Kristina & Dave


Kristina and Dave were married at the groom’s family ranch in Medina, Texas. The couple felt the ranch would be a perfect location for the site of their wedding so once they were engaged the groom’s family immediately begun a huge renovation project at the ranch. A barn was constructed and the grounds around the 100 year old home were completely transformed. The ceremony took place in front of a lake that exists on the property. The family had a dock built specifically for the occasion. This wedding was a destination wedding for everyone involved. The couple wanted to treat their guests to a bit of Fiesta so we arranged for everyone attending to stay at the Marriott Plaza Hotel downtown. On wedding day we used motor coach buses to pick all of the guests and transport them the 90 miles to the ranch. The guests were greeted to gentlemen holding cowboy hats with the wedding programs.

Once the guests were seated the wedding began with the maid of honor playing the fiddle as she walked down the aisle.
It was amazing! The wedding party including the bride and groom all wore cowboy boots and we encouraged the guests to do so too!
We designed gorgeous invites that were perfect for this ranch wedding and added our suggestion on the invite so all guests would be prepared.
Following the ceremony the guests enjoyed cocktails around the home and then they all walked down to the barn for dinner.

The guests dined on some Texas flavors served from food stations. For dessert they were treated to Peach cobbler. The wedding cake was really a homemade pie made especially for the newlyweds by the bride’s mom.

The doors to the barn remained open and a large bonfire was set up outside.
The guests meandered in and out listening to the live music inside and enjoying the bonfire outside. Inside the barn we decorated with a combination of round and long family style tables.
We covered the tables with simple burlap runners, galvanized pails filled with wildflowers and tree trunks with candles on them.
It was truly a Texas Wedding.
