If a deep love for all things Texas is something that you and your partner share, why not showcase that passion when you get married? Infusing your wedding decorations with Lone Star flair can add a personal touch to your wedding day.

We have suggestions that will help you wrangle all those decor details during your event planning and create a celebration that's as unforgettable as a Texas sunset.

Let’s get started on planning a wedding that truly reflects your love for the Lone Star State.

Texas Wedding Decor: Your Ceremony

Set the tone from the start by dressing up your ceremony space with Texas-inspired decor.

Something as simple as a burlap aisle runner will give off a rustic, ranch-style vibe. You can line the aisle with potted cacti, galvanized metal tins filled with wildflowers, or bark-covered vases holding vibrant blooms like Indian blankets or bluebonnets.

For an outdoor ceremony, you can create a beautiful backdrop by suspending an antique metalwork gate or rustic wooden doors from sturdy poles. Decorate it with cascading vines, sunflowers, and sprigs of cotton arranged in galvanized buckets on either side.

Cocktail Hour Decor

During cocktail hour at your wedding, create a chic lounge area with mismatched vintage sofas and armchairs reupholstered in cowboy-inspired fabrics like cowhide or Southwestern prints.

Complete your look with cowhide rugs, rustic wooden side tables, and metallic buckets brimming with Texas drinks like Shiner beers and ranch waters.

A "Welcome Y'all" chalkboard sign in elegant script will help set a warm, hospitable tone.

You can also scatter hay bales around the space to use as rustic cocktail tables topped with bandana runners.

Reception Decor for Your Texas Wedding

For your reception tables, display cowboy boot centerpiece holders overflowing with succulents and cactus arrangements and table runners made from burlap or bandana fabrics.

Top the tablecloths with themed accents like tiny cowboy boot bottle openers or Texas-shaped wood coaster favors.

More creative possibilities:

-Replace plain table numbers with vintage road signs or cut numbers from rusted metal sheets.

-Go minimal with basic white plates and glasses, bringing in pops of Texas flair through red gingham napkins and mason jars wrapped in twine holding fresh wildflower sprigs.

-Decorate your escort card or seating chart display with state iconography like longhorn skulls, antlers, or cast iron stars.

-For a particularly dramatic effect, create a backdrop for photos from an old wagon wheel wreath wrapped in twinkling string lights.

-Incorporate elements of East Texas charm by using reclaimed wood signs with hand-painted messages like "Love is Sweet" or "Happily Ever After."

-Add vintage oil lanterns and hurricane lamps to your table settings for a country wedding feel.

-Feature a dessert table with traditional East Texas pecan pie, peach cobbler, or sweet tea cupcakes, decorated with gingham ribbons and lace.

For more traditional tablescapes, use colorful Mexican oil cloth or turquoise beaded table runners as a base. Then decorate with terra cotta pots spilling over with zinnias, marigolds, and lantana blooms or playful mini cactus and succulent favors for guests to take home.

Lighting and Other Elements

Highlight your Texas wedding with twinkling string lights and rustic lanterns creating a warm, enchanting ambiance.

Integrate these elements by wrapping string lights around pillars or hanging market lights above lounge areas. Place votive candles inside mason jars, vintage speckled enamel pitchers, or hollowed-out boots for quirky, country wedding accents.

In addition to your lighting, other whimsical touches could include hay bale rounds for cozy conversation nooks, galvanized tin watering cans spilling over with fresh florals, or an antique truck leaving your guest book and gift table.

For a fun interactive element, create a "picture yourself in Texas" backdrop using vintage doors, corrugated tin, or weathered wood where guests can snap fun pics using provided Texas-themed props like cowboy hats and bandanas.

Flowers and Color Palettes

Texas opens the door to so many beautiful bloom varieties and vivid, festive color palettes to incorporate throughout your wedding decor.

Some iconic floral options for your Texas wedding include prickly pear cactus, Indian blankets, Mexican sage, bluebonnets, sunflowers, roses, zinnias, and cosmos.

For rich, bold southwestern desert hues, build a palette around shades of burnt orange, earthy red, golden yellow, turquoise, and green.

Or take inspiration from a traditional Mexican serape blanket with jewel tones like fuchsia, green, and cobalt blue.

If you prefer a more rustic aesthetic, use muted earth tones like sage green, terracotta, and tan as a base accented with pops of earthy red, mustard yellow, and indigo. Or opt for an elegant take on southwestern style by pairing neutral tones of ivory and champagne with metallic copper and peach.

Infusing your wedding with personal flair makes it so much more meaningful. For Texas lovebirds, there's no better way to do that than by celebrating the sights, colors, and rustic charm of the Lone Star State through your decor and design.
