Avery Hall & O’Neill Dewey
September 30, 2023
Avery Hall was moving into her first New York apartment—waiting for a bed to be delivered, to be exact—when she decided to take a break and pop in to a friend’s party down the street. Lo and behold, her future husband, O’Neill Dewey, was waiting there to meet her. The pair built a friendship over the next several months before he formally asked her on a date to the Waverly Inn, a location that would later serve as inspiration for their Dallas wedding in September 2023. “They have a back garden atrium with green trim and brick and ivy,” Avery recalls. “We wanted to feel special and for it to be fun.”—Sarah Bennett
“We wanted it to feel like September—still warm and fresh but not too springy,” says Avery of the invitation suite, created by pal Carly Anbouba of Carly Creative Co. A perfect combination of blue, green, and yellow achieved the look.
An hour into dancing, Avery changed into her reception dress, completing the look with Miron Crosby boots to match the Texas elements surrounding the dance floor. The couple provided a custom bandana embroiderer and a cigar roller to keep the party going.
