They Lead A Healthy Active Lifestyle So It Was No Surprise That They Met At The Gym. Back In 2015, Craig Was A Part-time Trainer At His Friend's Fitness Studio. Jen Popped In A Class With A Friend And Craig Ended Up Being Her Instructor. The Connection Was Undeniable And Unlike Anything They Had Ever Felt. Fast Forward Three Months Later, Craig And Jen Were Living Together And Have Been Inseparable Ever Since. then Began Countless Date Nights With Dirty Martinis For Him And Cosmos For Her. Followed By Days Being Active, Going For Runs, Or Working Out Together. They Love Hiking Difficult Mountain Trails, Lounging In The Pool, And Their Favorite Is Casual Nights At Home With A Bottle Of Good Wine And Great Conversation. They Enjoy Trying New Things Like Going To A Variety Of Concerts, Everything From Country To Edm To Andrea Bocelli. They Like To Get Outdoors And Soak Up As Much Sunshine As Possible Since Relocating To Arizona From Wisconsin.the Engagement Was Cozy And At Home, Just Like The Bride Wanted! The Only Two Witnesses Were Their Fur Babies, One Husky And One Belgian Malinois. It Was Simple, Intimate, And Perfect, No Extravagance Necessary. They Wanted The Same Intimate Natural Feel For Their Destination Wedding.jen And Craig Take A Caribbean Vacation Once A Year But They Wanted To Try Something New And Visit Costa Rica. They Knew They Wanted A Beach Wedding With An Ocean Backdrop Because They Really Love That Coastal Romantic Feel. However, Jen Wanted An Off-beach But Near Beach Ceremony Location. It Was Important To Them That The Ceremony Setting Was As Intimate As Possible With No Tourists And Onlookers Walking By. Like Most Couples Who Plan From Abroad, They Didn't Know Where To Start! So We Jumped In And Helped Them Plan Every Detail.when Searching For The Perfect Venue They Said "5 Star All-inclusive Resorts Are Typically Our Go-to, But We’re Also Interested In Other Locations That Offer More Seclusion And Privacy For The Wedding." They Wanted A Venue That Fit Their Intimate Guest List Of 20 Guests From Wisconsin On The Same Property, Without Sharing A House. We Knew Just The Place! Westin Playa Conchal Allowed Us To Combine The All-inclusive Resort With An Intimate Ceremony And Reception Space. The Zen Garden At Westin Was Perfect For The Ceremony, It's Elevated Positioning, Coastal Views And A Cool Tree Created The Ultimate Intimate Vibe. Costa Rica Is So Gorgeous, We Simply Wanted To Enhance The Natural Beauty It Offers.when We Started Planning The Wedding Design We Aimed To Embody The Beachy Elegant, Understated, And Bright Style That The Couple Loved. We Wanted To Make This Intimate Wedding More Personalized, Nontraditional, And Relaxed. We Pulled Inspiration From The Warm Weather, Ocean Waves, And Bright Pretty Colors. We Decided On A Sunrise Color Theme With Pinks, Yellows, Corals, And Gold With Warm Wood Contrasts Throughout The Wedding. The Ceremony Featured Rounded Back Chairs With White Cushions That We Really Loved! We Lined The Aisle With Terra Cotta Planters And Local Plants. The Arch Was A More Modern Gold Frame With Bright Florals.after The Big Kiss, Everyone Headed To The Beach To Take Photos And Soak In The Colorful Costa Rican Sunset. For The Reception, We Headed To The Open-air Covered Rooftop. For This Part Of The Design, We Incorporated Touches Of Deep Blue Into The Tablescape With The Glasses And Napkins. We Created A Natural Garland Of Greenery, Local Fruit, Tapered Candles, And Flowers For The Centerpieces. We Focused More On Lighting Elements Than Florals For An Elegant And Intimate Glow.the Story Doesn't End There! Head To Our Website To See More!captured By Bacalao Films

Houston Residents, Brooke And Shahin, Had Previously Visited Costa Rica Twice And Knew Costa Rica Was The Perfect Fit For Their Wedding. The Couple Had Traveled Around The Mid-pacific Region And Mountainous La Fortuna But Wanted To Hold Their Wedding In A New Location. They Wanted To Invite Their Family And Friends To Not Only Celebrate Their Wedding But Enjoy A Fun Vacation In A Sunny, Beach Destination, So They Decided That The Guanacaste Province Was A Great Fit.the Couple Selected Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica For Their Wedding Venue. One Of The Great Things About Holding A Wedding In Guanacaste Is That The Liberia International Airport Is Located Close By, Making Travel Easy On Your Guests. In Fact, The Papagayo Peninsula Is Just 40 Minutes From The Airport.brooke’s Style Is Romantic All The Way, Soft Colors, Draping Fabric, Gold Details. Shahin’s Style Is More Modern, So We Incorporated That By Using Ghost Chairs For The Ceremony And Details Such As The Geometric Cake Stand.we Went With A Clean Design Consisting Of Soft, Elegant Flowers In White (roses And Tulips), Tropical Greenery, Some Gold Accents, Minimal Touches Of Soft Pink With King Proteas, And Small Touches Of Navy.see The Full Wedding Gallery Here: Https://milbesoscostarica.com/gallery/love-stories/brooke-shahin/
