Jackie and Kyle’s gorgeous southwestern inspired wedding at Thistlewood Manor & Gardens is totally stunning, to say the least! Their wedding design is a blend of southwestern meets bohemian with a modern aesthetic that’s sleek and sophisticated. 

Cactus centerpieces, Papel Picado garlands, and a fun mini margarita seating chart made their wedding unique and totally memorable, and just wait till you see their photo booth! These two had a gorgeous day, see all the highlights below from Brooke Taelor Photography and catch a closer look at the entire wedding in the full gallery.

From Thistlewood Manor & Gardens: Bride Jackie and Groom Kyle dreamed of having a wedding that no matter where you looked you saw them in each detail. They met while working with the San Antonio Spurs, so their wedding colors reflected the team’s spirit colors.

They both also wanted to embrace their love for the south, so their centerpieces consisted of cactuses, succulents, greenery garlands, and furs. They also had Papel Picado garlands hanging, macrame signs on their chairs, a cactus backdrop for their selfie station, mini margaritas for their seating chart, and southwest decor on their sign-in table and ice cream bar.
