late summer wedding bouquets

A couple that has fun together stays together, and this dynamic due is the proof! After a nearly-missed first encounter, Brendan fell head over heels in love with Thalia Claire’s smile at their rescheduled date. Brendan planned his proposal at the Dallas Arboretum, where the two spent the day drinking tea at the Ritz. It ended with an engagement at the Nasher Sculpture Garden, after which they celebrated at home with a wonderful surprise party with their closest friends.
