Our Favorite Venues: The Prairie!

This venue is one of our favorites! Besides the fact that it used to be our friend Ramona's family homestead, this venue is the perfect place for a bride who is looking for something special for her wedding.

The Prairie is located in Round Top, Texas which makes all antiquers' ears perk up. It's down a long dirt road, and it's really a treasure.

So here's 3 things to love about The Prairie!

1) Somebody famous designed it.
Rachel Ashwell is the shabby-chic queen, and she's the creative genius behind this venue. In every building on the property, you can see her touch. From the antique chairs, hardwood floors, and the floral print linens, you can see her vision come to life. Shabby chic themed weddings are very popular right now. If you're thinking about having one, why not start out at the venue that's owned by the queen herself?

2) It's in a small town.
If you come to Round Top, Texas during antique week, it might not seem like a small town. But any other time, Round Top is a lazy little town that is a perfect getaway from the city. Don't worry about your guests getting stuck in traffic or turning down the wrong one-way street. It's dirt roads and cattle-guards in Round Top.

3) You can go eat at Royer's Round Top Cafe while you're there.
Ok.. this is kinda off topic but I had to mention it. When we go to Round Top, we brave the crowd (and yes, there's always a crowd there) and the family style seating so that we can eat at Royer's Round Top Cafe. Sitting with strangers is worth it when you get to eat great food and enjoy the one-of-a-kind atmosphere. The pie's great too. If you haven't been there... go... now...

And be sure to schedule a visit to The Prairie as well!
