Jennifer + Ashraf’s Manuel Antonio Costa Rica Wedding

Jennifer and Ashraf wed at the stunning villa, Punto de Vista, in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. Jennifer had quite the eye for design and floral decor and everything was perfect from the custom-made linens to the napkin selection to the place cards and each and every last detail. Thank you Ale Sura for the gorgeous photos!

The venue, Punto de Vista:

I am in love with this set-up!

Lots of orchids…

For the menu, the bride and groom wanted to tie in a little of the groom’s Egyptian heritage so offered falafel and ras el hanout shrimp and chicken.

And lots of tropical drinks, including passionfruit and green tea mojitos and watermelon slush with guava

The bride and the groom – gorgeous pics!

And it wouldn’t be a party without the belly dancer and the Arabic music

3) The demi-chignon

Kate wore her hair half-up in a demi-chignon. She also had a tiara that was lent by the Queen.

If the Queen isn’t going to lend you a tiara, perhaps you could add a tropical touch by putting orchids in your hair.

Maria del Mar & Tobias – Puerto Viejo Costa Rica Wedding

Beach weddings, Real Weddings

Ahhh the Caribbean. So laid back and so beautiful. Just like this lovely couple who said I do in Puerto Viejo!

I absolutely love these rustic wedding signs! And in multiple languages to boot as the groom is from Denmark and the bride from Costa Rica.

The shoe check. Guests checked in their shoes and traded them for some flip flops for the beach ceremony. They also grabbed a sun umbrella, water, sunscreen and a flower for their hair (for the ladies!).

Guests came from all over the world!

Cheers in all of the guests native languages:
