A very beautiful barn-rustic wedding shoot

Since I moved to the Dallas, I have participated in so many styled shoots but it appears none of them ever made to my social media, much less my blog. I have a folder in my Dropbox named “Texas Shoots” in which I have been adding the albums sent over by the photographers and looking at them is a great feeling! So in the next few posts, I will be posting the pretty outcomes of the collaborations I did with many of the talented vendors – starting this lovely capture in a beautiful venue by a team or amazing photographers – Sierra Matteson from Sierra Summer Photo & Film and Olivia Friesen from Copper Curls Photography!

Something about the venue: In my research to acclimate myself with the new market I have gotten in {Dallas+Metroplex} Firefly Gardens has been the first one probably that came up on the feed. This instantly stunning structure of the venue is jut so beautiful and perfect for serene lovely weddings. I am happy one of the first few collaborations included a shoot among the charms it encompasses! A family owned business, it is an all-white building with hints of rustic elements that effuse warmth needed to make memories on happy occasions with your loved ones! If you are looking for a soiree space that is dreamy and has a romantic barn feel, this is the one!

About Author

Hi and welcome to my blog!

My name is Riffat and I am the writer behind this blog. Through this blog I share many things I am enthusiastic about – my curated items from old era, passion for tea and tea parties, book reviews, glimpse into my occasional travels, some design and décor, DIY projects. I specifically like to create themed and seasonal parties incorporating vintage treasures.

I am mother of 3 amazing boys – the oldest is neuro-diverse and his being on the spectrum has given a different and incredible meaning to our family! I would be a very different person without him. Besides enjoying my family and this blog, I am a full-time speech and language pathologist.

After living in the sunny Arizona for almost 14 years, my husband and I moved the family to Frisco, TX few year back! In 2009, when vintage china and tea parties were gaining popularity, I ventured into the world of event rentals, offering my eclectic garage-full collection for vintage-themed gatherings - tea parties, weddings, showers and other private and business events. I had the pleasure of working with some amazing vendors in the event industry and got featured on many international and national blogs. While my initial focus was on the rental business, I eventually shifted gears to lifestyle blogging to encompass a broader spectrum of life's facets. In 2020, bidding farewell to the rental business, I returned to my primary profession. The transition prompted a hiatus from blogging, but now, with a semblance of balance restored (or perhaps just better time management skills acquired), I'm rediscovering the joy of penning down my thoughts.

Originally from Pakistan, I am a multicultural and multilingual person and enjoy diversity to its fullest. I welcome new things and ways and learn from them but believe in restoring and preserving as well. I love people who inspire each other, are successful holistically, spread positive vibes and make a difference in this world for themselves and individuals around them. Overall, I strive to be a very well-balanced person and this blog plays some part in achieving that!

I absolutely love to team up with creative minds! Feel free to contact me for collaboration ideas, guest blogging opportunities or any other fun idea!
