« Real Destination Wedding: Valentina and Daniel - Part I »
Tuesday, November 3, 2009 at 3:15PM Today's wedding comes straight to us from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Wouldn't we all love to be there today? Kristin, owner of The Dazzling Details was kind enough to share some details from Valentina and Daniel's wedding day with us.
From Kristin...
Valentina and Daniel’s destination wedding brought together family and friends from England, Mexico and the United States. The couple chose jewel tones of purple, pinks and mauve and really hoped to create an ambiance of beach blended with traditional Mexico. To assist us in the design process, Tina and Dan put together an inspiration board featuring elements that represented Mexico to them - Calaveras (craft skulls), punched tin, Milagros (flaming heart figurines), tin stars, laminated rooftops and beautiful florals. In addition, the couple’s wedding invitation and their much-loved Chihuahua took a front seat in the final wedding design!


The ceremony took place on the sandy beach, and vows were exchanged beneath a tin-roof canopy with flowing chiffon and hanging tin stars. Wrought iron hooks intertwined with dendrobium orchids and additional hanging tin stars lined the aisle, and the bride carried a stunning bouquet of colorful roses, baby roses and calla lilies. The bridal party was free to wear anything they wanted, and the resulting eclectic bridal fashion added such a fun touch and uniqueness to the day!
(You know I have an affinity for unique bridesmaid dresses!)


Following the ceremony, guests were invited to the reception area where a Mexican beach lounge and the dinner reception wrapped romantically around the dance floor draped in dreamy chiffon and lit with twinkle lights.

STAY TUNED FOR PART 2!
