Autumn Wedding at Clark Gardens

The Wedding Of : The Aguirres

An Autumn Solar Eclipse Garden Wedding

A wedding isn’t just a celebration; it’s a story woven into the fabric of generations, a memory passed down like an heirloom. For Rachel and Orlando, their once-in-a-lifetime celebration came with a surprise twist — their wedding coincided with a solar eclipse! Talk about cosmic romance setting the stage for their stunning autumn wedding at Clark Gardens in Weatherford, Texas.

Getting Ready for the Cosmic Connection

We kicked off the day in cozy Clark Gardens cottages, surrounded by the crisp embrace of autumn. Pajamas, hugs, and a mimosa or two set the tone. Rachel and her squad, armed with solar eclipse glasses, headed to the rehearsal. I hitched a ride in the “trunk” for a photo-worthy journey.

Amidst the ceremony run-through, they didn’t just rehearse vows but also witnessed the celestial spectacle together. Walking back to the car, the crescent moon-shaped light filtering through the trees added a magical touch.

Post-rehearsal, the vibe remained relaxed. Orlando and his groomsmen strolled the gardens, shared lunch, and suited up. The ladies returned to the bridal cottage for lunch, laughter, and prep. Zero stress, thanks to a dream vendor team handling every detail. Rachel and Orlando could just kick back and savor the moment.

The Enchanting Ceremony

The garden transformed into a magical aisle, adorned with flowers, bathed in the golden hour’s glow. Perfection. Their multicultural ceremony seamlessly wove elements from their heritages, spoken in both English and Spanish. The Lasso Ceremony, the exchange of rings, and the first kiss — every moment radiated love.

Let the Party Begin!

Onto the epic reception beneath the outdoor tent, brimming with floral arrangements, drapery, and loved ones. First dance, check. A private dinner near the garden waterfall allowed Rachel and Orlando a quiet moment before diving into the festivities. Dads shared love and wisdom in toasts, the cake was cut, and the dance floor opened.

Grateful to be part of The Aguirres’ story, we eagerly await the next chapters of their journey.


Cheers to Rachel & Orlando!
