I’m so excited about Fri-Style Friday today. Today’s wedding feature is not only magical and truly inspiring in it’s level of detail, decor and creativity, but captivating in the style of photography. Morgan Lynn of Morgan Lynn Photography offered me full access to the Brittany and Comone’s wedding album, and as much as I tried to narrow down my choices, the selection of stunning images was just too seductive. As a result, the feature will be broken down into two parts just so I can share all the fabulous details.
So grab a seat (if you aren’t already) and prepare to be inspired. I give you the magical Texas masquerade of Brittany and Comone.
Setting: Houston, Texas
Heroine & Hero: Native American/Caucasian Bride – Brittany and her African American Groom – Comone.
Colors: Chocolate Brown, Crème brûlée and Gold Champagne
Scene #1: WE’RE NOT IN OKLAHOMA ANYMORE…
…as a matter of fact, we’re not even in Texas. We’re at the intersection of Fairyland and Fabulous.

After being in a relationship for over 12 years, Oklahoma native – Brittany and Texan-born Comone decided that their wedding should be a reflection of who they were. From the reflection of their personal style, to being surrounded by friends and family, the stage was set for the perfect wedding.

Scene #2: AMBIENT CHARM AND CLASSICAL HIP-HOP
The signature colors of chocolate brown, crème brûlée and gold champagne were consistently incorporated throughout the ceremony’s location. Whether those colors were a personal favorite or selected to fit the space, Brittany’s choice was a touch down. Their charming desert-kissed location was washed in shades of camel, clay and brown. By pairing their signature colors and ambient lighting, they complemented the space perfectly.

The last photo is so Cinderella, I LOVE IT! Notice the circular seating pattern which is such a great way to be all inclusive. It’s also a smart way to fit more people into a space. ” We did not want our guests seated in the traditional “bride’s side” and “groom’s side” seating arrangement.” Said Brittany. “Instead we wanted guests from both sides to intermingle and get to know each other as we are one family now!”
Fusion Music Idea: Did you notice the title printed on the photo of the sheet music? Look again, it reads “Upgrade You”… as in Beyonce’s “Upgrade You!” The wedding quartet played classical latin music for the ceremony and hip hop for the reception (images of which we’ll see later). Now, that’s what I call a clever way to maximize money spent on your vendors, maintain classy elegance, and switch things up. In case you’re wondering how hip-hop sounds on classical instruments, check out one of the more famous hip hop violinists out today: Miri Ben-Ari.
Stay tuned later today for the fairytale wedding and even more magical reception.
Spicyhugs,
Fri
