As we kick off the weekend, I’m thrilled to be sharing Sara and Ryan’s enchanting bohemian destination wedding, set against the stunning backdrop of Mexico. The couple opted for a free-spirited, boho-chic vibe that exudes elegance and charm.
The Proposal
Living in Nashville with our loyal pup Louie by our side, my partner and I have shared a passion for travel over the past four years. It’s no surprise that when it came time to plan our special day, we wanted to incorporate this love into our celebration. We got engaged on a breathtaking sunrise hike in Denver, Colorado in August 2019, surrounded by the beauty of nature. As we looked out at the stunning views, we knew we wanted to share our adventure with loved ones and create unforgettable memories together. Our original wedding date was set for May 8, 2020, but as Covid-19 began to spread, we were forced to adjust our plans. We ultimately rescheduled for July 3, 2020, and it turned out to be an absolute dream come true. Through our research and connections with amazing vendors, we felt grateful to have found the perfect partners in bringing our vision to life. The day was everything we had ever hoped for – a true celebration of love and adventure.
The Vision
The aesthetic inspiration for the celebration was a free-spirited bohemian vibe, characterized by a palette of calming neutral tones, accented with lush pampas grass and soft rose hues. The bride’s dress, courtesy of Rue De Seine bridal, stood out in its elegance, while the bridesmaids made a stunning impression in their flowing white attire.
The Music
The musical highlights of the special day began with the groomsmen making their way down the aisle to Christina Perry’s ‘1000 Years’, setting the tone for an unforgettable celebration. The bride then took center stage as she entered to Train’s romantic ballad, ‘Marry Me’. As the newlyweds shared their first dance as a married couple, Maren Morris and Hozier’s haunting duet, ‘The Bones’, filled the air with its emotive lyrics and soaring melodies. Later in the evening, the reception got underway with Kygo’s upbeat hit, ‘Born To Be Yours’, getting everyone on the dance floor. Meanwhile, DJ Alex Cabo spun a genre-bending mix of rap, EDM, and country tracks that kept the party going all night long.
Memorable Moments
As I stood at the threshold of my special day, a flurry of cherished moments unfolded. The morning began with a delightful bridesmaids’ brunch, surrounded by my closest friends as we prepared for the celebration to come. The excitement was palpable as Ryan and I shared our first look of the day, his eyes locking onto mine with adoration. My father’s proud smile as he walked me down the aisle, accompanied by the gentle rustling of my veil, will forever be etched in my memory. As we exchanged our heartfelt vows, the air was thick with emotion. The tender dance that followed, swaying to the rhythm of our favorite tune, was a poignant reminder of the love we share. And when the night drew to a close, our wedding party capped off the evening in style – literally! We took the plunge, jumping into the pool together, surrounded by our nearest and dearest, creating an unforgettable finale to our joyous celebration.
Advice For Other Couples
As the day unfolds, it’s essential not to get bogged down in minute details, but instead, bask in the joy of sharing unforgettable moments with loved ones, including your new spouse. Sara and Patrick, for instance, faced an unprecedented challenge when they had to reschedule their wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the uncertainty, they chose to remain optimistic and took a calculated risk by shifting their original May date to early July. Although it was a stressful experience, they ultimately succeeded in bringing their loved ones together from America to Mexico. The collective support from their guests was a testament to the power of love and resilience. Their intimate wedding celebration was characterized by an electric atmosphere, replete with laughter, love, and unbridled enthusiasm. As Sara and Patrick exchanged vows in the place they had chosen, surrounded by the people dearest to them, it served as a poignant reminder that sometimes, patience is the key to making unforgettable memories.
