A Timeless Austin Celebration: The Wedding of Niki and Alex
Austin weddings possess a unique magic, blending historic grandeur with modern sophistication, and the recent nuptials of Niki Bordelon and Alex Furnier were no exception. As a premier event florist, Jordan Flowers had the distinct honor of bringing their vision to life through a sophisticated color palette of blue, black, gold, crisp white, and lush eucalyptus. The day began with a breathtaking ceremony at the iconic St. Mary’s Catholic Cathedral, where the architecture served as a regal backdrop for their exchange of vows. Working as a dedicated wedding florist, we ensured that every floral arrangement complemented the sacred space while highlighting the couple's elegant style.
Following the ceremony, the celebration moved to the historic Driskill Hotel, a staple for those seeking the best florist designs in a luxury setting. Guests were welcomed to a cocktail hour on the second-floor Mezzanine and Terrace, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of downtown Austin. For the reception on the Mezzanine, the design shifted into high gear with waterfall-folded napkins and gold accents that sparkled under the lights. As an Austin florist deeply familiar with this venue, we utilized fresh eucalyptus and white blooms to create centerpieces that felt both organic and opulent, perfectly matching the plated dinner service.
This seamless event was made possible by an incredible team of vendors who specialize in the Austin wedding market. Mackenzie Garcia led the planning efforts with precision, while April Mae Creative captured every stunning detail on camera. The atmosphere was further enhanced by the Ben Batalla Jazz Trio during cocktails and DJ Trill Will for the evening dance party. From the exquisite cakes provided by Susie Cakes and The Driskill to the flawless beauty work of Luna Beauty and Bridal, every element was curated for excellence. Chris Livernois Videography documented the movement of the day, and Encore provided top-tier production support to ensure the lighting and sound were impeccable.
Getting to and from such prestigious venues requires reliable logistics, which were handled expertly by Austin Private Car Service. Whether you are planning a cathedral ceremony or a high-end hotel reception, selecting the right partners is essential for a stress-free experience. This black-tie affair stands as a testament to the beauty of classic design and the talent found within the Austin wedding community.
