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.
