The Gardens at Old Town Helotes set the perfect scene for a Beauty and The Beast inspired wedding for Katie and Carlos.  Subtle French storybook accents were featured throughout the gardens for the Disney-loving couple.  The bride got ready at the onsite bridal cabin and greeted her adorable little boy before being surprised with a horse-drawn carriage by her dad.  They enjoyed a father-daughter moment, taking a ride around Old Town Helotes before he walked her down the aisle in their romantic garden ceremony.  

Katie and Carlos exchanged very personal vows, and I love that they ended their ceremony with the Star Wars Finale music.  The couple danced under the twinkle lights on a pleasant Spring evening, enjoying their guests and the wonderful food by Spice of Life.  Their cake toppers were life-like replicas of the bride and groom, a perfect keepsake from their perfect day.  The groom's Iron Maiden Themed cake was a delicious bacon, bourbon chocolate.  Loved the banana's foster bar by Spice of Life.  

Congratulations to Katie and Carlos Lopez!
