Katie & Andy

Katie & Andy met while studying at Purdue University - the way every good love story starts … in a bar.

After graduation, they picked up their things and moved to Texas.

They fell in love with the city of Dallas where Andy proposed at Marie Gabriel Gardens..

He had both of our families and two of my best friends fly in for the weekend to surprise me. They hid on a small bridge during the proposal. When I turned around and saw them I literally couldn’t contain my excitement. It was the happiest, most perfect day.

Both Katie and Andy are laid back, fun, and loving - which was the theme for their wedding. Katie spent a lot of time working on the small details - the vendors, florist, DJ, and coordinator knocked it out of the park!

Their favorite activity was searching for the best Tex Mex in Dallas, specifically a place with an amazing spicy margarita.

The entire night was filled with people they love - most of whom flew into Dallas from all over the country to be with us. Her grandfather even officiated the ceremony, which meant the world to Katie.

In her own words…

“There was so much love and laughter and I truly couldn’t stop smiling once the day finally started. I can’t even explain how many emotions I experienced. It was perfectly romantic and way too much fun all at the same time. I felt so incredibly lucky.”

Katie was looking for a classic, timeless gown with girly, romantic flair. She said “yes” to our ZINNIA GOWN | “I loved the floral appliqué all over my gown and the way it hugged my curves in all the right ways. It just felt so ‘me.’ I loved my dress and wish I could wear it over and over again.”
