There’s something just so cool about getting all glammed up and heading into the woods for a classy-as-heck dinner with your best friends. (Do you need an occasion to plan such a soiree, by the way? Just asking…). Paige of Awake Photography + her talented crew of Texas vendors were inspired by the closeness that a wedding brings between a bride and her bridesmaids. With that in mind, there’s no reason not to celebrate like the gals in this story.
Paige says, We wanted to showcase the special relationship between a bride and her maids surrounding all of the wedding celebrations. The wedding experience really brings best friends together as they prepare to send one of their own off into the land of marriage.
A DIY dreamcatcher ceremony backdrop turned perfect portrait spot. Paige tells it, Anchored by a cowhide rug, the dreamcatchers filtered the light perfectly, and added a bit of interest behind the girls.
Jennifer Laura Design mixed blooms and weeds, all tied together with old belts and thrifted jars. Remember Jennifer’s impressive spring bouquets we swooned over in this vow renewal?
Love a sun-drenched scenario like the above. Fabulous work.
