Intimate Old San Juan Wedding
I've never been to Old San Juan, but after spending some sweet time with this destination soiree, it's now nearing towards the tippy top of my must-see list. It's the colors, the culture and the rich, rich history that have my heart, and won't let go. Momentus Special Events planned the whole destination day to perfection with Vanessa Velez was there to capture, and you'll find much more right over here!
From the Bride... We decided to get married in Puerto Rico because we have a passion for traveling. We have always talked about having a destination wedding and we wanted a location that was close to the U.S, but would not require our guests to get a passport. We have friends who spoke very highly of Puerto Rico. They raved about the food, the beaches, the people, the activities, etc. So, we decided to give it a shot. After further research, we fell in love with the hotels and quest reviews of other brides and couples. Seeing pictures of Old San Juan, sealed the deal. You cannot create that setting any where and we knew we wanted to have Old San Juan as a background for our pictures.
Our inspiration for the day was focused around intimacy. We wanted to have a small intimate ceremony/wedding that focused on nothing but us, our vows, our close family, and friends. We wanted everyone who was there to actually feel our love. You can tell we accomplished this by the sounds of people sniffling because there was not 1 dry eye in the crowd.
Having a Spring wedding, I fell in love with the coral/aqua color palette. To me, these colors screamed "destination" and went so well with Old San Juan. They reminded me of the colors of the buildings. The color theme was all about a romantic, vintage/rustic look. I wanted to have colors that were not your traditional wedding colors. Having the girls in 2 different colors and different dresses inspired them to be themselves and to be comfortable.
The groomsman's suits played off the color of the girls dresses. I wanted to the dresses to stand out against the khaki color. Also, our taste is very "vintage". Our home is decorated the same way. There is something about it, that screams intimacy and love. For our ceremony, we went very simple because once again we wanted to have that Old San Juan background. It wasn't about flowers or decorations, but more about our moment and wedding. Simple is sometimes better!
