Lola and James’ winter wedding at Lazy S Hacienda in Weatherford, Texas was a masterclass in modern luxury with a distinctly Western edge. Set against the expansive Texas landscape, their December 7th celebration blended dark winter tones, rich textures, and sculptural florals into a wedding day that felt both intimate and unapologetically bold.
Designed with intention and deep personal meaning, this wedding seamlessly wove Colombian warmth with Chicago sophistication, resulting in a celebration that felt layered, eclectic, and effortlessly refined.
A Modern Texas Wedding with Western Edge
From the moment guests arrived at Lazy S Hacienda, the atmosphere was set. The venue’s rustic elegance provided the perfect foundation for a design that leaned modern without losing its Texas soul. Moody winter hues, tactile materials, and architectural floral installations created visual depth while maintaining a sense of warmth and intimacy.
The wedding designer/planner, Ammie Marie Weddings, described the aesthetic perfectly:
“A modern Texas wedding with Western edge, dark winter tones, rich textures and sculptural florals set the mood. Intimate and luxurious, the design blends Colombian warmth with Chicago sophistication for a celebration that feels bold, eclectic and deeply personal.”
Every detail from the ceremony layout to the reception tablescape felt curated yet relaxed, luxurious yet grounded.
Thoughtful Fashion & Elevated Details
Lola’s gown was a true statement, timeless yet modern, perfectly complementing the refined Western aesthetic. The bridesmaids’ looks added texture and tonal depth, while James and his groomsmen embodied classic sophistication with a contemporary edge.
From stationery design to the bar experience, every detail contributed to a cohesive story one that honored culture, place, and personal style.
A Weatherford Wedding Venue That Does It All
Lazy S Hacienda continues to be one of Weatherford’s most sought-after wedding venues, and this day was a perfect example of why. The property’s versatility allows for both grand design moments and quiet, intimate experiences, making it ideal for couples who want a wedding that feels luxurious without feeling overproduced.

"She captured all the fun moments without us feeling like we were constantly posing."
Ashley did our engagement photos and our wedding day photos and was so wonderful! In downtown Fort Worth, she knew all the best little nooks for sunset photos. At our wedding in Dripping Springs, she captured all the fun moments without interrupting the flow, which is exactly what I wanted.
