Carly Gaines and Javier Zablah’s Romantic, Vintage Celebration

Javier Zablah

August 28, 2020

Carly Gaines and Javier Zablah’s intended celebration of more than 150 international and local guests overlooking the Dallas skyline was reimagined amid the pandemic into an intimate affair for 30 at the Mason. The venue held true to the bride’s original vision with its jewel tones and historic charm, and brought together the couple’s closest loved ones for a ceremony decked in deep reds, greens, and birchwood followed by a cozy reception at their Lakewood home. “Before the pandemic, I was pretty stressed about the big original wedding and focused on little things like the perfect cocktail napkins,” Carly recalls. “But COVID reset us both mentally. We were just excited to get married and realized we could do it anywhere. Despite all the odds, we woke up after our wedding day feeling so loved.”
