From the moment Annie and Trey locked eyes in a psychology class at Texas A&M, their story has been woven with sweetness, intentionality, and unexpected joy. Years of campus run-ins, late-night Zooms during COVID, and a long-distance chapter led to a heartfelt lakeside proposal on Annie’s family dock in East Texas.
When asked not just what she wanted the wedding to look like, but what Annie wanted her big day to feel like. Annie dreamed of a day filled with meaningful moments with family, time with Trey, and the kind of celebration that felt undeniably “them.” The blue-toned palette was inspired by Annie’s lifelong love of the color, and a nod to her radiant blue eyes. From the robin egg blue cake, earrings from Annie’s grandmother’s wedding day as the something borrowed, and the darker blue bar and stage facade, it was the perfect color combination.
One of the most touching memories of the planning season came from Annie’s father, who asked her to come over weekly in the months leading up to the wedding so they could practice their father-daughter dance. The two took lessons, memorized light choreography, making the moment a sweet and sentimental highlight of the reception. Their upbeat dance to “December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)” was followed by a tambourine surprise: every bridesmaid and house party member had one, complete with custom monograms and blue-and-white ribbons, adding a playful twist to the night.
While Annie glowed in a floral-detailed gown from Neiman Marcus, it was the candid, emotion-filled moments that made the day unforgettable: a veil mishap at the altar turned funny memory, crowd-surfing at the reception, and late-night texts from guests calling it “the most fun wedding” they’d ever attended. Their wedding wasn’t about a production, it was about people, love, and joy that radiated through every detail. The greatest compliment of all came from hearing the day felt “so Annie and Trey.”
