Real Wedding - Jenny and Steven

A big Felicidades to Jenny and Steven who were married in the gardens at the Los Suenos Marriott in Playa Herradura on December 6! Lots of gorgeous details to this wedding, which had a mix of Jewish and Catholic traditions in the outdoor ceremony.

The ballroom was mesmerizing with tons of orchids, stunning lighting and lots of carefully thought-out touches throughout. Jenny is an event planner and her attention to detail ensured the day was perfectly gorgeous!

Real Wedding - Carrie & John

Felicidades to Carrie and John, who married on Sunday, February 8 at the Tamarindo Diria. It was a fun, intimate wedding and the bride - stunning!! Nothing like a couture dress on a beautiful bride.

The day was perfect, with a gorgeous blue sky and just enough puffy white clouds to create a breathtaking sunset. Carrie spent a lot of time perfecting the details with me and the result was fabulous.

Big thanks to the wonderful Sean Davis at Lifetime Digital for his great shots.

Take a look...

The couple used a logo on their programs, matchbooks, all signage - love it! These little details really pull everything together. Best of all, you can have a personalized logo for under $50! Check out the hundreds of options at Marry Monograms.

A big felicidades to Steph and Matt who were married on January 10 at the Los Suenos Beach Club in Jaco. It was a truly unique wedding, complete with Matt riding in on a white horse and a Peruvian shaman ceremony. The 80 guests then danced the night away at the stunning Zephyr Palace. Greek dancing, cigar rollers, great food - what a night!

Stay tuned for more photos of this wonderful wedding!

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!

Real Wedding Blogged

A number of our weddings have been featured on other blogs and I'm going to recap them over the upcoming weeks as they may prove to be inspirational for your own upcoming nuptials.

This wedding was a beautiful one at the Tamarindo Diria last April and is featured on Brenda's Wedding Blog. A perfect day with lots of sunshine. We constructed an amazing bamboo canopy with swathed fuchsia fabric, chains of orchids and hydrangea balls. The entire color scheme was based on a dress the bride had worn to her engagement party - black and white damask with a fuchsia belt. The result? Stunning!
