Elegant Ballroom Wedding Captured by Nate Messarra Photography

For a fun, fresh take on all things traditional, we can’t keep our eyes off of Lauren and Benjamin’s elegant ballroom wedding captured by Nate Messarra Photography! Between the ceremony at All Saints Church and reception at The Houstonian, the couple and their team of vendors perfectly captured the beauty of time-honored wedding traditions while still infusing fun elements of modern detail to make their special day unique to their taste and personalities. Keeping the decor from Avalon Event Rentals simple, the couple brought the focus attention to the true purpose of the celebration: delighting in their love and sharing it with their closest friends and family members! Table settings were kept simple and sweet but featured a handful of glittering gold linens to add a bit of extra pizzazz to the setting. The bride and groom danced the night away to music from LG Events and Entertainment and enjoyed a delicious four-tier cake from Susie’s Cakes and Confections. Such a delightful evening full of joy and traditional elegance! Enjoy!

From the bride: “When people ask if they can ‘help’ ­ let them! Everyone wants to be included in your big day, and the tiniest of chore they perform can make a difference. And don’t sweat the small stuff – ­ just make sure someone else will! Early planning and ‘delegating’ with love paid off. Just keep smiling and loving one another that whole day. ­ You never get it back.

Our wedding day was perfect. I will laugh, cry, smile when I reminisce rest of my life over this day. There was absolutely not one bit of negative drama. Our basic timeline I had imagined was executed perfectly, even the fabulous fall weather. The weather, wedding party, guests, food, vendors, and especially our families, were perfect in every way. We had a fun, playful day full of laughter and meaningful memories that we hope to tell our children about ­someday!”
