Colleen and Dylan’s Juniper Preserve Wedding

January 10, 2023

Trying to get married during COVID isn’t for the faint hearted. Colleen and Dylan had planned to get married in summer of 2020, but had to reschedule to 2021. The best part of that for us was getting extra time to get to know them. I (Caitlin) especially loved getting to know Colleen who is one of the warmest brides I’ve ever worked with. Over the 2 years of planning we got to talk about so many things, family, social justice and life in her beautiful hometown of New Orleans- a place I’ve never been to, but have always wanted to visit.

By the time this blog post comes out, Colleen and Dylan will have become parents, and it’s been really fun following their journey into parenthood. It’s by far our favorite part of this job to be able to cheer on our couples as they go on new adventures together in life.

Now for the deets of this wedding, which was SO BEAUTIFUL. Colleen and Dylan were married at Pronghorn Resort which is famous for its cave, where they decided to have their ceremony. It was so beautiful! Summer Robbins Flowers went above and beyond to make their floral dreams come true and it was STUNNING.

The reception was held on the clubhouse lawn under the most beautiful tent! Every detail of this wedding was flawless- including Colleen’s bridal look which I am still obsessed with to this day.

We hope you enjoy this little look at a very special, long-awaited day for Colleen and Dylan.
