If you’re looking for rehearsal dinner + welcome party inspo, look no further. Ellie & Jacob’s night before was warm, refined, and laid-back. Their eclectic style showed through with every detail, and the night flowed beautifully—from the intimate vineyard dinner under string lights, to a tented welcome party overflowing with joy (and Lone Star).
Ellie & Jacob rolled in on a golf cart, making their grand entrance while close friends and family greeted them. As everyone sat down to dinner, Jordan played solo folky guitar, serenading the small table of 12. The sunset was truly on our team and this Texas Hill Country vineyard was tricking me into thinking we were in Napa all night.
As dinner came to a close and the moon rose, the welcome party began. More guests started to arrive—flocking to the well-stocked bar and pinball machines. We picked up the energy, playing upbeat folk & Americana tunes and singing lots of harmony while guests mingled, hugged, and maybe even 2-stepped a little. It was the most beautiful start to an amazing weekend and we were so grateful to be a part.
Highlights: The perfect dinner al fresco, string lights, strong hat game, and retro pinball machines.
