Leslie always knew that she was meant to be with Juan. They met when they were teenagers in Mexico; they stayed in touch while attending school in the States; and they know split their time living in California and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
The amazing photographs of their wedding have been provided by Lunaphoto.
So when they started to plan their wedding, Cabo’s Pedregal Beach was the perfect spot. Not only was it where they first fell in love, but it is also where Juan proposed. How perfect! Their wedding consisted of a four-day weekend, filled with a sunset cruise, fabulous meals, horseback rides, and of course – the wedding on the beach!
Leslie’s mermaid-style gown by Pronovias was covered in Spanish lace and had a stunning keyhole back. Her bouquet contained cymbidium orchids, freesia, and lady’s slipper orchids to pick up the lime green in the color palette. They wanted their beach wedding to have a casual vibe, so they laid down coconut mats in the sand. White canopies of fabric attached to bamboo poles helped to shield guests from the hot Mexican sun, and the couple recited their vows in Spanish underneath an arch covered in orchids.
The color palette of the wedding was showcased at the reception. Juan’s favorite blue and Leslie’s favorite green were highlighted by the deep blue glasses and dinnerware, while the centerpieces overflowed with green orchids, freesia and white roses.
Leslie performed a special dance with her flamenco teacher Susan Biali as a surprise for the guests – and for Juan! Afterwards, they had their first dance to the sounds of a mariachi band, the followed by a DJ from Mexico City who kept the party going until 2:30 a.m.! After a fireworks display, guests hit up the food stand set up for a midnight snack with churros and tamales.
