The ceremony took place on the five acres of manicured lawns and gardens of Waco’s oldest restored ante-bellum home. Brick and concrete walkways lined the grounds, and a double gazebo and huge live oak trees created an intimate shaded setting for the 4:30 p.m. double ring ceremony.
Following the ceremony, a reception was held beneath elegant white tents on the grounds with white Chinese paper lanterns looped over the dance floor. The wedding and reception incorporated a dark purple, champagne and white palette to compliment the fall flush of blooms surrounding the grounds. White wooden chairs and tables draped with white linen table clothes and covered with dark purple overlays were elegantly decorated with crystal candelabras centerpieces, twinkle lights, flowers and candles. Guests enjoyed a buffet style dinner of beef brisket, ham and pork loin with all the fixings. The bride’s three-tiered wedding cake was decorated with cream cheese butter cream icing that featured dark purple orchids, rhinestones and a monogram cake topper that was crafted by the groom’s mother. The groom’s cake was a double tier chocolate cake with chocolate dipped strawberry’s and topped with a rangers baseball carved from chocolate cake and covered with fondant, which reflected the fun personality of the groom. Guests were also treated to a chocolate fountain surrounded by delectable goodies and a galaxy of sweets candy buffet.
