Minimalist Stationery Modernized This Secret Garden Wedding at Hotel Emma in San Antonio

Amy Mciver (32, a realtor) and Addison McAuley (27, works in commercial real estate development) lived half a world apart and a chance meeting at a bar kicked off what became a whirlwind, transcontinental love story. Following an emotional airport good-bye, a telephoned proposal and a move from Australia, the couple celebrated their love with a minimal wedding. To complement their hotel venue’s architecture, the duo settled on a “modern, abstract greenhouse vibe with lots of feminine touches.” The venue’s aesthetic informed the day’s design direction. “We were all inspired by Hotel Emma with an industrial modern meets Old-World luxury feel,” Amy says. Layered atop the venue's existing eye-catching décor, the couple added ample botanicals. Amy and Addison’s reception was a, “lush ‘secret garden’ feel with live trees, moody lighting and large overgrown installations.”
