Victoria & Evan: Fiesta Inspired
The Venue: Ma Maison
This gorgeous 23-acre property strikes the perfect balance between European elegance and Southern hospitality. French for "my house," Ma Maison offers five unique event spaces for Hill Country weddings, with both indoor and outdoor options. The Grove, pictured above, is the wedding venue's most popular location for ceremonies, and it's easy to see why. Another favorite spot at Ma Maison is the Green Cathedral—an authentic, reclaimed antique gazebo from France that makes the perfect backdrop for an intimate outdoor ceremony or first look.

From the bride's gold sequined wedding dress to the miniature piñata centerpieces and papel picado escort cards, this wedding was all about playful, whimsical details. The couple, Victoria and Evan, wanted their day to feel like one big fiesta in honor of their Mexican and Cuban heritages.
