We had the great pleasure of working with Kailey and Henry to plan their fall wedding day at The Magnolia Hotel in Houston. This was actually our fourth wedding we have helped Kailey’s family plan - what an honor! For this wedding, K+H envisioned their fete as one filled with personal details, like nods to their love for the movie “Up” and Star Wars, Kailey’s love of sunflowers and blue (with warm tones as a nod to fall), a wonderful menu, and plenty of dancing. 

Before their celebration officially commenced, they each spent their mornings getting ready. They opted to enjoy two first looks – one between Kailey and her dad and a second between the bride and her almost husband. We loved how they didn’t choose between the two, but instead honored both relationships beautifully! Then, Kailey and Henry gathered with their close family members and friends for their ketubah signing. This is one of the Jewish wedding traditions we enjoy the most. 

Guests mingled together before the ceremony officially began, and our team couldn’t help but take a few extra peeks at the design. A chuppah draped in white awaited the couple, along with plenty of florals by Last Petal. The sunflowers truly popped against the blue palette! 

Post vows, Kailey and Henry toasted to their new union together and rejoined their guests in the ballroom at The Magnolia Hotel for dinner, dancing, and plenty of cake. Similar to the ceremony space, tables were adorned with sunflower centerpieces, and guests dined on a menu by The Magnolia Hotel. Guests could not get enough of the dance floor, and the fun continued during Henry’s Star Wars groom’s cake presentation by Thirteen Bakery. Just before Kailey and Henry’s reception officially came to a close, their guests lined either side of the ballroom to celebrate the new Mr. and Mrs. during their all-too-appropriate light saber exit! 

Kailey and Henry infused so much of their personalities throughout their wedding day, and it was a joy to join together with them and their families. Thank you to Chip Gillespie Photography for capturing all of the fun and details!
