Austin bar owner's funky wedding pulls out a couple of surprises

Set against the backdrop of one of Austin’s most beautiful venues, Alex and Brandon Testa got hitched under the giant oak trees in Hotel Saint Cecilia [https: /hotelsaintcecilia.com/]’s backyard. The trendy venue provided a bohemian feel to the day adding to the wedding's funky elements. Untraditional features like mismatched bridesmaid gowns, no tie for the groom, macaroons and cupcakes on the dessert table, tarot card readings, and a quirky photo booth from Annie Ray helped keep the eclectic vibe alive. After dinner, guests piled into two trolleys (the Austin ‘Dillos) to head to the reception at East Austin’s Craftsman, which Brandon owns. Everyone was encouraged to pack in and stand in the aisles, which kept the party going from the hotel to the bar. Take a walk down the aisle of Alex and Brandon Testa’s playful and festive wedding.
