Garden Wedding at Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm

Taylor & Gustavo

Love and artistry—— these were the guiding stars for Taylor and Gustavo as we began our journey creating their dream wedding day. For this couple, every detail was an ode to their love story, a fusion of whimsy, romance, and an artistic touch inspired by the works of Matisse and early Warhol.

Their vision was crystal clear from the outset—to create an atmosphere where their love would shine effortlessly, enveloping their guests in a bubble of enchantment. The venue held immense significance, boasting the breathtaking bluffs and enchanting greenhouses that perfectly mirrored the energy they felt on this momentous day. And what's a celebration without endless cases of champagne to keep the spirits high?

The design of their wedding was inspired by painterly color palettes reminiscent of a Matisse painting, weaving artistry into every detail. Custom fabrics, created by the bride's own company, added a personal touch that infused the day with unique texture and meaning. These bespoke elements reflected Taylor and Gustavo's love story in a way that was both intimate and grand.

The heart of their ceremony lay in its intimacy and personal touch. Taylor and Gustavo penned their vows, weaving words that echoed the depth of their connection. To add an extra layer of sentimentality, their four sisters took center stage, guiding the ceremony with heartfelt readings and standing proudly by their sides.

Music, an integral part of their journey together, played a pivotal role in setting the tone for various moments throughout the day. Fourteen years of shared memories were encapsulated in a carefully curated playlist, each song evoking emotions that ranged from nostalgia to jubilation. And when the time came for that first kiss, the air was filled with the melodic embrace of "All You Need Is Love," marking the beginning of their forever in a symphony of joy.

From the intimate ceremony through the enchanting cocktail hour, dinner, and the lively dance floor filled with laughter and rhythm, Taylor and Gustavo's wedding embodied love, creativity, and a joyful celebration of their union. It was more than an event; it symbolized the enduring strength of their love with romantic colors of their shared journey.

As the sun set on their special day, Taylor and Gustavo walked hand in hand, hearts full, knowing their wedding truly reflected their deep bond—a celebration that marked the culmination of fourteen years filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.
