THEIR STORYBRIDE Stephanie Artzi, 38, a reading specialist at Andrews Elementary School GROOM Sean Fern, 30, a PhD student at University of Texas HOW THEY MET On JDate.com WEDDING STYLE Organic whites and grays let the abundance of fresh greenery take center stage at Stephanie and Sean’s garden affair.
“We fell in love with Barr Mansion the moment we saw it,” recalls Stephanie. “It had a beautiful outdoor garden for the ceremony and a rustic indoor hall for the reception.” The bridesmaids carried natural, low-key arrangements of roses, astilbes, snowberries, silver brunia, ranunculus and leaves.

Stephanie let her five bridesmaids choose their own black dresses. “I love the mismatched look and I wanted each of them to feel beautiful,” she says.
