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
