Meredith + Abhinav's Rehearsal Dinner: Vibrant Texas Ranch Venue

Meredith and Abhinav planned a weekend-long destination wedding celebration in the bride’s hometown of Big Spring, Texas - all hosted on her family’s ranch. We worked with Shannon Rose Events to execute a vibrant-colored event design for their welcome party, rehearsal dinner and ceremony and reception - making sure to channel a mix of Indian and Texas culture and style.

To kick off the weekend, guests were hosted at a welcome party and rehearsal dinner in a cabin on the property that we transformed to incorporate the couple’s love of vibrant, fun interiors, inspired by some of their favorite restaurants in New York. The space was set up with a cocktail bar, high-top tables and soft seating. The bar was tied into the vibrant color scheme with a green velvet backdrop, that also helped from a seating area in front.

For the rehearsal dinner, we designed orange and pink ikebana-style arrangements to line the long tables, along with bright pink pillar candles. Green was tied into the tablescapes, too, through touches like the flatware. Lanterns hung from the ceiling and branches of fall foliage surrounding wooden pillars in the barn made all the difference in creating the perfect atmosphere for this space with ambient light and natural textures.

This space was used for the wedding reception the next day, and we loved seeing the flowers and design come to life with a slight variation on the vibrant oranges, reds and green we landed on for the rehearsal dinner!
