Caroline and Anthony’s wedding at The Argyle Club in San Antonio was all about magnolias—real ones, hand-drawn ones, and all the green-and-white details you could imagine. The couple wanted an intimate dinner party vibe, and that’s exactly what they got, wrapped in a custom tent that felt both fresh and timeless.
Ash Event Co. designed the celebration’s tent with a green and white color scheme, but the standout was the drapery. Paradise Design Co. created hand-drawn magnolia patterns that covered the tent’s interior and were repeated on the long tablecloths inside. It wasn’t just a print on fabric—it set a mood that felt both natural and elegant.
The walkway leading to the tent was lined with real magnolia trees flown in for the occasion. These trees had a personal connection: they were grown by the bride’s mother, adding a quiet family touch to the decor. Real magnolias also framed the stage, tying the entire space together with authenticity.
Inside, Three Branches Floral Design added a soft twist to the palette by weaving light pink accents through the green and white setup, preventing the overall look from feeling too monochrome. The floral arrangements were subtle but effective, bringing a delicate freshness to the scene.
Photographer Liz Banfield, a member of Little Black Book, captured the weekend. Her images focused on the small moments—the kind of details that bring a wedding story to life beyond just the big scenes.
Caroline wore Oscar De La Renta throughout the night, choosing a designer known for timeless elegance. Her choice complemented the classic feel of the magnolia theme without overpowering it.
For their first dance, Caroline and Anthony selected “Fly Me to the Moon,” a song that matched the romantic yet relaxed atmosphere of the evening. It was a moment that felt personal, fitting the couple’s desire for a celebration that was intimate rather than extravagant.
The event was a careful balance of personal touches and thoughtful design. The magnolia motif wasn’t just decorative; it was a connecting thread from family roots to the celebration itself.
This wedding is a solid example of how combining natural elements with custom design can make a tented wedding feel more like a curated home event than a typical party. It’s the kind of detail that guests remember—real trees, hand-drawn patterns, and a color story that keeps it all cohesive without feeling staged.
If you’re thinking about a similar look, consider how personal elements—like Caroline’s mother’s magnolia trees—can elevate the setting beyond just flowers and fabric. It’s these genuine touches that make a wedding feel truly yours.
