✨ Vows that Wow Special Feature: Each month, our editors review dozens of San Antonio weddings and select the best of the best to feature as our Vows that Wow. ✨
Alexandra and Michael aimed for an intimate and meaningful wedding, made unforgettable by the Catholic ceremony they always dreamt of – including traditional elements like the lasso and auras in the beautiful San Fernando Cathedral.
Every element of their wedding day was meticulously designed by VOLARE Planning & Design to reflect the couple’s vision of sophistication, modernity and timelessness with a little bit of edge. Their photographer Matthew Alvarado Co captured their love story in Vogue editorial style, truly making it an elevated celebration.
With Michael’s Hispanic background and Alexandra’s family’s love for Mexico, particularly Cabo, they infused Hispanic culture into their celebration and no detail was spared. Their guests were treated to a mariachi exit from the ceremony by Los Galleros de San Antonio before the celebrations moved to The Red Berry Estate.

❤️ The sleek & elegant calla lily centerpieces
❤️ The couple included their pups on the bar signage, cocktail napkins and cake
❤️ A stunning champagne tower during cocktail hour & an espresso martini tower for late night

We love seeing a couple take traditions and turn them into something of their own, with a nod to their heritage and special connection. Congratulations to the De Leons!
