The Love Story: From Art Class to the Louvre

Lindsay and Cyril first met in 2018 at The Art Institute of Dallas. As fate wove their paths together in the same class, Lindsay seized the moment, asking for both the homework and his number. What began as a casual connection blossomed into a profound bond, making them inseparable ever since. Their love story reached a breathtaking climax when Cyril proposed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, just before dinner. “It was a complete surprise,” Lindsay recalls. With the City of Light framing their joyous moment, it became a proposal worthy of a romance novel. This was a beautiful beginning to their Parisian-inspired celebration.

The Venue: The Hillside Estate in Crossroads, Texas

With its European-style architecture, grand white exteriors, and rolling hills, The Hillside Estate offered the ideal setting for a romantic, high-end black-tie affair. Located just outside of Dallas in Crossroads, TX, the estate brings French elegance to the heart of Texas. This Hillside Estate Wedding captured the essence of elegance perfectly.

From its majestic ceremony space to the soaring ceilings of the reception hall, every corner of the venue echoed the couple’s vision. They wanted a wedding that felt luxurious, intimate, and unmistakably European.

Lindsay was the picture of grace and beauty in a Lulus bridal gown. It featured elegant lace sleeves and a silhouette that was both classic and fashion-forward. Her bridal look exuded effortless Parisian charm, perfect for the château-inspired venue at this Hillside Estate Wedding.

Her bridesmaids wore dusty rose dresses, a soft and romantic contrast to the black-tie styling. This brought a touch of warmth and femininity to the day’s palette.
