2016 Fall/Holiday Magazine

Welcome to the Fall-Holiday 2016 issue of The Valley Wedding Pages magazine! Our cover this issue showcases the spectacular vision of Hayley Lindley of The Secret Garden Florals & Events. Her keen eye for lush blooms and delicate petals is something to behold, and can be seen in her work throughout the pages of the magazine. We invite you to get to know her a little better through her use of rich colors perfect for any season.

Within the pages of this Fall-Holiday issue you will find twenty-six exquisite real weddings. One special feature is our 2016 Annual Planning Guide Cover Bride Sandi Aguilar-Marichalar, whose wedding to the love of her life Luis made for an unforgettable event. Along with Sandi’s wedding we are also happy to feature the heartwarming elopement of Yasmin and Miguel Angel Martinez, whose touching celebration brought together by the collaboration of several wedding professionals proved the strength of love and happiness in the midst of tragedy and grief. We also bring you the gorgeous destination weddings of Peyton and Raul De La Garza and Gisela and Stewart Traver, whose nuptials may inspire you to visit with Harold Vann of H&R Travel and book the trip of your dreams!

Along with our featured Just Married and Engaged couples who have found their “Happily Ever After’s,” you can also find our timeless styled wedding session that is reminiscent of an era long past with gorgeous vintage details, perfect for the autumn season. On the subject of “vintage” and “timeless”, turn the pages to discover four historical venues located right here in the Rio Grande Valley whose rich chronicles can transform any special event into an unforgettable experience. Other must-read editorials include the delicious sweets of Honey’s Cakes that bring smiles to all, the success of former graduates of my Wedding and Event Planning Certification course who have made a name for themselves in the event industry, and the kind friendship of photographers Alaa and Brenda Marzouk.

As we continue to guide brides and grooms throughout their wedding planning process we hope our great tips and latest trends in all things wedding can spark couples’ imaginations. Be serenaded by one of the Top Ten Classical Mariachi Songs, ease your mind with the help of Oh Kays! boutique as you begin your wedding registry, and choose the absolute Must-Have Shots you don’t want your photographer to miss on the day you say “I Do.” To keep up with recent special events in the Rio Grande Valley, take a look at the “Mix & Mingle” events hosted by some of our amazing wedding vendors you wish you didn’t miss, and see the spectacular engagement party of our 2016 “How I Got Engaged” winners Angela Fausey and Joseph Esperante – they are almost ready to become husband and wife!
