A Fall wedding at Rough Creek Lodge is nothing short of exquisite. Autumn shades cover the live oak trees and cool breezes fill our little piece of Texas hill country—that’s why so many brides choose our picturesque locale to say, “I do.”
While each celebration at Rough Creek is unique and beautiful in it’s own right, one in particular this past October perfectly encapsulated what we strive to achieve with each wedding: sheer perfection.
The wedding family reserved every guest room; if wedding guests saw an unfamiliar face it was probably one of our employees!
The festivities began with a rehearsal dinner on Friday evening in our newly enclosed Pavilion. The picture-perfect weather allowed us to open up the moving glass doors to bring some of the outside in. Because rehearsal dinners are no longer smaller affairs for the friends and family, this soirée was just as elegant as the actual wedding reception. Tables were covered with beautiful burlap toppers; the rustic theme was carried out with floral décor that included aromatic sage, rosemary, and other seasonal herbs—all by designer Rusty Glenn of Dallas fame.
The next day, the couple exchanged nuptials in our quaint 1800s-style chapel decked out with fabulous décor in shades of purple. Following the ceremony, the bride and groom headed to our Great Room for a grand reception. Custom lighting treatments softened the ambiance of the room; guests sat comfortably in chair cushions brought in by special order as the couple cascaded down the staircase and went right into their first dance—it was a truly magical moment!
After dinner and cake cutting, all the guests were invited outside for a champagne toast and professional fireworks show. That’s when the party really started—live music, dancing, flip-flops and fun!
From start to finish the entire event was simply breathtaking. Whether your big day is going to be small and intimate, large and majestic, or something in between—creating a one-of-a-kind experience is what we do at Rough Creek.
