One of the sweetest trends we’ve been seeing is a new spin on the “Mr. and Mrs.” chairs. In San Antonio, brides often opt for the “sweetheart table” – a table at the head of the room for the newlyweds. However, we absolutely love the “Mr. and Mrs.” chair decor that can take a wide variety of forms to signify the reserved seats for the host and hostess.

Check out some recent weddings from across the country – perhaps you can incorporate this idea into your upcoming wedding! Give us a call, we’re here to help plan your reception – 210/340-1770.

Last weekend we provided full service catering for a gorgeous wedding at the AT&T Community Centre at San Fernando Cathedral. This spacious, modern event space is perfect for weddings of varied sizes – including this lively 300 person wedding celebration.

The bride selected black and ivory linens, accented with single red roses in small cylinder glass vases with floating votive candles. Gold chargers added a touch of elegance.

Our catering staff included bartenders and a margarita machine. Following cocktails, the menu included:

Grilled marinated beef and chicken fajitas
served with warmed corn and flour tortillas

Choice of pico de gallo, sour cream, frilled sweet peppers and onions
cheddar and monterrey cheeses, salsa verde and picante salsa

Served alongside beans a la charra and mexican style rice

Freshly brewed iced tea and premium coffee

Candy and dessert stations continue to grow in popularity. The sweet morsels are a wonderful addition – either as parting favors or as a dessert option for your guests. Many brides have now opted to include these stations in their weddings, but they also make a great addition to any other event – social party, corporate gala, quinceanera and more!

If you are interested in a candy station, be sure to contact us for your catering consultation – 210/340-1770.

We came across this recent photo shoot and just HAD to share with all of you Twilight fans. In reality, whether you are a fan or not, this color scheme is gorgeous. Black, white and red for a romantic, brooding wedding reception.

Everything is gorgeous – the dress, the cake, the flowers, chandelier – perfect!

Thanks to the Wedding Chicks for sharing this inspiration!
