This Fun-loving Couple Lives In Hollywood, California. Niccolo Is German And His Bride Meghan Is American. They Actually Hired Us With A Short Time Frame To Plan This Destination Wedding. This Couple Really Wanted A Beach Wedding And Booked Everything Themselves For Easter Week. Little Did They Know How Busy And Hectic That Weekend Is In Quepos, Costa Rica, And Hired Us To Help Them Save The Date! They Had Already Planned The Time That They Wanted The Wedding And It Was Actually During High Tide. Little Did They Know That There Definitely Wasn't Space For 100 Guests On The Beach! The Main Beach Is Way Too Busy And Finding Somewhere To Park And Gather Would Have Been Impossible. Once They Realized, We Had To Find A New Solution.we Adapted Everything. We Actually Found A Lot Of Land That Surrounds A Small Beach In The Area. It Is Occasionally Reached By People Taking A Long Hike. We Worked With The Owner To Turn A Walking Path Into A Dirt Road To Allow Drivable Beach Access To The Viewpoint!all Of The Guests Walked Out To The Private Beach With A View Of The Waves Crashing On The Shore. The Ceremony Was Just Above The Sand On The Rocky Part Because Of High Tide. We Had Chairs Set Out Facing The Water And Used Palm Leaves To Line The Natural Rug Aisle. The Couple Stood Under A Beautiful Tepee Arch Decorated With Tropical Florals. They Said Their Vows By The Water And Got The Easter Quepos Beach Wedding Of Their Dreams.the Groom Wanted To Honor His Heritage And Wore Attire Is From A Designer In Africa. They Also Incorporated A Tradition Of Jumping Over The Broomstick In The Ceremony. This Is An African American Tradition That Has Older Origins Dating Back To The Mid 19th Century. It’s Done At The End Of The Wedding Ceremony After The Kiss, The Groom Sweeps The Ground, Symbolic Of Being The Provider, Then Lays The Broom On The Ground And They Jump Over It Together And Walk Down The Aisle As Mr. + Mrs. We Love When A Couple Incorporates Their Meaningful Touches Into The Big Day.they Held Their Reception At The Villa Punto De Vista Rooftop. This Venue Has A Stunning View Too! It Perches High On A Bluff, Overlooking The Sparkling Blue Ocean On The Pacific Coast. We Lit Everything With String Lights And Created A Tropical Glam Look. Simple Palm Leaves Under The Plates And In The Floating Candles With Bright Pink Tropical Flowers. We Added In Some Glam In The Gold-rimmed Plates, Cutlery, And Sequin Tablecloths On The Cocktail Tables.this Destination Wedding In Costa Rica Was Exactly What This Couple Wanted. On The Beach With Neverending Views Surrounded By Their Loved Ones.

Costa Rica Was Always On The To-do List Of Destinations For This Adventurous Couple. Kristen Said “we’ve Always Been Drawn To Costa Rica. We Wanted To Go Somewhere Where We Could Surf, Go Zip Lining, And Have A More Eventful Type Of Celebration.” However, Believe It Or Not, This Dreamy Cala Luna Wedding Was Not What They Originally Planned.when Imagining Their Perfect Wedding This Couple Hadn’t Always Pictured An Intimate Family Wedding. Kristen Said “we Went Back And Forth Quite A Bit On What Type Of Wedding We Wanted To Have. Casey Really Wanted To Elope So We Started To Plan That. Then Two Months Before The Wedding, We Started Missing Our Families While Abroad And Quickly Realized How Important It Was For Us To Have Our Family There Too." She Contacted Us And We Immediately Made All Of The Changes.the Guest List Now Jumped Up To 12. We Invited The Parents, Siblings And Grandparents Then Planned Everything For Them - From Transportation To Accommodation And Every Meal In Between. This Made It Such An Easy Decision And Took All The Stress Away.celebrating With The People They Love In The Destination Of Their Dreams, The Happy Couple Is Thrilled With The Overall Decision Of Not Having A Traditional Wedding. Everything From The Price To The Stress Levels Is A Lot Lower When Planning A Destination Wedding Kristen Says, “i’d Make The Same Decision A Million More Times.”the Cala Luna Is An Awesome Wedding Venue Located On A Secluded Slice Of Pristine Beach Called Playa Langosta, Just A Few Steps From The Pacific Ocean Known For Some Of The Most Spectacular Sunsets. We Loved Every Detail Of This Wedding From The Florals To The Reception.kristen And Casey Had A Wonderful Langosta Beach Ceremony, And Even Though Mother Nature Didn’t Cooperate Adding A Slight Rain Shower, This Wonderful Couple Continued Through The Ceremony And Photoshoot With The Costa Rican “pura Vida” Attitude Before Heading Back To The Celebrations!kristen Shared Some Advice For Other Brides Planning Their Perfect Destination Wedding. “listen To People, But Remember That Trying To Please Everyone Will Drive You To The Brink Of Insanity. In The End, I Know That I Would Have Gone Crazy Trying To Plan A Big Wedding We Didn’t Want In Order To Please Everyone Around Us,” She Says. “overall, Though, Have Fun With It. Don’t Begin Your Marriage In A Financial Hole You Created To Make Other People Happy. I Strongly Suggest Using A Wedding Planner For A Destination Wedding If You’ve Never Visited The Location Before. Meghan Really Gets All Of The Credit For The Planning. We Didn’t Have To Worry About A Thing.”see This Full Wedding Gallery On Https://milbesoscostarica.com/gallery/love-stories/cala-luna-wedding/video Captured By Nel Llanos
