A + R
Meet Autumn + Riley! The details of their wedding day were a stunning mix of timelessness + modern flaire. The weather was perfect, their vendor team was a blast to work alongside, and they capped off the night with the most epic dance party surrounded by all their family + friends!
Here’s their story – “Autumn and Riley started their journey together in the same second grade class at Nebbie Williams Elementary. However, they truly began their love story in March 2013 on a group date to the Dallas Zoo. From that moment on, Autumn and Riley developed a deep and lasting relationship that was rooted despite their distance apart during their times at Texas A&M and The University of Oklahoma. Their relationship was rekindled in May 2017 during their final years of college. Autumn and Riley both returned to Dallas, Texas and began their careers. On July 26th, 2020 Riley proposed to Autumn in their hometown of Rockwall, Texas and their forever together began.”
Okay, not gonna lie – we teared up reading about what drew A + R to choosing The Emerson for their big day! We long for our space to feel like your own. So, it meant so much to us when we heard that the venue felt like home to them. “We were drawn to the Emerson for many reasons, including the minimalist modern style and the breathtaking chapel. We admired the beautiful simplicity of the Emerson that created a warm, welcoming, and backyard wedding-like atmosphere. We loved that we could create our own “vibe” through the rentals offered by Coral Lane. To us, it was more than a venue, it was a place that felt like “home” and a place that we could make the most important promise of our lives in front of our friends and family. These are just a few reasons we chose the Emerson.”
Wedding days are so special and full of so many magical moments! We love to hear which moments were the most memorable once the day has passed! “The most memorable part of our day was opening the chapel doors and seeing each other for the first time on our wedding day (moments before “I do”). It was so special to see everyone we love in a beautiful space celebrating us. Additionally, we will never forget dancing under the patio lights soaking in every moment of our day during our last private dance at the end of an epic celebration.”
We couldn’t agree more or put enough emphasis on A’s advice to all those who are planning now! “If I could give any advice to those planning their wedding, it would be to not over-stress the details and enjoy the fun moments of planning with your future spouse. Your wedding day is without a doubt an extremely important day, but remember God’s purpose for marriage and use the pre-wedding time to invest in the life-long journey you and your future spouse are about to endure together. It is so worth it!”
Congratulations again A + R! We had the most fun being a part of celebrating you two! We hope that you are soaking up every moment of this newlywed season! We cannot wait to see what’s in store for your future. Thank you for choosing us for your BEST DAY EVER! Another special thank you goes to all the vendors who executed all the details from A + R’s day! They all knocked it out of the park, so be sure to check them out below!
