Lauren & Joey March 13, 2010

Lauren and Joey were married on March 13, 2010 at the historic St. Anthony Hotel in downtown San Antonio. This site is where Joey proposed to Lauren over Valentine’s Day in 2009 so of course the St. Anthony has special meaning to them.

Lauren was a very busy bride who had very little time to plan her wedding, so she enlisted the help of her mom Judy. Judy then turned to us to help bring the event together. We worked with Judy to plan Lauren's wedding with the guidelines and inspiration Lauren provided us in her absence. Lauren wanted purples, blacks and ivory with hints of green. We brought in stunning eggplant linens and black Chiavari chairs to create an elegant classic look to the room.

Guests enjoyed cocktails and scrumptious hors’d oeuvres in the St. Anthony’s famous Peacock Alley while listening to a classical guitar duo provided by The French Connection.

The guests were then invited into the ballroom for dinner. There was an array of food stations for the guest to enjoy. After cake and the toasts came the first dances. The bride surprised her mom and dad by selecting the same song her parents first danced to at their wedding as her dance with her dad. Halfway through the song her mom Judy was invited on to the dance floor to dance with her husband. It was a beautiful moment of the evening. We brought in a photo booth for all of the guests to enjoy during the evening. Everyone had so much fun. This was a wonderful event and we truly enjoyed working with this family to create the perfect event for them.
