Eclectic Hill Country Wedding at The Wildflower Barn

This colorful and eclectic Texas wedding was inspired by the couple’s vibrant, rough-around-the-edges style. Bride Melissa chose a colorful strapless gown in lieu of something white, and her groom Gabriel complemented the choice with an embroidered bow tie and kitschy suspenders in equally bold hues. Happy Day Media masterfully captured the outdoor ceremony, where Melissa and Gabriel stood beneath a lace chuppah and exchanged personal vows. Staying true to the Hill Country spirit, guests hung on to their britches riding a mechanical bull before dancing the night away to the musical stylings of The Love Leighs — joined by the newlyweds themselves!

The Couple:

Melissa and Gabriel

The Wedding:

The Wildflower Barn, Driftwood, Texas

The Inspiration:

We wanted it to feel like springtime in Texas hill country, which it was, and it did. Barnyard chic, understated, with gothic accents. Guests wore their “Sunday’s best” and the two of us just wanted to feel beautiful. I didn’t go for the white dress, so we complimented one another in color.

The Moments:

Gabriel: Listening to Melissa’s vows, because they surprised me, as always.

Melissa: My little brother’s toast.

We ended the party by singing the blues with our amazing band, The Love Leighs, for our friends and family. Mel also, at some point, freestyles a Method Man-inspired rhyme that pronounced her love to Gibs.
