Emily and Brad charmed everyone on a gorgeous March day at Ivy Hall in San Antonio, Texas. It was one of those spring weddings that feels effortless but intentional, lighthearted but still elevated, with the kind of energy that makes you want to linger in every moment a little longer. Ivy Hall’s classic architecture and garden-forward setting made the perfect backdrop for a celebration that felt romantic, modern, and full of personality. And yes, it even picked up a sweet feature on Style Me Pretty, which you can read here: https://www.stylemepretty.com/2025/11/03/a-lamp-lit-garden-celebration-blending-playful-charm-and-modern-refinement/

The florals were a garden party daydream, with bold pinks and blues and pops of chartreuse that felt playful and fresh in the best way. Those bright blooms brought so much life to the ceremony and reception spaces, creating a colorful, joyful atmosphere from the very first look to the final toast. Emily’s signature bob was perfection paired with her neck scarf, giving her bridal look a chic, fashion-forward wink while still feeling timeless and refined. Every detail felt like “her” in the most natural way, from the confident styling to the way she carried herself all day. Her sweet energy and radiant smile were contagious, the kind that instantly relaxes a room and makes every photo feel alive.

And Brad, truly, looked at her with pure pride and adoration all day long. Their connection was steady and sweet, full of those quiet glances and little laughs that say everything without needing words. The Scarlet Rose Events team designed everything with such care, building a layered, intentional garden party scene that still felt welcoming and easy for guests to enjoy. From the color story to the flow of the day, it was a dream spring affair that balanced playful charm with modern refinement. If there were ever a wedding that bottled up the feeling of a fresh season, this was it.
