Modern Wedding at The Grand Lady
Trang and Tony’s modern wedding at The Grand Lady in Austin, Texas was full of unforgettable moments and romantic details. From custom drink stirrers, cultural infusions, and their favorite foods as a late night snack, we can’t get enough!
The Proposal
It was a crisp autumn day when Tony surprised Trang with brunch tickets to a “country club.” Little did she know that this would be a moment she would treasure forever. Tony led her down a path adorned with string lights, guiding her toward a beautifully decorated gazebo. Delicate rose petals covered their path, creating a romantic atmosphere that took Trang’s breath away.
Unsuspecting of Tony’s intentions, Trang wondered if they were intruding on someone else’s proposal. The sound of her favorite love song filled the air, and as she looked closer, she saw their photo displayed on the gazebo. It was in that moment that everything became clear.
Tony dropped down to one knee and presented Trang with “the final rose.” Overwhelmed with joy and love, Trang accepted his proposal. As they left the Temple of Love at Laguna Gloria, their excitement grew and they began planning their modern wedding.
Back at their apartment, Trang was greeted with an unforgettable surprise—a reunion with her goldendoodle and their closest friends. Laughter, hugs, and tears of happiness filled the room as they celebrated the beginning of their engagement.
The Grand Lady
Selecting the perfect venue for their modern wedding was easy once they found The Grand Lady. Trang and Tony were captivated by the venues romantic vibe. The reception hall, with a breathtaking floor-to-ceiling glass wall, offered panoramic views that added an ethereal touch to their celebration. It was a dream setting that perfectly matched their vision of a romantic and modern wedding day.
Personal Touches
Throughout the day, Trang and Tony cherished the importance of private moments. These intimate experiences allowed them to savor every emotion, creating memories they can cherish forever. Before the ceremony, Trang and Tony took time to exchange their vows together. Then, they opted for a private dinner during cocktail hour, immersing themselves in each other’s company while their guests mingled. As the night drew to a close, they shared a private dance as guests prepared for their exit. Additionally, they had a special guest come to celebrate – their golden doodle!
Modern Wedding Details
They kept the decor modern and fresh, with simple white flowers and black touches. Trang especially loved her bridal bouquet! To personalize the day, they named a signature drink after their dog, Charlie, and had custom drink stirrers with her face. On each table, guests found disposable cameras to capture the night from their POV. Before joining their guests for dinner, Trang and Tony changed into traditional Asian attire to honor their culture. The night wouldn’t have been complete without a boba bar, bao buns and of course a killer dance party!
Advice from the couple
“Make decisions based on what you and your partner want, and not what you think the guests or family want!”
Working with Bianca Nichole and Co
“I knew I wanted to work with BNCo when I read on their website that they would be ‘designing a mood board to a top 40 playlist – with a little Beyonce and Lizzo mixed in.’ Yes, please. I was surprised by how much the team exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail and dedication to ensuring that the day went as smooth as possible meant everything to us. I also loved the behind the scene footage and videos that they captured throughout the day!” – Trang
