An Indian Wedding at Mercury Hall

The amazing colors and patterns incorporated into Aditi + Field's wedding have us drooling! Field rode in on a horse, they had a floral decorated stage for their nuptials, and all their guests were dressed to the nines. There is nothing to dislike! We chatted with Aditi briefly to hear about her big day. Enjoy the pictures and her sweet answers!

Spring Backyard BBQ Wedding

I’ve always had lofty ideas of inviting over my closest family and friends for a spring backyard BBQ. The adults would chat and sip on their drinks while the kids ran around and played with hula-hoops and bubbles in the grass. The spring flowers would be brightly bloomed and the string lights overhead would make everything glisten. We would all share some BBQ, as the band gets ready to play country music (our friends just so happen to be in a country band) so that we can two-step the night away.

Spring Weddings

It feels like spring has sprung here in Austin, all these 75 degree days are just too beautiful to handle.

I’m ready for sunny skies every day, the smell of freshly blooming flowers when I walk outside, and the warm (but not too warm!) weather.  Not to mention, I’m ready for all the fun weddings!

Spring is one of my favorite seasons for weddings.  You don’t have to search for inspiration -- the fresh flowers are springing up all over the place and I love it when brides take advantage of that!  Bright pinks and salmons and yellows flood the wedding scene in spring, making for statement weddings that you can’t get out of your mind.
