Urban Garden Wedding Inspiration in the Heart of Dallas

Urban Garden Inspired Wedding

A romantic garden hidden in the heart of a big city? Yes, yes, and yes! First inspired by the garden itself at Marie Gabrielle in Dallas, event designer Laura Cadenhead, planner Maxwell + Gray, and photographer Jessi Marie Photography teamed up to bring a blissful oasis to the bustling city. They found that once you set foot inside the gardens, it was as if you’ve escaped the city noise and stumbled upon a hidden gem.

Jessi shares Our vision for this shoot was to truly elevate this already romantic outdoor space, showcasing it’s lush greenery, dramatic fountains and overhanging trees while gently exposing the one-of-kind backdrop behind it all — a bustling cityscape. We wanted to bring in hues of bright + bold tones while still doing justice to the greens, neutrals and airy outdoors.

Ready to take a walk through the garden? Let’s stroll on through…
