The second we found out this gorgeous wedding day planned by Martha Lomeli Weddings was actually in Cabo, we had to do a double take. Flora Farms is a lush garden venue you would never expect to find in this beautiful beach paradise – perfectly tucked away in the serene foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains. The couple fell in love with the farm to table atmosphere, picturesque fields of vegetables and open air feel. The two tied the knot under a blooming magenta floral arbor by Floweriize, and later dined al fresco under strings of twinkle lights!

From the Bride, Caroline… The statistics for a good blind date are probably pretty low, especially on a Monday night during a NYC blizzard. Jake and I met at Cibar near Gramercy Park. We had only seen photos of one another and were mostly going as a favor to our family members who set us up. We ended up closing the bar down, talking for hours, and knew that night that we had found our soul mates. Fast forward a year and a pandemic later, and Jake proposed in Rosemary Beach, Florida, surrounded by friends and family.
It was important to us to pick a destination that our guests would enjoy going to, and could make a vacation out of. We had people flying in from all over the country with most of Jake’s family coming from New York and mine from Texas, so Cabo made the most sense geographically. We originally fell in love with San Jose del Cabo on a trip we took together once travel bans were lifted. Jake and I left with a wedding venue secured at Flora Farms. To say we fell in love with the area would be an understatement. The farm to table atmosphere, along with the magical florals and beautiful fields of vegetables truly made it feel like a heavenly oasis in the middle of the desert.
From the Planner… Caroline & Jake wanted their wedding weekend to be low-key, but elevated. They chose Los Cabos as their destination, and Caroline was very involved in the design of the weekend. She fell in love with the natural elegance of Flora Farms and was inspired by the open air space, farm to table menu, and lush gardens on the property. The seated dinner was served family style, and homemade wood fired pizzas were passed near the dance floor as a surprise late night snack.
Included in their day were many special details like embroidered linen napkins with their initials, maracas with every guest’s name attached to find their assigned seats, a colorful invitation suite with hand lettering and illustrations, and breathtaking flowers by Floweriize.
