Relaxed Elegance At This Chic and Colorful Mexico Wedding

The Planning
Design / Vibe / Vision
The reception was held in the signature restaurant "Alebrije," overlooking the pool and sunset, which made it truly magical. Table settings were combined between round tables with linens and rectangle ones that showed the beautiful wood, contrasting perfectly with black chairs to give it more edge. Red and pink florals were complementing the classical Mexican decor at the table. From artisanal plates and glassware to hand-made candelabras, it was a truly Mexican-style table. To make the design stand out and break the typical wedding style, it was decided that the color black had to be added to balance out the color palette, making it a unique combination.
Proposal Story

From the bride... Carly and Austin met in April of 2016 at Coachella Music Festival, they were introduced by mutual friends, together ever since and the rest is history. Six years almost exactly to the date, the two were married in San Jose Del Cabo at the breathtaking Las Ventanas al Paraiso. Los Cabos is not only a beautiful destination, but it is also a home away from home for the couple who have enjoyed countless times in Mexico with family and friends, enjoying all the beauty and culture Baja has to offer - surfing - art - food - libations - architecture - music, etc. Carly and Austin reside in Southern California living there happily ever after.

The Fashion
Wedding Gown

For the wedding, Carly wore a classic silhouette by Alex Perry that looked absolutely perfect on her. Paired with pearl-beaded Jimmy Choo shoes and a red all-ranunculus bouquet with a black ribbon, the whole ensemble was one-of-a-kind.

Bridesmaid Dresses

The Details
Food & Drink
It was important for the guests to experience Mexican fine dining at its best, so we selected a 4-course dinner from "Alebrije," which included a catch of the day tiradito, locally sourced salads and vegetables, the traditional Baja seabass, and roasted cauliflower with pippin sauce.
Florals & Decor
It was a truly Mexican-style table. To make the design stand out and break the typical wedding vibe, we decided to add black to balance the color palette, making it a unique combination. For the floral design, we played around with a gorgeous palette of reds and pinks for the ceremony and reception. These hues and the natural clay vases gave a beautiful balance to the tables.
Wedding Cake

Las Ventanas Al Paraíso’s pastry chef prepared a traditional vanilla cake adorned with amazing florals for that special moment.

Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs

Carly and Austin always knew that the most special place for them to have the ceremony was the famous "Plaza" in Las Ventanas Al Paraíso. The iconic tree became the perfect backdrop when it was covered in pink bougainvilleas that contrasted beautifully with the ocean. Carly walked down the aisle to "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers. The whole space was covered with baskets and clay pots of different flowers that made the "I do’s" even more romantic. Carly and Austin finished the whole thing by walking to "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve.
