During a romantic candlelit ceremony at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Rea Hasie (25 and a real estate agent) and Bill Netherton (26 and a fuel transportation manager) became husband and wife, and then they celebrated with a lavish feast and dancing at the elegant Riverhill Country Club in Kerrville, Texas. “We made the main focus of our wedding the Riverhill Country Club mansion, built in the early 1900s,” Rea says. “We knew not everyone could fit inside, so we had a tent over the lawn with chandeliers and lighting hung throughout.” A clear-top tent provided a romantic view of the stars during dinner and dancing, and the newlyweds decked out their alfresco affair with elegant lounge furniture, gold accents, crystal chandeliers, chinoiserie vases and ivory La Tavola linens. After the church ceremony, guests were welcomed to the country club with a happy hour that included a raw bar and passed hors d’oeuvres, along with a fried quail and beef tenderloin station. Friends and family sipped on the groom’s Ranch Waters drink, made with tequila, soda and lime, along with refreshing beverages from the signature rose wine and scotch bars. After dinner, the band Blind Date kept the dance floor packed. “Guests still talk about them,” Rea says of the rollicking band. The newlyweds' jubilant celebration concluded with a confetti exit. “Our entire wedding weekend was a dream,” Rea says. “It was so emotional, intimate and special.” —Marissa Hermanson

“Some of my favorite details were our paper goods,” says Rae, whose calligrapher designed the signs, programs and invitation suite. “It was like nothing I had ever seen, which was exactly what I wanted.” Even welcome bags were personalized.
“Carolina Herrera is one of my all-time favorite designers,” Rea says of her designer gown. “I fell in love with my dress's material, silhouette and neckline details. My shoes went perfectly, and I knew I wanted some sort of larger statement earrings.”
Bridesmaids looked glamorous in Mayan Blue Jenny Yoo gowns, and the groomsmen sported classic tuxes to match the groom’s.
“I wanted all-white flowers with lots of greenery but not too much,” Rea says. “I love spray roses, lilies, hydrangeas and peonies. We also incorporated magnolia leaves. Such a perfect addition for a November wedding.”
Romantic Jenny Yoo bridesmaid gowns perfectly complemented Rea’s chic Carolina Herrera gown.
Rea and Bill exchanged vows during an evening ceremony at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Kerrville, Texas, and they illuminated the chapel with candlelight to give the space a romantic feel. “It’s absolutely stunning without any decor, and we really wanted to show off the beauty,” Rea says.
“We made the main focus of our wedding the Riverhill Country Club mansion, built in the early 1900s,” Rea says. “We knew not everyone could fit inside, so we had a tent over the lawn with chandeliers and lighting hung throughout.”
“Our entire wedding weekend was a dream,” Rea says. “It was so emotional, intimate and special. There's nothing you can change or control when the weekend finally arrives, so try to relax and soak up every moment.”
The clear-top tent made for a romantic venue for dancing under the stars. Lounge furniture was situated under the tent so guests could relax, sip cocktails and socialize.
Catering was a top priority for Rea and Bill, and they had an array of food stations, from a raw bar to fried quail and beef tenderloin stations.
“Our favorite station was the raw bar,” Rea says. “It was over ice and included East Coast Blue Point oysters being shucked, Alaskan snow crab claws and Gulf shrimp.”
The newlyweds decked out their tented reception with elegant lounge furniture, Chinoiserie vases and ivory La Tavola linens. 

A classic white wedding cake was topped with hydrangeas. In addition, the newlyweds had a bananas Foster bar, which was a big hit with guests. “I had the cake table linen made custom with a trim I loved,” Rea says. “I had fun with every detail.”
