Bryan Museum Wedding of L + L Part 1

L would say that L had a serious face, a genuine smile, and the ability to make her laugh.  AND that's all you need to start a good love story. The vision for their moment would combine Texas and Lebanese culture into one festive evening. The couple chose two of the islands venues to celebrate, they would exchange vows and enjoy cocktail hour at The Bryan Museum. Then dance the night away under lights in the 1880 Garten Verein. I have to tell you that our vendor team was AMAZING!   AND we have so many great images to share that we needed to have a part 1 blog post.

Now, let's get the party started , part one gives you a little glimpse into the day right up until the point the newlyweds exchange vows.  That portion of the day would include the ladies getting dolled up in the bridal suite at the Bryan, and the fellas kicking back a few cold ones until first looks. L + L opted for a private first look, literally them, and the photographer.....it will go down as one of my favorite memories. ( AND the photo's will tell it all )  The guest were invited inside the conservatory to the sounds of a string quartet, where the brides uncle would perform the ceremony. On lookers would hear poems from the brides mom and the grooms cousin.....perfection. 

Galveston wedding planner highlights The Trolley Station Wedding venue

It's wedding Wednesday and today we are highlighting the Trolley Station, it's the newest venue located in the historic strand district of Galveston island. I would describe the space as industrial, open, airy, and just super cool. Upon arrival guest are immediately intrigued by the festive sights and sounds of the islands strand. On the weekends you can find performers, movies, horse drawn carriages, combined with the variety of unique boutiques. Once inside your guest are greeted by a grand stair case that leads to the ball room. The details include seating for up to 300, two beautiful bars,  an intimate seating area for those who had enough fun dancing, a raised stage that is the perfect location for a band to rock out the party, and my favorite detail....the wrap around balcony. It's a stunning view of the sun set. WOW ! JUST WOW ! If you have not selected a space to celebrate
your moment you definitely need to give them a ring to schedule your site tour. Then give us a ring to chat it up over champagne and cupcakes. We can't wait to hear from you ! Now you guys and girls know that we can't end this post without sharing a few of our favorite weddings in the space. Enjoy !

Trolley Station wedding sneak peek

We have waited weeks to share a few of our favorite images from M + J's Trolley Station wedding.

I will tell you that M, her mom and I spent hours creating the look of their moment. Originally 

the wedding was to be held out side under a tent with a stunning water front view, but April's in Texas can create a bit of a challenge. After a bit of research the bride fell in love with the trolley station located in the historical strand district, then the challenge became creating " A Starry Night " indoors .Well I would say that Heaven's Rain took our vision and nailed it !!!! I would love to share more of this celebration but we are hoping to share globally via blogs ....so we have to keep a little mystery. Until then enjoy this stunner from  Nate Messara Photography ........
