Where do I begin!!! This blog has taken me FOREVER to post, so I hope I get lots and lots of comments
This has to be one of my most favorite weddings I’ve EVER been apart of. I knew I’d love this couple the moment I met them. We had so much fun on their engagements and on Kristi’s Houston bridals, I just KNEW their wedding would be a blast. And I was definably NOT disappointed. I’ll apologize in advance for the abundance of pictures on this post. If it takes a while to load I’M SORRY. I just couldn’t narrow it down ANY MORE!! It was necessary to have this many pictures in order to properly show you how unbelieveably AWESOME Kristi and Chad are![]()


Kristi’s flowers were OFFICIALLY my favorite flowers of all time.











Kristi took over the reins of my job for a minute![]()



Now it’s time to get into that GORGEOUS dress!


No crying YET!!!

The flower girl was SO EXCITED to see that she had a matching bouquet like Kristi’s!

Really? Does it GET HOTTER then these girls!!! I hope to have several POTENTIAL CLIENTS here
hint hint girls![]()

Now time to make it official!

Unfortunately I had to stay put in the balcony the entire ceremony. But it ended up be A.O.K. cause I pretty much had the best seat in the house!

The ceremony was filled with lots of laughter and love.



Mr. and Mrs. Dubois!!!


Amidst all the craziness that IS FORMALS, Kristi and Chad couldn’t keep their eyes off each other![]()

I just had to post this. These guys posed themselves and were SO PROUD that I had to use them as an example of the girls for how to stand![]()

Family formals J.HICKS style![]()



If Kristi and Chad were not already hanging on a canvas in my office from their engagement session, I’d ABSOLUTELY be ordering this…..who knows, maybe I still will![]()



I can’t even begin to describe how BEAUTIFUL I think Kristi looks here. I can’t wait for these two to have babies!








JAG tore up the party. They were SO AMAZING. I’m going to try to find out their website so I can recommend them to EVERYONE!



They didn’t just dance, they DANCED!!!




Kristi and her daddy before things got a little WILD.


These two actually choreographed a DANCE.

Chad and his momma.






LOVE love love them!

Seriously, does it GET any cuter?









Is it weird that I STILL after all this time get a little teary when I see my photos framed at receptions. Call me crazy or corny. I dunno, it just reminds me how much I LOVE what I do.





These girls WERE SERIOUS about that bouquet


It just totally cracks me up when guys DUCK when the garter comes their way





Kristi and her dad were unbelievable dancers. They kept it goin allll night~!

Second wedding to have a mashed potato bar. SERIOUSLY ever wedding should have a mashed potato bar!!!




This is towards the END of the reception. I TOLD YOU Jag kept that party going ALL NIGHT LONG!


Now Kristi….about that painting…..![]()

omg they are so good!!!! you are amazing!!!!
So I got onto facebook and saw — “NEW POST BY JHICKS”. I was torn. You and another site are my “cherry on top” right before bed. So I can dream IN COLOR! ha ha. But tonight I’m busily BOOKED up! (the hubs reserved me for the night ha ha) and so I was like…CRAPPPPPPPPPPPPP! Cause I was like should I just wait for TOMORROW night? But the lil “taste” you gave was too tempting (kinda think like Joes Party House cupcakes…ha ha) And I came. I’m so glad I did. Cause THIS blog was WELL worth it. First the wedding looked/looks AMAZING. Kinda something Id have never thought to do,but when I DO renew my vows,will keep THIS wedding in mind for sure. The flowers and arrangements are AMAZING. I love her bouquet to pieces. The dancing — FAB! I love how I felt like I was THERE?!! I must say the reception (hall?) is super awesome. Every time you take a pic there,its awesome. (could that just be because you ARE awesome tho?) ANYWAYS I have to add that my momma and I BOTH think the husband is very…yummy
And thanks…even tho your not my “right before bed cherry on top” you’ve given me something to dream about
Congrats to not only you but the LUCKY bride & groom!
