The Bride Wore Oscar de la Renta—Then Changed Into Cowboy Boots—To Marry in Her Hometown of Dallas

Date:

Will felt similarly. “I was terrified, excited, and a bit overwhelmed,” he admits. “Our videography team put a microphone in my suit coat pocket, and I’m all but positive it only picked up my heart beating through my chest. We had an amazing priest and close family friend to the Millers, Father Tony, marry us, who helped keep me calm. Most importantly, though, I was with Rosemary, who was incredible during the ceremony. With her giggling, her smile, and her beautiful eyes, she did her best to help get me through what turned out to be incredible stage fright.”

After the ceremony, big hugs and shouts of excitement were exchanged, and guests were transported to the Rosewood Mansion via a quick five-minute shuttle ride for the reception. The bride and groom were dropped off separately to walk through the tent with their parents and Augusta prior to guests’ arrival. “It was amazing to say the least—I can certainly say my family was left speechless,” Will admits. “In retrospect, it was a nice moment to take in all the hundreds of small details and the final culmination of a years’ worth of planning before the space was filled with 200 guests.”

For the reception, the bride changed into a Danielle Frankel dress with a more fitted silhouette. “I chose the Stella dress, but added a custom lace overlay,” Rosemary says. “I wanted to create some softness to the very sexy back.”

The creative direction for the after-party that followed inside the mansion was: “a disco ball metallic crazy club moment.” “We went on a family trip to France last summer, and Le Bristol hotel’s chic lounge ‘Bristol After Dark’ inspired our own ‘Spiller After Dark,’” Rosemary explains. “We gave a nod to their neon signage with our own.” There was also a light-up dance floor, illuminated cowboy hats being passed around as fun party accessories, and DJ Souljah—and a collective sugar high—kept the party going all night. “I have a bit of a candy addiction,” Rosemary jokes. “I have a drawer in my kitchen devoted to candy. When I told Augusta that a candy bar was a non-negotiable, she really went for it. Colette and her team worked so hard on ‘Rosie’s Candy Drawer,’ and it was a huge hit at the after-party. Colette even surprised my mom and her friends with candy queen aprons, and it was the most thoughtful moment. My mom did not take off her apron for the rest of the night.”

Meanwhile, for the final look of the evening, the bride wanted to feel like she could be a cast member in Saturday Night Fever. To achieve this, she worked with Patricia Voto of One Of. “I didn’t want to give much direction, as Patricia is a true artist,” Rosemary says. “I think the best results come when you let her do her thing.” The final piece was more than I could have ever imagined.” Patricia used a vintage Miu Miu fabric as the base, and then added tons of colorful crystals to the bodice. A beaded fringe was added as well, which created a real impact on the dance floor. The bride’s friend Amy surprised her with custom Miron Crosby boots about a week before the wedding, and they complemented the look perfectly. “I was feeling myself in the boots and set,” Rosemary says. “I truly could not be stopped on the dance floor.”

    A handsome steakhouse night was only fitting for Will’s rehearsal dinner. I snuck in my love of mushrooms on the table and on the menu.
