Tamar and Bruno’s Teal and Purple House on the Hill Wedding, Austin TX

November 22, 2014

Tamar and Bruno are one of those couples that have amazing comedic chemistry and that found each other from completely disparate countries – the UK and Brazil! As a 3D artist and gluten-free baker, Tamar really knew how to make her wedding look beautiful and personalized. They DIYed the entire thing, other than the officiant and photography. Tamar made the vegan cupcakes and their adorable displays, the bridesmaids’ hair accessories, and all the bouquets, and her mom made her wedding dress, the bridesmaids’ dresses, and a vest for Bruno! One of her bridesmaids made the beaded jewelry they all wore. It was all a labor of love and it turned out perfectly!

Tamar and her family are from the UK, and Bruno and his family are from Brazil. These two met at UT and while Bruno didn’t return to Brazil after graduating, Tamar returned to the UK. They stayed committed to one another despite the distance and after getting engaged, decided to settle down in Austin after their wedding. It was so amazing to see her family, in their colorful Indian attire, travel all the way here, as well as her closest friends. And Bruno’s family did the same, traveling all the way from Brazil.What an act of love! There was something about these families that made my heart burst. There was just an abundance of love and joy surrounding them at all times, and everyone was so open and welcoming and real.

As of today, Tamar and Bruno have been married for 4 months, so happy 4-monthaversary you two!

I hope you all delight in these people in all their teal and purple glory as much as I did, and be sure to leave a comment at the bottom of the post if you loved their wedding! I know I did.

Can you see the cultural melding in the DIY heart-shaped garland and through the window?house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0002 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0003

Tamar made these from scratch and they were delicious (yes, I admit I had to try one)! Tamar also designed and printed the labels for all the food, indicating if it was vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and any other allergy information. So creative and also very thoughtful!house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0004 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0005 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0006

It’s hard to ignore Tamar’s glorious hair. If you look at their engagement photos, you’ll see a different rainbow spectrum! As someone who recently added some colors to the tips of my hair, I have always been in love with bright, bold hair like this. This time Tamar dyed it to match the colors of her wedding (of course – how could it be any other way?). And isn’t she just stunningly beautiful?house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0007 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0008

Her mom made Tamar’s wedding dress and Tamar made the bouquet. Such a talented family!house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0009

Bruno looked dashing in his purple attire also!house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0010 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0011 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0012 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0013 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0014 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0015

During their adorable first look, Tamar presented Bruno with a vest that her mom had made for him to match Tamar’s dress!house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0016 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0017

Can’t you just feel all the love emanating from these families?house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0018 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0019 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0020 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0021 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0022 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0023 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0024 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0025 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0026 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0027 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0028 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0029 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0030 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0031 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0032 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0033 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0034 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0035 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0036

She is just so gorgeous!house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0037This was a really neat ceremony I hadn’t seen before where each family member came and placed a flower at Tamar and Bruno’s feet, which created the symbol of eternity. house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0038 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0039 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0040 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0041 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0042 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0043 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0044 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0046 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0047

This was amazing – Bruno’s parents kissed in celebration, and moments later Tamar’s parents kissed in celebration. 🙂house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0048 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0049 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0050

Their first dance was beautifully choreographed and I love that Tamar shed her jacket and put on some heels for this part!house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0073 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0074 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0075 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0076 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0077 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0078 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0079 house-on-the-hill-wedding-photos-teal-purple-wedding_0080
