Houston Culture.
Embracing the vibrant culture of Houston can elevate your
wedding day from ordinary to extraordinary. Infusing local
flair into your celebration not only showcases your love for
the city but also creates a memorable experience for your
guests. Here are some tips to help you weave Houston’s
unique charm into your big day.
SERVE CLASSIC SOUTHERN
COMFORT FOODS
Delight your guests with a culinary journey through Houston’s
rich food scene. Consider a menu featuring classic Southern
comfort foods like fried chicken, shrimp and grits, and
mouthwatering barbecue brisket. Add a Tex-Mex twist with
tacos, enchiladas, or fajitas for a lively and delicious dining
experience that reflects the local flavor.
INFUSE LIVE ENTERTAINMENT
Enhance the atmosphere of your wedding with live
entertainment that highlights Houston’s cultural diversity. Hire
a mariachi band to serenade guests during cocktail hour,
creating a festive ambiance. Alternatively, consider local bands
that specialize in Texas country or zydeco music to get
everyone dancing and celebrating.
CREATE THEMED PHOTO BOOTHS
Capture the joy of your special day with a “Houston-inspired”
photo booth. Design a backdrop showcasing iconic Houston
landmarks and provide fun props like cowboy hats, boots,
and Space City signs. This interactive element not only adds a
playful touch to your celebration but also gives your guests a
unique keepsake to remember the day.
FEATURE LOCAL ART AND MUSIC
Showcase Houston’s vibrant art scene by displaying local
artwork at your reception or hiring a local artist to create a live
painting during your ceremony. For entertainment, consider a
live band that plays Texas country, blues, or even zydeco
music, creating a lively atmosphere that reflects Houston’s
musical heritage.
PERSONALIZE WITH LOCAL TRADITIONS
Incorporate unique Houston traditions into your wedding. For
instance, you might include a ceremonial “Texas Two-Step”
dance to get everyone on the floor or share a toast with locally
brewed craft beer. Consider a unique unity ceremony that
reflects Texas culture, like planting a tree together to symbolize
your growing love.
