Can you imagine how fun it would be to gather 25 of your favorite people and party together in your favorite place? Not a bad way to get married, in our opinion. And Cari + Oscar decided to do just that! Two creatives with a big love for the quirky art town of Marfa, Texas, C + O found THE coolest ceremony location in The Wrong Store, a church-turned-gallery. Here’s more behind the day’s inspiration from Cari:
ART, LOVE & MARFA! We took all the things we love: the area, art, people, style, things that make us feel at home, and went with it. We love to mix colors with natural elements and turned to Green Wedding Shoes for inspiration and GOALS to be brave and bold!
Lauren Nicole Photography headed west with the party to capture all the festive fun — let’s have a look!
Cari rocked this killer crown by Amaroq — a GWS favorite! (Check out these bridal hairpiece trends if you’re loving the look!)
Is she not a vision?!
The First Look
Cari was fringed and fabulous in that Rue de Seine gown from a & bé bridal shop!
Meanwhile, Oscar totally rocked that ASOS floral suit! As you may already know, we totally have a thing for grooms in grooms in floral suits.
Lovers in the Desert
Okay, we love them. SO cute!

Married in Marfa!
We were so ready to be married, we rushed through everything and were texting people to come early :) We seriously could not wait.
There is much to be amazed by in the small town of Marfa, Texas. C + O took advantage of the wonders, oddities, and sights for the most marvelous day!
An Artful Ceremony
Let’s talk about this ceremony location. Is it not just utterly perfect?! Art lovers — take note.
Processional: Ceremony by New Order
Recessional: Ceremony by New Order
First Dance: Real Love Baby by Father John Misty (We danced in the kitchen of our AirBNB after we got home that night. So special.)
Wrong Place, Right Reception
Brews and cakes…can’t go wrong.
It is YOUR DAY — stay true to yourself. Decide what you want to focus on, whether it is celebrating with a big crowd or keeping it small and intimate, and shape what is important to you from there. Don't be afraid to make it funky.
Totally bomb. All our congrats to Cari + Oscar on your super rad wedding and all the adventures to come!

My baby (Cari) and her husband (Oscar) put together the strangest, but absolutely one of the most memorable weddings they possibly could have, with the help of their lovely family and friends. All the design work and arrangements were crafted themselves. They turned a little bit of effort into a whole lot of fun at the Wrong Place Store/Gallery in Marfa, Texas!
With Love,
Father of the Bride
Wow I love that there is so much color !
The best part about this wedding is their stationary art, but I didn’t see a mention of the artist. Can you share? Would love to support!
