Gone Fishing | Texas Coast Venue Hunt

Texas Coast Venue Hunt // The Nouveau Romantics // Austin Wedding Planning and Event Design StudioWe’re back from a long weekend on the Southeast Texas coast down in Port Aransas and Rockport scouting for some seaside venues for a spring 2014 wedding. The couple grew up in the area, which means we couldn’t go fifteen feet without bumping into an old friend! The ceremony is also slated for the same church the groom’s parents were married in which couldn’t be sweeter.

(Which were so delicious, by the way.)

Ten minutes outside downtown Boulder, this privately owned Mediterranean-style estate has been shaped by hand over more than two decades. It doesn’t feel like a venue. It feels like somewhere someone actually lives and loves. I’m Liz, the […]
