A Big Texas Thank You To…

Fun fact! This year’s bridal fashion photoshoot was executed before, during and after a major thunderstorm. We owe a special thanks to our vendor team, which handled the day with remarkable optimism, professionalism and talent. The Fort Worth Botanic Garden team and Dena Lewis set the golden standard for exceptional hosts. Dixie Dixon and her team worked magic on the photography front. Ashley McNabb, our hair and makeup virtuoso, transformed not one but three models. Exquisite fine jewelry complementing each look was graciously provided by Bachendorf’s and styled by Jacqueline Pritchard. A special thanks to our own Gloria Fletcher and Jaidyn Hays for their seamless coordination and support. Our models, Kaylee, Ella and Ceely, were true professionals. And, finally, we are immensely grateful to our bridal boutique partners for providing the stunning gowns that brought our vision to life. We deeply appreciate their collaboration and invite you to look to these wonderful businesses as you begin your own search for the perfect dress: Bliss Bridal Salon, Blush Love Bride, Elizabeth Scott Bridal, Emerald Bridal Lounge, and Nora Spencer Bridal and Formal.
