Real wedding | Bowties and boas and a canine ring bearer, by Cory Ryan Photography

How do you even introduce a wedding as out of the ordinary and fun like Brooke and Jeremy’s I don’t know! Let me just tell you that when I got this submission, my smile was huge! This wedding, is fun, modern, and a little bit crazy, but it tells you so much about the joint personalities of this bride and groom!

So a big thank you to Cory Ryan Photography for submitting it and for sharing your thoughts on the day!

“There’s no other way to say it… Brooke & Jeremy’s wedding was truly epic! Their whole day was truly a reflection of their fun-filled relationship, and was aptly themed Bowties and Boas. Their wedding website encouraged guests to “Break out your bow tie, suspenders, fascinator, boa or whatever else tickles your fancy. Wear something you love.”

They day began with a sweet ceremony at Long Center for Performing Arts overlooking the gorgeous Austin skyline. Their sweet puppy Lucy walked down the aisle as ring bearer with her custom feather collar and basked in all the attention. But Brooke wasn’t to be upstaged, and wowed everyone with her stunning Nicole Miller dress and bouquet made of feathers and succulents.

After the deal was sealed, the evening festivities moved to the gorgeous garden grounds of the French Legation Museum for a Great Gatsby inspired evening of fun. The tables were decorated with Indian tapestries gifted from Jeremy’s dad, and some were even laid out into a picnic style area front and center of the stage. Vividly spray painted succulents in different shapes and sizes acted as the perfect accents to each table.

The White Ghost Shivers warmed everybody up and got everyone moving, then LCD Soundsystem cover band All My Friends kicked the dance party into high gear. Even when the power circuit blew, the guests continued singing the song a capella until the end! I especially love the wedding poster that was designed by the bride and groom themselves! It was created to look like a show poster, and made for an awesome favor for guests! At the end of the night, Brooke & Jeremy ran through a tunnel of friends out to their awaiting pedi-cab and headed out to their east side Austin after-party.”
