Elegant Rustic Ranch Wedding in Salado, Texas
Dana + Cody Real Wedding
Dana and Cody chose Sirena with its creek side setting surrounded by mature oak and pecan trees. The couple chose Tenroc ranch for its rustic, yet elegant feel. Salado is located midway between Dallas and Austin. It is a quant village catering to visitors looking for a weekend get-a-way. It is also a great place to have a wedding.
Cody proposed to Dana next to a lake. Some of the fantastic bridal portraits you see were taken on Cody’s country property as a surprise to him.
Dana planned every bit of the rustic wedding details herself including the handmade burlap table runners and homemade grape jelly favors. I love the way Dana scrunched up the burlap. It gave it such texture. Floral arrangements in glass vases were used for centerpieces. Votive candles dotted the tables. Lanterns with candles added to the decoration landscape. The burlap and lace ribbons wrapped around the 3 tier wedding cake were quite charming.
Dana’s bridesmaids wore mismatched strapless short dresses from David’s Bridal. The pastel palette included lavender, aqua, coral, and yellow. We have included a wedding color palette based on these colors in the post. The adorable junior bridesmaids dressed in white v-neck short dresses with tan sashes with pink flowers. The guys donned linen colored suits from Men’s Warehouse.
The vibrant spring flowers were show-stoppers. The bridal and bridesmaids bouquets were a symphony of colors: white daisies, purple stock, yellow solidago, watermelon gerbera daisies, mini-green hydrangeas, blue hydrangeas, and yellow matsomato asters. The junior bridesmaids carried carnation pomander balls. The altar flowers: white hydrangeas, coral/pink peonies, purple tissue statice, yellow solidago, cherry blossom branches, and watermelon gerbera daisies. The floral designer was Wolfe’s Florist in Waco, Texas.
