Large Guest Count + A December Wedding Couldn’t Keep Justin + Jessica From Keeping Nuptials Cozy
Friday, August 7, 2015
It’s a daring aspiration when weddings of 100 guests or more desire an intimate feel, but that’s not to say it can’t be done. Justin and Jessica's wedding at Houston Station proved that it is more than possible even with 215 guests.
This winter wedding, garnished with soft drapes and candles coupled with the exposed brick of the Houston Station venue provided a warm atmosphere in a chilly month for all their guests. The silver, gray, and white hues gave us chills, and we couldn't help but feel as if we were present for the ceremony through the exquisite photos and videos.

Where did you get your inspiration?
We wanted the wedding to have an intimate feel. Chandeliers, candles, and soft draping were a must to accommodate what we imagined. Exposed brick at Houston Station also made the event cozier. We used a lot of white, silver, and gray because we felt that would give the wedding a winterish atmosphere. We used shades of purple in the flowers and bridesmaids’ dresses because that’s my (Jessica's) favorite color.
What was your (or your guests’) favorite aspect of your wedding?
Our wedding was classy and elegant, yet very intimate and relaxed. The preacher did a fabulous job at making us feel very comfortable and the band kept us dancing all night long! The photo booth was also a big hit with guests. The pictures are priceless!
Where did you splurge? Where did you save/DIY?
We splurged on the table linens and place settings.
Who were your favorite vendors and what made them exceptional?
All of our vendors were exceptional. Emily Humphries (wedding planner) did a fantastic job of getting our sense of our style/vision and recommending the best vendors.
In one sentence, what words of advice do you have for couples in the midst of their planning?
A wedding planner is worth the added cost!
