Megan & Dean - Winter Wedding

Witte Museum

The Witte Museum was the setting for Megan and Dean's February 4th Winter Wedding.    As you know, we LOVE the Witte Museum! It offers so much versatility.    We worked with Megan and her mother to plan the wedding.  They were so much fun!   In the middle of planning the wedding Megan moved to Oklahoma to be closer to Dean.  This made the planning long distance but we were still able to create exactly what Megan had envisioned.    

Megan wanted a Winter Wonderland inspired wedding.    Navy, white and silver where the colors.    In the planning Megan informed she had some friends who were florists....This generally does not turn out good when a client says this...but this time it was a wonderful surprise that her friends truly were very talented florists.    We did not have a huge budget but Mandarin Flower Co. was able to create a simplistic design that made the style of the wedding look clean and modern instead of thrifty!

Embracing the winter season, and working with a smaller budget, we were able to select a few items to make statements.  Illuminated columns for the ceremony with white branches created a simplistic, yet striking ceremony site. White chiavari chairs paired with slate colored linens translated an amazing winter wonderland inspired reception.   When watching your budget you want to want to pick a few things to make a statement with.  These touches will stand out and help make your event.    

Megan personalized their wedding by having her father make red and white wine in miniature bottles for guests to take home as a their wedding favor.   Megan and Dean also asked all of their guests to complete an Ad-lib about their wedding day and put it a box for the couple to keep as a reminder of the special family & friends that shared their day.  This was so much fun!!!

The guests danced the night away to the music played by the DJ of The French Connection.   This group loved to dance and they had a great time!

Witte Museum, San Antonio- April 2011

Krisse and Joshua were married on April 2011 at the beautiful Witte Museum in San Antonio, Texas. It was a gorgeous day as the couple said their vows in the Prassel Backyard, underneath a Bizan Huppah with pink floral, designed by The French Connection.

The day started with hair and make-up for the bride and her bridesmaids at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, done by The French Connection. The bride gave her bridesmaids the option to wear mismatching dresses to suit everyone. The only rule was to us the same fabric. The result was a picture perfect bridal party.

The bride and groom shared their first dance to "I Only Have Eyes for You" by The Flamingos. After that the guests enjoyed dancing the night away to a mixture of 90's R&B, rock, and Texas swing; all supplied by The French Connection's popular DJ.

At the end of the night, the bride and groom made their departed to the song "Rockin' the Suburbs" by Ben Golds Five as they left in a 1975 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow.

Check out a few of the amazing pictures below, taken by our very own photographers at The French Connection!

These beautiful programs were designed to match the invitations and menus! All of which were designed and printed by The French Connection.

These shepherds hooks with laterns and flowers were the perfect choice for pew decorations to accent the setting and feel of the entire event.

This cake was baked by The Elm's Bake Shoppe. The fresh flowers were provided by The French Connection.

Witte Museum, San Antonio- March 2011

On March 2011, Holly Keyt and Colin Son were married at the Witte Museum, here in San Antonio. Their reception was held in one of the ballrooms at the Witte, while the ceremony was held in the beautiful courtyard. The bride and groom had their first dance to "Make You Feel My Love", the same song Colin proposed to.

Instead of a traditional wedding cake, the couple had different cakes on antique stands at every table. In place of table numbers, guests were guided to their seat by the name of the cake that sat on that table.

The wedding is featured on Style Me Pretty! Go check it out and leave a comment. They love to hear what you think over at Style Me Pretty.

Below are a few photos from the wedding. Thank you to Perez Photography!

These adorable postcards were attached to welcome bags that the bride and groom put together for their out of town guests.

These beautiful paper flowers were handmade by the mother of the bride! The rustic sign was custom made to guide the guests to the ceremony location on the museum grounds.

Succulants were used as both placecard holders and gifts for the guests to take home at the end of the night.

Witte Museum, San Antonio- June 19, 2010

Jacqueline and Tom were married on June 19, 2010 at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. The reception that followed was at the Witte Museum. For their wedding, the bride selected shades of silver and white, with accents of an icy blue to create a very elegant look. We carried these colors throughout the entire wedding- from their programs and menus to signage. The guests enjoyed music by our favorite Mariachi group during their cocktail hour outside of the reception. Jacqueline and Tom’s guests then enjoyed dinner inside an amber lit room. After dinner, the band lured everyone onto the dance floor for a night filled with fun and laughter!

Paula and John May 24, 2009

Paula and John are from Houston and recently got married here at St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Church. The reception followed at the beautiful Witte Museum. Paula wanted to incorporate her love of the gorgeous Oak trees at the museum throughout her event. We added a tree design to her wedding invitations, menus and wedding favors. We had planned on an outdoor reception, but Mother Nature had different plans. Because of the rain we had to move inside, but still had a lovely cocktail hour outside. The bride and groom love Mojitos so of course we had them as their specialty drink perfectly named a "Marry Me Mojito" This was my first Greek wedding and I just loved watching all the dancing!! It was so much fun to watch. I do not know where my bride got all her energy! The guest favors were adorable. The bride and groom used their initials, PB&J to inspire the creative idea of giving the guests small jars of peanut butter and jelly. It was a wonderful day! I hope to post pictures soon!

Kristin & Clay March 14, 2009

Oh my gosh! I never thought this wedding would come together!!!

I worked with Kristin for months planning a gorgeous outdoor wedding and reception. We planned the entire event to take place at the Witte Museum. Kristin wanted her event to be entirely outside. We planned on creating different spaces throughout the Witte property.

The week of the wedding a terrible cold front and rain was predicted to ruin the event we had worked so hard to plan.

On Wednesday before the wedding it was decided that we were going to be forced to move the entire event inside. This meant accommodating 320 guests inside. It was a very tight squeeze and a VERY limited set up time but with all of my lists and planning it came together without a hitch!

I transformed the Witte's main ballroom and hung paper lanterns from the ceiling for a dramatic affect.

The band we hired was AMAZING! We had a photo booth for guests to take snapshots in. This acted as on of the favors. For the kiddos I had a balloon artist come in.

We had Izze cocktails for the specialty drink. Yum!!! I am craving one right now! Look for this wedding to be featured in the next issue of San Antonio Weddings Magazine!

Philip Thomas took these gorgeous pictures of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
