This Eight Day Celebration Is What Destination Weddings Are All About

You know what’s better than spending one day in celebration of your wedding? Spending eight. And that’s exactly what the handsome duo of Yahwe and Luca did – turned to the team at Del Cabo Weddings to plan an epically good time that included yacht parties, beach days and, of course, an awesome seaside ceremony. And guess what? We’re loving every minute.

When your guests travel from 30+ countries from across the globe (including Italy, France, New Zealand and Argentina), you better believe an amazing time will be waiting. And as CEO of Del Cabo Weddings, Yahwe Garcia most definitely understood. Together with his stylish hubs, Luca, and the talented team of designers and planners at Del Cabo Weddings, he managed to host a celebration that guests are surely still talking about. Think a trend-setting eight day celebration in Baja’s La Paz and Cabo San Lucas. There were even Madonna and Beyonce impersonators. And you know that’s awesome.

Tackling your very own week (or more) celebration may sound intimidating – especially if it’s not in your very own backyard. But trust Yahwe and Luca on this one – Del Cabo Weddings has you covered. With their 30+ years of experience, amazing vendor list and fab relationships with every venue in Cabo San Lucas and San Jose Del Cabo, they can do everything from plan your rehearsal dinner to organize those welcome bags. They even have a techie team and landscapers that can guarantee your day is as dreamy as you always wanted. And did we mention their three warehouses filled with decor?!?

Time Seems to Stop for This Mexico City Bridal Inspo

Flickering candlelight, rich hued blooms, and a picturesque historical venue where times seems to have stopped set the stage for this Mexico City bridal shoot, dreamed up by Aurelia Eventos and Nancy Liu Chin Floral + Event DesignKevin Chin Photography effortlessly captured their vision of a quaint and romantic reception, and we have it all for you right here in the Vault.

From Nancy Liu Chin Floral + Event DesignWhen I was planning my own wedding to photographer Kevin Chin, I wanted a small wedding with one single long table and just a dozen family and close friends sharing a beautiful but thoughtful meal. I pictured a romantic gown that was either strapless or slightly cap sleeved, fresh yet bold accented flowers that were lush and flowey, and light from tapered candles flicking as the sun set in a picturesque villa far, far away from my own urban city life in San Francisco. Kevin also wanted a small wedding with little fanfare as the most interesting part of the wedding is the journey, and a destination wedding would be on heck of a beautiful journey. Though Kevin and I didn’t quite have that dream wedding (blame the parents), we still dream that dream.

Often when I design a wedding, I hope for a client who will take me to a romantic villa in the South of France, Tuscany, English countryside, or rural Mexico, so when the opportunity came to collaborate with Claudia Chapa of Aurelia Eventos on an inspired wedding shoot in Mexico City, I couldn’t stop myself. I should say WE couldn’t stop ourselves, so we jumped in without pause.

Our inspired design included Mexican tile work, vintage books wrapped with twine, mojito hued velvet ribbon in a spool, romantic lace, and citrus colors. Mexico City itself was a surprisingly wonderful and welcoming backdrop. Often people forget that Mexico, in particularly Mexico City, was greatly influenced by Europe – especially Spain and France. Claudia was our wonderful coordinator and eye on the street, and she searched high and low for a venue in Mexico City that felt like it belonged in a rural, romantic, quaint Mexican village but was in fact in historical, downtown Mexico City. The charming Universidad del Claustro de Sor Juana, which holds large wedding receptions, was the perfect venue. We hope you love it as much as Claudia and we do.

Saturday Morning Movie: Traditional Mexican Hacienda Wedding

Happy Saturday morning! No need to attack that to-do list just yet; it’s the weekend and you deserve a break (am I right or am I right!?). So pour a second cup of coffee and settle in for some good vibes with this wedding clip courtesy of Light Cannon Films. It has transatlantic love, a gorgeous gown and a sweet, emotional Mother of the Groom – what more could you ask for?

From Light Cannon Films… When Ana called us over a year before her wedding and asked us to be a part of her big day in Mexico City, it seemed like a dream. But it didn’t get any more real as the day approached; and the actual wedding was the most surreal part. Not only did we have the thrill of seeing another culture’s celebration of love, we got a glimpse into the lives of two people who we will never forget.

Ana and Evan met in Paris while both studying abroad, but it wasn’t until their tour was almost over that they realized they didn’t want to be apart. So, Evan vowed to buy a ticket to visit Ana in Mexico City, a promise Ana didn’t yet understand the depth of. Evan held true to his word and immersed himself in Ana’s world, even learning Spanish and working for her father. When they faced obstacles that came from an international relationship, they overcame them. When they could have easily decided it would be simpler to part ways and live their separate lives, they held fast to each other and came out stronger.

It’s no wonder that their wedding day was the most epic beginning to the Perrys’ forever. From a riverboat rainstorm to a traditional church in the heart of Mexico City, to a breathtaking vintage hacienda for a reception that lasted all night, their rehearsal and wedding was a non-stop celebration of two becoming one.
