Olivia Flowers has nailed down two important details for her upcoming nuptials.
After a day of wedding dress shopping at New York City’s Bridal Reflections, the “Southern Charm” alum told us — Evan Real and Danny Murphy, co-hosts of Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” — that she will be exchanging vows with fiancé Alex Williams in Texas this November.
“We’re deciding between two venues. I’m pretty sure which one I’m leaning towards and that’s the one that we’ve gotten a little further with food and stuff. It’s in Westlake. It’s where I used to live in Texas, so there’s sentimental value there,” she shared during lunch at New York City’s Gemma, filmed for Page Six’s “24 Hours” series presented by Tri-State Cadillac.
“It’s a beautiful, beautiful space. And they don’t do weddings often,” Flowers, 33, teased, “so this will be their first real, real big wedding event. So I’m excited.”
The former reality star — who currently resides in Charlotte, NC, with financier Williams, 34 — noted that she briefly considered tying the knot in Charleston, SC, where she used to live and film her unscripted Bravo series.
“I looked strongly at Charleston because I was obviously there and it’s this huge, huge wedding capital. So we did look there for a while,” she said, adding that she also thought about walking down the aisle in California’s Napa Valley.
“We actually considered Napa … but it’s far for where our guests are coming from,” Flowers explained.
The bride-to-be said she ultimately decided on Westlake — a suburb of Dallas — because it “felt like home” as she and Williams once lived their together. While she has yet to reveal the name of her potential venue, she teased that “the space is really special” to the couple.
Flowers admitted that she never expected to get married in the fall, though.
“I actually always thought I wanted a spring wedding but I was in Dallas in November last year and it was so beautiful. It was in the 70s,” she said. “And I was just like, ‘If we can carry this into next year, I’m solid on this.’”
Flowers — who announced her engagement to Williams in October 2024 after he popped the question during a romantic stay at Manhattan’s JW Marriott Essex House — exited “Southern Charm” last year following two consecutive seasons.
She told Page Six that only two stars from the show will be making the guest list, including Leva Bonaparte — who announced her own departure from “Southern Charm” in March — and Venita Aspen, who has appeared on the series since 2020.
“Leva and [her husband] Lamar [Bonaparte], they’re close family friends and I would love to have them there,” Flowers said. “I think we just want to keep it to the close knit people … [and] Venita. That would be it.”
