Natalie and Will had two requirements when they started wedding planning: warm and fun. In practice, that became a private desert venue outside San Jose del Cabo, Bird of Paradise orange woven through the details, dinner that guests are still talking about, and a reception designed to get progressively louder as the night went on. Their Monte Cardon wedding moved through different corners of the property, from an outdoor ceremony surrounded by desert, mountains, […]

Ocean Views and Island Vibes at This Casa Coco Jewish Beach Wedding
Three days of celebrations unfolded on Isla Mujeres, beginning with a Jewish ceremony overlooking the ocean at Casa Coco and ending with an Ibiza-inspired after-party complete with fire performers, dancers, and a Mayan sunrise show. But the forecast almost rewrote the entire weekend. Rain poured down that morning, and the ceremony was close to being moved indoors. Then, just two hours before guests arrived, the clouds broke, revealing the sunset the couple had been hoping […]
Lace, Earth Tones, and Effortless Elegance in this Casa San Jose Destination Wedding
Family linens, everyday napkins, and the couple’s own cake knife all found their place at Casa San Jose. Rather than filling the tables with objects chosen just for one day, Logan and Tom surrounded their 50 guests with pieces that already belonged to their lives, giving the weekend a character that couldn’t have been replicated with rentals alone. The Dallas couple met at a mutual friend’s party in New York. When it came time to […]
This Tibumana Waterfall Elopement in Ubud, Bali Was an Intimate Family Affair
A 24-hour flight, a five-year-old flower girl, and a ceremony beside Tibumana Waterfall made Alissa and Daquan’s Bali wedding feel like a family vacation with a wedding built into it. Before they exchanged vows beneath the trees, their closest loved ones spent several days exploring Ubud together, visiting elephant parks, monkey forests, and local restaurants before gathering at the falls for an intimate ceremony. Global events nearly changed those plans. Flight cancellations meant several members […]
Infectious Summer Music Festival Energy at this 600-year-old Ibiza Finca Wedding
By the time Susie and Justin’s ceremony began, the celebration had already been unfolding for days. Guests had watched the sun dip into the Mediterranean at Experimental Beach Club, danced until morning at Pacha, and eased into an intentionally unscheduled recovery day before the festivities picked back up. By the time everyone gathered beneath the olive trees at Las Cicadas, introductions were no longer necessary. Their Ibiza Finca wedding had already done what they hoped […]
This Ayana Resort Bali Wedding Went From Breezy Cliffside Ceremony to Retro Theater Reception
A cliffside ceremony overlooking Jimbaran Bay, colored smoke drifting into the sky after the first kiss, and a reception that swapped tropical scenery for a retro-inspired theater filled with red drapery and candlelight—this Ayana Resort Bali wedding balanced relaxed vacation energy with a party that kept guests dancing long after dinner. Siri and Johnathan built an entire weekend around their guests, from encouraging everyone to embrace a dopamine-colored dress code to designing an interactive welcome […]
When a Master Sommelier Gets Married in the Dolomites, the Wine List Is Just the Beginning
Melissa and Jim’s Hotel La Perla wedding managed to give the wine list equal billing with the mountains surrounding it. Hosted in Corvara with only 40 guests, the celebration traded elaborate themes for exceptional bottles, long meals, and a weekend that gave everyone time to slow down and enjoy the Dolomites. Melissa, the Events Director at Verve Wine Chicago, and Jim, a Master Sommelier, planned the celebration around the things they care about most. Every […]
This Wedding at Hacienda San Cristóbal Is a Love Letter to Contemporary Mexican Design
For Anette and Antonio, their wedding weekend became an introduction to Mexico for the family and friends who had traveled from around the world to celebrate with them. It began with cocktails in the heart of Mexico City’s Historic Center before moving to Hacienda San Cristóbal, where centuries-old adobe walls, regional cuisine, mariachi music, and a traditional charro horse performance welcomed 130 guests over the course of the celebration. Every stop added another layer […]
This Couple Renovated a 30-Year-Old Family Farm to Host Their Dream Wedding in São Paulo
The family farm in Amparo had been largely untouched for three decades, but instead of booking a traditional venue for their Sao Paulo wedding, Johanna and Murilo decided to restore the property from the ground up. The project became much more than a place to host guests. It gave both sides of their family—coming from Brazil, Germany, and beyond—a reason to gather in one place that would continue to belong to the family long after […]
This Fronton Bucareli Wedding Paired Jaw-Dropping Design With a Day Full of Surprises
There was never a point during Kiana and Hector’s wedding when guests could predict what would happen next. At Fronton Bucareli, each part of the celebration revealed something new, from a courtyard ceremony and a hidden cocktail lounge to a dramatic reception space unveiled behind curtains. Along the way came a donkey named Nacho, a roaming magician, a surprise drag performance, and a dance floor that stayed busy well into the night. That sense of […]
