Lynn Besanceney and Kyle Grothues didn’t just get married—they threw a one-of-a-kind celebration at Sisterdale Dance Hall & Opera House, a historic gem in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Located just 13 miles north of Boerne, this venue, with its rustic charm and over a century of history, was the perfect setting for Lynn’s artistic flair and Kyle’s deep San Antonio roots.

A Ceremony Full of Heart (and bones)

Lynn brought her creative vision to life in a big way. Known for her work as the artist behind Pretty Pile of Bones, she walked down the aisle in a stunning black wedding dress (yes, you read that right!) with her two sons, Merek and Aron, by her side. Both boys wore camo to honor their papa, adding a heartfelt tribute to the day. Lynn also carried her papa close, with a brooch featuring his photo pinned at her hip—cue the happy tears! 🖤

But the personal touches didn’t stop there. Lynn had friends and family bring vintage brooches to her bridal shower, which she then attached to the train of her dress, creating a look that was uniquely hers. The ceremony was framed by the natural beauty of Sisterdale Dance Hall’s sprawling oak trees and twinkling lights, making for a magical fall wedding that was equal parts artistic and sentimental.

Antlers and Skeletons are the New Wedding Chic

Inside the hall, Lynn’s bold style came to life. From skeletons (a nod to her artistic side) to rich fall colors like deep oranges, golds, and reds, every detail reflected her creative spirit. The décor blended perfectly with the rustic ambiance of Sisterdale Dance Hall, which features a weathered tin roof and original wood floors made from 300-year-old longleaf pines.

The venue itself is a treasure trove of Texas Hill Country history, having hosted everything from opera performances to country music icons like George Strait. Couples looking for a wedding venue that blends rustic charm with historic character can’t go wrong with Sisterdale Dance Hall—it’s truly the best of both worlds for anyone planning a Hill Country wedding.

Forget Sparklers. This Texas Couple Chose Bubbles

As the night came to a close, Lynn and Kyle made their grand exit through a sea of bubbles that seemed to float endlessly into the night sky. With guests cheering and blowing bubbles, the newlyweds walked hand-in-hand under the twinkle of string lights, fully embracing the magic of the moment. Lynn’s black gown moved gracefully through the air, and Kyle, looking sharp in his bespoke suit by Image Ave Clothiers in San Antonio, couldn’t have been more dapper. The bubbles sparkled in the light, creating an ethereal send-off that was pure joy and celebration. It was the perfect ending to a day filled with love, creativity, and unforgettable memories, perfectly embodying the spirit of their one-of-a-kind wedding.
