From the planner: “As Davy and Skylar first started brainstorming for this editorial, an inspiration couple took shape. Their couple would want to bring Old World glamour to the natural Texas countryside. Their design goal was to meld a love for European travel with an appreciation of the South. They knew instantly there was no other choice than The Clubs at Houston Oaks! They have a 15th-century chapel that was brought over from France. The palette started with a soft primary group of blush, cool grey and gentle green, brought to life through vibrant burgundies, antique golds, forest greens and rich, peachy tones. They set up the tablescape beneath the soft overhang of the oaks dripping in Spanish moss. The simple semi-naked cake with edible gold details absolutely shimmered in the soft evening light. She + Him Bartending whipped up a plethora of custom cocktails all inspired by the Europe-meets-Texas vibe. A favorite detail was the 1960s Rolls Royce, the perfect getaway car for the happy couple.”
