Here are the last of the absolutely gorgeous images that Lisa Lefkowitz shot of today’s featured wedding, which took place in Mexico…
How much do you love the stationery? It was designed by MaybelleImasa-Stukuls…one of the most talented calligraphers out there. Thank you so much to Lisa Lefkowitz for sharing these gorgeous images. And of course, to the oh-so-talented Amy Nichols for introducing us to this beautiful affair!
Here are a few more images from the incredible wedding that Amy Nichols styled and Lisa Lefkowitz photographed…
I have one more set coming, so stay tuned!
Earlier today we featured a wedding that was ALL about the details…Amy Nichols designed the gorgeous touches and Lisa Lefkowitz photographed the entire affair. Although we have more wedding photos coming, Lisa just sent me some amazing images from the rehearsal dinner that I wanted to share with you, as they are sure to inspire…
I gave you guys a little teaser from this wedding, when I featured Amy Nichols in our Abby Loves section (above), but I wanted to share ALL of the amazing details with you today…
all of these gorgeous images were captured by the amazingly talented Lisa Lefkowitz
The wedding was held in Mexico and really focused on unique and approachable details that would leave guests with a romantic, beautiful memory.
From Amy…
The hanging ribbons in the wedding theme colors were a total “day-of” decision. We had originally wanted to do something w/ flowers trailing from the flowers but the place we were hanging them from was over 16′ high so I decided to cut lengths of ribbon to line the entry so the wedding colors were the first thing guests saw. When they blew in the breeze they were very pretty!
Right before guests sat down, I clipped fresh bougainvillea and tucked it into each napkin. I tied the napkins with pink string just to add a little color and to hold down the bougainvillea
The luminaries were STRAIGHT out of Martha Stewart. We cut gold doilies and put them inside white paper bags and weighed down w/ sand.
For the bouquet and the centerpieces we scanned pictures and emailed them to the florist in Mexico. With a language barrier and a destination wedding, a picture literally does tell a thousand words. The florist did a great job of duplicating the flowers we wanted.
Instead of reserving seats for family members w/ flowers, we took sprigs of Eucalyptus to mark the rows. They smelled wonderful!
We have so many more images coming from this lovely wedding!
I thought it was time to feature some of our reader inspiration boards…it’s been far too long! Our first board was designed by Sarah, who is getting married in Mexico next Spring…
From Sarah…
My fiancé, Jivan, and I live in San Francisco but grew up together in a small alternative life style community in the middle of Iowa. We fell in Love in India and got engaged in Mozambique. Jivan is African American and Christian, I am Jewish and white. We are planning to get married on the beach in Mexico and then honeymoon on the Everest Base Camp trek in Nepal. We are thinking to hold the wedding in April or May (09) at a private villa or small boutique hotel on the Mexican Riviera but we haven’t found the perfect venue (yet).
Although we are getting married in Mexico we really want to avoid having a Mexico theme party or a beach theme party– no seashell décor or wedding flags. It’s really important to us that our wedding be filled with unique personalized details that make our guests feel relaxed, at ease, and cared-for. I hope that this will be an opportunity for all our close friends and family, from all over the world, to go on vacation together.
I would like the wedding itself to be bohemian in feel with elements from the many different cultures we bring together woven in. I want the décor to be warm, fun, light, and vibrant. I just hope I can figure out a way to make it feel cohesive instead of disorganized. We are also on a tight budget so we are grateful for all the creative DIY ideas on your blog!
