We love this winter wedding from Grandberry Hills! Nothing says elegant, winter wedding like black, white and red. Additionally, the venue was appropriately decorated with Christmas trees – who wouldn’t want a winter wedding?

When the bride came to An Event to Remember to coordinate their full-service catering, we knew our black and white damask runners would be the perfect accent for her tables. Red linen napkins and menus topped black chargers to round out this evening reception.

The tables alternated between tall glass vases and 29″ silver candelabras. These center accents were adorned with an array of assorted red florals, including Freedom Red Roses, Red Asatic Lilies and Red Astromerias along with fresh greenery of lemon leaf and seeded eucalyptus. Additionally, the table was sprinkled with red rose petals and small votive candles.

The seated dinner menu consisted of the following:

Traditional Garden Salad: A field of mixed greens with fresh cucumber wheels, garden cherry tomatoes and shredded carrots with a choice of Ranch or Italian Vinaigrette dressing

Chicken Picatta: Tender breast of chicken with a rich creamy lemon butter capers sauce garnished with fresh garden chopped parsley

Mixed Grilled Vegetables: Fresh garden egglant, red onion, carrots, mushrooms, asparagus and sweet peppers frilled and served julianna style

Garlic Mashers: Our fresh red potatoes, hand-mashed with butter and cream seasoned with garlic, spices and fresh garden rosemary

Children’s Menu: Chicken fingers with macaroni & cheese and tater tots

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!

A few weekends ago we catered and provided florals and linens for a wedding at the San Antonio Museum of Art. True to the elegance of the building itself, the wedding colors were black and ivory – perfect elegance for a beautiful, classy wedding.

The outdoor wedding ceremony reception had an aisle covered with linens and outdoor lights, and the altar was adorned with tea light candles – so beautiful!

They say rain on your wedding day is good luck. However, if your event is outdoors, you might consider this anything but fortunate circumstances.

Luckily, the weather for this recent wedding in Blanco, Texas at Vaaler Creek Golf Club was gorgeous. An Event to Remember provided full-service catering – gourmet food, linens, floral decor and bouquets.

The ceremony was held outside by the water – stunning for photography! The reception was also outdoors on the patio – with a gorgeous view of the sunset. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

A few weekends ago we provided tables, chairs, floral decor, bouquets and linens for the ceremony and reception at Seekatz Opera House in New Braunfels. This venue is perfect for large weddings, with seating accommodations for up to 500 people.

The colors were bright mango and tangerine, and the centerpieces rotated between large tree branch candelabras and shorter wrought iron bouquets. Enjoy!

We loved Kristin’s photos of Bella Bridesmaid so much, that we decided it was only appropriate to highlight her other work. Her photos are fresh, fun, colorful and full of personality – the perfect and ideal components for your wedding day!

Directly from the Urth Studio Photography website:

Photographs are the sweetest keepsakes to me. Whether you are a family or a couple seeking to tie-the-knot, the photographer you choose should be someone that you share the same style with. Lifestyle portraiture is my style completely. I like to bring out the most lovely personality that’s within you as possible when I’m behind the camera. I work in San Antonio and all of the little towns surrounding it including the Texas Hill Country in Concan, TX as well as Uvalde, TX. My blog is simply a collaboration of my work and thoughts, which I typically share with you daily, so you can keep up with my life and work this way.

Enjoy!
