Planning a wedding in 2026 or 2027 and need some ideas? Gather inspiration on how to decorate your venue right outside of Austin!
New Braunfels, Texas, with its stunning hill country backdrop, offers a perfect setting for a wedding at any time of year. Whether you’re planning a springtime celebration or dreaming of a cozy winter wedding, your venue can be transformed to reflect the beauty of each season. We will help you explore seasonal wedding ideas and show how your New Braunfels venue can adapt for every season, no matter what season you say “I do.”
Spring Weddings: Blooming with Beauty
Spring in New Braunfels is a time of renewal, with blooming flowers and mild temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor weddings. Think bright and bold color palettes, such as coral, blush, lavender, and soft yellows! You can easily incorporate these colors into your flowers, table settings, and even your bridesmaids' dresses.
Venue Transformation: Embrace the natural beauty of your venue with flowing ceiling drapery, big windows, and a garden ceremony site. Use seasonal flowers like peonies, tulips, and daffodils for bouquets and centerpieces. Here at the Hidden Gem, we love to see springtime outdoor weddings, perfectly complemented by our outdoor bar!
Decor Ideas: Cover tables with garden-inspired centerpieces, hanging floral installations, and greenery garlands to give a fresh, organic feel. You could even set up a beautiful indoor ceremony space with plenty of fresh or faux florals!
Incorporate Local Touches: Use local wildflowers, such as bluebonnets or Indian paintbrush, to bring in that New Braunfels charm! A DIY flower bar for guests to create their own mini bouquets could add a fun and interactive element. Custom sugar cookies with your monogram or floral bouquet cupcakes could add a sweet touch for your guests as well.

Summer Weddings: Texas Sun Soaked Love
Summer in New Braunfels brings hot weather but also long days and beautiful sunsets, perfect for indoor ceremonies and outdoor receptions. If you’re planning a summer wedding, consider using the natural elements to your advantage! The Hidden Gem offers effortlessly beautiful indoor ceremonies as well as outdoor ceremonies. Enjoy the sunset and cooler weather during your reception while avoiding the heat inside for your ceremony!
Venue Transformation: Set up a stunning outdoor reception area with string lighting or chandeliers hanging from trees, creating a glamorous atmosphere as the sun sets. A shaded outdoor ceremony space and covered patio can help keep guests cool and comfortable. At the Hidden Gem, our guests love to get drinks at the patio bar and enjoy the oak tree shade while playing yard games and chatting at bistro tables.
Decor Ideas: Opt for lightweight, airy fabrics like linen for tablecloths and drapery. For centerpieces, you could go with tropical touches or Italian summer charm, with palms and sunflowers or citrus elements and blue tones. A mix of rustic and bohemian styles could bring a relaxed yet chic vibe to your big day!
Refreshing Additions: Keep guests cool with fun stations, like a refreshing lemonade or iced tea stand, or even a popsicle bar for a tasty touch! A light, fresh menu with seasonal fruits and chilled dishes (like a salad bar or seafood platter) will complement the warmth of the season! We love to work with Southern Standard Bar, which makes an amazing frozen margarita!

Fall Weddings: Cozy and Warm with a Touch of Rustic Charm
Fall in New Braunfels is a magical time, with crisp air and golden foliage. Keep an eye out for deer and other sweet woodland creatures. This season is perfect for couples looking for a romantic yet bohemian feel.
Venue Transformation: Your venue can easily be transformed into a cozy, autumnal haven with warm hues of orange, red, burgundy, and gold. Think candle-lit receptions, soft lighting, and rustic wooden details. The gorgeous elevated ceilings at the Hidden Gem of Gruene bring in the warm rustic tones that your fall wedding needs!
Decor Ideas: Bring the fall season indoors with earthy touches. Think pumpkins, pinecones, and wooden chargers. For the reception, consider incorporating deep-colored florals like dahlias, mums, and roses. A mix of lace, pampas grass, and wood can give the decor a warm, bohemian feel.
Seasonal Touches: A hot chocolate bar or mulled wine station would be perfect for your guests to warm up! Consider a seasonal menu, like hearty comfort foods. We would recommend roasted meats, fall-inspired salads, and spiced desserts.

Winter Weddings: Cozy and Elegant with Rustic Charm
Winter weddings in New Braunfels are perfect for couples who want an intimate, cozy celebration with a touch of elegance. While temperatures may dip, the atmosphere can be warm and inviting, with not much chance of snow!
Venue Transformation: For a winter wedding, create a magical, fairy-tale ambiance with sparkling lights, candles, and soft textures. Think of your venue as a canvas for soft, romantic winter decor, like white or ivory drapery, glowing candlelight, and holiday elements.
Decor Ideas: You can use a palette of whites, golds, silvers, and deep greens to evoke the serene beauty of winter. If that doesn't sound like your aesthetic, go with a moody deep theme, dark reds, jewel tones and blacks with touches of gold. Pinecones, frosted greenery, and sprigs of holly can be added to your table settings. Faux fur or velvet accents add a cozy, luxe touch.
Cozy Additions: Bring in a coffee truck like Traveling Toms to give your guests a warm boost of energy, or bring in some vintage furniture like comfy sofas and chairs for a glamorous vintage touch.
