Whether that be compiling your dream team of vendors, carefully selecting decor options or even celebrating the engagement news with your loved ones, wedding planning is definitely filled with countless fun activities.
Are you new to our wedding blog? If so, welcome to Madera Estates. As a wedding venue and event space located in Conroe, TX, we’ve had the opportunity to work with hundreds of engaged couples over the years, as they plan out their big day! And as is a regular occurrence here on our wedding blog, we frequently provide inside looks at past weddings held at our venue. With this week’s blog post, we’ll be looking back on Julia and Ashwin’s fall wedding from last year. From the precious first look to the picture-perfect outdoor ceremony, fun-filled indoor reception and even a fireworks display to cap everything off, this wedding was simply magical! Join us as we reminisce on their amazing wedding day!
Before we get started with that though, we would like to mention that we’ll provide a complete vendor list at the end of this blog post. This will include the talented Ama by Aisha #amabyclaudia, who captured all of the special moments and photos that you’ll see throughout this blog post.
Getting Ready Moments
We’ll begin this wedding day by featuring the always-memorable getting ready moments.
For those of you who are new to our venue, Madera Estates has two getting ready suites that couples are able to utilize. One of these is called the Champagne Suite. This is where Julia and her besties were getting all glammed up for the big day! How stunning does our bride-to-be look?
The second “getting ready” suite is called the Whiskey Lounge, and that is where Ashwin and the guys got all spruced up for the day’s festivities.
Who else is ready to see these two tie the knot?
First Look Before the Ceremony
It goes without saying that first looks are becoming more and more popular in the wedding world!
And after you see these adorable photos from Julia and Ashwin’s wedding day, we definitely think you’ll consider incorporating a first look into your pre-ceremony activities!
A first look can be the perfect opportunity to calm any pre-wedding nervousness and enjoy a special moment with your spouse-to-be.
Not to mention, you’ll also have some time flexibility in terms of capturing different photos, including those of you and your partner! Julia and Ashwin capitalized on this open time for some amazing photos!
We’re absolutely LOVING how these turned out! Along with several photos of just the couple, they were also able to get some formal wedding party and family photos knocked out as well!
Time for the “I Do’s!”
It goes without saying that the fall wedding season continues to be quite popular! Just take a look at how amazing everything looks as this wedding ceremony draws near.
As we mentioned in the opening paragraphs, Julia and Ashwin would say their “I Do’s” with an outdoor ceremony in front of the Grand Fireplace.
And once all of their loved ones had been seated, this fall wedding ceremony was ready to begin!
There’s no feeling that matches the one when you see your partner on the walk down the aisle!
Surrounded by friends and family, Julia and Ashwin exchanged their vows and said their “I Do’s.”
Just like that, these two are officially husband and wife! Congratulations!
While guests enjoyed a cocktail hour, the newlyweds captured some amazing photos as the sun began to set.
Golden hour photos are certainly something you can’t go wrong with!
If you’ll be tying the knot at Madera Estates, these are definitely some ideas worth sharing with your photographer!
Fall Wedding Reception at Madera Estates
Julia and Ashwin’s reception would take place inside the Hacienda.
From the delicious food provided by Churrascos Woodlands to the stunning floral arrangements by Carter’s Florist & Nursery, the ballroom was all set!
After everyone had made their way into the Hacienda, it was time for Julia and Ashwin to make their grand entrance!
Would you agree that toasts are always a fun component of wedding receptions? Guests enjoyed a wonderful meal prepared by Churracos Woodlands before a few of the newlywed’s loved ones said a few words!
Speaking of wedding traditions, the cutting of the wedding cake has to be on that list! Cakes by Gina created a masterpiece for this fall wedding reception.
What a beautiful wedding cake!
And now it’s time to hit the dance floor! First up was a special first dance between Julia and Ashwin.
An evening filled with dancing and celebrating followed! However, we did have several more photos that we just had to share!
How stunning are these night-time shots in front of the Grand Fireplace?
Towards the end of the evening, while guests lined up outside for a final send-off, Julia and Ashwin were able to enjoy a final dance inside the Hacienda. We’ve had many couples opt to add this to their wedding day timeline and there’s no denying that it is always such a special moment!
How about this for a final send-off? Surrounded by friends and family, a marvelous fireworks display (compliments of ROAR Over Texas) is definitely the perfect way to cap off your “Best Day Ever!”
