When longtime Austinites Blair and Corey chose the Commodore Perry Estate for their wedding, they knew they wanted something timeless and beautiful—but also full of personality and fun. With Lexie of 787 Events leading the way, their celebration struck the perfect balance: refined and romantic, yet totally unpretentious.
Having been a bridesmaid in sixteen weddings, Blair had a front-row seat to what works—and what doesn’t. Her own day felt like the joyful culmination of all that experience: full of intention, emotion, and a deep sense of celebration.
The ceremony was nothing short of magical. Inside the chapel, real blossoming trees transformed the space into something ethereal and storybook-like. Lush greenery framed the stage where Blair and Corey said “I do,” adding an organic softness to the historic venue. But what really brought the whole day to life was Blair herself. Her laughter was constant, contagious, and completely unfiltered—she radiated joy from the moment she slipped into her dress to the moment she jumped in the pool that night.
After a sun-drenched cocktail hour on the terrace, guests made their way into the Rose Garden, where a sailcloth tent set the scene for an elegant outdoor dinner. As golden hour settled in, long tables, candlelight, and garden florals created a dreamy, European-inspired atmosphere.
But the evening wasn’t over yet. In a clever and seamless transition, the ceremony chapel was flipped during dinner and turned into a dance floor and cake-cutting space. Guests returned to find it glowing and reimagined, ready for the party to begin—and party they did. The dance floor stayed packed until late into the night, and in one final celebratory moment, Blair and Corey leapt into the pool in their wedding attire, a perfect end to a day that was equal parts classic and carefree.
If you’re dreaming of a wedding that combines timeless design with pure joy, this celebration at the Commodore Perry Estate proves you really can have both.
