Kendall + Ford | Rustic Western Chic Wedding at Gruene Estate

If Vogue ever dedicated an issue to the West, Kendall and Ford would be on the cover. Their wedding weekend was effortless yet unforgettable—anchored in the natural beauty of Texas Hill Country and styled with a flawless rustic western chic vision.

The festivities began with a rehearsal dinner at the historic Gristmill Bar & Grill in Gruene. Friends and family gathered under the oak trees and twinkling lights, sharing laughter, toasts, and plates of classic Texas fare while the Guadalupe River flowed nearby. It was the perfect kickoff to a weekend brimming with love and celebration.

The following day, guests arrived at Gruene Estate, where the open-air chapel and rolling fields set the stage for a ceremony that felt both intimate and cinematic. Every detail was thoughtfully curated by Dwell in the Details, who masterfully blended rustic charm with elevated, modern touches.

We brought the floral vision to life, combining earthy textures and romantic blooms that complemented the chapel and reception. The design felt natural yet sophisticated, reflecting the couple’s style and the beauty of the surrounding Hill Country.

Kendall’s bridal look, perfectly executed by Southern Tease, was timeless and radiant, while Ford’s western-inspired details added personality and charm. Every moment was captured with artistry by Jenna Brooke Clark Photography and Moments By Gabby documented candid, behind-the-scenes moments that added an extra layer of storytelling to the day.

The reception was a true celebration of Texas spirit and elegance. Guests enjoyed dinner from River City Catering, sipped cocktails provided by River City Bartending, and indulged in a decadent cake from Olive and Aries alongside custom treats from Cookies By Caroline. The Royal Dukes Band kept the dance floor alive, made even more memorable with the custom setup from Hill Country Dance Floors. Linen details from BBJ La Tavola and curated rentals from Party at the Moontower elevated the entire aesthetic.

Transportation by Charter Up guests could enjoy the weekend stress-free, moving seamlessly from the welcome party to the estate for the big day. From start to finish, every moment felt thoughtful, joyous, and effortlessly chic—true to Kendall and Ford’s vision.

From the first cheers at the Gristmill to the last dance under the Texas stars, their wedding was a weekend that perfectly captured love, personality, and the spirit of Hill Country.
