This Colombian destination wedding featured rustic vibes with hints of glam! Amanda and Andy immediately fell in love with Colombia on their first visit to Cartagena, so when it was time to select a wedding destination, they knew exactly where to go. The couple chose to decorate their venues with greenery and light tones of peach and white to reflect their love of nature, yet weren’t afraid to glam it up with luxe tablescapes and a totally killer custom Inbal Dror bridal gown. Photographer Donna Irene Muccio captured every stunning moment of Amanda and Andy’s wedding, including their dramatic reception fireworks!

The Wedding:

Sanyo Torribio Church & Santa Clara, Cartagena, Colombia

The most important to us was definitely that we remained aware of what actually getting married means. We noticed that it’s very easy to get carried away in the planning that you forget the real importance, which isn’t the party, but joining together as one! Keeping mind of this really helped us relax and have fun during the entire planning process.

We knew we wanted a 3 day type celebration wedding, so we knew it had to be a destination. My dad was the one who recommended Cartagena, Colombia and we fell in love on first visit! We’re very ‘rustic’ people. We love nature and just the art of being ‘real’ without the extra fluff, so we went a very natural approach! Lots of greenery, and the venue itself smelled amazing from all of the eucalyptus.

I wanted a dramatic train! I think I achieved that goal. My dress is custom by designer Inbal Dror. It took a whole year to make!

Andy got me beautiful earrings and a note before walking down the aisle!

Our favorite photo is the one of us walking down the road right after we got married. It was such a celebration, and we were laughing and dancing in all of the photos… so beautiful!

Our first dance song was You & I by Michael Bublé.

Congratulations to Amanda and Andy, and a huge thanks to Donna Irene Muccio for sharing their wedding with us. Want more Colombia wedding inspiration? Then you’ve got to see this dreamy Colombian wedding in Bogotá!
