Emily and Michael’s Musical Austin Wedding
Music is the heartbeat of Austin, the Live Music Capital of the World. Emily, a very talented violinist, married the love of her life, Michael, and music was the central note at their Austin wedding. Surrounded by the charm of Rose Haven’s lush gardens and elegant spaces, the violinist’s wedding was a symphony of love, personal touches, and joyful celebration.
A Ceremony in Bloom on the Antique Rose Veranda
Michael and Emily chose the Antique Rose Veranda for their outdoor ceremony, and it couldn’t have been more breathtaking. Climbing antique roses and lush morning glory vines framed the couple during the ceremony with the beautiful perennial gardens as a backdrop. The weather was perfect for the ceremony, and the gentle breeze seemed to whisper blessings over the couple as they exchanged vows in front of friends and family. The natural beauty of the Veranda paired with the romance of the surrounding rose gardens provided a serene yet picturesque environment for their love to blossom.
Charming Personal Touches
Michael and Emily’s wedding was full of creative and personal details that reflected their love story.
Preceding the ceremony, real lavender rose petals were strewn with such joy. Look how much fun they were having! And so were the guests, as many also had rose petals scattered on them as well!
Emily wore bright royal blue shoes with her wedding dress, adding the perfect pop of color. Their officiant also wore a royal blue dress for the perfect match.
It wouldn’t be a violinist’s wedding if there weren’t live musicians! They provided the perfect ambiance for the ceremony and start of the reception.
Centered on their display table, among fun photos of Emily and Michael, was a whimsical painting of their beloved cats—dressed in royal uniforms! This adorable and quirky touch brought smiles to everyone’s faces! Too cute!
The Reception in Heritage Rose Hall
After the heartfelt ceremony, guests moved to the Heritage Rose Hall for a lively and unforgettable reception. Decorated by Events by Poppy & Co in shades of lavender and purple accented with greenery, a classic color palette that perfectly complemented the charm of Rose Haven. Peak Beverage got the party started quickly with their expert bartender with a fun personality.
One of the most magical moments of the evening came when Emily, an accomplished violinist, serenaded her guests. As part of a stunning trio with two of her wedding party members, Emily played beautiful melodies that filled the hall with an intimate, heartfelt ambiance. Then she performed a solo as she walked gracefully up the middle of Heritage Rose Hall, violin in hand, playing to each of her guests as they looked on in awe. It was a truly memorable and unique touch that added a deeply personal and elegant element to the celebration, highlighting Emily’s talent and making the evening feel even more special.
The reception kicked off with the help of Bat City Beats, rocking the perfect soundtrack for the evening, ensuring the dance floor stayed packed all night. The music set the tone for a fun and festive evening, whether it was the newlyweds’ first dance or the energetic celebration that followed,.
Delicious Catering by Chuy’s and Rose Haven
The couple opted for a delicious and festive menu from Chuy’s, bringing a taste of Austin’s beloved Tex-Mex cuisine to their celebration. The chips and queso rocked the cocktail hour treat, and the overflowing fajita bar, including their crowd-favorite creamy jalapeño dip, was a huge hit.
The dessert table was created in house by Christy Seguin, owner of Rose Haven. Chocolate, Vanilla, and Red Velvet cupcakes. Snickerdoodle and Chocolate Chip cookies. All made from scratch with lots of real butter. The display table featured a faux cake centerpiece with the desserts flanking it, with beautiful floral accents in the color palette.
Capturing Every Moment
The talented Matthew Chambers of Matthew Chambers Photography captured the magic of the day. From the special moments of getting ready to the emotional moments during the ceremony and the joy-filled reception, Matthew’s photos beautifully documented the violinist’s wedding. Creative touches like collaborating with Rose Haven to use their antique wire dress form, along with Emily’s violin and blue shoes, to elevate the wedding dress photos are a hallmark of Matthew’s style.
If you don’t like the weather in Texas, just wait 5 minutes
The wedding day could not have been more perfect weather. But ominous clouds started rolling in, and suddenly rain poured down during the reception. Fortunately, one of Rose Haven’s best features is its comfortable climate-controlled spaces for a built-in weather plan! The party paused for a second to be grateful for rain in our normally parched Texas Hill Country, and went right back to having a great time! The Antique Rose Veranda looked beautiful with the lights glistening in the rain!
