Vintage-Inspired College Sweetheart Wedding at Cliff House in Dallas, Texas

After eight years together, Alicia and Daniel wanted their wedding to be a simple celebration of their love. “We skipped the traditional ‘to-do’ items and stuck to the important things,” Alicia says. The couple, who met working at Forever 21 in college, exchanged vows in front of a macramé wall hanging made by a friend, while their bestie officiated the ceremony. Big-band love songs kicked off the vintage-inspired reception.
Alicia’s bundle contained a rustic mix of eucalyptus, roses, mums, scabiosa, amaranthus and anemones. 

Alicia rocked a sparkly sheer cape over her satin gown and slipped on her grandmother’s sapphire ring to represent her something old, borrowed and blue. A custom clay sculpture of the couple with their golden retriever, Audrey, topped the chocolate salted caramel, lemon blackberry and champagne raspberry cake. Alicia and Daniel opted for low, minimalist greenery to accommodate the family-style meal of cremini mushroom lasagna and grilled hanger steak with smoked Swiss chard. “We wanted it to feel like we just had everyone over to our house for dinner,” Alicia says.
