We have to admit, we’re already starting to countdown until our next visit whenever we depart from Ma Maison. This Austin area wedding venue is located in the heart of hill country, and we think their indoor and outdoor wedding spaces are some of the most beautiful in Texas. And, our couples agree! So, when the Ma Maison team invited us to style an outdoor wedding ceremony and reception with a wonderful team of wedding professionals for their January open house, we jumped at the chance!

Karen, Ma Maison’s owner, dreaming up the details for each unique space,and she asked us if we would take on Springtime in Paris for the Green Cathedral. The wrought iron details are similar to what one might see while roaming the streets of Paris. Then we turned to colors and chose to pair soft pastel shades together with brighter pops of pink and red. Of course, black and white stripes and beautiful flowers were a must!

On the day of the open house, we revealed our completed design. Watercolor stationery by Poppies and Ink would invite guests to our soiree. When everyone arrived, we imagined a ceremony taking place in front of the Green Cathedral. To add extra color, fun, and whimsy, we worked with Pop & Drop to create a balloon arch that served as a ceremony backdrop and to install colorful streamers indie the cathedral. Then we added high top tables draped in stripes to our cocktail hour space where we imagined guests sipping drinks. A boxwood escort card display with watercolor cards invited guests to take their seats in the reception. 

Because the outdoor setting is so ideal, like an outdoor Parisian café, we imagined the reception occurring under the stars. Uncovered wooden tables served as our base where we layered bright pink rose and peony centerpieces by Exquisite Petals on top. Then we imagined guests enjoying a menu created by SoHo Catering. Lastly, we have to highlight our favorite detail: live fashion painting by Vogue Vignettes! Paris is known for their art and fashion, so incorporating both in the form of a live painter at our wedding felt completely fitting. 

Whether it’s inside or outside, Ma Maison’s event spaces all welcome transformation and plenty of additional details. And, they look like a dream in photos, particularly if The Mill is behind the lens. Will we be planning your Parisian inspired wedding at Ma Maison next?
