Boy meets girl. Boy gets girl’s phone number. Boy and girl go out and fall in love. Such was the case for SMU college sweethearts Mia and Blake. After asking Mia on a getaway to Chicago that was disguised as a trip to spend time with family, Blake asked for her hand in marriage on the Kinzie Street Bridge–the same place her dad proposed to her mother. After the thoughtful proposal, the couple celebrated with family and friends and quickly started planning their dream wedding in Dallas.
For their summer time nuptials, it was fitting that the couple chose to marry at Perkins Chapel. “Blake and I met and fell in love while at SMU, so it only felt right that we be married there too!” Mia says. On July 25, 2015, the couple said “I do” in front of their closest friends and family who flew in from all over the United States. Following the romantic ceremony was a reception at The Room on Main in downtown. “I fell in love with the hardwood floors, large windows, and antique chandeliers,” Mia says. Branching Out and Caroline Events completed the couple’s vision of a romantic, classic, and summery vibe. The team decided on a neutral palette of ivory and light pink and brought in mercury glass details for a bit of texture.
All in all, it was the dream day that Mia had wanted. “Every detail of our wedding day was absolutely perfect—everything we had ever dreamed of and more,” she says.
