About Their Day

Hunter and Blake’s wedding was an explosion of color, creativity, and joy — the kind of celebration that perfectly reflected their personalities. Set against the natural beauty of Cypress Falls, their day blended bold design choices with meaningful, personal touches that made every moment unforgettable.

The morning began with Think Brink Beauty, who brought their signature effortless-meets-elevated touch to hair and makeup. Hunter and her bridal party glowed with soft, radiant glam that complemented the day’s vibrant palette — polished yet playful, perfectly fitting for the celebration ahead.

Guests were greeted with one of the most unique seating charts we’ve seen — a hotel-style “check-in” desk complete with colorful room keys and a glowing neon sign that read “Check in for a Good Time.” It set the tone for a weekend that was equal parts playful and polished.

The ceremony took place beneath a canopy of trees, with vibrant floral pillars and lush greenery by Floral Designs by Randi framing the couple as they said “I do.” The blooms, in bold shades of coral, fuchsia, orange, and gold, carried through to the reception where tables came alive with tropical centerpieces, colorful taper candles, and patterned linens.

Inside the reception space, guests were treated to a stunning tablescape layered with texture and color — think teal runners, amber glassware, gold chargers, and coral napkins tied neatly at each setting. Every detail was thoughtfully designed to feel joyful, fresh, and unmistakably “Hunter and Blake.”

The wedding party carried the vibrant theme seamlessly, with bridesmaids in mix-and-match gowns ranging from ruffled turquoise to citrus green. Instead of traditional bouquets, they held floral handbags crafted from palm leaves and bursting with blooms — a fashion-forward twist we can’t get enough of.

From the first look to the last dance, every frame captured the energy and connection that defined this day. Hunter + Blake’s wedding wasn’t just a visual masterpiece — it was a celebration of love, color, and community that will be remembered for years to come.

We Asked The Couple Was Culture or Heritage Part of Your Wedding?

“I have always loved the idea of a New Orleans style wedding & spent a lot of time in the South during college. I fell in love with Cypress Falls, so we brought NOLA to the hill country!”
