Wedding: Villa Caletas
They were thrilled to be in Costa Rica for their wedding weekend which was both fun and intimate, as they shared it with close family and friends.
The rehearsal dinner was at an authentic Costa Rican restaurant right on the beach and the food was spectacular. Guests drank local beer including Imperial, Bavaria and Pilsen and ate lobster that was caught earlier in the day– you certainly cannot beat that.
The zipline tour is not to be missed, and almost every single wedding guest decided to join in on the fun and swing through the jungle.
Check out the pictures below to get a snapshot of the wedding day. Thanks to Sarah of Fino Photography! The bride loves orchids, so their centerpiece was filled with green and purple orchids as well as other local flowers like bright pink ginger and green mums. The bride went with a classy cala lily bouquet and the maid of honor went a more tropical route, with a bouquet filled with a wide array of colorful flowers. The tropical band was a hit for the guests, who mostly came from Chicago, and got everyone on the dance floor to the beat of salsa, merengue and of course, to classic American music. As the wedding did take place overlooking the ocean, a beach theme was in order as the namecard holder was filled with shells and sand, which was both tropical and fun.
It was an honor to plan and be a part of Stephanie and Richard’s wedding weekend!
Here are some cake and flower details. A mix of cala lilies for the bridal bouquet and tropical flowers for the maid of honor bouquet, centerpieces and cake decor.
