A San Antonio Soiree

Bouquet

They say everything is bigger in Texas, so when we went to San Antonio for a client we knew we had to go big or go home or so they say. I loved how this bride wanted to combine the girly side of her personality with more masculine details typical of the locale- pinks, sequins, and florals paired with antlers and kraft paper materials.  As much as white bridal bouquets are lovely in their own right, this colorful one made a “big” impact… and I found this vintage ribbon on a scouting trip in NY and was saving it for the perfect pairing.

Printed materials Collage

Lettered Olive created a custom monogram with entwined horns that was used throughout the printed materials… Canvas shoe bags full of local goodies welcomed everyone to Texas…

b&g outside church

The bride wore a custom gown by Texas based designer, Nardos Imam.

Ceremony Collage

Luckily this church was flexible with allowing us to bring in lots of design elements (many aren’t as open to that), so we draped greenery from the pews and covered the harsher red carpet with a more bridal white runner.

drinks on tray

Since we don’t see much of the formal introduction of the wedding party, we had custom coasters made for cocktail hour with the Couples’ announcement on it…

LO Collage

Guests found their seating selections on an antler adorned board covered in a floral fabric we found that the bride fell in love with..

tent awning

I’m loving building awnings over our tent entrances, who wouldn’t waiting to see what’s inside???!!!

dining room overall

Sequined linens draped so nicely over the dining tables.. the room was awash in a glowing light- did you know that pink is one of the most flattering colors on all? The cake was the focal point of the room under a canopy covered in edging by Boutique Tents.

place setting

Embroidered dinner napkins were placed along the head table, giving the bride and groom a nice collection to have in their home after the wedding.

dessert Collage

There was no shortage of sweets at this wedding. From the 5 tiered cake, to the dessert bar with the prettiest array of treats.

servers in aprons

We embroidered aprons for the servers to wear in the lounge, giving the appearance that the guests were truly guests of the couple that evening.

Lounge Collage

Custom cabana tents provided little nooks around the dance floor for guests to take an intimate break and catch up with a friend.

going away car

This floral covered going away car made quite a statement and a lasting impression for guests- Texas style.

Thank you to Liz Banfield for the lovely images.
