A Modern Flare | Savanna and Matt

We can finally share the Keppel wedding!! Savanna and Matt are some of the nicest people around, and their day was so so special and stunning. So classic, with a modern flare. Stunning. We could not be more thankful they are a Farmhouse couple, and we are so excited to share their day with you guys!

A Modern Flare

The Kepple’s had a beautiful and timeless day, each detail was so so gorgeous. It was so fun to see it all come together throughout setup. We really loved that they had a subtle modern flare on top of their classic scheme. Plus, they added some FUN details to their reception. Not only did they give out custom drink koozies to everyone, but they had a full-blown cookie table! A crowd-pleasing touch, I gotta say!

The Ceremony

Matt and Savanna’s ceremony was GORGEOUS. Every moment was so full of love and simple touches that put their day over the top. One of my favorite things is to see how brides and grooms decorate the two-becoming-one tree. There is so much you can do with it, or just leave it as is. The way the Kepple’s added a chandelier and the columns… *stunning*

Congratulations Matt and Savanna!

A Touch of Home | Amanda and Chris

The Kauffman’s came ready to roll with pieces from home! Amanda and Chris were such a treat, and really did the most. Their day was stunning, and full of little pieces from home. We love seeing how our incredible couples bring their day to life, and what special touches are important to them.

 

All the Way From…

Every single couple that walks through our doors has a great story, and we love to hear them. Amanda and Chris really threw a curveball at us when they said they came all the way from Wisonsin to get married at the Farmhouse. I mean… come on. That is pure dedication. They definitely were not letting your Wedding Day Dreams, be dreams. There are things from home they really wanted for their wedding, and one of those things was some Wisconsin Beer. How cool is that? Not only is it personal to them, but a really fun way to spice up their bar with some “comfort food” on the menu.

 

All Out

The past few weeks we have shared blogs about couples that went all out on their florals, and the Kauffman’s are no different. Just take a look at their ceremony decorations! WOW. The pampas… enough said. Plus, that floral wall in the reception area. *Chef’s kiss* In addition to the florals, they had a gorgeous dessert table. Look at that spread. Looks like a good wedding to be at, if you ask me. Another fun touch Amanda threw in for her and her girls, was putting them all in fun boots. Just a small comfort touch, that no one will see, but you will know is there.

Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Kauffman! We are so grateful to have you guys as a Farmhouse Couple, and are so happy you came all the way to Texas to have your wedding here.

 

Working for the Shot | Kylie and Clay

We never get tired of sharing incredible weddings with you guys, and this one definitely doesn’t disappoint. Kylie and Clay are the best, and their day was so fun, and stunning, their guests will look back and have some amazing memories from their day. You’re going to love it!

 

The Porch

One of the coolest parts of a wedding venue is seeing how each couple transforms the space. We get to be a part of their first steps in planning, we get to hear about what they see their wedding looking like in the venue. Then, we get to see that come to life months later. It is so special. Kyle and Clay decided on a porch wedding, and WOW. Ceremonies on the porch are so unique, and cozy. Since the porch can only hold 150 guests, it automatically feels like a really intimate event. They decked out the mantel with incredible florals and had a stunning ceremony.

 

Get the Shot

Kylie is a girl after our own hearts. The girl will do anything to get the shot. Even if that means hopping a fence in her wedding dress to get a picture in front of Steve’s longhorns. Kylie and her crew really did the most and made use of every angle of the Farmhouse and every inch of the grounds. Not only did she get some beautiful shots, but she got some shots from spots and angles we hadn’t seen before. Amazing!!

Florals and a Full House | Maddy and Braden

The new Mr. and Mrs. Hague know how to plan a celebration. This whole wedding, start to finish, was so stunning. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any more beautiful during the set-up, another special touch would show up. We are SO excited to be able to show you guys Maddy and Braden’s big day.

