Dress Shopping

Today, Destiny and me went on a dress shopping/"save the date" adventure. Alyssa at Mayfair Bridal was AWESOME she was able to help us find just what we were looking for. Then, we were off to Finders Keepers (Invitations and Gifts) to brainstorm ideas for the unique Carnival theme. Ann and Jan over there are ROCKSTARS, if you are looking for something different and fabulous make an appointment. I can't wait to see the photos from Destiny and Rob's engagement session at SIX FLAGS!!! Gerri from Photographically Ever After (http://www.pea-info.com/) will be capturing all their special moments.

Here are a few pictures...

Love the bird cage: These have made a comeback and are super HOT!

Winter Wonderland at the Westin La Cantera

We were invited to a networking event at "Frost", the Westin La Cantera (http://www.westinlacantera.com/) has transformed their property to a Winter Wonderful for their guests to enjoy! Order some hot cocoa and have some fun ice skating! Krystle and I took advantage of the Outdoor ice skating rink. I can honestly say I've never been ice skating outside in San Antonio! This venue is a great place for a small to medium weddings, with all the amenties and services they offer.

Here are a few pictures from our night out...

 Rudy (Westin catering manager) showed us some of his skating moves. He could be on Ice Skating with the Stars.

Thanks, Lindsay for inviting the SAWEC team!

Theresa and Richard

Here are some of the GREAT photos from Theresa's bridal session at the Mission and their BIG DAY taken by Philip Thomas (http://www.philipphotography.com/)

 Ceremony took place at the breath-taking historic Little Flower Basilica Catholic Church.

 The group took two white limos to the River Barge at the Convention Center to be dropped off at the Weston Centre (http://www.westoncentre.com/)  for a night of delicious food by Heavenly Gourmet http://www.heavenlyg.com/), Elms Bakery (http://www.elmsbakeshop.com/), dancing provided by DJ Ray and Yvonne (http://www.musicfloinc.com/) and fun!

 They were greeted by Los Galleros (http://www.losgalleros.net/) down by the river entrance. As they mariachis played everyone blew bubbles and welcomed them to the party.

Coming Soon...Look for a "Real Wedding" article on Theresa and Richard's perfect day in the

Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Juarez

On Saturday, September 25th Erica and Isaac joined families and friends on their new life as husband and wife. Kristen from Urth Studio (http://www.urthstudio.com/) was the photographer and helped capture their perfect day.

 The ceremony and reception took place at The Vineyards. Tucked away on Hwy 3009 this venue is a unique wine vineyard with a elegant atmosphere.

Leticia from Freesia Designs (http://www.freesiadesigns.com/) wowed us with her floral and linens. Erica picked two beautiful colors of soft pink and gold.

If you love her shoes, she custom made them for her special day. The reverse side had the date in the same letters.

 It had rained that day and everyone stayed dry and looked fabulous!

 Elms Bakery (http://www.elmsbakeshop.com/) did both the four tier traditional vanilla/butter cream cake and the custom guitar groom's cake that was a replica of Isaac actual guitar.

 Sweet Soiree came from Corpus to deliver her creative candy station with custom tags made by SAWEC:)

 With the firework send off Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Juarez lived happily ever after!
