A Timeless Winter Wedding at Hotel Vin
Set against the stunning backdrop of Hotel Vin in Grapevine, Texas, their day was filled with thoughtful details, classic romance, and an effortless charm that made every moment unforgettable.
They exchanged vows surrounded by soft candlelight and romantic floral arrangements of ivory and lush greenery. The floor-to-ceiling arched windows framed their ceremony beautifully, allowing natural light to pour in as they said their vows.
One of the most unforgettable moments of the day was when Nick and Claire took to the streets of Downtown Grapevine for portraits. With the historic clock tower in the background, the two shared a just-married glow, stealing kisses and twirling in the streets as onlookers cheered them on. These spontaneous moments—the ones you can’t plan—are always the most magical.
The intricate & Personalized details
From their glamorous first dance under chandeliers to the heartfelt toasts that had the entire room misty-eyed, the reception was a true reflection of their love—elegant yet full of life. As the night carried on, Nick and Claire danced, laughed, and celebrated with their closest friends and family before sneaking away for some breathtakingly romantic portraits in the hotel’s intimate spaces.
Thoughtfully curated moments made their wedding feel distinctively theirs. Nick’s cinematic groom’s lounge portraits added a touch of moody sophistication, while the candlelit tables, elegant floral arrangements by @flowerhousedallas, and signature details seamlessly tied the day together, creating a warm and luxurious atmosphere. Every choice was intentional, refined, and deeply personal—a true reflection of their love story.
