Learn from Kate and Jake: The bridesmaids wore long, toffee colored dresses designed by Jim Hjelm. The stylish programs tied with satin ribbon were small enough for guests to put them in their pockets and purses. The doors to the church were decorated with wreaths filled with roses and hydrangeas. The couple sent their guests home with cheese pastries from the bride’s favorite bakery in Dallas.

Learn from Betsy and Tony: Betsy wore a simple, strapless gown with a champagne sash and carried a bouquet of white roses, blue hydrangeas, and green poppy pods. The bridesmaids’ navy blue dresses were a classic touch to the modern wedding. The couple used their monogram in many places such as on the programs and coasters to tie the event together.
