GRANDIOSE BEACH WEDDING WITH COLORFUL ACCENTS AND TROPICAL DETAILS: KAREN & JUSTIN

featured wedding dress designer

made with love

if their first date was a christmas miracle, their wedding day was a coastal marvel. "although the date didn't last too long, as justin had a red-eye that night to go back home for the holidays, they both went home with a buzz, but not from the alcohol. as each spent time with their family the next few days, they both shared the story of a christmas miracle in meeting their match... and the rest, they say, is history."

just a few short days after valentine's day 2021, karen said yes to her stunning 'riley' by made with love wedding dress at a&bé sacramento. this plunging neckline made with love bridal gown was the perfect mix of casual and luxe for the couple's charming beach wedding on the gulf of california. with elegant lace embroidery and breathtaking removable tulle bridal wings that attached at the shoulder, #aandbabe karen was a vision as she made her way down the grassy aisle.

the altar, much like the rest of the this tropical wedding venue, was accented with vibrant colors and darling destination wedding details. bright pink flowers covered their wedding arch and similar floral arrangements could be found beside the cacti and palm trees that surrounded their enchanting mar del cabo beach wedding.

from breathtaking wedding photos standing on top of the boutique hotel's tiled stairs to private beach balcony bridal portraits with a pink wedding bouquet, karen looked elegant in every effortless shot. the night ended in dancing on their wooden wedding dance floor under bistro lights and guests standing barefoot as they watched spectacular wedding fireworks being set off in the distance.

"it was the most magical day in every sense of the word - beautiful setting, with my forever person, surrounded by our favorite people, and celebrated with what we consider to be one of the best parties we've ever been to! can you say dancing?" from the looks of their beach reception with rocky barriers to the rattan wedding chairs at their outdoor wedding ceremony, we'd say there's no better way to celebrate your marriage than watching the gulf sunset with your best friends and family by your side.
