Alden + Colton’s Marian Inspired Wedding in Austin, Texas!

Apr 14

Alden and Colton’s wedding in Austin, Texas was a stunning blend of classic elegance, heartfelt faith, and meaningful personal details. The bride wore a classic lace gown, beautifully complemented by elegant blue bridesmaids dresses that carried through the day’s refined palette, and the couple’s Marian devotion. Alden & Colton exchanged vows during a reverent Mass at St. Mary Cathedral in downtown Austin, where tradition and beauty filled every moment. As they exited the church, guests celebrated with a joyful ribbon wand send-off, a lively start to their married life.

The celebration continued at Hotel Ella, where portraits on the lawn captured the couple in soft Texas light, as guests moved into cocktail hour by the pool. The reception unfolded in an elegant ballroom featuring classic candlelight and centerpieces by Petaled Design. Along the tablescape, was beautiful china with a velvet blue napkin and navy bow, creating a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. A traditional white wedding cake shared the spotlight with a fun groom’s cake, a sweet nod to Alden and Colton’s time at the UT Austin, where they first met in an undergraduate law class. Emotional, tearjerking speeches and formal dances filled the evening with meaning, and guests enjoyed a delicious meal with loved ones. As dancing began, some creative guests turned the navy bows, which once held their napkins, into celebratory headbands. The night ended in unforgettable fashion with a live band, a saxophone-led exit, and guests showering the newlyweds with dried petals as they stepped into their next chapter together.
