If you’ve got Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter on repeat like we do, this one’s for you.
This “Cowboy Chic Meets Metallic Glam” editorial shoot from planner + event designer Madlyn of MadLove Events is a contemporary country design dream. Madlyn assembled a team of creative TX-based vendors to bring her sleek + shimmery vision to life and to highlight the elevated western vibes of Dove Hollow Estate, the Longview, Texas venue that Madlyn + her sister Natalie designed with the goal of creating a versatile space that speaks to both modern + rustic wedding aesthetics.
Metallic silver and gold accents gave the shoot its shine. The largely black + white color palette was pure sophistications, and pops of burnt orange and rust added depth + warmth. Madlyn said it best when she called the shoot a “fresh take on western romance,” and pictures from photographer Waking Starlight captured every dazzling design detail.
We can’t wait to show you!
Alexa, play “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM.”
