As an Austin wedding planner, I’ve had the joy of helping couples bring some truly stunning celebrations to life. But every once in a while, a wedding comes along that feels like pure sunshine—colorful, joyful, and full of personality from beginning to end. Eilise and Brad’s Texas Hill Country wedding at Prospect House was exactly that.
Hi, I’m Sydney Meyer, founder of In Ink Weddings. I specialize in planning weddings that feel effortlessly you. My job is to support your vision, keep things running smoothly, and make sure every detail reflects your unique story. For Eilise and Brad, that meant stepping in during the final stretch to manage logistics and bring their playful, flower-filled wedding to life.
Their day was overflowing with vibrant blooms, heartfelt moments, and a creative spirit that made every guest feel right at home. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s colorful, warm, and full of intentional details, this one is packed with inspiration. Let’s take a closer look at how their celebration unfolded!
Getting Ready + A Private First Look
Eilise and Brad both got ready on-site at Prospect House, surrounded by their closest friends and family. While Brad spent the morning in the groom’s suite enjoying a few quiet moments before the celebration began, the bridal suite was already buzzing with energy. Eilise and her bridesmaids kicked things off with a champagne-poppin’ party. Clinking glasses and sharing laughs before the day officially got started.
After getting into her gown, Eilise shared a special moment with her bouquet—this first look wasn’t with Brad, but with the vibrant florals she’d been dreaming about for months. It was such a sweet, joy-filled pause before heading into one of the most emotional parts of the day.
When the time came, Eilise and Brad met for a private first look inside the venue. It was an intentional and quiet moment for just the two of them—no distractions, no crowd, just a chance to soak it all in together. The smiles, the happy tears, the shared deep breath before the big “I do”—it was everything.
Wedding Party and Family Portraits
With their first look behind them and the nerves settled, Eilise and Brad were joined by their wedding party, family, and pups for portraits inside Prospect House.
The wedding party looked incredible in rich green tones that popped beautifully against the clean white backdrop and floral wall installation. From big group photos to sweet one-on-one moments, every shot captured the joy and love surrounding these two.
Eilise and Brad were all smiles as they moved between their parents, siblings, and best friends—laughing, hugging, and taking it all in. It was a laid-back, joyful part of the day that felt like a celebration in itself—and the perfect lead-in to their ceremony.
Reception Reveal and Thoughtful Spring Details
Before guests arrived, Eilise and Brad got a private look at the reception space—and their reactions said it all. Inside Prospect House, long wooden tables were dressed in deep green runners, taper candles, and seasonal florals in every shade of spring. The mix of peach, plum, coral, and soft blue blooms felt organic and joyful, bringing warmth to the clean, modern space.
It was the kind of vibrant, intentional design that makes a Texas Hill Country wedding so magical—effortlessly blending natural charm with elevated, personal touches.
One of the most heartfelt details? Handwritten notes for every single guest, tucked into each place setting. It was a beautiful way for the couple to say thank you and made every seat feel extra special.
Instead of traditional escort cards, guests found their table assignments tied to mini bottles of Topo Chico—a playful Austin nod that also doubled as a refreshing treat. And the tables themselves? Named after different bourbon brands, a fun nod to the couple’s love of whiskey.
From the “from our pup to yours” dog treat favors to the jaw-dropping floral wall installation and candlelit ambiance, every detail was thoughtful and full of heart. It was the kind of space that invited guests to settle in, look around, and know just how much care went into this celebration.
A Ceremony Full of Heart
The sun was shining over the Texas Hill Country as guests gathered outside for Eilise and Brad’s ceremony. The wide-open lawn at Prospect House provided the perfect backdrop—modern, minimal, and grounded in natural beauty.
To kick things off, their pups made the sweetest entrance as “flower dogs”. Trotting down the aisle with floral collars and tails wagging. It was playful, heartfelt, and so uniquely them.
Then, Eilise made her entrance. Her walk down the aisle was nothing short of radiant, framed by golden light, spring florals, and the love of everyone gathered.
The couple exchanged handwritten vows, which had guests both laughing and wiping away tears. Their words were tender, honest, and filled with the kind of emotion that lingers long after the ceremony ends.
It was a beautiful moment—one of those ceremonies that doesn’t just mark the start of a marriage, but tells the story of the couple behind it. The perfect kind of magic you hope for at a Texas Hill Country wedding.
Cocktail Hour and Dancing the Night Away
As guests headed to cocktail hour, Eilise and Brad slipped away for golden hour portraits in the wildflowers. Soft light and a spring landscape made the perfect backdrop for a few quiet moments before the party began.
Once portraits wrapped, it was time to celebrate! The newlyweds made their grand entrance into the reception to a roar of applause—and the festivities started right away. They went straight into their first dance, followed by a sweet father-daughter moment. Next, the joyful mother-son dance had everyone smiling.
From there, the dance floor was packed and stayed that way all night long. The Premier Austin DJs knew exactly how to keep the energy high and the party going. Upbeat music, heartfelt toasts, and spontaneous dance battles set the tone. The night was packed with laughter, love, and celebration. This reception was a vibe from start to finish. A true reflection of the joy these two share.
A Night to Remember
As the night continued, Eilise made a quick outfit change. She returned in a sleek, fun reception dress that was perfect for twirling across the dance floor. She met up with her bridesmaids for a few playful photos before heading back into the party.
With the end of the night nearing, guests gathered outside for the grand finale. But before stepping out, Eilise and Brad shared one last private dance—just the two of them. It was a quiet, meaningful pause at the end of a vibrant celebration.
Then, under a tunnel of sparklers held by cheering guests, the couple made their exit into the night. It was the perfect ending to their Texas Hill Country wedding: thoughtful, joyful, and filled with love at every turn.
