Perfect Wedding in Colombia, II
The bad news about today’s first featured affair is that it took place in Colombia, utilizing some of the best local vendors…which of course means that it might be hard to replicate the wedding. The good news is that many of the ideas are completely steal-able and could be done in just about any setting.
Here are a few details from the AMAZING photographers behind the day, Valeria and Juan…
The bride and groom are really good friends of ours, Carlos and Laura, both industrial designers. All of the decorations were handmade by the beautiful bride Laura: the center pieces, the flowers around the altar, the sugar mushrooms in the center pieces, the bouquet…you name it, all was carefully planned and designed by her. The beautiful groom prepared the candle sign in cursive type that you see on the pics as a surprise for Laura who was absolutely thrilled.
The food was a Thai Stir fry, amazing, because once you picked your vegetables you went to a place where there were 4 cheffs each of them with 4 woks and they prepared your dinner with the exact ingredients you wanted: rice or pasta, curry and orange, pepper or tamarindo (a local fruit) sauce, peanuts or sesame. The wedding was catered by Banquetes Santa Mónica. The picture with the chalk board shows how the serving of the food was explained to the guests.
Don’t you agree that there is just something special about this affair? It’s thoughtful, it’s beautiful…and yet it seems so effortless. So lovely in it’s simplicity and style. Thank you so much to Valeria and Juan for introducing me to your work. I can’t wait to see more weddings from you!
Abby, you corrected the way you spelled Colombia--that is great! it is always a pet peeve of mine when people misspell the name of my country. THANK YOU for sharing these photos, my wedding will also be in Colombia and its inspiring to see a beautiful Colombian wedding with gorgeous photography.
Thanks again!
Que lindo! Y los novios tambien. Felicidades!!!
Ok, LOVE this wedding! Any chance those beautiful shoes are available in the US or online?
Those green shoes are to die for! I almost just bought a similar pair on Gilt Groupe (http://www.giltgroupe.com/invite/sl29 if you need an invite)! But, I'm holding out for pink... Love love love the color wedding those thing though! I would die for Louboutins- I go on Gilt almost every day hoping they will have another Louboutin sale!
that dress is just WOW
I love the polka dots on the flower girl dress... anyone know the designer?
the most adorable couple, so sweet
OMG!! I always get so exited when i read Spanish on wedding pictures, es como... presencia latina :) yay!!
I loved the first picture! Es como lo que me gustaria hacer para las mias!
I'd also love to know where I can find those shoes...
Would love to know where that dress is from!! Gorgeous

Love the names in candles. Soo... cute. And the first picture is just perfect.
The gown is made by Juliana Correa from OnA (colombian brand), and the shoes......no idea but probably some other colombian brand!

Hi Guys
i absolutely love the pictures , in fact i have been in contact with Valeria and Juan .
I would like to know where the reception was held . Simon and i will love to celebrate our wedding outdoors, Medellin's weather is perfect . From Oz is quite difficult to find venues like this on the internet so any additional info will be appreciated .
Hi Lynn, this was held in Laura's parents house near Llanogrande Club in Rionegro, If you want Medellín for the weather you should probably do it in the city because in Rionegro where this wedding took place it's cooler and the temperature can drop A LOT during the night. I highly recommend The Botanic Garden, it's a gorgeous location! I got married there myself, also you can check out "Banquetes Santa Monica" which has a couple of venues around the city, or if you want an even warmer weather you can look for old houses in Amagá or Santafé de Antioquia.
I hope this information is useful, and thanks for contacting efeunodos! :D
