Alexandra + Michael’s Vogue Inspired Wedding at the Red Berry Estate

For the wedding of Alexandra Marlow and Michael De Leon of Dallas, high fashion met the elegance of Vogue Weddings and every detail was meticulously curated to create a fashion-forward, timeless, classic celebration. From custom-made Vogue magazines to the bride’s trip to New York to say “Yes to the Dress” at Kleinfeld’s, every element was chosen with style in mind. 

The day began by getting ready at the historic St. Anthony hotel, where Alexandra and bridesmaids and Michael and his groomsmen reveled in spending intimate and purposeful moments together as they prepared for their grand ceremony at San Fernando Cathedral. 

After the ceremony, we orchestrated a mariachi send off in front of the church’s lovely facade, complete with maracas. The mariachi serenaded the couple with their favorite song, “Para Siempre” by Vicente Fernandez, as they exited the church. The mariachi continued to play and waved guests on as they boarded the motor coaches to the Red Berry Estate, while Alexandra and Michael made time for magazine cover worthy newlywed portraits with Matthew Alvarado. 

At the Red Berry Estate, the floral centerpieces and full baby’s breath overhead installation were the highlight of the reception space. Tall crystal vases holding long calla lily stalks draped gracefully over the tables, and lush white garden rose runners flowed continuously down tables, while oil-based candles ensured continuous, warm candlelight throughout the evening. The reception was a chic vision in black and white, featuring quality fabrics, luxurious furnishings, and intricate florals, with an elegant menu. 

A espresso martini  toast followed dinner. Then the couple took to the dance floor to give a heartfelt thanks to their guests for joining them on their special day before transitioning into their first dance. All the special dances were performed live by the band, who meticulously learned each piece in advance for the couple’s wedding day. This dedication made the dances uniquely meaningful and momentous.

The celebration truly kicked into high gear as the couple hit the stage, sharing an unforgettable moment with the Manhattan Band. Surrounded by their guests, they created lasting memories before transitioning into an intimate private dance. The night concluded in spectacular fashion with an epic boat send-off, leaving everyone in awe of the perfect ending to a magical day.

To Alex and Michael – Thank you for choosing us to bring your breathtaking wedding day to life. It’s an honor to be part of such a meaningful chapter, and we’re truly grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us to create a celebration as unique and unforgettable as your love story.
