Congratulations, Christine Scott, for BEST Photography
Congratulations, Caroline Gollner of VOLARE Planning and Design, for Best Design & Southern Socialite Award
Hill Country Pavilion and Lawn features a spacious, light-filled room overlooking the rolling hills of the Texas countryside. Designer Caroline Gollner, VOLARE Planning and Design, with florist Katherine Hood, Merveille Events, created a cascade of floral arrangements to soften the brick walls and create a focal point of the dining area. Floral hues of yellow, soft pink, and white create a contrast against the white brick wall, enlivening the space. The Lawn hosted the ceremony creation of three abundant floral arches along with beautiful purple velvet chairs complementing the green and yellow flowers.
