This wedding brought the magic of fairy tales to life, and the result was stunning! Liz and Aaron celebrated an ultra-romantic wedding in Los Cabos, an intimate, warm, and heartfelt event surrounded by breathtaking views. Discover the details of this couple’s “I DO”, the perfect union to inspire and celebrate your own love story in one of the world’s most beautiful places.

Planning this Ultra-Romantic Wedding

When we met Liz and Aaron, we were working with a dream couple! From the start, we knew their top priority was to create an intimate destination wedding with their closest family members, set against a stunning backdrop with beautiful décor and spectacular views. They wanted a celebration dedicated to their love story, with an aesthetic that highlighted textures, organic details, and fairy-tale-inspired colors.

Our communication with them was smooth and fun, making the planning process relaxed yet perfectly aligned with their expectations and vision for their big day. We knew this experience had to be unique, fully tailored to their personalities, and dream of starting a new family together.

Their priorities centered on having a fantastic party with a great DJ to keep their guests entertained, delicious food, an intimate and emotional ceremony, a talented photographer, and a venue where all parts of their wedding could take place.

The Design

A key focus for this ultra-romantic wedding was designing a transformative space that embodied romance in every detail. We used a color palette of white, beige, gold, cream, terracotta, and soft pink. This combination brought out the natural, elegant, and timeless essence of every detail, including the bride’s bouquet.

For the reception décor, we incorporated mesh runners that added a soft, romantic touch, perfectly complementing the flowers and lighting at the venue.

As a heartfelt element, we designed a special table to honor loved ones who couldn’t be there. Adorned with photos, flowers, and candles, it was a nostalgic and meaningful tribute for Liz and Aaron.

Fun was also a priority for the couple, so one of the most enjoyable moments was the Photo Booth guest book. Guests took playful pictures and left sweet messages for the couple, adding a personal and interactive touch to the celebration.

To ensure everything was perfect, Liz and Aaron made inspection visits a few months before the wedding. After reviewing several options, they chose Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos as their dream venue.

Finding the perfect dream team involves several factors, from availability to service quality and budget. We assembled the best team to make this couple’s dreams come true.

The I DO

The design and inspiration behind this ultra-romantic wedding were straight out of a dream, and every moment of the day reflected that emotion. Liz and Aaron made the most of their “I DO” and enjoyed every second.

The festivities began with a beachside welcome party, where guests soaked in the sunset while enjoying Latin music, delicious cocktails, and Mexican appetizers.

The next morning, Liz started her day with a relaxed and joyful getting-ready session, surrounded by her mom, sister, and closest friends. We love seeing brides toast and savor every moment as they prepare to look spectacular on their big day.

The First Look always melts our hearts. This time, the talented wedding photographer Frank Tesisteco chose a location that made this moment even more magical. Afterward, the family photos were the perfect warm-up for a deeply romantic ceremony.

Family photos held special importance for Liz. Just days before the wedding, her father had been hospitalized and couldn’t attend the event. To make her feel close to him, we set up a video call so he could see her dressed as a bride and share a few precious moments with her.

Additionally, we adjusted the ceremony and dance schedule so Liz could share these moments with her brothers instead of her father.

The ceremony was a once-in-a-lifetime event, with the ocean as a backdrop and a promise of love that none of us will ever forget. Afterward, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour in a garden overlooking the stunning Los Cabos Sea.

At the reception, the newlyweds made their grand entrance to “Sing Sing” by Stevie Wonder. They shared their first dance to “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You”, a touching moment that left everyone in awe.

During dinner, the speeches were accompanied by glasses of champagne. The groom’s parents kicked off the toasts with heartfelt words, followed by Liz’s mother and brother.

After dinner, Liz and Aaron expressed their gratitude to their guests, leading into the dances. The groom shared a sweet dance with his mother, and Liz had an emotional dance with her three brothers, a moment that set the stage for the party.

The night was filled with joy, featuring a live DJ, Photo Booth fun, and amazing drinks—a celebration to remember!

The next day, Liz and Aaron went to one of the most scenic spots for a “trash the dress” photo session. We’re still in awe of how stunning those pictures turned out!

Romance was the defining element of this wedding. We adore celebrations filled with love, heartfelt emotions, and endless fun. Liz and Aaron showed us that simplicity never goes out of style. Less is more!
