Wedding: Private villa, Playa Potrero
The bride is so artistic and creative so I knew from the get-go this wedding was going to be gorgeous. She had a wonderful sense of style and it was fun to co-design her wedding. Her color palette was yellow, grey and a splash of pink. Charlie is from Puerto Rico and Michelle is from Singapore, bringing culture and traditions as well! Photos provided by Comfort Studio.
Rehearsal dinner: Bahia del Sol
Wedding: Private house, Playa Potrero
When Beth and Matt contacted me several months ago to help plan and design their wedding, they told me that they wanted a low-key and laid-back beach town for their wedding weekend. Playa Potrero was perfect for them as it has that relaxed, pura vida kind of vibe. Friday night was the rehearsal dinner at the beautiful Bahia del Sol. A pig roast, coco loco drinks for the guests, a cigar roller, white lanterns overhead and purple orchids decorating the tables. The reception had a ‘romantic beach’ theme with tiki torches, candles galore, silver linens and chairs, and the perfect pop of color with purple hydrangeas. To top things off, a fireworks show and a delicious dessert bar with bride and groom cookies, red velvet cake and a tropical fruit salad. Photos provided by Fino Photography!

Wedding: Private Villa, Playa Junquillal
Annie & Christian’s love story goes back 15 years. Their love story with Costa Rica is almost just as long, as they started coming to this tropical paradise several years ago. Their favorite beach town for surfing and relaxing is Playa Junquillal, the location of their nuptials. They rented a private villa with an incredible view of the ocean and white sand beaches. Annie is very creative and actually made her own flower arrangements! Their group of 65 friends surely knew how to have a good time. The photos by Comfort Studio are stunning!
Lots of orchids, candles and chinese lanterns. The table names were the bride and groom’s favorite beaches in Costa Rica! And let’s not forget about the delicious (and beautiful!) wedding cake…
Wedding: Reserva Conchal
Rehearsal dinner: Dragonfly
I was able to witness one of the most beautiful ceremonies on the beach at Playa Conchal as Christina and Jason, both from Alabama, said ‘I Do’. This ceremony was exemplary of why Costa Rica is such an amazing place to get married. The sun set, the sky turned different shades of pink and guests sipped green cocktails while barefoot in the sand. The color theme of the entire event was white and green, with the green orchid and white cala lily theme making for the perfect combination. Guests dined under the stars at their private villa…a night to be remembered!