 

The Florals

From the moment we met Maddy and Braden, we know their day would be special. They put so much thought and love into choosing every piece of their day, and it shows. It is so cool to see how each couple transforms the venue, and the Hague’s didn’t disappoint. They chose stunning and bright colors, that lit up the entire venue and the ceremony site- we are obsessed. Their florals were so incredible and added so much to their decor. I mean, look at how they had their aisle lined for their outdoor ceremony. So so spectacular. (shout out to Platinum Petals in Dallas! Incredible team, and incredible work.) Seeing everyone walk down the aisle through the flowers, while the Dallas String Quartet played, was beautiful. Live music at the ceremony is a special touch.

Brought out the Works

Maddy and Braden created such a fun experience for their guests! From moving the greenery wall into the foyer for the photo booth to a bar outside and Bubbles and Brews on site- they really thought of it all, and brought out the works. Seeing their vision come to life was such a treat, and we couldn’t be more thankful they chose the French Farmhouse for their big day. Congratulations to the Hagues!

Aggie Party | Paige and Cade

It is always a great day at the Farmhouse when we have an Aggie couple in the building. Paige and Cade were a blast in a glass. They really know how to throw a great party, and their friends and family know how to enjoy a great party. Every minute of this day was amazing.

 

It’s All About You

Paige and Cade did an amazing job of making sure each part of their day, was exactly what they wanted. They really put their personalities into everything, which is the best. Some couple’s really want to make sure everyone is happy, and end up compromising some things that they really wanted. It truly is all about you two, so if your man and his boys want to wear boots and jeans- go for it. Just make sure that it is you! Plus, look at the tiny men of the ceremony in their boots and jeans. TOO CUTE.

 

Party Hard

This group knew how to throw down. It really is a rarity to find a group where everyone will jump onto the dance floor, and go as hard as this group did. Every. Single.Person. Was hyped, and ready to celebrate the new Mr. and Mrs. Edland. It was so special to see, and a blast. Not to mention, there are a whole bunch of photos of their favorite people getting down on the dance floor, that will surely make them laugh and smile every time they look back on them.

Unplugged Porch Wedding | Kevin and Allison

Mr. and Mrs. Mendez! What a special day at the Farmhouse. Kevin and Allison had a beautiful, and unplugged, wedding full of love, laughter and so much warmth. You will love every part of their day, just as much as we do.

 

Details, People!

I am sure everyone is tired of hearing about how special the details of our couple’s weddings are. But, we just can’t stop talking about them. It is the best to see what each couple’s “special touches” are, and what they are excited about. Allison is a really really fun person, and it totally shows in the hidden gems she added to her wedding day. For starters, she wore socks with her pup’s face on them… does it get any more fun than that? She also paired them with her All-Star’s. We love that she rocked some comfortable sneakers with her dress. Made it that much easier for her to dance all night long. She also had an amazing “guest book.” Guests got to sign hearts and drop them in so that they can display it and see everyone that was at their wedding.

 

Unplugged on the Porch

Kevin and Allison’s ceremony was beautiful. They decided on a porch wedding, which is such a great option. We may be biased, but the porch is just so stunning, cozy and intimate. If you have less than 150 guests, we definitely recommend considering a porch wedding. Another amazing thing the Mendez’s decided on was an “unplugged ceremony.” Basically, they asked their guests to not use their phones to take pictures or videos during the ceremony. Not only does it force everyone to be present and actually listen to the ceremony, but it makes your professional pictures clean. There won’t be any rogue iPhones being held up, blocking any amazing shots. It is such a simple request, that changes so much!

 

 

Magical Day with the Swanson’s | Rheagan & James

The new Mr. and Mrs. Swanson had a MAGICAL day. Rheagan and James created such a stunning day and really had a blast here at the Farmhouse. They sprinkled in some really fun and stunning moments in their day, that added so much.

 

Magical Morning with the Girls

We love when the girls get here in the morning. They are always so so excited to be here and spend the day relaxing and glamming with each other. Everyone always looks so gorgeous, and really makes the most of the day. On this particular day, there might have been one tiny girl that was AMPED about being “one of the girls.” You will see just how excited this flower girl was. She could not contain herself. She brought the energy we want everyone to have on a wedding day. Straight-up hyped.

