Some venues just speak to you, and for Brooke and Kyle Hanse, the Southwest School of Arts did more than whisper – it became the heart and soul of their wedding design. The iconic sagrado corazón (sacred heart) caught their eye and quickly became the perfect symbol for their love story, appearing in sweet touches throughout their celebration. ✨

Their color story? A gorgeous vibrant orange that holds special meaning – it’s a nod to the orange grove where Kyle popped the question. This citrusy shade came to life in the wedding party attire, with each bridesmaid rocking a uniquely styled summer-ready ruffled dress.

The already gorgeous courtyard got an extra dose of magic thanks to Bright Event Rentals, who enhanced the space’s natural beauty with their beautiful decor rentals. Meanwhile, the fantastic team at Bartenders 4 You kept the party vibing with perfectly crafted cocktails that had everyone coming back for seconds.

As the couple’s planner Lila Lane Events shared, “The Southwest School of Arts in San Antonio has culture, character, and is right on the San Antonio Riverwalk. Once the lights, band, tables, and florals filled the space, the atmosphere was defined.”

Fun Fiesta-inspired design elements popped up everywhere you looked – from a playful “Viva Los Hanses” wooden sign in front of the band to picado banner table numbers. A caricature artist captured the custom guest portraits, while the couple’s own caricature made cheeky appearances on menus and signage.

When it was time to really get the party started, Brooke slipped into the cutest floral applique mini dress and cowboy boots – because comfort is key when you’re dancing all night! To keep the celebratory spirit alive long after the last dance, guests took home leather tambourines decorated with the couple’s crest. Talk about a party favor that hits all the right notes! 🤍
