October in San Antonio brings steady light and cooler evenings (sometimes). This San Antonio wedding at The Veranda used that shift in season well. The venue’s brick walls, Spanish-style tile, and tree-lined entrance already carry character. The couple built on that foundation with layered shades of red throughout the day.
The result felt cohesive without feeling heavy.
Red Details Against Brick and Greenery
Their color palette centered on multiple tones of red — deep crimson, berry, and wine. Those shades appeared in florals, reception accents, and small design details that tied everything together.
Against the warm brick and green landscaping at The Veranda, the red felt intentional. October light softened the tones even more as the afternoon moved toward evening.
Mariachis and a Strong Entrance
During cocktail hour, mariachis played in the courtyard. Guests gathered around, drinks in hand, while live music filled the space. It wasn’t background noise — it shaped the energy of the hour.
Then the music shifted. The mariachis led them in for their grand entrance into the reception. It felt celebratory without being overproduced. Guests were fully engaged from the start.
A Cake and a Surprise Announcement
Instead of a tiered cake, they chose a long sheet-style design topped with clusters of red berries. It stretched across the table and carried the same red tones seen earlier in the day.
During the reception, they shared something more personal. They announced the name of their expecting baby — named after both of their fathers. The room shifted immediately. It wasn’t loud. It was meaningful.
Moments like that don’t need embellishment.
