The Setting: A Cozy East Austin Lounge Featured On Peerspace
Ana & Zoe’s magical day took place at a charming Peerspace in Austin – a 60s/70s-inspired house designed by the iconic Dani Klarić. It was like entering a Christy Anna Photography dreamland.
It had all my favorite things: bold colors, funky furniture, and an ultra-cool lounge style. From its vibrant walls to vintage-inspired details, the space was not only a perfectly-styled backdrop, but the kind of joy-filled space Ana & Zoe envisioned for saying “always & forever.” Designed for events and intimate gatherings, this gem of a location gave their day a totally dreamy & super nostalgic house-party energy.
Thinking about eloping in Austin, but want to ditch the usual venues or spots? Why not go all in and pick a spot that feels like you? I love that they chose a Peerspace event rental because it’s such an outside-the-box option for finding creative, hidden gems in the city. 10/10 would recommend!
Getting Ready: Colorful Vibes & A SWEET SURPRISE
Before walking down the aisle (or in this case, gathering in a retro chic living room), the couple and their doggos got ready on-site. Ana’s little white dress and edgy black boots paired perfectly with Zoe’s groovy, checkered suit. Just add in their pups, and the heartwarming scene is complete… or is it?
While their elopement started as an intimate affair, just the couple and their furry friends – but little did Ana know, a surprise was brewing. Under the radar, Zoe had invited their closest friends and fam to the elopement, showing up to surprise Ana and join in on their celebration. It was the sweetest surprise, adding so much joy to their little gathering.
Love, Cake & Dancing
