Jazmine & Jimmy’s Hacienda Pinilla Costa Rica Wedding

Beach weddings | 29 August 2010

Jazmine & Jimmy: highschool sweethearts who came to Costa Rica from Texas to celebrate their love and say ‘I do’. Many guests traveled from afar for the wedding weekend: From Australia, New Zealand, England and of course Texas. It was a fun-packed week for the guests as they participated in ATV-ing, canopy, horseback riding, snorkeling and catamaran.

At the wedding, green was the color of choice. I love green! It’s fresh, a classic and goes with so much! We paired it with chocolate brown and it was absolutely stunning! Thank you to El Velo Photography for the gorgeous photos and videos.

Wedding planners will help you design your wedding to ensure that everything, as far as decor goes, flows together. From the flowers to the color of the napkins and tablecloths to the type of chairs used, no detail will be missing. Many people think that it’s hard to capture all of the details for your destination wedding as the planning is done from afar. Think again…that’s why you need a stylish wedding planner!

A wedding I planned and designed with the help of the bride and the florist was recently featured on La Belle Bride, a stylish wedding blog for the swanky bride. Here is what they said:

“Brides sometimes fear that destination weddings can seem a bit thrown together, what with being so far away while planning. The solution: Having an amazing wedding coordinator like Samantha Kohn of Events & Weddings Costa Rica .  And can I just say she doesn’t throw down some cookie cutter wedding! This wedding is rustic, adorable and personalized. The amazing yellow details killed me! Could you ask for more? Take a peek at these photos. NOTHING is missing. It’s sheer loveliness.”
