Here are a few of The Allan House’s favorites!

 

For Loran and Mike’s wedding, Loran chose to accent her luscious locks with a beautiful, white flower. Flowers are a great trend for spring and summer weddings! Photo courtesy of The Mill Photography Studio.

 

For Cortnee and Ricky’s wedding, Cortnee swept her hair into a chic side ponytail. Dressing up a ponytail with loose curls is a perfect look for your special day! Photo courtesy of Austin Imagery Photography.

 

 

For Katrina and Chris’ wedding, Katrina spiced up the flower trend with a divine addition of feathers and a subtle, yellow ribbon! Photo courtesy of Anthology Photography.

 

 

For Emily and Ryan’s wedding, Emily’s beautiful, messy updo exquisitely complemented the back detailing on her wedding dress. Messy updos are a hot trend taking over the wedding scene and are perfect for the upcoming spring season! Photo courtesy of Ben Godkin Photography.

All eyes were on Loran in a beautiful strapless dress with lace detailing, but her bridesmaids’ vibrant purple dresses didn’t go unnoticed. As mentioned in our last blog, mixing a bright color in with the traditional is a hot new trend! Photo courtesy of The Mill Photography Studio.

Our romantic courtyard is transformed into the perfect dance floor for not only partygoers but the bride and groom as well! Photo courtesy of The Mill Photography Studio.

Though recently, some are opting for a fresher, more modern look. Spicing up their wedding decor with bright colors that brings personality and uniqueness to the traditional wedding colors.

 

 

At Trice and Bret’s wedding, they mixed in lime green in a fun, new way! The little umbrellas were the perfect addition, especially when it came to the bride and groom photos!

At Alexia and Jeffrey’s wedding, the couple brightened the room with a chic tangerine and grey mix! The bright orange bridesmaids’ dresses accented Alexia’s beautiful gown, really allowing her to shine on her special day! Photo courtesy of Jessica Monnich Photography

 

 

At Jenny and Ross’ wedding, Jenny chose a vibrant indigo for her bridesmaids’ dresses accented with a bright purple and green bouquet! The color combination was as hot as the July summer heat! Photo courtesy of Jessica Monnich Photography

 

 

At Ashley and Marlin’s wedding, the couple didn’t hesitate to show their passion for the Texas Longhorns! The groom was all smiles in his Longhorn inspired tuxedo with his beautiful bride! And yes, even the groom’s cake was an incredible replica of the Texas football stadium. Hook ‘Em!
