CAITLIN DOEPFNER + BRENNAN CLAY

Caitlin and Brennan’s wedding bloomed in spectacular spring color, set on the beautiful grounds of Brennan’s family ranch. Despite a little spring rain, the day was filled with warmth, laughter, and vibrant personal touches that made it truly unforgettable.

The couple’s vision was “bright, joyful, classic, and elegant mixed with a little rustic ranch.” The natural backdrop of the Texas ranch during springtime with its open skies and roaming longhorns offered the perfect setting. Their wedding invitations, designed by Pop Parties, beautifully reflected this aesthetic with bright pastel watercolors featuring ranch scenes in yellow, hot pink, coral, baby blue, and soft green.

The venue itself was one of the most important features of the day. “Our wedding site is Brennan’s family ranch, a place where he, his brothers, and their loved ones have made so many special memories. It warms my heart, and I’m excited for our wedding to add to those great memories.”

Many elements of the day held special meaning. Caitlin honored her late grandmother by incorporating sunflowers. “My grandmother and I shared a love of sunflowers. She has passed, so including sunflowers in my bouquet and in the floral decor around the wedding is my special nod to her.”

When asked what made the wedding uniquely theirs, Caitlin said, “Flowers, great drinks, and dancing are the things that will make this night so special for Brennan and me.” She followed through on all three orders. Petals Couture made whimsical floralscapes in bold spring colors. Guests were treated to ranch water and frozen margaritas, which, of course, made the dance party even more fun.

Of course, no springtime wedding in Texas can be complete without a nod to bluebonnets. Caitlin and Brennan wove blue throughout the day, from the bridesmaids’ dresses to Caitlin’s boots, which she changed into for the reception.

One of Caitlin’s favorite memories of the day was leaving the reception with her groom in a shower of rain and rose petals. After a night of dancing, the celebration ended with a dazzling fireworks display.
