carolina + gus [tiny boxwood's wedding]
After an extremely long week gearing up for the last few weddings of the year, we are TIRED. Anyone in this industry (and really any industry) can probably understand. However, when we got to the office today our energy was fulfilled simply by checking our email! We got the best type of happy mail from David Williams Photography: an entire gallery of beautiful images from equally beautiful clients- Carolina and Gus!
Carolina and Gus got married in May at Tiny Boxwood's here in Houston. Tiny's actually happens to be one of our favorite venues to work with and this wedding certainly didn't disappoint. If you haven't been there to brunch, walk around the garden or try the cookies - you absolutely MUST. (It is a well known fact that the cookies are the best in Houston....possibly Texas.)
Carolina and Gus' wedding day was filled with love, family and tons of gorgeous flowers. They chose white, blush, shades of pink and tons of greenery to pull their dream wedding together. Their ceremony was under a cozy tent on the main lawn. They wanted to keep the decor understated to really focus on the marriage. We love that!

Silver lanterns lined the aisle at C+G's ceremony. Small arrangements hung from the chairs.
With the layout of the venue, we really got the opportunity to create a few different looks for an overall cohesive event. We created some compote arrangements, garlands and bud vases for the reception space. Some of the flowers/greenery we used were:
- Garden Roses
- Spray Roses
- Eucalyptus
- Ranunculus

Gus wore a simple grey suit with a dashing striped tie. His boutonniere consisted of white spray roses. Very understated and stylish.
Groom before the wedding.
While they didn't have a traditional bridal party, they did have a bunch of cute kiddos in some seriously cute threads. The simple boutonnieres were made from eucalyptus and a spray rose. The flower girl bouquets were based off of the head table garland mixed with Carolina's bouquet.

Every little detail of this wedding was just spot on. We loved getting the chance to work with such an amazing couple. Heres to a lifetime of wedded bliss! Cheers, Carolina & Gus!!
