A Southern Summer Wedding at the Stunning Grand Lady in Austin, TX

This Austin, Texas wedding was full of faith, joy, a garden of flowers, intentional details, and effortless style. The Grand Lady served as the perfect backdrop for the day with its mix of historical charm and contemporary flair. Beau & Brady wanted a southern-style wedding, full of flowers and fixed on Jesus — and that’s exactly what this vendor team achieved!

It’s always fun to get to plan and design weddings in Austin, TX. There’s something about the venues here that lend themselves to either an eclectic, charming, or historical feel — or all of the above! The Grand Lady venue is a perfect example that checks all three boxes. A historical home that was built in 1881 as a wedding present for the original owner, this mansion has been refurbished and relocated to Manor, Texas. Tucked away in the hills, and in a landscape that somehow mixes the dessert feel of west Texas, with the lush trees of east Texas, the outdoor spaces at this wedding venue feel like a natural extension of the buildings onsite. I love how casual yet defined the brick courtyard space is for cocktail hour, and the multi-space options for ceremonies; using either the front lawn or the contemporary reception space (both inside and under the covering.) And when it comes to the reception hall — the striking lines, big windows, and modern shape are an unexpected compliment to the estate home — which is why it just works! It’s eclectic yet is still the perfect blank canvas for numerous design styles. There are so many possibilities to make your event your own, while hosting your guests with an unforgettable wedding weekend!
