Mi Amor: While Lee’s sole focus was making sure Emily got the wedding of her dreams, the bride was equally concerned with her groom loving their wedding as much as she did. “It was so cute how much they adore each other,” says Katy.

Champagne & Chanel’s Emily Herren Ties The Knot in Not One But Four Gorgeous Gowns—See Them All!

Emily Herren & Lee Travis
October 2, 2021

On October 2, 2021, fashion influencer Emily Herren wed Lee Travis at the Commodore Perry Estate in Austin. The day was a design feat for the pros involved, as inclement weather forced a last-minute change of plans. With just a few days’ notice, Emily’s team—which included Todd Fiscus and Alex Stergiou of Todd Events and Katy Preisler of Keely Thorne Events—moved the ceremony indoors, filling the on-site chapel with blooms to bring the lushness of the property inside. The reception echoed the old-time glamour of the venue, with a clear tent lined in twinkling lights and timeless black-and-white tiled floors. But true to her fashion-forward roots, Emily’s trio of striking ensembles that evening stole the show. Says Alex, “She kept it classic, but she started trends.”

Love, Mom

Emily’s mother, who owns a monogramming shop, embroidered cloth napkins for the event bearing a custom duogram created by K. Laine Design.

Floral Design

Class Act

Floral and wedding designer Todd Fiscus’ goal was to create a design that complemented the historic design of the Commodore Perry mansion. “We wanted it to feel classic and elegant,” he says. Pedestals and floral arrangements appear to float over the venue’s pool to stunning effect.
