Dress Code: Semi-Formal to Formal
Theme: Walker in Wonderland Location: Garden ceremony, indoor ballroom reception Late March in Texas typically brings mild to warm weather, with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s in the evening to the high-70s during the day. While it may be breezy outdoors, the reception will offer a comfortable, climate-controlled indoor space.
