“Our decoration was focused on all things Chiapas. The clay doves are the most identifiable product from the region, and we chose to use them for flowers, ashtrays, and candleholders. The round jicaras hold tostadas.”

“The reception was held in a clear tent, and we wanted to keep the decor as natural and true to the surrounding area so you could really feel the beauty and serenity of the mountains.”

"Banquet style table setting in the refectory at The High Line Hotel, florals by Saipua; large floral arrangements with vines from the windows. We featured an assortment of dahlia varieties, which were in season the month that we were married."

“Michael’s last name is Scottish and his paternal grandfather was born there, so as a nod to my new ‘clan,’ I had shawls made in the Macaulay hunting tartan from Lochcarron in Scotland, embroidered with the family motto, Dulce Periculum, which translates to ‘danger is sweet.’”

“Post-ceremony, we moved as a large group down to the beach to another clearing for drinks, and then to picnic tables set for our ‘wedding breakfast.’ Lunch led to dancing under a soft rain, and then a few beautiful speeches by my father and my husband.”

“There were three interconnecting teepees: one for lounging, one for dining, and one for dancing, each with a bonfire in the middle. There was also a bonfire outside which people could sit around on hay bales.”

“Now outside, the final adjustments by stylist Kat Typaldos before walking out. The only sounds here were crickets, laughter, and bamboo leaves.”

“Michael knows cake is extremely important to me, so he told me to dream up the most incredible wedding cake imaginable and just go for it. We went with a carrot cake with layers of buttercream and all sorts of berries bursting out of it.”

“We made a concerted effort to try to pause every so often during the course of the evening and try to remember all the little details. I loved noticing the small elements that made the tablescapes feel so rich: small wildflower and succulent arrangements, bowls of berries and pomegranates, mismatched votives.”

“Everyone enjoying the dinner, our second course of tortellini en brodo was a big hit.”
