Here in San Antonio, we have been working through an unusually cold winter that has us longing for Spring weddings equipped with warmer weather and floral design! Looking back on last year, we still think about how much we enjoyed wedding planning a garden inspired Jewish wedding that brought family and friends from all over the world to San Antonio, Texas. Our Bride and Groom lived on the opposite sides of the country from one another and selected us to plan their destination wedding right here in San Antonio! Nearly all of their 300 guests were from out of town!
We spent countless hours perfecting every single detail of this large, outdoor wedding. As with all of our out of town clients, we had several “power meetings” with them when they were able to come to San Antonio to meet. Then just three days before the wedding, San Antonio was hit with heavy rain, completely waterlogging the original outdoor venue (San Antonio Botanical Gardens) and it was not going to be dry in time for the wedding! We were faced with having to call each the bride and the groom, who were both getting on airplanes from their different cities to travel here for their wedding, to tell them that the wedding would not be feasible at the Botanical Gardens. We explained the situation but informed the good news was that we had a new venue that just happened to be available and let them know we felt confident we could make the switch. They both said they trusted us and let us work our magic. Our team worked to rearrange the entire wedding accordingly. It was truly one of those moments where having a wedding planner helped the couple remain stress-free and enjoy their special day! As we say, we felt the bumps for our client so they could continue to enjoy their wedding. In the end, we all agreed that the wedding turned out to be perfect and the new venue, the Mc Nay Art Museum, and felt like it was meant to be! Photos by: Jeremy Minnerick
Longing for a truly unique wedding destination? Want to take your wedding away but not to a beach or other traditional destination wedding venue? Consider Antigua, Guatemala. Antigua, Guatemala is a Spanish colonial city in Central America. Famous for its well-preserved Spanish Baroque-influenced architecture as well as a number of ruins of colonial churches. The city literally feels frozen in time. Travel is very easy to Antigua via Guatemala City that is just 40 miles away. There are many things for you and your guests to see and do when visiting Antigua. Guests can stroll the cobblestone streets and explore the many Catholic churches, visit a chocolate maker, tour a Jade factory or hike up one of the volcanoes overlooking the city for amazing views. Also near by there is deep sea fishing off the Pacific Coast that is approximately 1 hour away, a championship golf course near by that sits in the shadows of active volcanoes, historic Mayan ruins are a day trip away, there are coffee plantations to tour and so much more to do. Antigua offers many boutique hotels, gourmet restaurants and markets in the small 9 square blocks of the city. The best time to visit is during their dry season which is November-April but weddings are best November-March. This is a destination that is rich with culture and ready to greet couples and their guests to make a memorable wedding away. I look forward to returning with my next wedding couple! photos by Pixan Photography
