For November, we’re featuring Rileigh & Andres’ March wedding at Iron Manor in Montgomery, Texas. This elegant wedding day was both meaningful and elegant, featuring intentional nods to cultural heritage, personal moments, and breathtaking floral design.
The Wedding Day
Rileigh & Andres’ March wedding was a celebration infused with tradition, elegance, and heartfelt joy. Their Catholic ceremony was not only beautifully reverent but also honored Andres’ Mexican heritage with several symbolic touches. A bilingual mass brought two cultures together in harmony, with readings and a homily in both English and Spanish. The couple also incorporated a traditional lasso ceremony, using a figure-eight rosary placed over them to represent unity and God’s presence in their marriage.
Rileigh’s wedding day began with a beautifully polished look by Etoilly Artistry, whose team created effortlessly elegant makeup for both her and her bridesmaids. But one of the first impressions of this timeless celebration came from the stunning stationery suite created by DGZ Invitations And More. Their invitation suite set the tone for the day with its refined green palette, floral-lined envelope, and classic typography.
Following their ceremony, the couple hosted a timeless and refined reception at Iron Manor. The historic-meets-industrial venue set the stage for a reception full of greenery, glowing chandeliers, and heartfelt celebration. The statement welcome display, designed by AALVO, doubled as a modern seating chart, inviting guests to their tables with elegance and ease.
The lush floral design by Bramble & Bee was a true showstopper. Rileigh shared that florals were one of her top priorities—and the vendor team more than delivered. From suspended greenery over the head table to soft white blooms spilling across the tabletops, the floral installations elevated the entire space with an effortless natural beauty. Moss-covered bases, dreamy candlelight, and delicate green goblets added a whimsical touch to the tablescape, perfectly complementing soft ivory linens and classic black chairs. Every place setting featured a knotted olive napkin and personalized name card, with day-of paper goods designed by Lyons Paperie.
Once dinner was served and speeches had been shared, the Royal Dukes Band brought everyone to their feet with a mix of crowd favorites and Spanish-language hits that honored Andres’ heritage. The dance floor stayed packed all night long—a reflection of just how loved this couple is.
Rileigh & Andres’ Favorite Wedding Day Moment
“One of our favorite memories was the first look and private speeches we shared before leaving for the ceremony,” said Rileigh. “Everything felt so busy and exciting, but in that moment, time slowed down. We were able to be fully present with one another, sharing our love in our own words before the sacramental vows. It grounded us in what truly mattered.”
