 Beautiful outdoor Jewish wedding of Mica, an otolaryngologist, and Gabriel, a general surgeon at Texas Discovery Gardens and the butterfly house    They got married at the Texas Discovery Gardens and Butterfly House! The tish and bedeken setup was absolutely amazing here!  The ceremony was on a beautiful lawn with trees on both sides and a fountain at the back. The reception was in a lovely room made mainly of windows and the bars and food were all hosted outside in the gardens. String lights to welcome those into the garden as well!  ‘Ahava’ was a big part of Mica and Gabriel's theme as were proteas and butterflies.  The protea was special to them because of Gabriel’s roots from South Africa – they were in all the bouquets and all along the Chuppah. They had the Bedeken in a butterfly garden.  They had 8 lovely bridesmaids dressed in Charcoal. Florist and Decorator  Alpha Events and Decor selected color combinations so precisel...
