Romantic Fall Wedding Inspiration // The Wild Onion Ranch

 We’re up on Style Me Pretty Texas today, with Elena and Andrew’s romantic fall wedding from last November at The Wild Onion Ranch just south of Austin. It was almost the venue that I got married at back in 2010, so I was pretty jazzed to return. Elena was a collaborative force that came to us looking for a more refined vision—ranges of pinks, a love of gold, and a fierce adoration of turquoise. We toned down the latter into a more “peacock blue” palette, but let all the luscious November florals shine in their pink and peach-toned glory, a stationery set that used gold foil everywhere [be still my heart!], and sweet little details that took a feminine palette and added a little sophistication, a little more fall. It goes to show you that you don’t have to revert to the tried and true for the fall, and that even spring tones look great with the right twist!
