Real Wedding: Chelsea and Josh’s Sophisticated Modern Wedding in Downtown Dallas

A few weeks ago, our certified wedding planners kicked off 2015 with a BLING! Chelsea and Josh’s glamorous black and white wedding at The Joule was full of breathtaking details, from the lush floral arrangements and sleek ghost chairs to the dazzling table linens and abundant crystal accents. Check out this wonderful photography by Amy Herfurth!

The couple came to our Weddings by StarDust dream team with a clear vision: a single location for both the ceremony and reception, a black and white color palette with a modern and elegant design, and the reception must be loads of fun! Our talented wedding planners happily took the challenge and delivered  - in spades!

The Joule Hotel was selected as the venue and offered the perfect space for the short and sweet but beautiful ceremony on the rooftop terrace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The celebration moved inside, where the ballroom was simply spectacular.

Guests dined on a mouth-watering surf and turf duo. Later, they enjoyed two fabulous cake creations and were sent home with sweet treats as a thank-you.

 

 

 

 

 

Chelsea’s gorgeous Lazaro gown and crystal-edged Toni Federici veil fit perfectly into the bling-centric evening. 

 

Chelsea's bridesmaids' short lacy black Watters dresses reinforced the elegant feel of the wedding, while the gents looked rather dapper in their tuxes.

Here are a few more details from the evening that are oh-so-lovely!

At the end of the party, the happy couple was sent off with a musical escort while guests shook lighted tambourines.
