This wedding weekend felt grand, yet grounded — unfolding in one of Austin’s most iconic venues. From start to finish, this Commodore Perry Estate wedding weekend was one of those celebrations you wish would never end.
The Memorable Commodore Perry Estate Wedding
Guests were transported into an atmosphere of historic elegance at the Commodore Perry Estate, a 10-acre Italian Renaissance revival property in the heart of Austin. Once the private residence of a successful industrialist in the Roaring 20s, this estate was transformed into a five-star resort with curated interiors and lush gardens. The ivy-covered walls and sprawling grounds provide a unique escape from the bustle of downtown Austin, making it the ideal backdrop for this couple’s black tie celebration.
It’s All In The Details
The floral-filled invitation suite set the tone for the rest of the wedding weekend, with vibrant greens and floral patterns. On the wedding day rich jewel tones — emerald, ruby, fuchsia, and sapphire — popped at every turn, from the florals to the lounge vignettes to the fashion. The ceremony was framed by a lush arch of roses, ranunculus, and orchids. Before the vows began, guests settled in with their refreshing welcome cocktails.
A Fashionable Reception and Afterparty
The reception continued the energy with a mix of vintage-inspired details and modern color. Design took center stage with a striking seating chart of bud vases arranged against a deep emerald backdrop. As the festivities moved indoors (with hand-scooped ice cream cones in hand), the bride slipped into a red sequin party dress for a showstopping fashion moment. Gradually, guests made their way to the after-party at Lutie’s Bar, where the dance floor glowed under hanging greenery and the espresso martinis flowed freely.
