This month, we’re spotlighting a chic Hill Country wedding full of Texas charm and elevated details. Ariana and Blair said “I do” on April 27, 2024.

Ariana and Blair threw one unforgettable wedding weekend—Texas charm, personal touches, and elevated style in every detail.

The festivities kicked off with a jaw-dropping, Texas-themed welcome party that set the tone for the celebration ahead. Guests were greeted under a tent adorned with patterned blue floral linens from BBJ La Tavola, creating a vibrant and inviting atmosphere. A custom cowboy hat stand allowed guests to choose and brand their own hats, adding a fun, interactive touch. A rustic wooden bar fit perfectly with the western vibe and kept drinks flowing all evening long.

On the morning of the wedding, Ariana and her closest friends got ready in style. She wore feather-trimmed white pajamas while her bridesmaids coordinated in matching blue sets. Hair and makeup teams worked their magic as the anticipation built. Ariana stunned in a sophisticated, off-the-shoulder fitted gown with a bow detail in the back and a flowing veil, while her bridesmaids wore mismatched blue dresses that perfectly complemented the palette.

The ceremony, planned to perfection by Pearl Events, took place outdoors at Omni Barton Creek Resort + Spa. White florals lined the aisle, and Blair waited at the base of a glossy white platform overlooking the rolling hills of Austin—a breathtaking scene for their heartfelt vows.

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails before stepping into a reception space that was nothing short of magical. A jaw-dropping floral installation hung above the dance floor, while the tables were styled with blue tapered candles in crystal candelabras, tall floral arrangements, and woven chargers from Premiere Event Rentals. Personalized matchboxes gave a subtle nod to the couple’s Texas Longhorn pride.

The show-stopping seating chart featured a custom toile-inspired backdrop with illustrations of cowboy boots, longhorns, trees, and other iconic Texas symbols—blending local flair with elegant design.

As the night unfolded, guests celebrated with custom foam “Hook ‘Em Horns” fingers, jumbo face cutouts of the couple and their dog, more cowboy hats, and even an ice luge in the shape of the iconic UT Tower courtesy of Full Spectrum Ice. From start to finish, Ariana and Blair’s weekend was a celebration to remember—deeply personal, beautifully styled, and overflowing with joy.
