A McGovern Gardens Wedding Reception With Unbelievable Hydrangea Installations

The Planning
Design / Vibe / Vision

Anna Louise and Walker’s wedding reception awakened fearless displays of blue hydrangeas and indescribable floral installations that maintained a timeless and elegant feel. Mcgovern Centennial Gardens in Houston displayed elevated gardens, a memorable fountain, and a delicate grassy lawn for their reception.

Proposal Story

The evening that Anna Louise and Walker met was unexpected, as they were both attending a mutual friend’s birthday party. The pair enjoyed each other’s company so much that they exchanged numbers and chatted the rest of the weekend. The following week, the couple arranged to have their first date at a swanky wine bar. For the couple’s engagement, Walker planned a surprise weekend. Anna Louise thought they would be leaving town to visit the beach with family, but instead, when she arrived to pick up Walker, he proposed in their backyard.

The Fashion
Wedding Gown
Anna Louise wore a timeless lace gown made of delicate floral embroidery along a soft tulle overlay. Her veil, a sentimental family heirloom, was made from the fabric of her grandmother’s wedding dress.
The Details
Food & Drink
In true Texas fashion, the couple served a twist on a margarita for their signature drink — dubbed the "Robertson Rita."
Florals & Decor

Within the tented reception space, otherworldly floral arrangements burst to life. Overhead, blue hydrangeas floated like chandeliers. Multi-colored floral arches made for magnificent details and photo ops, with a focus on complimentary pinks and pastels. Meanwhile, touches of greenery danced along the light fixtures, beams, and windows of the clear tent. Trendy, clear furniture was balanced by polished couches and elegant table settings. Working as the wedding’s signature blue, hydrangeas also made their way into table arrangements, which included a mix of smaller and larger floral bouquets.

Wedding Cake
The couple’s watercolor-inspired cake tied the evening together with an artistic blue swirl throughout each layer.
