In the heartwarming glow of a Texan winter sun, Krystina and Dakota exchanged vows in the beautiful setting of Scenic Springs by Wedgewood, nestled in Helotes, Texas. The weather, a delightful surprise on this December day, gracing the celebration with temperatures in the 60s and a dose of sunshine. Against this backdrop of natural splendor, Krystina and Dakota curated an intimate wedding affair, attended by around 70 cherished guests and a cozy wedding party of six, crafting a story of love that unfolded amidst the picturesque charm of a Texan winter.

The bride chose colors in Sage, Ivory and Whites to showcase her day.

Amidst the splendor of majestic oak trees, the beautiful ceremony unfolded with a gentle creek providing a backdrop to the union of the Krystina and Dakota. The bride, having lost her father the preceding year, was gracefully escorted down the aisle by her prospective father-in-law, experienced an emotional moment as she was bestowed into the hands of her husband to be. Remarkably, the father-in-law, who also held the honor of serving as the best man, gracefully undertook a dual role in this beautiful celebration.

Krystina’s gown had enchanting twirl factor that could only be described as dreamlike, a vision brought to life through her choice at Signature Bridal in Bee Cave, Texas. In a nod to tradition, Dakota was clad in the classic lines of a traditional tuxedo. Their attire choices not only reflected individual taste but also added a touch of elegance to the unfolding romance of their special day.

The day ended with a delicious meal and music and superb MC provided by Cutting Edge Entertainment, and a smores pit (which I now believe is a staple in all winter weddings!)

Then the night closed on a beautiful candle lit private last dance.
