Wedding Vendor Series: His + Her Outfits + Cottonwood Road Photography



March 5, 2016

Have you enjoyed this wedding vendor series half as much as I have? I mean, I have absolutely loved featuring girl bosses who are so good at what they do. This styled shoot was two months in the making, and every ounce of work to get it done was worth it.

 

Today, to finish it off, I am talking about Hannah Hagaman of Cottonwood Road Photography. You have seen her name all over my blog, because she takes all my photos. She makes me feel so confident with every single shoot. In addition to my blog, what Hannah excels at is weddings, engagements, and couple’s shoots. Paul and I have had the pleasure of working with her a couple of times as a couple now, and we just know we are always going to be blown away by her work. Nobody gets more genuine laughs or shots out of you like Hannah. She is incredible at staging and directing, which -let’s face it- unless you’re a pro, you need someone who knows what’s going to make you look best. Simply put, Hannah is the bomb at what she does. If you need photos, I cannot suggest her enough. Her work is crisp, clean, bright and airy. She will deliver you the most dreamy photos that you get to keep for the rest of your life. These are the photos you will hang on your walls, and refer to for forever to remember you and your boo’s big day or engagement photos by. If you are on a budget, I cannot say enough times- do not budge on your photographer. It is the ONLY THING that carries on after your wedding day. Don’t cut costs there. Email Hannah!

I really wish I could post EVERY PHOTO Hannah took… but I will spare you. Bottom line, she is amaze. She will make you and your boo feel so good (and she makes you look dang good, too.)

His Suit

I got so many questions about Paul’s suit, so I won’t leave that out! This suit is a heather navy suit from Jos. A Bank. (The 1905 line.) I have it linked below. This is such a nice suit, and it made Paul look dang good, if I do say so myself. His boots are from Aldo, but they’re no longer available. I linked a few similar ones.

SALE ALERT: Literally, this suit JUST went on sale from $695 to $278 (!?!?!) This suit is seriously incredible. It looks so good on. It’s trim and tailored fitting, the perfect slim fit.

Exit Outfit

Last, but not least!, is my exit outfit for the shoot. I paired my blush tulle skirt from Space 46 Boutique with my sash and bolero I wore for my real wedding. This made for such a sweet, nostalgic outfit and I loved getting to repurpose these items. I wore an Aerie bralette underneath. The key to a great leaving outfit is to simply keep true to the feel of your wedding. This one goes perfectly with the blush pink chic wedding we styled. For my real wedding, I left in a sweet white dress with my blush pink flats I wore throughout the night. The call is yours, but I gotta say that this outfit is one of my favorites I have ever styled!

The bolero- IHeartBride; The Skirt- Space 46 Boutique; Sash- Abigail Grace Bridal.

I absolutely LOVED doing this series for y’all, sharing the tidbits of information I know from planning my own wedding while introducing you to local vendors. If you have anything else you want to know, email me! Let me help you. Recently someone emailed me asking to help with their wedding playlist, and I loved giving suggestions! Whatever it might be- holler at me.

Love y’all! Have a happy Saturday.

xoxo- Han

Wedding Vendor Series: The Venue, Cake, and Furniture Rentals



March 2, 2016

Okay, okay… so I may have a slight obsession with weddings… but I just love love! Today’s feature will highlight the venue, the cake, and furniture rentals. Next to your gown choice, these are major decisions that set the entire tone of your wedding- but don’t fret! I have you covered on who to hire.

White Sparrow Barn

The venue is probably the biggest (and most expensive) decision you will have to make in the entire wedding planning process. What venue you choose also maps out what kind of wedding you will have, so you kind of have to nail it. (No pressure.) You just have to keep in the mind your end goal- if you are a glamorous bride, an outdoor wedding venue might not be the best way to go… you know what I mean? Everything is dependent upon this choice. Great news… White Sparrow Barn is the ultimate chameleon venue for ANY KIND OF WEDDING you are wanting to do. If its boho, go for it. Glam, yes. Shabby chic, they have that for you, too. This venue is a massive white blank canvas dawned with gorgeous chandeliers, white wash wood floors, and tall ceilings that literally will take your breath away.

I first went to White Sparrow Barn for a friend’s wedding back in the fall, and I couldn’t stop gawking at it. It was so beautiful. The sun sets through the massive windows above you as you recite your vows… omg. Literally, I cannot get enough of this place. In addition to the main space, they have back and side lawns perfect for cocktail hour (or, should you get so lucky on weather, the perfect outdoor dining space.) The staircase shown in the photo below is also quite a statement, it’s truly just gorgeous- all of it.

They have respective dressing rooms for the bridal party and groom’s men- each with their own touches of masculinity and femininity to set the mood in the separate rooms.

Moral of the story- get married here.

The Cake

No no, I don’t mean my blog… I mean the CAKE. The one you get to eat, take pictures of and with, and then stuff in your new hubby’s mouth. 😉 Like the venue, what cake you pick reflects your personality. Are you simple, glam, over the top, classic… the options are endless.

My big sister, Emily, is a professional pastry chef, so I lucked out on the whole cake thing for my own wedding. My sister made it, and it was perfect for me- sort of looked like if a ballerina was a cake.

But, since she is in North Carolina and not everyone is so fortunate to get that sort of hook up, allow me to introduce you to an incredible cake baker here in the DFW area. This gorgeous naked cake (perfect for the boho bride) was made by Chelsea Flaming, and (in addition to how it smelled) we couldn’t stop admiring how it looked. The flowers on top of it are added by Andi of Pollen Events who did the floral arrangements and flower crown for the shoot! You can contact Chelsea via Instagram right now (@chelseamakescakes), but she is about to have her official website up and running! We are so excited to feature her so early on in her baking career, and we can’t wait to see how she explodes from here!

Furniture Rentals

Again, just how the venue and cake say so much about you/ set the mood for your wedding, the furniture does, too! Unique Unique by Design is a McKinney based furniture rental business that is perfect for setting your space up exactly how you always dreamed. They have so much to pick from, whether you just simply are looking for a couple pieces to add character to your venue or need a whole space filled, these ladies are who you need.

I desperately wanted to take this blush pink chair home with me- I was obsessed. It meshed perfectly with our blush pink wedding shoot! That cake table shown below, too, has got me swooning.
