Chic beachfront wedding in Costa Rica / Becky and Sam at Pangas Beach Club

We love clients who have impeccable style and a real appreciation for the destination they have picked. We definitely hit the jackpot with Becky and Sam! I mean, a stylish and good looking couple that loves Costa Rica, a stunning beachfront venue, a light blue dress and Valentino Rockstuds? 

We went for a combination of laid back style (courtesy of our wonderful venue) and understated elegance with greenery and white floral (you know I love color, but greenery and white done right is also at the top of my list!), with lush runners on wood tables, glass encased tapers on brass cylinders and a great greenery floor arrangement for the ceremony, to highlight the amazing matapalo tree that served as their backdrop.

To top it off, Becky& Sam were blessed with a wonderful sunset and a great rain fee afternoon that allowed them to dine under the stars (instead of under a tent), and that is always a great thing!

Costa Rica Weddings / David & George at Villa Punto de Vista

Sometimes, coincidences in life turn out to be the most amazing thing.  Around mid 2016, I got a call from Ericka, the fabulous photographer from Les Amis Photos that did our wedding photos in Italy (and who is now also a dear friend!) to tell me that she had been hired to shoot a wedding in Costa Rica... we started making plans for their visit, as we would love to meet with them when they were here.... A few weeks later, I got a request from a couple interested in us becoming their planners.... A few conversations and a quote later, we realized that they were Ericka's clients (and they didn't know that Les Amis had shot our wedding!!!). Serendipity at its greatest!!!!!

David & George (who I am also now happy to call my friends) were so amazing to work with!!!! And their wedding was one of the most emotional ones I have seen. They were surrounded by family and friends, all enjoying the wonderful trip to Costa Rica to the max, and just so evidently thrilled by the commitment made by David and George. The ceremony, officiated by one of their dear friends, really did not leave one dry eye in the house (well, on the beach technically).

The reception followed at the wonderful Villa Punto de Vista, where guests enjoyed cocktails followed by dinner on the rooftop. Two long tables with gorgeous greenery and floral runners were just perfect; simple but beautiful. 

After dinner, guests headed downstairs for THE dance party of all times (including a surprise presentation by George and two of their best friends that literally brought the house down & some wonderful singing by one of the best men!). I honestly think this was one of the most fun parties I have witnessed. But more importantly, it was an opportunity to witness a couple so much in love, and surrounded by many people that were just overjoyed at their coming together... LOVE IS LOVE!!!!!!!
