Annel and Brett really wanted a special celebration with their favorite people. So when the time came to tie the knot, they knew exactly where the ideal location would be. The bride’s childhood summers in the Dominican Republic inspired her to share her culture with their loved ones, making a Casa de Campo destination wedding the perfect choice. While the couple’s parents favored classic styles, the pair leaned towards more unique and whimsical. They challenged their wedding planners, asking them to mix these two different styles. Everything from welcome gifts to floral arrangements embraced an elevated tropical theme. It’s safe to say that their big day turned out exceptionally well, surpassing their expectations!

Set against the backdrop of a lush garden overlooking the tropical landscape, their garden ceremony was overflowing with lush white florals, creating a stunning setting for their vows. The following opulent ballroom reception dazzled with its show-stopping decor, elegant chandeliers, and dramatic lighting. The celebration was elevated further with the addition of fireworks and a shower of confetti, setting a tone of grandeur and festivity.

The couple truly went above and beyond to create an unforgettable wedding for their loved ones. Fortunately, we have stunning photos captured by the talented Juenbug member Ana Hinojosa, showcasing every special moment from this remarkable Casa de Campo destination wedding. And you can find all the lavish tropical wedding inspiration with just a scroll.

Why They Decided to Have a Casa de Campo Destination Wedding

I spent the summers of my youth in the Dominican Republic and wanted to share my culture with my husband, friends, and future family. Casa de Campo was the perfect venue that tied in a romantic Mediterranean-style village with the vibrant personality of the Dominican Republic. My parents have a classic sense of style, while my husband and I are drawn to more whimsical and unique looks, so we challenged our wedding planners to blend the two concepts. And because of the wedding’s location, everything from the arrival gifts to the flower arrangements had roots in tropical flora.

The Best Moments of Their Casa de Campo Destination Wedding

Brett: Reading my vows to Annel. Living a moment I had thought about for quite some time was surreal. The sensation of the experience is hard to put into words—it may be best described as a natural high. I was buzzing.
Annel: Being in a room surrounded by our friends and family. I loved that no matter where I looked, my eyes locked with someone I adore and cherish. The air radiated with love, and my cheeks were sore from smiling that day.
