Get ready to swoon because today’s #realbride feature showcases true southern style and charm! Carlyle and John’s perfect Pecan Orchard wedding that took place at his family’s estate May 2021 made for one of the dreamiest outdoor weddings we’ve ever seen!

When we first met with Carlyle back in June 2020, she expressed the vision of keeping her wedding day look simple and sleek. After trying on several styles Carlyle said YES to a fitted Tara Keely by Lazaro gown. “Mia” is a stunning silk Mikado gown that features a Chantilly lace bodice with scattered clear sequins to give a hint of sparkle. We completed Carlyle’s wedding day look with a gorgeous hand crafted Cathedral Chantilly lace trimmed veil by Sara Gabriel.

We are so in love with every detail and know you will enjoy this little peek into Mr. and Mrs. Hooglands beautiful Spring wedding captured by Laura Caraway Photography.

We love that Carlyle did three special private “first looks” with her father, bridesmaids and groom. How perfect are their reactions in seeing her in her wedding gown for the first time!

The beautifully thought out color pallet of Golds, Greens and Ivories echoed throughout and married with the lush landscape of the Pecan Orchard!

You only get to wear your gown once so let your hair down and have fun! We love that a little rain didn’t stop Carlyle and her hubby from having a magical day!
