A Real Hi-Fi Wedding: Skylar & Matthieu’s Herman Hall Happiness
Hermann Hall was a natural place for Skylar and Matthieu to get married since her parents have been bringing her and her sister here for years to watch the swing dancing! The couple met in San Francisco but had their ceremony in Dallas. Skylar’s Mom took care of the decorations – her inspiration for their bohemian decor came from local thrift stores and their vintage Kilim rugs from home. For the ceremony backdrop, they used a thrifted screen draped with vintage saris from India and tied them to chairs, dotted with Daisies! Skylar and Matthieu gave their guests a California inspired music mix! With a blending of their Dutch and French Heritages – the reception was a FUN dance party!

Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging
on blogs I stumbleupon every day. It will always be interesting to read through
articles from other writers and practice something from their web sites.
