TRAVEL TIPS
Traffic Considerations
The closer you stay to Houston, the more you should plan for potential unexpected traffic when traveling to the venue.
Driving from Austin
We recommend taking Highway 290 instead of Highway 71 when leaving Austin for a smoother route.
WEATHER PREPARATION
⦿ While the dress code is cocktail attire, prioritize comfort based on the forecast.
⦿ For hotter weather: Consider linen clothing to stay cool under the Texas sun.
⦿ For cold weather: Houston’s humidity can make the cold feel more intense, so please pack accordingly.
⦿ Rain is always a possibility, so bring an umbrella or rain gear just in case.
Safe travels, and we can’t wait to see you! ♡
