Read about Lyndsay and Russell’s story and how they came to celebrate their wedding day at The Bell Tower on 34th.

Lyndsay and Russell met at a hotel in Houston which they both happened to be staying at on business trips. Lyndsay had been living in Denver, Colorado at the time and Russell lived in Corpus Christi, Texas.
They struck up a conversation at the hotel restaurant and bar, and months later began a long distance relationship. Eventually, their relationship had grown to the point that Lyndsay moved to Texas to be with him.

Russell had a grand plan to propose to the love of his life.
He took Lyndsay to Enchanted Rock in Fredericksburg, TX a huge, beautiful rock formation in a state park. “He woke me up before sunset one morning and we hiked to the top of it. Once we got there, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! We were the only people in sight and had the beautiful Texas scenery in the background. It was so special and romantic!”

As they searched for the perfect wedding venue in Houston, they discovered The Bell Tower on 34th. “We knew minutes after being at the Bell Tower that we would get married there. The venue is so unique and has beautiful architecture. It took us to a different time and place. We forgot we were in the middle of one of the largest cities in the United States! It had everything we needed including a romantic chapel to be married in, a beautiful water wall and courtyard to have a cocktail party at and a stunning, large ballroom that made us feel like a king and queen. We knew it would make an impression for our guests and give them a great experience and we were right. We have had such great compliments on it!”

The morning of her wedding day, Lyndsay had been full of emotions. With so much going on, things had become a little stressful. She felt nervous and anxious prior to walking down the aisle. But then her eyes fell on her groom!   “When I first saw Russell at the altar, I felt completely at ease. I felt like I was home. I knew I was walking toward someone I would spend the rest of my life with, and I felt so comfortable with our decision to marry. I was excited and tried to take everything in.”

The pastor had asked the couple to write their own vows to one another. During the ceremony, the pastor read them aloud. Lyndsay was deeply moved by what Russell had written. “Hearing Russell’s promises to me were so special and romantic!”

During their wedding reception at The Bell Tower on 34th, Lyndsay and Russell described how they were feeling. “There is so much work and stress involved in planning a wedding. After the ceremony, we felt like we could finally relax and enjoy the rest of the night! It was great knowing we were officially married and that we had our closest family and friends to celebrate with for the remainder of the night. It was also amazing to see how the room came together- the flowers, cake, decor, linens, lighting, etc. You have a vision when planning a wedding but seeing it all together on the big day was so impactful.”

Flowers: Weddings In Bloom by Pat Hermes “I wanted the flowers for our ceremony to be soft and romantic, so we had light peach and ivory arrangements made with hydrangeas, roses, and other seasonal flowers. The flowers for our reception were more vibrant and included pink, peach and gold roses and hydrangeas. The arrangements had hanging crystals and along with the candlelight from around the room, it created a beautifully romantic and feminine look!”

Honeymoon destination: St. Lucia. An island in the Caribbean.

Most importantly, consider taking the advice of those who have been where you are going. The newlyweds, Lyndsay and Russell, encourage future brides and grooms: Never lose sight of the real importance of your wedding. Ultimately, you are vowing to spend the rest of your life with the person you love. Of course, it is important to create a beautiful experience for both your guests and yourself to remember for years to come, but try not to get too wrapped up and distracted with the details. Enjoy the experience, take it day by day and try not to sweat the small stuff. It goes by so fast and at the end of the day, you will accomplish your main goal- marrying the person of your dreams!
