Madeline and Christopher knew they wanted their wedding to be uniquely San Antonio, and what could be more iconic than ending their celebration with a riverwalk cruise alongside their closest friends and family? 🚤💕

The couple’s vibrant celebration began with a heartfelt ceremony at the historic Sacred Heart Chapel before moving to the stunning Spanish Colonial architecture of the Southwest School of Art.

Scarlet Rose Events planned and designed an enchanting San Antonio evening that felt both sophisticated and deeply personalized, orchestrating every detail to create a celebration that perfectly reflected the couple’s vision.

The reception space was transformed through the expert design assistance of Luxe Event Decor, who provided the elegant chairs, baby blue patterned linens, and sophisticated tabletop rentals that created the foundation for the evening’s enchanting atmosphere. Jo An Floral Design elevated the celebration with their masterful color palette, creating lush floral arrangements that perfectly complemented the baby blue theme while adding vibrant pops of color throughout the space.

From their head table, Madeline and Christopher were immersed in the electric energy of their celebration, surrounded by the warmth of their loved ones and filled with deep gratitude for the magical evening unfolding around them. The richness of the venue, combined with the lush florals and mariachi melodies by Mariachi Las Alteñas, created moments and memories that felt surreal.

Each guest discovered a delightful surprise at their place setting—personalized white maracas that served as both favors and a beautiful nod to the evening’s cultural celebration. ✨ Scarlet Rose Collective’s custom rentals and stationery truly elevated the space, with their custom monogram woven throughout the celebration as a signature design element. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, creating a cohesive celebration that honored both the couple’s style and the magic of San Antonio.

The dance floor remained packed all evening thanks to PDA Band, who kept the energy high and the music flowing. Bright Event Rentals provided the essential tables and ensured every element came together seamlessly, supporting the overall design vision that made this celebration feel effortlessly elegant.

But the most memorable moment came at the end of the night, when Madeline and Christopher made their grand exit down to the riverwalk. Instead of the traditional sparkler send-off, the newlyweds and their wedding party boarded a Go Rio Cruise boat for a unique celebration that could only happen in San Antonio, creating the perfect ending to a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. 💙
