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.

El Dorado Elegance - Paulina & Mike

BRIDE & GROOM: Paulina & Mike WEDDING DATE: Sat, April 17, 2010 LOCATION: Rehearsal Dinner: Private Villa, Wedding & Reception: El Dorado Beach & Golf Club NUMBER OF GUESTS: 68 Back Story: I met Paulina's mom, Rocio, in the midst of coordinating an earlier El Dorado wedding (see previous blog for Heather & Alan's wedding.) She saw how beautiful Heather & Alan's wedding was and said, "I know my daughter, Paulina, wants her wedding to be here too." From that moment on, Rocio & I hit it off, and her daughter, Paulina, the bride, was just as beautiful and gracious as her mother. We had a great year together planning Paulina & Mike's wedding. (I also did Rocio's wedding on El Dorado's yacht, El Discovery, soon after we met...but that is another story...and another blog...) The Ceremony Decor: Paulina had a great sense of color and knew she wanted to include a chandelier in her ceremony decor. I drove this chandelier down the
