✨ We are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated Wed Society San Antonio Wedding of the Year! Our fans voted for eleven stand out Vows That Wow-awarded weddings on Instagram Stories and ultimately Ále & Nathan’s wedding captured hearts with its stunning floral design & meaningful details. Up next, this winning San Antonio wedding will move on to be considered for Wed Society’s National Wedding of the Year 2025. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted, to our inspiring couple, and to the dream team of creatives who brought this unforgettable wedding vision to life! ✨
From the moment A Timeless Soirée stepped into the planning process, lead planner Jamie knew this celebration would be extraordinary. Working alongside a bride with such clear vision, she helped transform the couple’s working flower farm into a ceremony space that felt both wildly romantic and completely organic. The original lakeside ceremony plan evolved into something even more spectacular when Jamie suggested moving the vows beneath two majestic oak trees at the ranch entrance. There, on a custom-built circular platform, Ále and Nathan exchanged their vows surrounded by a flower meadow that looked like it had been planted by Mother Nature herself – because, well, it kind of was!
Here’s what made this wedding truly extraordinary: Ále of Petále Haus didn’t just order her wedding flowers or even grow them as a side project. She and Nathan spent a full year designing their garden landscape specifically for this day, cultivating the ‘Queeny Lime Blush’ zinnias and lavender cosmos that would eventually grace every surface. And in perhaps the most magical moment of the day, Ále created her own bridal bouquet on her wedding day from those very blooms. She still calls it one of her favorite bouquets she’s ever held, and honestly, we totally get why.
With 30 of their most cherished family & friends in attendance, the couple walked down the aisle hand in hand “as partners stepping into our new chapter,” Ále shared. Their most treasured memory? Standing in that flower meadow they created, surrounded by the people who meant everything to them.
Jamie’s design expertise shined through in every detail. For the family-style dinner tablescape, she paired patterned BBJ La Tavola linens with elegant Illusions Rentals dinnerware, and incorporated vibrant seasonal fruits that added unexpected pops of color throughout. Guests gathered at one long, beautifully dressed table where conversation flowed as freely as the wine. Exactly the warm, magical dinner vibe the couple had dreamed of.
Cute Lil’ Cookie Jar delivered an effortlessly chic wedding cake with textured sage-green buttercream that was equal parts whimsical and sophisticated, fitting seamlessly into the garden aesthetic. We absolutely died over the playful wedding favors: custom Pringles cans labeled with their new last name, “The Pringles”!
Andrea Jang Photo captured every moment with stunning artistry, from Ále’s gorgeous nails by Julianna Davis (her favorite wedding day detail) to the sweeping shots of that flower meadow ceremony. And if you haven’t watched their wedding film by Alos Films, prepare to be swept away by the romance of it all.
The only thing more beautiful than this wedding day is how these lovebirds were absolutely fated for each other. After connecting on Bumble in fall 2021, Ále and Nathan discovered something incredible: Nathan’s farm was just 0.3 miles from Ále’s dad’s ranch, and her father had been buying hay from Nathan all along! “Love finds you when you’re ready,” Ále reflected, “and sometimes in the most surprising ways.” Their connection led them to create this deeply personal celebration on land that meant so much to both families.
This is what San Antonio weddings are all about – creativity, heart, and vendors who bring impossible dreams to life. Congratulations to Ále and Nathan on this well-deserved recognition!
