Driskill Winter Wedding Fun

Lia and Tye are such an enjoyable couple and were a good team in starting their wedding plans. They hired me eight weeks before their wedding to pull together the final vendors and wedding details at one of my favorite Austin venues, The Driskill. The groom’s parents have an amazing home near Zilker Park and hosted a wonderful rehearsal dinner on Friday night. The wedding day was crisp, but not nearly as cold as February could have been.

I love seeing all the details come together at weddings, especially when they reflect what the couple loves.  They definitely had one of the most epic cake cuttings I’ve seen in a long time, I loved their photo booth cut-outs of our favorite Texans Matthew McConaughey, BEVO and Willie Nelson not to mention the non-stop dancing thanks to Blind Date. All of these details and more were captured by the amazing Tyler Schmitt with Mill Photo Studio.

Wedding Plans for Winter Months

I plan weddings all year round in Austin, however our peak season is definitely the spring and fall months. Just as it is too hot in Austin for outside weddings, we do need a great plan for winter weddings as well since our weather can easily turn rainy and the temperatures are completely unpredictable with ranges between 70-20 degree. We always make sure we review what our plan B will be regarding tenting, decor and keeping all the guests comfortable. Here are a few of our past winter weddings at a variety of venues that had great backup plans or were perfect for an inside event with no weather worry at all. By the way, winter in Austin can start as early as late November and not end until mid-March.

Do you have a wedding planner to discuss the countless questions with in regards to decor, weather, which vendors to choose, how it all comes together and so on?  Thanksgiving through Valentine’s Day is peak engagement season, so don’t hold off. Arrange an in person or phone consultation today so we can immediately help alleviate your stress.

Happy planning,

Barbara
