How one expecting couple planned their summer lake wedding in three months

October 1, 2019
Intimate late summer backyard wedding in Austin

We’d be big fans of Colby + Kelly’s backyard wedding even it if wasn’t at *the* most gorgeous lake house (it’s C’s parents’!), but let’s be real, that definitely helps. After finding out they were pregnant, they knew they wanted to be married when baby arrived, but they didn’t plan to throw a wedding. That is, of course, until their friends and fam stepped in and decided to make it happen… in three months, no less. Luckily, the groom’s sister, Texas bridal beauty expert Chassie Anders, had loads of industry knowledge to help them pull it off!

Chassie helped C + K connect with Austin vendors that might be able to help them pull off their wedding in less than three months. Luckily lots of wonderful talents were up to the challenge, including florist Remi + Gold.

80 guests attended their wedding, and they all went back out by the pool for after-dinner dancing. And yep, they jumped in after, too!
