A Romantic Rustic Wedding at Vista West Ranch in Dripping Springs, Texas

Ashley Stanowski (28 and a fitness instructor) and Daniel Andersen (38 and an investment banker) took rustic romance to a new level at their Dripping Springs, Texas, wedding. “We knew before we even started looking at venues that we would get married near Austin,” Ashley says, since she and Daniel wanted to choose an exciting destination for their out-of-town guests. “We found Vista West Ranch through a relative and immediately fell in love with its natural Hill Country setting and rustic barn.” Wedding planner Kimberly Bentley with Coordinate This helped Ashley and Daniel create the day they envisioned with a pastel palette and vintage decor. The day began with a peaceful outdoor ceremony, where Ashley and Daniel said “I do” under a stunning lush floral wedding arch created by Petal Pushers. The cocktail hour took place in the Biergarten, where Ashley and Daniel joined their loved ones and relaxed to the sounds of deep house music. A reception in the barn followed, but this is no ordinary barn. Between the rustic overhead spheres filled with string lights, the wooden farm tables with antique place settings and natural floral decor, the display at Ashley and Daniel’s reception was nothing short of breathtaking.
