Yvette and Blake by Ben Godkin Photography

Yvette and Blake were married in late January at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church. Following the afternoon ceremony, guests headed to The Allan House for dinner and dancing. Keep scrolling to check out our favorite images from the reception which took place in our Winter Tent. To view photos from the ceremony and more reception fun, visit Ben Godkin Photography's blog post.

The couple chose a classic cake design from Simon Lee Bakery.

We love warm color palette of the flowers and table centerpieces.

Complete Music set the mood and kept guests dancing throughout the evening.

 

Congratulations, Yvette and Blake! We loved working with you and your family!

If you are a fan of these photos, you'll adore their engagement session also captured by Ben Godkin.

Hill Country in the City Open House

 A couple of weeks ago, we kicked off fall wedding season with our "Hill Country in the City" open house!

Upon arrival, guests were greeted with swag bags and entered to win door prizes provided by Doubletree Guest Suites, Aziz Salon and Day Spa, Inviting Affairs, and Bella Bridesmaid! 

With Texas country music courtesy of Complete Music and Video, hors d'oeuvres by Dagar's Catering, and cocktails served by Hill Country Events, the event was such a success!

Gourmet deviled eggs

Goat cheese and apple crepes

The event allowed the guests to enjoy the outside space, decorated in deep red and orange hues by Marquee Rents. It was an ideal way to showcase our outdoor courtyard and get everyone in the mood for fall!

The cocktail tables were covered in balsamic taffeta linens and tied with lace sashes.

Tables and benches, a part of Marquee's Vineyard Collection, were decorated with ivory lace runners.

Cashmere satin linen with bronze fall floral taffeta overlay and spice taffeta sashes.

Various fall floral arrangements by Verbena Floral Design accented the linens and added a warm, country feel to the event.

Also in the courtyard were The Allan House's signature white paper lanterns and twinkle lights.

Simon Lee Bakery displayed their cherry blossom cake design.

 

The petite fours were so cute and tasty!

Special thanks to our additional featured vendors for the evening!
