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 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.

When we received word that the mother of the groom was set on using The Adolphus Hotel in Dallas as the scene for the welcome dinner for guests of C & C’s late January wedding, we were beyond excited. We’ve been huge fans of the elegant, light-filled 19th Floor Ballroom (also known as The Governor’s […]

As one of the first and often most important decisions, your venue sets the tone for both your wedding as well as your to-do list for your planning journey.
