T he classically romantic setting of the proposal launched Darby and Joseph into creating an equally exquisite wedding ceremony. Enlisting the help of Ashley & Company, the couple decided on an intimately elegant December wedding with simple details, white flowers, and very little Christmas décor. The Bridal Party Darby’s dress was found at Brickhouse Bridal in The Woodlands. One of the first dresses she tried, Darby says it was a quick selection and found within an hour of shopping. Featuring pewter overlay, the dress was form fitting and had cap-sleeves added for the conservative nature of the ceremony, which was held at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church. “I didn’t want too many details to take away from the grandness of what it could be,” says Darby. The bridesmaids selected their own formal, black dresses. With a variety of styles and materials, the gowns reflected the personalities of the bridesmaids and wonderfully accented the classic motif. The groomsmen wore traditional black tuxedoes from Men’s Warehouse. The bride and bridesmaids had hair and makeup by Funky Cheveux in College Station. The salon helped to ease Darby’s nerves by playing whatever music the party selected and made for a great morning of preparation. The groomsmen spent the wedding morning at Traditions Country Club in the men’s locker room. More than a locker click www.insitebrazosvalley.com 7
