We can’t stop swooning over Chloe and Clayton’s September wedding! The couple tied the knot beneath a dreamy oak tree at a private ranch in Menard, Texas creating the kind of day that wedding dreams are made of 🤍

Their color palette of soft purples and cheerful yellows brought such joy to the celebration. We adore the bridesmaid color palette in their shades of light lavender, pink and mixed print dresses! The parasols are the sweetest touch (genius for that Texas sunshine, right?), and the florals from Philpott Florists & Greenhouse were just chef’s kiss.

Their ceremony under the century oak tree created an intimate atmosphere that perfectly framed their heartfelt vows, with family and friends gathered close to witness their special moment. After they said their “I do’s,” guests mingled and celebrated with wood-fired pizzas from Rollin’ Wood Fired Pizza Abilene (um, yum!) and later on sipped specialty coffees from EspressOak’s mobile coffee bar – such a fun twist on wedding catering!

When it came time to party, DJ Stash absolutely brought the energy! He expertly mixed tracks that had everyone showing off their best moves. The Kothmanns selected DJ Stash for his reputation of creating unforgettable dance parties, and he definitely delivered. From romantic slow dances to high-energy hits, his expertly crafted playlist kept the dance floor packed all night long. Guests couldn’t help but join in as the celebration continued under the stars.✨

What we love most about this celebration was how the ranch setting created an atmosphere of genuine warmth and comfort. The sprawling landscape, the shelter of that grand oak tree, and all the thoughtful personal touches of this wedding reminded us that the most beautiful celebrations are the ones where everyone feels completely at home 💕
