The styled design highlights the Texas wine culture and the peach orchards that Fredericksburg is known for deep in the Texas Hill Country. The chosen color palette draws from the warm tones of sun-kissed peaches, with hues ranging from soft blush to deep coral. Earthy tones, reminiscent of the rugged terrain, are woven throughout to ground the design in the authenticity of the Texas landscape. These colors reflect the choice of materials with reclaimed wood in the seating chart and textured fabrics providing a tactile connection to the Texas Hill Country.
The furniture and decor embrace a blend of vintage charm and modern comfort. Plush-seating upholstered in soft fabrics mixed with modern florals balances out the design. The dominant peach color throughout the design softens the vibrant flower hues and maintains the cohesiveness of the installations in each space. Floral company BlumeCo Haus Events created a hanging structure over the head table so the florals were more like clouds hovering over the farmhouse tables adding glamour to the outdoor space. The overall ambiance is one of relaxed sophistication, where guests can savor the flavors of Texas wine and peaches in a setting that pays homage to the area. Careful thought was given to each detail – from the watercolor envelope liner to the monogrammed velvet napkin ties, so every detail matters.
