[section title=”The Planning”]

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

We wanted to play off the gorgeous venue, Casa Hyder. The colors of the home are oranges and pinks. The house is already so bright, so I just added some color and greenery to the decor.

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

When I first visited San Miguel on a girls’ trip, I instantly fell in love. Being an interior designer, I loved all the gorgeous architecture and beautiful doors. For my wedding, I wanted my friends to enjoy the place I loved so much. Even though the journey from Los Angeles was long, I knew it would be a trip that everyone would remember.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]

After a year and a half of dating, my husband Mix took me up to Montecito for a fun afternoon. I love the gardens of San Ysidro Ranch and he proposed to me in the beautiful gardens. I was so shocked, I don’t remember what he said, but I somehow managed to scream out, “YES!” We celebrated all weekend long and we have the best memories.

[section title=”The Fashion”]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]I bought my wedding gown at Carolina Herrera in New York City. It was the first dress I tried on. I liked how it had some formal lace, but didn’t feel too much like a ballgown.[/field]

[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]

I wanted my bridesmaids to feel their best! I let them choose any dress that was in the pink spectrum. I loved how all the dresses complemented the venue.

[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]

My husband, Mix, wore a custom Tom Ford Tux. All of his groomsmen wore a traditional black tux and he wore a white jacket, which made him stand out.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]

For tapas, we had mini fish tacos, tuna, and chipotle mini tostadas. They were served in black volcanic stone platers with a beautiful bougainvillea, giving it a Mexican touch. For the menu, we had a three-course dinner: Ensalada San Miguel, bicolor cream of poblano, and roasted corn, and for the main dish we had an amazing beef tenderloin or green chicken enchiladas and Mexican-style beans. After dinner, we had gigantic margaritas on each table so we could all share, it was lots of fun.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Flowers were very important. We had different shades of pink in the ceremony area with touches of greenery, framing the black antique door. We love pink, and we wanted to make sure that we had different tones of pink all over the wedding.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Cake”]

A simple four-tier white wedding cake adorned with citrus.

[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

Penzi, our wedding planner, hired Familia Cortes – an amazing violin ensemble. We chose classic but fun songs played in their very colorful and fun violins.

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]I loved the speeches! It was so wonderful to hear all of our families give special toasts.[/field]
