Cotton and Malone Wedding at Cochino Lodge

  

December 18, 2011

A Sunday Wedding
2:00 PM

At Cochino Lodge

Amanda Cotton and Nick Malone were wed in Mid-December

The location was over the river and through the woods.  Early morning fog hovered over the landscape and water.  It was just beautiful.  The trees were magnificant copper,golden,

deep purple, red-orage,  and bronze against a background of tall green pine trees. 

The feel was elegant and polished eastern Texas glistening silver along with all the jewel colors of autumn.

The feel was crisp and cool yet the sun was shining and there was no moisture the day of the wedding.

It was a perfect day.  The Lodge was in full decor of the bride's chosen colors that mirrored the outdoors.

It was cozy inside with the wonderful aroma of candles wafting throughout with soft lighting and several tables of delicious beverages and sweets.



 A beautiful and stunning bride






So very Pretty






I love the bridal head piece and her smile.



Waiting at Casa Verde for the Wedding to begin










The groom was adorable and so
handsome and polite...he waited in the Lobby of Cochino Lodge
for the wedding to begin.





The bouquet of flowers and jewels was right in step with
the other decor that sparkled and  was so elegant

The Bride and her dad, Reggie Cotton

Under the Mossy arch

Onward on the flagstone to the ceremony

Father and Daughter one last look at his daughter as a single girl. 

Reggie Cotton and his son

Reggie Cotton cut the huge Cypres flower holders that flanked

each side of the seating. These were timbers from the Trinity River Bottom.  So very appropriate with the

rustic arch.   He almost needed a forklift to move them in place.

All of the Bride's Maids so very pretty

Parents of the Bride ..Jane and Reggie

Good Looking couple

Very Pretty Mother of the Bride and close relative

Mother of the Bride and the handsome Groom

Mother of the Groom so very pretty, vivatious and interesting.

The Cakes were so very pretty  as well as the Cake table.

Cakes by "The Lunch Box" in Lufkin

Really pretty and delicious

Del Rio Catered the Mid Day Rehersal Luncheon on Saturday. Great Food and the attendent did all the work.

Wonderful arch decorated with greenery and stunning flowers.

Just Married

A great hug right after the ceremony

During the Ceremony with the lake in the background

Those huge Cypress that Reggie Cotton brought from the Trinity River Bottom Land were hollowed slightly

so that flowers could be anchored on the top. Great Idea. AND THESE WERE LEFT FOR FUTURE

BRIDES TO USE....SO THANK YOU GOES TO THE COTTON FAMILY.

The Bride's Mother, Jane, made the white branched decor from small sweetgum trees, so inventive. It looked so festive. 

Arch Flowers

A Cochino Arch that changes looks with each Bride. Very Versitle.

Bench seating with the colorful trees in the background.

This is what it looked like December 18, 2011

Jane Cotton's white branch decor mirrored that of the Cypress flower bases

The magic bottle tree of  Cochino, caught the bad weather before it reached

Cochino. The weather of the wedding day could not have been better. Just perfect.

Afternoon Coffee and Sweets, just after the  2 PM Wedding was a welcome treat.

Elegance
