Look to History for Inspiration
Whether you are getting married at the Lone Star Mansion or another venue, you can always look to the venue’s history to gain inspiration for your wedding. With its immaculate three-story antebellum building, The Lone Star Mansion is the perfect location for a Great Gatsby- or Downtown Abbey-inspired ceremony.
What Is the Lone Star Mansion’s History?
The Lone Star Mansion was built in the 1800s in Mississippi. By the 1980s, it was falling into disrepair. To save it, the mansion was disassembled and the salvageable pieces were brought to Texas. Here it was put together and restored using the original floor plan. Some of the original pieces include:
- Most of the hardwood floors
- The columns
- Crown-molding
- Some of the doors and windows
Balance the Old and the New
It can be difficult trying to decide between a modern or more traditional wedding. With a wedding at a luxurious manor, like the Lone Star Mansion, you can have both. Our team has put together some creative traditional weddings with modern elements mixed in.
Through small touches, such as choosing a non-traditional stone like a sapphire for your wedding band, to bigger trends, such as creating a ghost ceremony using lucite wedding decor, you can blend tradition with modern style for a truly unique wedding experience. No matter what ideas you have for your wedding day, rest assured that the dedicated wedding planners at Lone Star Mansion will make it happen.
Highlight Your Family’s Culture
Couples looking for the quintessential traditional wedding will want an experience highlighting the blending of their family cultures. This could mean having a traditional religious ceremony combined with a cake-pull instead of a bouquet toss. Whatever elements are meaningful to the couple will be just as meaningful and important to creating a rich experience for their family and friends.
Create an Extravagant Reception
Traditional weddings are known for the party that comes afterward. The reception is your chance to show off the personality of your new budding family. From special games important to you and your spouse, such as cornhole, to an endless night of dancing to your favorite songs, you will want the reception to be engaging, ensuring that your guests are not standing around.
