LIFEGUARD LOVE STORY
seldom do we hear of love stories that start over slushies, but that was definitely the case for #aandbabe catriona and benjamin. catriona recalls meeting her now husband at their hometown pool. both were lifeguards and went as friends to sonic before going on their first official date. from a drive-in to their dallas wedding, we love catriona and benjamin’s love for one another. settle in to see just how that love was featured throughout their special day.
HOW TO PLAN A CLASSIC CHURCH WEDDING?
simplicity and classic style defined catriona and benjamin’s wedding ceremony. in getting ready shots and their invitation suite flat lay, you can see the care catriona put into incorporating timeless details. a bridal perfume bottle of chanel matched the circular shapes of the silver wedding rings. written on matte black stationery with cursive text, their wedding invitations were also sophisticated and sleek. on the invitations, you can see the details of their church wedding in coppell, texas and reception at hidden pines highland village.
BLACK BRIDESMAID DRESSES
before walking down the aisle at the church, catriona grabbed a few photos with her bridal party. wearing black a-line bridesmaid dresses with one-shoulder necklines, each bridesmaid popped against catriona’s clean crepe wedding dress. these black formal bridesmaid gowns also helped the classical wedding bouquets stand out. each bridesmaid held a slightly simpler version of the bride’s white rose wedding bouquet. covered in satin ribbon at the stems, these minimal bridal flowers matched the modern aesthetic of their simple church wedding.
VAGABOND WEDDING DRESSES NEAR ME?
if you want to find a unique collection of designer wedding dresses in dallas, texas, our a&bé dallas bridal shop is the perfect destination. catriona found her vagabond wedding dress there as well as her made with love bridal veil. wearing ‘alpha’ dress by vagabond as well as ‘carla veil’ by made with love bridal, this crepe fitted wedding dress was ideal for their classic nuptials.
in some photos you can see that catriona slipped her arms out of her thick off-the-shoulder straps as she took photos with her friends and family. turning her off-the-shoulder wedding dress into a strapless bridal gown with a folded bodice, this two-looks-in-one wedding dress was ideal for their day wedding and night reception.
catriona wore her hair down in waves and picked small pearl drop earrings as her statement accessory. matching the bright tulle on her made with love lace veil, catriona also wore block heel bridal shoes with a bow accent. these playful wedding shoes were a dreamy mix of fashion and comfort.
HOW TO PICK YOUR WEDDING RECEPTION DRESS?
catriona and benjamin’s wedding reception had lively music and bold marquee letters from alpha-lit. at some point in the evening, catriona changed out of her vagabond wedding dress and into a sleek halter neck bridal slip dress.
when choosing your wedding reception dress, we think it’s important to consider the style of your bridal gown. we liked that the simplicity of the two gowns complimented each other, but the fabric and necklines were totally different! if you’re shopping for a short wedding reception dress, think about your actual dress and what elements you may want to change up so you can best enjoy your reception.
COOL WEDDING CAR EXIT
the night ended with catriona and benjamin making their way to a classic wedding car that awaited to whisk them away. some of their last wedding photos have a retro film-like quality and add to the elegant aesthetic that surrounded their modern may wedding.

IS PINK A GOOD COLOR FOR A WEDDING?
colorful weddings are trendy and while we’re all about staying on trend, we do think that some wedding colors are easier to incorporate than others. take for example blush pink, from pops of pink with your wedding flowers, tablescapes, custom neon signs, and more, pink is a fun and relatively fuss-free wedding color palette.
we love how #aandbabe megan and eric made this on-trend wedding color their own through unique wedding decor and thoughtful touches. let’s take a second to appreciate their cool wedding looks and signature wedding color.
CHAPEL WEDDING VENUES IN TEXAS
small texas wedding chapels are common, but it is rare to find one as modern as the chapel at emerson venue in kaufman county, texas. with polished concrete floors, an airy aisle, and arched windows behind the altar, this charming wedding venue near dallas, texas was ideal for their intimate nuptials.
standing behind a sign that read “going to the chapel” and enjoying their first look and bride and groom gift exchange taking place before the ceremony, megan and eric made the most of their time alone at the chapel.
PINK BRIDESMAID DRESSES
megan also surprised her bridesmaids with a first look. lining her crew up by the emerson’s black staircase, you can see their pure delight as they see megan in her gown for the first time. each bridesmaid is wearing a different bridesmaid dress in light pink or champagne. the mixture of bridesmaid dresses created a relaxed look and made megan’s ivory made with love wedding dress stand out even more.

if you’re searching for a stellar collection of new made with love bridal styles, make sure to visit our a&bé dallas bridal shop. with a range of made with love wedding dresses, you’re sure to find a mwl gown that matches your distinct wedding vision.
this was certainly the case for megan when she found her ‘ryder’ by made with love bridal gown at a&bé dallas. the beaded lace wedding dress was the exact fit and style she had in mind. standing out among their pink wedding decor, the subtle sparkle of ryder dress by made with love made their wedding day that much more magical.
wearing her hair down, megan glowed in this elegant made with love dress. pairing the embellished bridal gown with a simple tulle veil and beaded earrings, megan was a vision the entire day. trading her light blue wedding heels for light pink bridal sneakers at the end of the night, we love the subtle changes megan made to her modern bridal look.
