In
addition to that, they found Los Cabos quite beautiful and easily
accessible from the States.“We are at our happiest when we
are on our yearly vacation in Cabo, and we wanted to recreate that
feeling for our wedding, and our friends.”
Accommodations:
Aline
and Craig wanted to offer at least three accommodation options to
their guests. Most everyone chose Villa La Estancia.
The
concept: The venue itself had a very warm feeling
that we accentuated with dozens of candles. Aline chose white flowers
with a touch of blue. All the arrangements were made by Pina Hernandez,
florist designer.
The
vendors: The couple wanted to embrace Mexican ambiances.
They had a Mexican trio welcome guests on the terrace, then a Mariachi
band after the ceremony, and finally, during the reception, guitar
player Adan Mijares provided the musical entertainment.
The
ceremony: Aline and Craig exchanged vows on Mona
Lisa’s ocean-front terrace, which overlooks Cabo San Lucas’s
famous Arch. Reverend Marco Aréchiga performed the ceremony
The
rehearsal dinner: A Mexican dinner was held at Mi
Casa Restaurant, where tables were draped with traditional Mexican
linens.
The
challenge: “The
most difficult part happened to also be the most pleasant part –the
planning.” For Aline it was initially difficult because she wanted
to have so much involvement in the little details of the wedding. Not
being just a drive away can be a big challenge.
The
reward: “It
ended up being the best thing ever! It was great to know where I was
having a wedding, and then relinquish some control to someone who
new the area, the vendors, and could take care of all the little things.
It was awesome to show up and have everything perfect and beautiful.”
