Dazzling And Intimate Bogota Wedding

June 9, 2021 | kailey

A bride in an all-white pantsuit, mix-and-match bridesmaid outfits, and a brunch menu—this is the recipe for an authentic, epic celebration that will have nontraditional couples everywhere dreaming of an out-of-the-box wedding day. Daniela and Felipe’s intimate Bogota wedding was full of tears, laughter, and killer wedding day fashion. 

With the help of their trusted wedding vendors, this couple was able to bring their dream wedding to life, despite a pandemic. They wanted a day surrounded by loved ones that celebrated their uniqueness and honored the jaw-dropping, historic architecture of their wedding venue. Floral arrangements by Flores Gracia beautifully dressed the ceremony and reception space—Casa de Rey in Bogotá, Colombia. Aside from the florals, the reception was centered around the desserts, which were handmade by the bride herself. 

We can’t take our eyes off the unique wedding elements captured by photographer Loop Studios. From the mix-max bridesmaid outfits to the muted color palette—no detail of this intimate Bogota wedding was short of amazing. Keep scrolling to see what we mean.

More From Loop Studios On This Intimate Bogota Wedding

A wedding in the historic neighborhood of Bogota between two people who met in their childhood? We love this story. Daniela and Felipe got married in an old and restored house located in the heart of Bogota—with an industrial interior design. 

Daniela picked a stylish suit and headpiece for her wedding, designed by a Colombian fashion designer. The cake and desserts were made by the bride herself—making them really special. The decor of the day was carefully curated to liven up the existing historic architecture. Daniela and Felipe’s wedding was definitely one of our favorite weddings of the season. It was filled with tears, laughs, and beautiful details.

The Importance Of Hiring Trusted Wedding Vendors 

Our biggest wedding advice: have the right assets and people to help make your day come together nicely. We couldn’t have done it without our dear friend and wedding planner Juliana, the best photographer, a great venue, and our floral designer

Grab Your Tissues 

The most memorable moment for everyone would have to be Felipe crying the whole entire symbolic ceremony. Yes! In nine years I hadn’t seen Felipe cry as much as he did then. It was just extra special as one of our dear friends was our officiant. We absolutely cherished having our loved ones with us on our special day during these crazy pandemic times. 

Including Loved-Ones On Your Big Day

We personalized our ceremony by having one of our best friends Irene be our officiant. We asked her if she would help us make a symbolic ceremony and it was the most beautiful thing ever. She got everyone involved by making each one of our guests wish our marriage one single word like happiness, joy, and love.

Working With Photographer Loop Studios

Ever since we saw the Loop Studios on Instagram we knew they had to be at our wedding. Sergio was the kindest and made us feel so comfortable, which was great because Felipe is camera shy.  He got all of the photos we dreamed of and wanted.

Romantic Sail Alchemy Elopement

When a global pandemic caused Leslie and John to re-plan their wedding three times, they decided to take their celebration to the sea. Thankfully, their friends offered their boat to them as the venue location for their stunning elopement. With a sailboat doused in luscious florals and the ocean as their witness, this Sail Alchemy elopement was truly unique and gorgeous. 

Michelle Sobel captured every gorgeous moment of this unique elopement from a tearful first look on the dock, to a Titanic-style kiss at the bow of the boat. Plus, they brought their rescue pup Bonnie who was smiling from ear to ear—how adorable! Keep scrolling for seriously unique elopement inspiration.

First Look at The Dock 

Walking down the dock and getting to see my husband for the first time that day with our puppy Bonnie trailing behind me was my favorite moment of the day.

Wedding Planning Advice

I would recommend getting a day-of-planner even if your wedding is a smaller event. We ran out of time so we just went with the flow, but it’s always helpful to have a wedding coordinator.

Vibrant Destination Indian Wedding In Mallorca

June 7, 2021 | riley

If there’s one thing that we know about love, it’s that it doesn’t discriminate. We’ve seen couples of every shape, size, and color, and we couldn’t be more proud to showcase every kind of love here on Junebug. So, it’s no surprise that we’re currently swooning over Reshma and Tom’s vibrant Mallorca wedding at Es Lloquet.

The multicultural affair–planned by A White Hot Wedding–featured a two-and-a-half-hour Hindu ceremony and a lively reception full of outfit changes and dancing. From the bold red and yellow color palette to the tuc-tuc getaway car decorated in flowers, it had everything you could want in a traditional Indian wedding

Not only did their photographer Inma del Valle capture their day beautifully, but we also love what she had to say when we asked her what excited her most about these unique “I do’s.”

Inma del Valle on What Excited Her About This Wedding

I loved–without a doubt–the colors, traditions, the music, and the special relationship we had with them. It was the most beautiful and complicated wedding I have ever photographed. Tom’s from England and Reshma’s from India, so 250 guests traveled from India and London to Mallorca to attend. It was an authentic Indian wedding with a two-and-a-half-hour ceremony, where we had the opportunity to capture all of the smallest details. Without a doubt, everything that happened at the wedding was magical.

The Couple:

Reshma and Tom

The Wedding:

Es Lloquet, Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Island, Mallorca

Rustic Destination Indian Wedding Vibes

We wanted to create a rustic and traditional Indian wedding featuring deep reds, vibrant yellows, and fiery orange colors. It was important to us that the ceremony took place outdoors, so we designed and built the ‘mandap’–the podium under which the wedding ceremony would take place–to include these colors and complement the elements of a Hindu ceremony.

Including Personal Touches Throughout The Day

We are proud of the personal touches that we included in our wedding. We had a decorative trellis filled with photos of us with all our family and friends, bespoke wedding handouts designed by my cousin, 230 personalized ‘thank you’ notes as favors, activity packs for children, group dances performed by the family, and more! We’re also proud that the ceremony involved our guests in a way that brought both the bride and groom’s family and friends together!

Wedding Advice For Outdoor Weddings

Always have a plan B when planning an outdoor wedding. You can never be sure of the weather, and having a plan B will take away unnecessary stress should the worst happen!

Videography – Alexandra Cabrer Video
