for when she walked down the aisle but wanted to take the time to share vows privately!

After ceremony, the happy couple decided to join cocktail hour after they wrapped up with photos. Weirdly, this isn’t something a lot of people do, and it is such a fun change of pace. It gives the couple time to say hello to everyone, snack on some hors’ d’oeuvres and enjoy a little time outside before the party begins!

The last thing we are excited to point out is their amazing dessert options! They did have the traditional, beautiful cake which was an absolute hit. Beside it they did a champagne tower, but once they got the waterfall of champagne started they topped it with a red wine. It ended up being beautiful! For an extra dessert option, they had a churro station and a little hot chocolate bar. Basically, there was something for everyone!

Congratulations Paoloa and Carlos! We are so happy for you and thankful you are a French Farmhouse Couple!

The Finishing Touches | Victoria and Grant

Happy, happy, happy is the best way to describe Victoria and Grant’s big day! Not only were they smiling from ear to ear all day long, but so was everyone who came through our doors. It was truly a beautiful day with some of the most unique and thoughtful finishing touches- you will LOVE it.

The Finishing Touches

Victoria and Grant had some of the most beautiful details throughout their wedding. It was really all of their “finishing touches” that brought their ceremony and reception to life. Starting with Victoria’s dress! Have you ever seen a dress like hers?! So stunning and unique, and really ended up being a part of their decor and tying everything together.

At reception there were some stunning details we want to point out! Firstly, the glassware for dinner. The plates are INCREDIBLE. So fun and whimsical! Especially paired with the butterfly place cards and unique centerpieces. Several of the centerpieces were stacks of books with florals on top.

We also were loving their seating chart! Not only was it so thoughtful to have handwritten notes for each guest, but we loved the romcom nod of, “you’ve got mail!”

Lastly, Victoria wanted to set up a table of “punch, mints and nuts” as a nod to her Dad. She wrote a little story about how growing up her Dad would always say to her that when she got married all she would need is “punch, mints and nuts.” Slowly, over time she would barter and he would add things to her hypothetical wedding. Once her actual wedding day came around she wanted to have a little nod to their hypothetical wedding planning they did growing up. So sweet!

Coffee, Coffee, Coffee!

We have never had a coffee cart here that didn’t have a line! There really are very few things more popular at a wedding than coffee. Even if you want a coffee bar in addition to a regular bar, your guests will LOVE it. However, lately we have been having quite a few weddings with no alcohol. A really common question we get is, “What do we do instead?” Coffee cart is always a good option! You can still do signature drinks to personalize the experience, and you (and your guests) will be thankful for the boost after a full day!

Beauty in the Details | Lauren and Bradley

Well, Happy Fall everyone! Today we have such a sweet and dreamy couple’s wedding day to share with you all. Lauren and Bradley, Mr. and Mrs. Snyder, if you will… had a day full of beauty! They were so present and really took the time to soak in every second of the day.

Beauty in the Details

We have to talk about the details of this amazing day! This wedding was FULL of jaw-dropping details—first, the bridesmaids and the flower girl’s dresses. Come on. They were such a beautiful mix of matching and mixed-matched. They had a million beautiful details throughout the reception space, but some really stood out to us. First off, the custom dance floor!! SO good!! Their bar menu was a fun spin on the traditional framed signs that usually sit on top of the bar. The last thing we want to point out is their head table! WOW.

The candle tablescape added such a beautiful ambiance and was simple, classic and warm. Especially, when the lights dimmed for the party!

The Party

After Lauren and Bradley were officially pronounced Mr. and Mrs. you could feel the party brewing. Everyone was itching to tear up the dance floor, and boy… they did not disappoint. There were ties everywhere, people lifted and even some ripped pants. And, we gotta say… now that we are 4 years into weddings… we really wish we had been keeping a tally of all the pants ripped at a French Farmhouse Wedding. We are pretty sure the number would be impressive, and hilarious.

Congratulations Lauren and Bradley! We are so happy for you, and thrilled that you are a French Farmhouse Couple!

