Design Highlights: Curating a Luxury Experience

By limiting the guest count, the couple transformed the space into an immersive dining experience:

Ceremony: Lush, monochromatic white and green florals framed the indoor space, keeping the focus on the architecture and the couple’s vows.

  • Reception: A bespoke serpentine table allowed for fluid conversation. The table featured a cascading runner of white florals, taper candles, and fresh pear fruit accents dusted with pearls—a thoughtful nod to the bride’s hair accessories.
  • Ambiance: Outdoor sheer drapery and warm twinkle lights turned the evening into an elegant, private dinner party under the Texas stars.
