Vineyards at Chapel Lodge

Blaire and Connor are some of the kindest and most genuine people I have had the pleasure of working with. and it was so fun getting to help this couple plan their dream wedding here in Austin! Blaire works in healthcare, so, with a time-consuming job, she allowed me to aid in the decisions that brought her vision to life. Blaire had her heart set on including magnolia leaves in her florals to resemble the trees in her grandmother’s yard growing up. Deer antlers adorned the tablescapes to highlight Connor’s love of hunting.

Along with these personalized elements, florals were a pinnacle design aspect for Blaire. We added 4 large-scale installations that required 2 full days of installation to ensure they would be the wow factor she envisioned. We spent numerous hours with Stems working on bringing our design to life, and it turned out gorgeous! The quadrant bar in the cocktail hour space with a suspended floral installation dripping down into the space was a floral masterpiece. Guests could not stop talking about this! 

Connor and Blaire know how to throw a party! Food was important to them, and they pulled out all of the stops, including an entire pig roasting station as well as a mac and cheese bar by Royal Fig Catering. On top of that, they had a donut truck come as their late-night snack. I can guarantee you their guests did not go home hungry! For Entertainment, we had In10city Band paired with a custom dance floor from Center Stage to compliment the fun, live music, and dancing that the night brought!

Getting to be a part of Connor and Blaire’s day was such an honor. Their love for each other is not only seen but felt by everyone around them. Blaire cried tears of joy when we did the reception reveal on the day of the wedding, being part of that momentous feeling for her is irreplaceable! This couple will forever hold a space in my heart, and I cannot wait to see all of the beautiful things ahead for them both!

XOXO,

Kelsey
