Kendra + Shaquille | A Purple, Mauve and Gold Rustic Chic Summer Wedding at the Chandelier Of Gruene | New Braunfels, San Antonio Texas

Today I am so excited to share Kendra & Shaquille’s gorgeous summer wedding at The Chandelier of Gruene! With purple, mauve and gold accents, the design was the perfect combination of rustic, chic and elegant.

I will never forget when I first met with Kendra and Shaquille and Kendra was telling me all about her wedding vision…”FLOWERS!!! I just want them EVERYWHERE!” she said with her larger-than-life laugh…And I knew right then and there that I SO wanted to be a part of this beautiful day!

Not only was their wedding day GORGEOUS (as all weddings planned by Helayne with The Road To Marriage are!), but Kendra and Shaquille are the sweetest people with the sweetest love for each other (just scroll down to see how Shaquille looks at Kendra during the ceremony and you’ll know what I mean!).

And this day was as magical and fun and joyful and BEAUTIFUL as anyone could have hoped for.

Kendra and Shaquille’s wedding day my friends…enjoy!