 

The First Touch

Rheagan and James had one of the most special moments we have seen in a while. In place of a “first look”, the two of them decided they wanted to do a “first touch.” If not seeing each other is really important, then this was a beautiful option. They had a quiet moment to themselves, where they read each other letters that they had written to each other. Such a special moment to have with each other, and to be able to look back on for all the years to come.

Chic and Sentimental | Erica and Juan

The amazing weddings just keep on coming! Erica and Juan had a gorgeous day at the Farmhouse. We are in love with how beautiful and chic their wedding was. They had such a special day, and we are so happy to share it with you guys.

 

Sentimental Moments

One thing we never ever get tired of seeing is all of the emotional and sentimental moments that happen on wedding days. One of the top moments, that left no dry-eyes in the room, was when Erica had her first look with her Dad. As if that wasn’t enough quickly after she did the same with her soon-to-be hubby. Erica’s dad was SO sweet, and his reaction is everything a girl could have wanted. Our brides and their girls get here so early to get ready, and once they let their guys see them, they hope for a sweet reaction. Truly, they never disappoint, and end up being some of everyone’s favorite photos. Bonus: The first look with your bridesmaids! The cutest!

 

Party Time

Once these two were hitched, they brought the party. Them, their friends and family really know how to get down. There were cutouts of people’s heads, amazing music and lots and lots of dancing. They were all having an absolute ball. Erica and Juan both even had party outfits to change into. Genius idea and they both looked incredible! Erica and Juan nailed it.

It’s all Smiles | Audrey and Colton

The new Mr. and Mrs. Albracht had an INCREDIBLE wedding. The Farmhouse was alive with them, their bridal party and loved ones. Truly such a special day for some really special people. It was smiles all around. We are so thrilled to be able to call them a Farmhouse Couple.

 

Get Ready in Style

Audrey and Colton did everything in style. Right down to every detail. We could not have been more impressed with how thoughtful their day was. From the get-go, it was clear it was going to be a stunning day. When Audrey and her girls filed in, we were in love with their cute matching PJ sets. However, what really threw it over-the-top, was how the drinks they were toasting with, matched their jammies. I mean.. c’mon. How cute! We really love seeing the girls come in and be so comfortable in the bridal suite, and there supporting their girls. It is pretty magical.

What we don’t get to see photo-proof of very often, is the groom and his guys relaxing and hanging out in the groom’s room! These guys were LOVING it. Playing video games, and just hanging out together. We love to see it!

 

It’s All Smiles

Audrey might have been one of the happiest people of all time, her smile never left her face. She lit the whole venue right up. You can tell how intentional she was with her big day,  and what was important to her. One thing her and Colton did that was so special, was have framed photos on the porch mantle of their loved ones that could only be there in spirit.

They also had a beautiful indoor ceremony in front of the three-ring-door. Then, had a reception to remember. This group threw down on the dance floor. It is rare that every person is on the dance floor, but this group was darn close! Everyone was so hyped for the Albracht’s, and boy it showed just how loved they are.

Thankful For Our First Year!

Happy Birthday to the French Farmhouse! We are so thankful for the wonderful year we have had. So, we want to share some of the things we are thankful for.

1.Our amazing brides and grooms. You guys mean the world to us. We love watching you go from living the engaged life, planning and excited to start your life together, to married life. It is amazing. We even have our first Farmhouse baby coming soon!

2.The incredible friends and families we have met at the venue. There are a lot of people that come through the venue! We are blessed, and biased, but we truly have gotten to know some of the best families around.

3.Talented vendors and wedding pros! From hair and make-up, florists, photographers, videographers, caterers to other venue owners. We have been so grateful to meet some of the best wedding pros in the area, who also happen to be some of the best people in the area.

4.The stunning styled shoots we have had, and the amazing online and print publications that have taken the time to see our venue. It is surreal to see how each shoot transforms the Farmhouse. It is also pretty nuts to see the venue pop up in magazines and online publications.

5.We are SO thankful for the valuable lessons we have learned along the way. There is still so much to learn, and we are eager to keep growing. Thank you so much for following along on the journey. We wouldn’t be here without you.
