This laid-back fall wedding at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas was the perfect mix of relaxed and intentional.
These two got dressed together, strolled into their ceremony without fuss and greeted every one of their long-time friends there to support them. It was so much easier to not overcomplicate the day with a timeline packed full of “Things You’re Supposed to Do” or long photo checklists. Just two people joining together and celebrating with family and long-time friends.
If you’re planning your own wedding here, I put together a full guide to getting married at the Wildflower Center.
Why couples love the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center
There is something about the sustainable design of the buildings, the abundance of my favorite native Texas plants, the incredible light that falls everywhere and the awesome couples that book means I’m always excited whenever I get to shoot a wedding there.
Best time of year for Wildflower Center weddings?
The most colorful time of year for a wedding is spring if you want to lean into the garden party, wildflowers in bloom, later sunsets vibe. Fall if you’re more about the tall, whispy grasses and cooler nights. Early sunsets in fall and a end time before 11 means there’s plenty of time to have an afterparty at your hotel.
Major thanks to Lisa Woods for letting me tag along to Kara and Mark’s wedding for a few hours.