Love and Laughter | Aubrey and Pryor

Say hello to the new Mr. and Mrs. Thomas! This blog will be all about Aubrey and Pryor’s big day, and let us tell you- this one will be FUN. You will not be disappointed by the details and will surely be smiling seeing pics of these two laughing together.

The Wedding Party Arrives

Aubrey and Pryor are nothing but an absolute joy to have around. Spending the day with them and having their energy running through the venue could not have been more fun. Aubrey and her girls came in and were ready to have a girl’s day for as long as possible! Once Pryor and his guys arrived, we knew we were in for some high-energy groomsmen, in the best way! He was a college baseball player, so his groomsmen were a mix of his teammates and friends. They were a blast, and even their formal photos turned into them playing football on the turf in their suits! While we are always nervous that someone will rip their dress pants (it has absolutely happened before), these guys made it out unscathed.

A Life Filled with Laughter

The details of this day were *incredible*. Florals were the perfect blend of polished and that natural wildflower vibe. The china was a stunning vintage touch, the live strings in the chapel welcomed everyone in and the party was unreal. Everyone was on the dance floor, even a catering staff member got snagged by the bride and pulled onto the dance floor! After 4 years of weddings, one thing we have learned is that one universal sign of a good party is when the groom’s tie becomes a headband.. the proof is in the pudding on that one.

All of these details were stunning, but the absolute best part of Aubrey and Pryor’s wedding was seeing just how much fun these two had together. They are so playful and when they are together, odds are they are laughing.

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Thomas! We could not be happier for you, and are so grateful you’re a French Farmhouse Couple!

Personal Touches | Alexa and Blake Williams

We have a mini throwback for you all today! This beautiful wedding was back in March. Everyone meet Alexa and Blake, the new Mr. and Mrs. Williams! We loved their big day, and loved seeing where they chose to add their personal details.

First Look x2

Wedding days are full of magical moments! We know that everyone wants their wedding day to be unique, and to have moments that nobody else has had. However, there are a few that everyone does, because they are just too darn magical. One of them is the First Look! It is the sweetest to see the groom’s reaction when he sees his bride for the first time. That moment never disappoints, and everyone loves looking back on the photos. Alexa did a little spin on the first look, and had one with her groom, but also her brother!

It was such a sweet moment between these two siblings, and lifelong friends. Plus, what a fun way to get siblings involved.

Personal Touches

There are a million ways to make your wedding day unique, and to add touches that reflect your personalities and your life as a couple. One thing you can do is have food that you LOVE. We have seen a lot of different catering options, and the best ones are the ones that are just downright delicious. Cocktail hour started with the prettiest “Williams” charcuterie board, which is always a win. For dinner Alexa and Blake had pizza for their guests, and on their buffet tables they had custom signage for each pizza. SO cute, and who doesn’t love pizza?

Congratulations Alexa and Blake! We are so happy for you, and grateful you are a Farmhouse Couple!

A Summer Soiree | Leia and Trey

How many times can we say that we are LOVING our summer weddings?! Every time we get an album back, we just can’t wait to share it!! Today our couple is Leia and Trey, the new Mr. and Mrs. Clapp. We could not be more exited to share their big day with you.

Summer Brides

We all know that getting ready photos are a moment for the gals! Our bride, typically, has her best girls in matching/ coordinating pajamas for photos (and comfort). Then, the bride is in a white version of the same pjs or just a white outfit. Something comfortable to get dressed in and hang out wearing all day, but also something cute for photos! We are obsessed with Leia’s getting ready fit, and how her *stunning* robe matches her veil. What a beautiful and fun touch to add!

A Moment for the Florals

It would be horrible to not take a moment for the florals at Leia and Trey’s wedding. Everywhere you looked there was an incredible floral arrangement. The arches at ceremony are SO amazing, and were repurposed to the greenery wall on the porch for photos. Then, there is the sweetheart table. WOW. What a moment for the bride and groom. Followed by the cake table… come on. We are also loving the florals hung over the guests tables. Such a fun and unique way to have a stunning floral centerpiece, while still keeping the tabletop open for guests to be able to see each other.
