What three adjectives best describe your wedding? Fun, loving, fiesta

What inspired your personal wedding style, and how did you incorporate your style and personalities into your big day? I like things clean and simple. I didnt want an overly fussy wedding; I just wanted everyone to have fun. I think that mindset translated throughout the day.

Looking back, what are the moments, decisions or memories that you love the most about your wedding? The best decision we made was hiring a wedding planner. Sayulita Dream Weddings went above and beyond our expectations. One of the moments I love the most from our wedding was when we released the wish lanterns. It was an idea that I wanted to try out but wasnt sure if it would be very cool or very cheesy. The lanterns turned out to be one of the most magical and still talked about moments from our wedding.

Wedding color palette: Grey and Orange

There’s something extraordinarily classic about braids and braided wedding details – in hair styles, in fashion, on tabletops, anywhere! That Grecian aesthetic they impart, and their sculptural beauty that’s deceptively simple to create, make braids an elegant choice for adding interest to any kind of wedding style!

What three adjectives best describe your wedding? Happy, Elegant, Elvis.

What inspired your personal wedding style, and how did you incorporate your style and personalities into your big day? We were surrounded by a great city of great beauty. I think the elegance of the setting dictated a lot. Honestly, once we chose the Ferry Building, everything fell right into place. The lit arches within the building at night felt very strongly architectural. Our rehearsal dinner faced the Golden Gate Bridge and the reception looked out at the Bay Bridge.

I also bought some vintage art deco earrings to wear with my dress, so I am pretty sure that the vintage style started to seep into the wedding planning. Otherwise, it was all about music, drinks, and food. We had trumpets at the church, a jazz band, and a rockin dance band. Elvis drove us away at the end of the night after showing up on stage and surprising everyone, because I always thought Id be married in Vegas!

Looking back, what are the moments, decisions or memories that you love the most about your wedding? All of it! There truly isnt one thing I would change. Someone told us to walk away from the festivities once an hour and just step back and soak it all in. Those are the moments we remember most – that and our whole family dancing with the band.

Wedding color palette? Black and White
