A Breathtaking Bride at Casa del Mar

BRIDE & GROOM: Molly & Trey
WEDDING DATE: May 22, 2009
WEDDING LOCATION: Casa del Mar resort, Cabo San Lucas.
GUEST COUNT: 36 guests



"Katie...you should feel free to toot your own horn. You made the wedding what it was. We couldn't have done it without you."
-Molly (Bride)


THE CEREMONY:

The walkway at Casa del Mar is so long & beautiful, affording all wedding guests a great view of the beautiful bride as she walks down the aisle (below, Molly is escorted by her dad). Molly decorated her ceremony chairs with beautiful orange sashes & orange starfish. With the orange petals & the vases filled with orange lilies decorating the aisleway, this ceremony was gorgeous!
A RESORT'S ARCHITECTURE:
One of the great things about having a destination wedding at a gorgeous resort is that the architecture lends itself to such beautiful wedding photos. Casa del Mar is well-known for having really beautiful gardens and fabulous Old Mexican buildings. These are NOT photos you can get in the USA.

RECEPTION DECOR:
Sometimes something as simple as colored glassware and cute photos from the bride & groom's elementary school days are all you need to set a classy and cute table. Molly's colors were turquoise and orange, so the turquoise glassware was perfect. (This is an affordable and easy rental item that you can rent in Cabo.) We also decorated the tables with orange starfish & white shells...lovely!
CASA DEL MAR BEACH CLUB:
This beach club (private, right on the beach, with a pool) is such an ideal location for a reception. It is often difficult to find a truly private location at a resort...but not here. And the palapa is true Cabo! We lined the long walkway to the beach club with luminaries. When these are all lit up at night, it is a fantastic exit for both the bride & groom and all of the guests when the festivities are over.

Sun, Sand & A Mescal Toast: A True Elegant-Rustic Wedding on the Beach

Image
El Pescadero is a little beachfront community about 45 minutes south of the world-famous Cabo San Lucas.  Locals here call it the "Malibu of Cabo" and for good reason.  Dirt roads lead directly to empty, pristine beaches and beautiful villas with rustic palapa roofs directly on the sand. Located on the Pacific ocean, the sun sets right  in front of these villas, dipping behind the horizon.  My bride and groom, Katy and Paul, found out about this paradise while visiting friends who were caretaking in the area. They fell in love with the area and knew immediately that this is where the San Diego couple had to get married! They contacted me, we hit it off, and together we created one of the most unique, special and full-of-love weddings I have had the opportunity to be a part of! (And I've been doing weddings for a long time!)  They rented a private home (and several of the other homes on the bluff for their guests, such as Casa Azul) and we created a ceremony di

I Love Hearing From My Former Brides...

Image
Whenever I am planning a wedding with a bride, we almost always get really close! You can't help but go through such an exciting and intimate time together and not feel really connected! And then the wedding ends, the bride & groom go on their honeymoon, and they begin their Happily Ever After . I miss my brides but feel happy that I have done my part in getting their marriage started on the right foot! But that's what also makes it so special when I hear back from a bride after a few years. I reached out to Traci, this beautiful bride who got married at Casa del Mar a few years ago, to say Happy Birthday to her on Facebook, and got this sweet message back. I'm so happy for her & her growing family! Hi Katie! I think about you often. :) Our wedding literately was one of the most amazing times in my life. And I'm so thankful and grateful for you because without your guidance and experience it wouldn't have been the amazing time it was! As you ca
