Sending Our Love is a tribute to our wartime heroes who left their girlfriends, fiancées, or wives at home to fight from the skies, on land, or sea during War World II.
Hideout on the Horseshoe was the perfect venue for this styled shoot which was inspired by all the ways a bride might send her love during the 40’s when our country was at war.
Telegrams, letters, postcards and flowers are several of the ways our bride and groom share their love with you.

If you look closely, you will see our favorite thing about this dress from Fiancee Bridal Boutique in Boerne, Texas. The small Swiss polka dots on the soft tulle overlaying the skirt give such an alluring and romantic vibe. The A-line gown features illusion shoulder straps and a V neckline. The delicate floral appliques have a subtle sparkle that catches the eye. Romance is in the air in this classic gown!

River City Catering designed the perfect menu for our event. Delectable hors d’oeuvres, open-faced tea sandwiches and deviled eggs with bacon, were served. A scrumptious meatloaf, au gratin potatoes, and haricots verts did not disappoint as the main course.
