We love it when a bride lets her sweet tooth shine. One look at this wedding's collection of confections, and it's easy to see bride Brittany did just that. With four wedding cakes and stacks of Brazilian sweets, Brittany and Rolf used their dessert table as a way to blend family traditions with their personal style.

The couple’s Big Day seamlessly melded high-end touches with relaxed décor that allowed the natural Texas countryside to take center stage. Scroll on to swoon over their sweet-filled Houston affair beautifully captured by Kati Hewitt Photography.
