In the heart of Austin, where the eclectic vibe of the city meets Southern charm, Kiki and Ben embarked on a journey that would culminate in a celebration as timeless as their love. Against the picturesque backdrop of Mattie’s at Green Pastures, their wedding unfolded as a day filled with timeless elegance, bespoke details, and an unmistakable sense of romance that lingered in the air throughout this enchanting occasion.

Ben and Kiki’s journey began while attending their respective friend’s bachelor and bachelorette parties, where fate intervened and brought them together. The proposal, however, was nothing short of magical. Ben chose the iconic El Arroyo sign as the backdrop for his declaration of love, setting the stage for a wedding that would be equally captivating.

The front porch of Mattie’s served as the picturesque setting for the ceremony. A white floral-lined aisle led the couple up the front steps, creating a breathtaking backdrop against the columns which were adorned with an abundance of elegant white florals and greenery. A string trio played during the ceremony and cocktail hour, setting the tone for the romantic affair.

From the florals to the rentals, every detail of Kiki and Ben’s wedding was carefully curated to embody the timeless elegance they envisioned. Hand-rolled cigars with custom monogram labels added a personal touch, creating a unique experience for their guests. The peacocks that roamed the property lent an air of regality to the occasion, complementing the classic black-and-white theme that defined the day.

Austin’s vibrant spirit was woven into the celebration, with a seating chart featuring custom sketches of iconic figures from the city. It was a nod to the city where they will build their life together, making the wedding a true reflection of the couple and their journey.

The couple and their guests dined al fresco, surrounded by beautifully decorated tents adorned with greenery and twinkling lights. The atmosphere was nothing short of magical as the night unfolded, creating the perfect backdrop for an evening filled with love and laughter.

As the sun set, the celebration continued with a live band that kept the energy high and the dance floor alive. The night culminated in a pedicab send-off, a whimsical touch that perfectly encapsulated the joy and love shared by Kiki and Ben and their closest friends and family.

Kiki and Ben’s wedding at Mattie’s was a celebration of love and laughter and was filled with countless memorable moments. The black and white theme, coupled with personalized details and Austin-inspired touches, made for a day that will forever be etched in the hearts of all who attended.
