San Antonio Weddings Fair

On January 8, we particiapated in the San Antonio Weddings Fair at the JW Marriot. It was a wonderful event for everyone involved. We had the opportunity to meet brides from all over Texas!

Half the fun was designing and putting up our wonderful booth!

We created beautiful paper flowers to decorate the space. There were these large flowers decorating our main table, interspersed with glowing candles. We also had small flowers in moss that gave off a wonderful, organic feeling.

We put together and designed these beautiful frames with pictures of our weddings. The individual pictures were framed with creative chalk designs!

Boulder Springs, New Braunfels- June 2011

Lauren and Carl were united in Holy Matrimony at St.Peter/St.Paul Church in New Braunfels Texas. The bride looked regal as she walked down the isle to her First Lieutenant.

The couple had a Silver Shadow Rolls Royce, from Rolls Royce limos, transport them from the ceremony to the reception. At the end of the night they had a beautiful Corniche Convertible Rolls Royce take them away after the reception.

The reception was held at Boulder Springs. The bride and groom along with their guests enjoyed hors d' oeuvres and the couple's signature drink - a fruity sangria. A delicious, cold choice for a bright summer day! The French Connection designed the tables and flowers. A dynamic look was created throughout the room by using both short and tall centerpieces.

Since Carl and Lauren have such a special connection to the Marine Corps, they incorporated many special Marine personal touches to their wedding.

One of which was a "Missing Man Table". A Missing Man Table is a table specifically for those who couldn't make it to the wedding; whether it was because they were deployed to another country, or no longer with us. We set a table with simple dish setting, and added a beer and shot glass. It was such a great way to remember all their loved ones.
Secondly, Marine sword bearers created a sword arch for the bride and groom to enter the reception area. There were six uniformed sword bearers. Before being allowed to pass under each arch, the happy couple had to kiss. It was such a unique entrance!

The delicious groom's cake was in the shape of the Marine Corps seal. It was a wonderful way to commemorate both the groom and the father of the bride.

It was such a magical event, I'm glad we could be apart of it!

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.
