New York Meets Texas Wedding at Barr Mansion

This weekend saw an influx of East Coasters arrive into Texas for a big wedding we’ve been working on for over a year. We did our best at channeling “East Coast Elegance” [for lack of a better phrase] while still grounding it in Texas, so to speak. We brought our big guns to Barr Mansion and ended up with a forest of oak trees that looked stunning once night fell and all the suspended votives were lit up. Who knew a New York meet Texas wedding would work so beautifully?

The set-up and breakdown were another story. 100lb+ vases filled with water? Let’s say everyone was pretty sore. We’ve also moved into another phase with our first storage unit. I’m pretty sure it won’t be our last.

As big art patrons and collectors, J&S came to us looking for guidance on where their wedding celebration ought to take place. Considering spots […]
