A Thousand Years and Counting: Alyssa and Mason Hawkin’s Magical December Wedding
There are countless ways that a great love story can begin. For Alyssa and Mason Hawkin’s, it all started with the twinkling nostalgia of the Brazoria County Fair—ferris wheels, bumper cars, and the kind of magic only small-town gatherings can conjure. The night their paths crossed, Mason left fully under Alyssa’s spell, knowing that what had begun in the glow of carnival lights was something special.
Fast forward to December 7th, 2024, and that spark had grown into a flame of unconditional love that lit up their wedding day—a day filled with romance, joy, and a touch of Something Blue magic.
A Gown Fit for Our Fashion Director
Alyssa, our very own Fashion Director at Something Blue Bridal Boutique in Houston, Texas, certainly knows a thing or two about style. Her wedding day look was no exception to this fact. With intricate lace sleeves and a silhouette that made jaws drop, she was the epitome of bridal radiance. Alyssa manifested “Happily Ever After” with the classic phrase embroidered on the luxurious tulle of the cathedral length veil that trailed behind her. Stephanie Pham added the finishing touch, creating a makeup look that was both timeless and elegant—Alyssa’s beauty, inside and out, shining through.
The Big Day: Heartstrings and Dance Floors
Every great love story has its soundtrack, and Alyssa and Mason’s was no different. Alyssa walked down the aisle to A Thousand Years, played on piano by her close friend and Something Blue’s very own manager, Connie Gajewsky. This deeply personal moment was a testament to the close-knit family we’ve built at Something Blue.
Their first dance? Vince Gill’s "Whenever You Come Around." It was intimate, heartfelt, and one of those moments that remind you why weddings are so special.
Of course, no celebration is complete without a killer playlist. DJ Ivan kept the dance floor packed, ensuring everyone—young, old, and in-between—felt the love and energy in the room.
Capturing the Magic
Weddings are fleeting, but the memories last forever—especially when you have Kasey Tomlinson behind the lens. Known for her moody, evocative photography, Kasey captured every laugh, tear, and stolen glance. And thanks to Eventsmith Productions, Alyssa and Mason have a cinematic keepsake of their day to relive whenever nostalgia calls.
From the Fair to Forever
Alyssa and Mason’s love story reminds us that the best things in life can find you anywhere. From their fairground beginnings to a wedding day that felt straight out of a movie, their journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.
At Something Blue, we’re beyond honored to have been part of Alyssa’s big day—not just as her bridal boutique, but as her work family.
Here’s to Alyssa and Mason, proof that love really is the ride of a lifetime.
