Christine + Keith {Soft Vintage +Rustic Chic}


When we met for Christine's final walk through at Olde Dobbin Station, the sun was shining, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Truly, it was one of those perfect days that are a rarity in Houston. If a ceremony is scheduled outside, I am always sure there is a plan B as you never know what will happen with our finicky weather. In almost 6 years of wedding planning, I have never needed to actually use the backup plan, and with the great weather streak we were having, I definitely didn't think we would need it this time. Low and behold, not only did it rain the day before the wedding, but it was a total monsoon! It rained so hard, and so much, that water was entering the inside of the venue from under the front door! I have never been so glad to have that backup plan! Not only did we use plan B for the ceremony, but I think it turned out even more beautiful and unique than with an outdoor ceremony. Christine and Keith were married in the old train station, Olde Dobbin Station, in Montgomery, Texas. This is truly a venue that you aren't going to find in the heart of the city, but venture out just a bit, and you will come across this amazing find! With exposed brick, stained cement floors, and an open floor plan, the possibilities at Olde Dobbin Station are endless!
Christine filled up this space following her vision of combining elements that were rustic, but with elegance, along with soft vintage touches that added splashes of romance. Both sides complimented her style wonderfully.

For the reception, the wedding party sat at a rectangular head table with chiavari chairs, draped with burlap and lace bows, and the table was beautifully lined with the bridesmaids bouquets in mason jars, which were dressed up by the bride's creative mother. Christine and Keith also had their own bride and groom's signs adorning their seats, and personalized glasses to enjoy all night (not that they spent much time at their table)! These two definitely enjoyed their guests, and loved getting to spend the evening with each and every one! From the Grand March, in honor of Keith's family, to the Aggie War Hymn, the bride and groom never left the dance floor!

  2. Good to know about your wedding and these are amazing photographs of event. Couple of weeks back, I had arranged my nephew’s wedding reception at one of graceful
    venues in Houston. The gathering was good and we enjoyed a lot.
