Traditional Black & White Wedding With A Modern Rustic Twist

Liz and Chase’s traditional black and white wedding has a modern rustic twist that we absolutely love! When it came to choosing a reception venue, Liz and Chase instantly fell in love with the Sunset Coffee Building. With enough space for an amazing plaza reception, incredible views of downtown Houston, and being close to the bayou, this venue was the perfect location for incorporating important aspects of their relationship into their reception. Liz looked truly stunning with her half-up, softly curled hairstyle and natural makeup look by Hey Lovely. Delicate white roses with textured greenery by Bramble & Bee added the perfect soft touch to complement rustic and industrial decor.  Royal Dukes Band kept the dance floor packed all night, and Cakes by Gina satisfied everyone’s sweet tooth with their scrumptious naked cake. Each modern rustic detail of this wedding day was captured by the always-amazing Caroline Fontenot, and we are obsessed scrolling through their wedding gallery below. Cheers to the Spruills!

From the bride on her most helpful vendor: “Our photographer, Caroline Fontenot, could not have been better. She stepped up during the wedding day and actually started taking on a coordination role on top of the photographs – she directed our shuttle where to take us, kept us on a timeline and took the most amazing photos we could have asked for.”
