Texas Hill Country can be a place where you seek out seasonal creeks and swimming holes, or a place where you escape to sit in the stillness of vast golden landscapes filled with prairie grasses and giant oak trees. Whatever setting it is you’re after, there’s likely a wedding venue tucked somewhere in the mix. There’s a century-old pharmacy that sets an ideal backdrop for a vintage-style wedding. There’s a cypress tree lined creek with something akin to a summer camp set just beside it. There’s an imported French Colonial chapel in the hills. There’s even a yacht club in Hill Country. You name it, we’ve found it. And today, we’re sharing our favorite finds of the area. Reporter: Alyssa Brown

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 

There’s something pretty wonderful about a wedding at a barn. You’re often away from the city, hidden from the world, and surrounded by nature. The sun stretches its beams in full during the ceremony and the moon watches over the festivities of the reception. It’s a really good deal. We love all kinds of barns, from peaceful forest scenes in the Pacific Northwest to sprawling lawn offerings in the South. There’s a storybook quality to them and it always seems like the most welcoming atmosphere and spirited celebration around. That’s why we put together the latest edition of this annual collection. Make sure to check out the previous editions of our favorite wedding barns in America as well, because it seems like that’s where the best times happen.  By: Jake Kilroy

Always with her artistic finger on the pulse of what’s tropical, cool, and yet to be discovered, Solange Knowles recently trekked her production crew from the streets of New Orleans to the back roads of New Mexico, all to capture two awesome music videos for her album, A Seat At The Table. And since we do our best to keep our fingers on the pulse of tropical, cool and yet to be discovered venues, we did a little digging to find out where these gorgeous videos set all their artistic scenes. From museums to monuments, white sands to industrial steel backdrops, there’s nothing dull about this selection of scenery. Warning: A trip to The South may be in order after flipping through this list.   By: Alyssa Brown 

For those who haven’t scoped out Solange’s latest album drop, A Seat At The Table is arguably her best work to date. While the combination of cool spoken word and seriously badass beats makes the album shine, the music video for Cranes in The Sky is equally as rad. The video production squad landed hot and heavy in the little Hill Country town of Kyle, Texas during a deluge of August rain and captured Solange dancing in a modern steel structure with the tropical southern backdrop in all its lush glory. This rad architectural spot is none other than one of our favorite Texas venues, The Plant at Kyle. Venue owner Mark Holzbach recently caught up with us about hosting the film production at his property and filled us in on a bit of behind-the-scenes action. He also has a few recommendations for anyone making the trek to Kyle. Words by Mark Holzbach
