The phrase “love is blind” has been around for centuries. The term was first used by Geoffrey Chaucer, a 14th–15th century English poet and author who is best known for his The Canterbury Tales. This term has come to describe the power of love and how it can overlook one’s faults or imperfections, allowing the couple to work towards a bright and happy future.
Netflix, in its hit reality series Love Is Blind, tests this idea by having singles date and get engaged without ever truly seeing each other. The contestants spend several days in “pods,” engaging in deep conversations through a wall, and are only allowed to see the person once they are engaged. They then go through a honeymoon phase before being let loose back into the real world, where they must navigate the challenges that reality brings. Together, they plan a wedding and ultimately decide, at the altar, whether they will say “I do” or walk away from the relationship.

- Candleroom

One of the most important locations featured in this incredible and drama-filled season was Lone Star Mansion. As the chosen wedding venue for this season, Lone Star Mansion was the backdrop for episode 10: “Approaching the Altar.”
Why Lone Star Mansion Was the Perfect Setting for a Dallas-Fort Worth TV Wedding
Lone Star Mansion is renowned for its immaculate 3-story antebellum-style mansion that is surrounded by 20 acres of breathtaking property. The magic that arises when one steps foot on this venue is powerful and resonates through years of rich history and eye-catching architecture. It is the perfect backdrop for any fairy-tale wedding, and the couples from Season 3 of Love Is Blind got to experience that firsthand.
Known for its stunning grounds, rich history, and versatile features, the Lone Star Mansion was the perfect choice as it suited the show’s needs very well. Offering a wide variety of indoor and outdoor spaces, the venue offered elegant and luxurious ceremony and reception spaces, whether it was raining or sunny. This met the producers’ desire to showcase extravagant weddings that celebrated the power of love formed from connections and not by sight.
Regardless of the couple’s decisions at the altar, every moment that was shot at the Lone Star Mansion showed off the natural beauty of the Texas landscape, brought attention to its southern charm, and perseverance in the face of adversity. It truly made for the perfect fairy-tale ending location for the season.
The Romance and Glamour of Filming in Dallas-Fort Worth
Out of the five couples, only two of them got married at the end of Love Is Blind season 3: Alexa and Brennon, and Colleen and Matt. Each of the weddings took place in the Lone Star Mansion’s elegant ballroom. With stunning wood floors, large panoramic windows bringing in immaculate natural lighting, and shimmering crystal chandeliers, each wedding brought about an air of sophistication and grace.
While the other couples may not have gone through with the I Do’s, the setup for their ceremony was still beautiful, showing off how easily the Lone Star Mansion’s ballroom can be decorated to incorporate different themes and elements. For example, SK and Raven incorporated little Nigerian touches into their ceremony, honoring SK’s family heritage while still honoring the marriage traditions that Raven held dear, such as being able to wear her perfect white dress.
In addition to the personal elements that the couples chose to incorporate, the gold accents, a staple for the Love Is Blind series, and the rich green plants and white flowers made the earth tones of the natural wood pop.
In addition to incredible shots showing off the luxurious glamour of the ballroom, other areas of the Lone Star Mansion were shown off as well. This includes the bride and groom suites, where the couples got ready with their wedding party. The groom’s suite had an incredible bar and pool table, keeping the men entertained and the nerves at bay while the ladies get to enjoy the stunning bridal suite. With the huge windows showing off incredible views of the grounds and bringing in plenty of natural light to ensure that the makeup was done just right, both individuals were pampered like royalty.
Lone Star Mansion Was the Natural Choice for Filming in Dallas-Fort Worth
One of the other aspects of the Lone Star Mansion that made it perfect for this season of Love Is Blind is its proximity to both Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas. Not only was it a good distance from where all of the couples were living, but it was also close to two major airports, Dallas-Love Field Airport and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. This makes bringing in family and friends for the event a lot easier. On top of this, Lone Star Mansion has valuable relationships with local vendors, allowing the couples and the production team to get what they need for each wedding without much strain.
