March SCR Wedding: Black Cowboy Hat and Love at Sparrow Creek Ranch Venue
Ivey and Colton’s winter wedding at Sparrow Creek Ranch was full of details we love! The winter light is always the best of the year December through early March and these two brought the joy to their photos! This was a dream team of vendors too for a special 80 guest wedding!
Ivey & Colton’s Black Tie Ranch Wedding
If you thought a beautiful Texas ranch was only for cowboy boots and plaid, Ivey and Colton are here to call your bluff! They chose a black-tie feel for themselves, parents and wedding party — did all guests follow … no, but that’s ok! It might not be perfect but that’s how most weddings go! Forget the notion that elegant and authentic can't mix—these two proved that the classic beauty of a tuxedo, black felt cowboy hat and a stunning gown looks absolutely incredible against the backdrop of romantic, antique chandeliers and sprawling land.
This wedding is the ultimate permission slip for couples who love a little sophistication with their scenery. If you're looking for chic wedding inspiration that has plenty of polish without sacrificing the wide-open romance of the ranch, consider your new mood board officially set!
If you are looking for a ranch wedding but want the black tie vibe you can see it here! The classic white, black and greenery is a staple but never goes out of style!
The Magic of Early March Light: A Photographer's Dream
While many associate spring with late-season blooms, Ivey and Colton discovered the secret magic of an early March wedding at Sparrow Creek. The weather is typically wonderful—a refreshing break from harsh winter cold—but it is the light that truly makes this season special. Due to the unique angle of the sun at this time of year, the landscape is bathed in soft, ethereal beams that stream through the tree line, creating unforgettable atmosphere. This distinctive light results in portraits that possess a dramatic depth and clarity rarely seen later in the season. For couples prioritizing breathtaking, cinematic photography, the delicate sunbeams and golden light of early March provide an unmatched quality that is both romantic and deeply impactful.
Dog Friendly! Golden Retriever stealing the show!
Okay, but the absolute sweetest detail? Ivey and Colton's gorgeous golden retriever was basically the star of the show! It's such a vibe that Sparrow Creek Ranch is totally dog-friendly, because this sweet pup was everywhere. Not only did the dog nail the role of moral support during the "I dos"—making the ceremony a total tear-jerker—but he actually got in on the action on the dance floor!
Watching them celebrate with their dog included in every single moment, tail wagging like crazy, just melts your heart. If you're a couple who knows your wedding isn't complete without your furry best friend, this is your sign! Seriously, who needs a bouquet toss when you've got a golden retriever crashing the reception?
Dramatic Winter Landscape & Creekside Patio Wedding!
Golden Tones and Evergreen Depth
The backdrop provided by the Sparrow Creek Ranch landscape in early March delivers a rare and dramatic color palette that perfectly complemented the black-tie design. The Creekside Patio is our intimate outdoor ceremony space and was perfect for this 80 guest ceremony with all the winter tones!
MARCH! This seasonal setting offers the best of both worlds: the rich, deep greenery of evergreen trees provides structure and year-round vitality, while the extensive tall winter grasses infuse the scene with incredible depth and striking golden tones.
