This Cowtown Wedding Had a Beautiful Garden Conservatory Feel

Sarah McLaughlin & Kurt Hanson

June 22, 2024

After dating off and on at the University of Texas, Sarah McLaughlin and Kurt Hanson eventually went their separate ways. But it didn’t take long for the Texas Exes to find themselves back together after they both relocated to Dallas. Two and a half years later, Kurt asked for Sarah’s hand—but he didn’t bother asking where or when the big day would be. “I always knew I’d get married in the spring in Fort Worth,” Sarah says. The Cowtown native wanted the feeling of home—“something very personal and comfortable,” she says. Planner Caroline Fair knew just the place—The Crescent Hotel in Fort Worth—and the person to pull it off. “I connected her with Jackson Durham,” she says. “Leah Spillman really brought Sarah’s vision to life.”

Steppin’ Up

The celebration called for a personalized pair of boots by Marcio Garcia, a bootmaker based out of El Paso, Texas. “We are ranching people, so I love cowboy boots,” says Sarah. “And my new initials are kind of funny.”

Guests found their seat assignments on a wall bearing branches and blooms. 

Garden Variety

“In the tent, we hung Southern smilax vine to soften the structure and give it more of a garden conservatory feel,” says Jackson Durham’s Leah Spillman. A botanical-hued bar, landscape-inspired linens, and plentiful plants on the tables added to the vibe.
