Marie Gabrielle in Downtown Dallas was the perfect wedding venue for this chic, outdoor celebration provided to us by Wedding Planner Jordan Payne. Susan and Soo were married at Marie Gabrielle in September. Susan wore a Vera Wang gown.

Jordan is all about the details when it comes to planning weddings. Sexy, chic tones of gold and purple with damask patterns made for a fabulous night. From the beautiful custom damask drapes and floral halo that adorned their ceremony to their swoon worthy rhinestone tent designed and created by the talented Nelson Robinson of Stageworks.

We are so blessed to have such wonderfully talented partners. Our job at StrictlyWeddings.com is to continue to bring our brides (and grooms) the best in luxury wedding resources.

One of our Dallas partners we go to when we need a little creative inspiration is Wedding & Event Planner Jordan Payne. This fun bridal shoot, at W DALLAS – VICTORY HOTEL, clearly shows the enjoyment the bride is having (which means that Jordan’s keeping things lively in the background). It’s all about keeping it lively, creative and enjoyable for Jordan’s brides.

Chicago Wedding Planner Hope Weis shared this exquisite wedding with us this week. This intimate wedding of 70 was treated to an evening of fine dining and fine wines. It was important to bride and groom Lisa Miller & Jim Knight that they create an evening similar to dining at one of their favorite restaurants in Chicago – Spiaggia. Regarded internationally as an influential culinary force, Chef Tony Mantuano’s Spiaggia is the only four-star Italian restaurant in Chicago.

A six course Degustazione Menu was prepared by Chef Montuano with wine pairings by wine expert Cathy Montuano. Beautifully appointed tables & furniture groupings were created by another one of StrictlyWeddings.com Chicago partners, Heffernan Morgan Designs. Guests dined and danced to the Don Cagen Orchestra on the Terrace of the Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago, while overlooking the beautiful city and Millennium Park.
