What an elegant wedding it was for Laura and Mike last Saturday evening.

With an understated elegance and thoughtful detail, their wedding was personal and intimate with touches of Mexican charm. Take a look through the photos below to catch a glimpse into their special day.

The boardwalk path was beautifully decorated with white luminarias, leading the guests to the beach ceremony. The candles inside twinkled and glowed as the sun went down.

After the ceremony, the wedding guests gathered on the Villa’s rooftop for champagne and appetizers.The evening’s catering was provided by the Hotel California.
The appetizer menu included flautas filled with goat cheese, roasted peppers and pine nuts, shrimp skewers and mango ceviche.

A ten piece mariachi entertained the group during cocktail hour. They were a lively bunch with choreographed dance moves and song – the guests kicked up their heels and started dancing even before the sun set.And what a sunset it was!

Skeleton keys decorated the guests’ escort cards and The framed the escort card table.

The beautiful tablescapes were breathtaking with glowy candles, light pink roses, glass accents and bright blue tequila favors.The white papel picado flags rustled in the breeze during the couple’s first dance.

Laura & Mike’s cake was a flourless dark chocolate truffle wonder covered in whipped cream.
After they cut the cake, it was time to get the party started!
