Happy to share another beautiful wedding we did last year in Santa Teresa. It was featured recently on one of my favorite magazine's blogs. This simple and elegant event was designed by Anahi Contreras and myself (Aimee) and brought to you from my sister company Santa Teresa Beach Wedding. Thanks to Destination I Do, a truly fabulous magazine and blog for any couple thinking about a destination wedding.

Graham and Ever were married in beautiful Santa Teresa Beach on the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica. Not only is this my personal favorite area of the country, they also chose my favorite venue as well. The wedding was held at the Fabulous luxury estate of Casa Capitan. I love this estate so much it is where I celebrated my 40th birthday last year with all my nearest and dearest and where I am currently planning the wedding of my only sibling. This wedding was co planned by myself and my amazing business partner, Anahi Contreras from my Sister company Santa Teresa Beach Weddings.
Graham and Ever are both so incredibly beautiful people - both physically and internally. They both glow with kindness and sincerity as do their entire families. I remember at the end of their wedding, Anahi and I shared a moment and agreed that people like them and their guests are what make us love what we do. Having helped such good people plan and then celebrate a day they will always remember, is an honor and such a joy for us as planner and designers.
Their wedding was as well featured in the blog of the wonderful Magazine I Do Destination. For the full blog entry on I DO Destination just click HERE
I still wanted to share some of my favorite images from their wedding and showcase not only a beautiful event, but one that brings back such fond memories for both Anahi and I and simply makes me smile.
Planning the design with Graham and her mother was a blast. Graham sent me many pictures and inspirational pieces. She is a lot like me and simply loves all beautiful things (So much so, she works at SAKS and was wearing a to die for wedding gown by one of my favorite designers Marchesa!) So I took all the beautiful elements she sent and we came up with what you will see here- I like to call it Bohemian Chic, meets modern preppy. Hope you enjoy!
Graham and Ever (and each and every one of your lovely family members and guests!) We cannot thank you enough for your warm and welcoming personalities. As we always strive to allow our clients to have zero stress on their wedding day, and be able to feel like a guest. You also did the same for us. We both felt as if we were guests at your event. You are such wonderful people and we were so honored to be part of your wedding celebration.

Megan and Sean, a chic pair from California, celebrated their nuptials at breathtaking Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. Their incredible design plan was orchestrated by my sister company, Santa Teresa Beach Weddings and its fabulous co-owner, planner and designer, Anahi. Thirty guests enjoyed the ethereal stylings and soft design palette of the day. The fun personalities of the couple was not overlooked with monkey figurines resting atop the plates at the reception and the most adorable wooden bride and groom dolls standing sweetly as a cake topper.
Megan's gown was so romantic with draped fabric and rose petals floating on the tiers. When she walked down the beach to an altar made of bamboo and white sheers, all eyes were on her. The bouquet, made up of white and light and dark pink roses was perfect with the modern meets victorian classic theme. We loved how she brought the ring holder element from one of our favorite companies, Paloma's Nest. We have been dying to use this company and it was a perfect detail in this awesome mix.
Since a favorite drink of the duo is an icy cold margarita, there of course needed to be several carafes of the beverage ready for the guests as they ventured into cocktail hour. The casual, fun part of Megan and Sean was even captured with little chalkboards on easels that gave everyone the heads up to what they were going to be putting down!
When I first saw the long banquet table all dressed up with pink rose arrangements and white birdcage lanterns holding votives, I was taken aback. Kudos to the most incredibly talented designer and business partner, Anahi Contreas of Santa Teresa Beach Weddings, for rocking out this stunning, magical wedding!! The way she was able to capture all the elements of the couples style and make it all look so seamless is so apparent in the following photos by Comfort Studios. Take a look - I think there is a piece of all of us in this wedding!
Congratulations, Megan and Sean! Thanks for letting us help bring your fantastic style to life and always remember to keep having fun!
