Hailey & Christian came to our team with a little over 4 months to pull together their perfect day. Finding a venue that would fit the couple’s edgy modern style proved to be a bit difficult because of our short time frame. That was until we thought of the PERFECT venue that many don’t know about in the Fort. The Botanical Institute of Texas next to the gardens can be rented for private events. With great architectural lines and overgrown greenery walls, it has a similar feel to the Modern or the TRAC in Dallas. With a fabulous team and creative concept we transformed the venue entirely. Our ceremony took place on the prairie which is a plot of land with native flowers and Texas grasses. An overgrown tree towered over the couple as they exchanged their vows. Afterwards guests headed indoors for dinner and dancing. We started with draping the entire facility. We would turn the entrance/foyer into dancing and band setup. Then the exhibit areas would be for dining. Our biggest installation was to drape the entire staircase in organic cascades of moody toned floral. The was definitely a WOW moment for all to enjoy. Another great detail was the vertical lighting installation over the large floor to ceiling window that overlooked the prairie. As the sun set and guests danced the night away, the lights created a fun, party atmosphere. Modern and moody details can be found throughout from the bold floral detailed invitation suite to the cake and romantic guest tables in slate, mixed metallics with over abundance of candlelight. The party went late into the night where surprise treats from Salsa Limon and The Beignet Bus were well received by guests. Then to top the end of the night, a cute little pedicab took the couple away as fireworks shot off in the distance. It was a magical night indeed!!
