Adjoa & Jorge - A Wedding in (Birds of) Paradise



Great time was had by all at Adjoa & Jorge's wedding at the Tamarindo Diria last week. Wow, do those folks know how to shake a tailfeather!! Mix folks from Ghana and Portugal together and you get a non-stop rockin' time!

Taking inspiration from their wedding invitations, we went with an orange and navy blue color scheme with starfish as the accent.

The result for the reception was a plethora of graceful Birds of Paradise (the bride's favorite and also a perfect match for the color scheme). We anchored the tables with an orange runner, then played up the blue with the frames, blue tinted water for the flowers and orange napkins (with a single dendrobium orchid bud). Rattan chargers, mahogany Chiavari chairs and scattered starfish finished the look. Simple yet elegant.


As wedding favors, Adjoa and Jorge chose handmade coffee mugs, made in the artisan town of Santa Ana, filled with Costa Rican coffee and a change purse made from traditional Kente cloth (the beautiful fabric worn as part of tradition dress in Ghana).

It was a wonderful wedding and we're so honored to have been a part of it. Felicidades, Adjoa and Jorge! Many years of happiness!
