Wedding Inspiration

This Wedding Was Truly Unlike Any Other To Date. We Were Totally Off-grid For This Sustainable Waterfall Wedding. We Traveled To A Remote Location In The National Park Of Rincón De La Vieja. The Ceremony Was By The Las Chorreras Waterfall That Was A 30-minute Ride From The Closest Buildings. It Was Secluded To The Rest Of The World And Gave The Feeling Of Time Stopping In Its Tracks.reagan And Nathan Are Both Americans Living In Beautiful Nosara. Nosara Is A Beachside Paradise With Beautiful Surf Spots And Less Tourism Than The Neighboring Areas.this Paradise Has A Focus On Nature And A Laid Back Atmosphere. This Couple Both Shared A Love And Passion For The Environment And It Showed Throughout Their Wedding. Decor Is An Important Part Of The Wedding For Most Couples, But For Reagan And Nathan, It Was Not Just The Look Of The Decor But Also The Purpose Behind It That Was Important. This Sustainable Mindset Was A Huge Reason We Loved This Couple Right From The Start.their Love For Nature Is Why They Wanted A Remote And Thoughtfully Designed Wedding. They Selected The Perfect Venue, A Beautiful Waterfall Within The Famous National Park Of Rincón De La Vieja. The Couple Really Embraced The Outdoors, Their Ceremony Overlooked The Wonderful Waterfalls Of The Park And Their Reception Tucked Away In The Nearby Forest.their Dream Location Was So Remote That There Was No Road To Access It, Only A Horse Path. So, Of Course, We Hired A Backhoe To Create A Vehicle Accessible Path For The School Bus To Come And Bring The Guests In.with No Electric Source, A Generator Was Brought In To Allow For Music And Twinkling Lights. Paper Straws And Bamboo Plates Eliminated Any Use Of Plastics - Making This A No-waste Wedding. The Furniture Was Made With Local Wood By The Skilled Craftsmen At The Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin. The Florist Kept The Centerpieces Very Natural With Locally Grown Fruit, Mostly Foraged And Local Flowers And Led Candles To Eliminate Waste.this Couple Really Illustrated How You Can Design A Pretty Wedding Without Compromising Your Daily Mission In Preserving The Environment. We Were Totally Charmed By Reagan And Nathan And Loved The Challenge Of Thinking Outside The Box For This Event. We Hope This Continues To Inspire Other Brides For Their Big Day!https://milbesoscostarica.com/gallery/love-stories/sustainable-off-grid-waterfall-wedding/

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
