Gabrielle Gray

April 23, 2022 / Private Residence in Lake Ridge
Gabrielle and Nicholas were married on April 23, 2021 at the downtown Fort Worth Courthouse with just their parents to witness. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, they decided to wait and throw a wedding celebration on their one-year anniversary surrounded by all of their loved ones.
Gabrielle always knew she wanted to go all out with florals at their wedding. Inspired by Roc Nation Brunch and Polo Classic, they incorporated ranunculus and baby’s breath throughout the reception. From a beautiful hanging floral centerpiece over the dance floor to a show-stopping floral backdrop, Pink Sugar Soirees took their breath away. Her favorite thing about planning was doing it with Nicholas. She loved hearing his ideas and learning the details he wanted to incorporate into their day. It took a lot of pressure off of her.
Their first dance was to “The Line” by Dvsn. “It was a moment we spoke to each other through our eyes and smiles,” Gabrielle said. “We didn’t even notice everyone watching. It was so special.”
