COMMODORE PERRY ESTATE DREAM WEDDING (AUSTIN TEXAS)

From the Austin Texas Bride:

“I had always wanted a small wedding,” mused Caroline Gholson, “but 16 people isn’t just small - that’s a large dinner party!”

Caroline and Andrew Fallon knew getting engaged during the pandemic meant thinking creatively. “Have you ever read one of those suggested wedding prep timelines from The Knot? It had advice such as, don’t stress about finding a florist until you’re 12 months out. I mean, our entire engagement was only six months! We knew we had our work cut out for us,” Andrew quipped. The couple decided to lean into the idea of an intimate gathering, by focusing on the smallest details - a photographer’s dream. They realized they had the opportunity to personalize elements of a wedding celebration that would typically be rented, like embroidering dinner napkins with their monogram and designing their own placemats and bespoke calligraphy invitations.

Three weeks before the big day, Winter Storm Uri hit Texas, and the couple thought chaos would ensue. But on March 6, as the couple stood beneath a hundred year old oak tree, the couple was truly in the moment. The sunset ceremony capped off a three day celebration with 14 of the couple’s closest family members. Guests enjoyed beef tartare and fried green tomatoes while listening to a string trio play a mash-up of hits from Stevie Wonder to Beyoncé. Dinner was complete with a color palette that honored the venue’s decor - moody purples, with deep mustard and blush. The signature cocktail - nicknamed The Lolarita - was a popular favorite and paid homage to the couple’s dog, Lola.

The small setting allowed guests to truly get to know each other - safely - while getting quality time with the bride and groom. As Caroline and Andrew departed, surprise fireworks lit the way and made for one epic wedding exit!
