Their Story
After a courtship in New York City, Emma Brode and Chris James began to crave a slower lifestyle and moved South to his hometown
of Austin, Texas. Following a Christmas Eve proposal, the pair began to plan their fun, vintage-inspired Lone Star nuptials
with the help of creative friends and family. “When I started planning the wedding, I knew we didn’t have a lot of money to
spend, but I wanted as many creative details as possible,” says Emma, who made her own bridal gown and designed all of the
paper goods and invitations herself. “The wedding ended up being an eclectic mix of everything we love: the old West, Mexico,
succulents, vintage ephemera, moss, Liberty of London florals, Colby—our French bulldog—and, of course, humor!”
