Be sure to keep the secret gardens on the DL though -- we wouldn't to spoil the fun. Reporter: Alyssa Brown | Venue: Ballyfin

Maybe it’s all the gorgeous swimming holes surrounded by hills and wildflowers. Maybe it's all the down-home southern hospitality. Or maybe it's because Austin has the perfect blend of music, food, style and 'weird.' Whatever the reason, this cool Texan town is one of the top wedding destinations in the south where you can celebrate you and yours with personality to boot.    Austin’s best wedding venues range from straight-up old Western rustic barns in the Hill Country to gorgeous gardens and cool boutique hotels in heart of downtown. Whether you're looking to host a wedding in a modern industrial space or wanting something with more a vintage feel, there’s something for just about everyone ‘round these parts.   Reporter: Alyssa Brown 

In the twinkling desertscape of Texas, polished glass structures, invigorated by metal and stone, capture the eye and fascination of any traveler lucky enough to roll through the small town of Driftwood. As rural as it may be, Driftwood endures as a slice of Americana that melts a dreamer’s cowboy heart, so it’s fitting that tucked away in its countryside community is a spectacular home-on-the-range venue that’s equal parts stylish modernity and old-world elegance. The Greenhouse at Driftwood, owned by the same family for generations, has become a beloved destination for romantics wanting to tie the knot surrounded by century-old oaks and cacti. Just southwest of Austin, the venue is as much a savior of its surrounding environment as it is a key component of the scenery itself. The gorgeous open space uses rainwater collection as its primary source for flora and fauna alike, while helping conserve local wildlife and bird habitats. Plus, the grounds are beyond stunning.  

Going green can mean a multitude of things when it comes to talking about your wedding, a birthday, or maybe something as simple as an afternoon lunch with your girls. Maybe your wedding dress is made of natural materials, your birthday cake is made with 100% organic ingredients, and you had GMO-free spinach for lunch. Yes, going green can mean all of those things, but the green we’re referring to when talking about these magical days is the location. That’s right, you caught us! Greenhouse and glasshouse venues are full of all sorts of botanicals that you probably didn’t even know existed! Set yourself up to wed, party, or relax all while surrounded by a variety of plants, flowers, trees, gardens, cobblestone pathways, and ocean views! You know that scene in ‘The Sound Of Music’ where Julie Andrews sings, “The Hills Are Alive” and she’s spinning in front of the mountains with her arms wide open because everything is just so wonderful? Check out these 40 incredible greenhouse, glasshouse and conservatory event spaces, we have a feeling you may soon be spinning in joy too.  Written By Jordan Willner
