Beauty & The Beast: A Fairy Tale Wedding Theme at D6 Retreat

3/19/2017

The remake of the Disney classic Beauty & The Beast was just released in theaters on Friday & we thought now would be the perfect time to share the recent photo shoot from D6 Retreat portraying a similar romantic theme. Our D6 Retreat Chapel was transformed into a classic set with fireplace, table setting & romantic chandelier. Take a look at some of our favorite shots below...

The contrast of the deep reds against the natural background of greens and blues makes for quite a dramatic scene. The designer was able to show the diversity of the chameleon-like chapel which is perfect for an array of design possibilities.

Blacks, golds & deep reds adorn the dramatic table setting under the open chapel. A rose is placed under each wine glass as a simple yet elegant way to add depth and interest to each place setting.

This simple yet dramatic cake shows the contrast of the environment with natural flowers, a white wood grained center tier (mirroring the D6 chapel) & deep reds of the table settings.

As we honor the women around the world for International Women's Day, we honor our very own Tara Donahue, Co-founder/Owner and Executive Dreamer of D6 Retreat!

An entrepreneur from a very young age, before even knowing the meaning of the word, Tara would often create businesses in elementary school selling pencils or games she would create. If she saw a need, Tara would do her best to create a business to fill that need.

After owning several vacation rentals, Tara saw a need for a mix between a vacation rental home and a hotel so the search began for land to build such a vision. After hiking the beautiful 23 acres that is now D6 Retreat, Tara immediately fell in love and dreamed about it for weeks. The vision of D6 Retreat soon became a beautiful reality.

D6 has been about taking a breath of fresh air, having an adventure, and doing something off of the beaten path from the very beginning. Tara says, "when traveling with the children, it's nice to stay a place that is different from the norm, allows for new adventures yet still feels like home. We love that many of our guests have found this to be true during their visit to D6 Retreat as well."

As D6 Retreat continues to expand and flourish in The Wedding Capital of Texas, Tara states, "the most amazing part of owning D6 Retreat has been the vast opportunities of seeing family reunions, weddings, proposals and many special moments for people that happen on this special piece of paradise in Dripping Springs. I love hearing the experiences of what our guests found special about D6 Retreat during their stay with us."

The success of D6 Retreat has not been without the support of family, friends and fellow vendors we like to call our "friendors". We have been amazed by the awesome network of small business owners that we have had the pleasure of working along side. Tara adds, "I am so grateful to have met so many other strong, courageous and passionate women running their own businesses."

D6 Retreat recognizes the hard working women of the world finding balance between family, work, and themselves. We honor your passion for life and your strength to never give up. Thank you to all the women of the world; each of us makes this world that much more beautiful!
