Real Wedding: Sara and David, II
Here are more gorgeous photos, shot by the wonderfully talented Mindy Meyer (whose site is filled to the brim with eye candy)…
From the bride, Sara…
When designing our wedding, I found that I wanted a Mexico in Iowa feel. I was really inspired by loteria cards, as they are quirky and strange and beautiful. Thus, we used them in our invitations, in our programs, and in the decorations. They were a starting off point for our entire wedding style.
We wanted to keep our wedding very personal, very intimate. Our food was all made by David’s mother and grandmother from old family recipes. The wedding was held in a museum at the University that we attend that was featuring a contemporary Mexican artist, a celebration of David’s heritage. And the reception was held at a Bed and Breakfast called Montebello – which is locally owned and filled with really great Mexican design and art.Paired with the gorgeous Iowa cornfields, it suited us to perfection.

Beautiful photos! I think you mean Mindy Myers though (you have Mindy Gayer as the photographer in the first paragraph). She photographed our wedding as well, she's amazing!
The cutout hanging banners SO remind me of Romancing the Stone the movie! VERY cool idea.
she might be the prettiest bride i have ever seen!!! stunning!
I love this wedding. Loteria cards and papel picado banners are also a big part of our wedding decor.
Everything in this wedding is so beautiful. I'm wondering where people are finding the papel picado banners? Long story short, I'm Canadian, he's Peruvian, we met while working in small town Mexico. So I want to have a very international wedding - but with the budget of two grad students. :) I was thinking the cut out tissue paper that I loved while I was there would be perfect for decorating, only I can't just head back to Mexico to find some!
Hi Jennifer!
I got the papel picado on the internet . . . I'll look through my receipts and found out from where. Hm.
In any case, we spent our summer in Michoacan and Mexico City and walked from papeleria to papeleria in market after market and didn't find any papel picado that was for wedding . . . mostly it was for Dia de los Muertos - which was a little more hip and edgy than we were ready for. :) Good luck with your planning. I will post again when I find the on-line souce.

Who did your invitations/programs? Do you have any more pictures? It's exactly what I've been wanting to use.
I absolutely LOVE them!
I love the pictures! We are considering having our wedding at Montebello B&B also, & was wondering if you had more pictures of the grounds? Please let me know.
Thanks!
Who did your invitations? I love these.
Where did you find the loteria cards that are shown?
Where did you get your loteria cards at? I'm using these for our wedding too, but they don't look anything like yours! Thanks!
Hello,
I have to say that I admired your theme as it is one that I will be playing with.
The loteria cards were beautiful! I would like to see more or ask who the artist was?
Please send her information my way. Thanks!
Stephanie
I would also love to know where you found the loteria cards at. I'm thinking of using them for place cards for our wedding in Sayulita, Mexico on 2/5/11. Please let me know if you can!
Thanks,
Willow
Hello!
I am sorry that I didn't report back sooner! The loteria cards were ordered from this site:
http://www.teresavillegas.com/loteria/ .
The artist Teresa Villegas did a really amazing art exhibit with large(r) painting featuring each loteria image and then scaled them down to make a card set.
I noticed on her website the prints are listed for sale - hopefully, this will push you in the right direction.
Best of luck on your wedding plans and in your married life!
Sara
