Donnie Brown's ethereal tablescape in the Fall issue of Brides of North Texas took our breath away like a blast of cold wind. This editorial shoot took place in the French Room at The Adolpus - a venue unlike any other in Downtown Dallas with a rich history of tradition and royal customer care. Using a palette of whites, silvers, and greys, Donnie reflects a lush, textured winter landscape starting with a Silver Radiance Brushed Glass Chargers layered with a mix of metallic patterns and pops of white. Fit for any winter wonderland or fairy tale wedding, this heavenly tabletop (and gorgeous model bride) look ready to take breaths away themselves.

Tabletop Tuesday: Under the Big Top

If you're around Dallas from September 28th - October 21st, you can't help but notice the greatest state fair in the world. Whether your weakness is the ferris wheel or sugary, fried concoctions, there is something for everyone. So when Emily Clarke  of Emily Clarke and Company thought of Fall, she thought of someone near and dear to the heart of Texans -- Big Tex, the icon of the Texas state fair. For weddings and children's events, what's a more whimsical background than a magical fairground? Emily brought that same feeling of fun and enchantment to her shoot for the Brides of North Texas Fall 2012 issue. We love the mixture of deep reds juxtaposed with softer tones. It already has us dreaming of cotton candy!

Hickory Street Annex near the fairgrounds at Fair Park hosted Emily's carnival inspired bridal shoot. Hues of cotton candy pink, deep reds, grays, and white bring to life a whimsical party! We love the tented look Emily created with silk ribbons along with our Villa Ballroom Chairs. Photography throughout by Sarah Kate Photography.
