Tony & Kristin Bohanan - Private Estate - November 1, 2014

Weddings are supposed to be about love, right?  The word alone is at the main foundation of what a marriage is about.  THIS wedding was what it should be about.  The amount of love between Tony and Kristin could not be measured. Throw in an abundance of celebrating with family and friends and you have yourself one heck of a wedding!  

It wasn't about being showy, or being better than one of her (many) sisters.  Kristin planned her wedding to be quaint, intimate, and really showcase who she and Tony were as a couple.  

She asked for pastels, wild flowers, and a feel that reflected the look of her family's ranch in Sarasota, Florida.  Her dress...was THE dress.  Vintage, tea length, embelished in all the right places and just perfect for her - was the start of the design process for me.  

I took my cues from the blush pinks, delicate lace and played off of Kristin's lovely, sweet and oh so soothing personality.  Every meeting with her let me feeling more at ease than when it started (she's got a gift for that).  
​Her ceremony was loving and full of spirit.  The vows between Kristin and Tony were heartfelt and sincere.  Her dog Emma even followed her down the aisle (which was totally not planned, but so wonderful!)
Family and friends dined and celebrated under a draped tent in the families riding corral and danced the night away with Jam All Day Entertainment leading the party!  
​
I am so thankful to say that although the wedding planning is over, I am still close to Kristin and her family.  Her father is my pediatrician and we speak often!  I am so fortunate that I get to do what I love, and meet some amazing people along the way.
