Sara and Matt held their beautiful destination wedding on a glorious, sunny day in Puerto Vallarta.  We’ve had some rain scares recently, so it was fabulous to see such a nice sunny day with gorgeous blue skies.  I loved the colors that Sara and Matt picked out for their wedding- vivid pinks and greens, which stood out beautifully.  Even the buganvilias outside the hotel provided us with a similar color scheme!  The group was so much fun- they hit the dance floor immediately and they never stopped!  Even the parents of the bride and the groom spent most of the night on the dance floor!  Here are a few of my favorites from the day:

Katherine and Paul were married a week and a half ago at the beautiful Playa Fiesta Hotel in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  We had a rain scare during their wedding week (unheard of in January in Puerto Vallarta)- as a matter of fact, I took that waterspout photograph (a few posts down) the day before their wedding- Katherine and Paul took it all in stride, though, and we ended up having beautiful weather on their wedding day!  One little touch from their wedding that I loved– they draped a fedora over the chairs of all the guys attending and a pashmina over the chairs of all of the women.  I also enjoyed the dancing– Katherine and Paul are wonderful dancers, and they had a fabulous routine for their first dance!  Here are a few of my faves from the day:

I immediately connected with Addie and Jeff’s group over our shared connection to Maine- there were a ton of Colby grads at the wedding!  It’s not often that I travel out of the country and find people that understand the bitter cold of the northeast, so we were able to swap stories of freezing while we relaxed by the pool.  This was such a fabulous group- I loved the placecards- they were luggage tags that were hung with polaroids (the NEW polaroids- have you seen these cool cameras???) that were taken throughout the week at Playa Fiesta.

Unbelievably, we had a rain scare the day of the wedding (it hardly EVER rains on the Pacific Coast of Mexico outside of the rainy season- more on that later, though), but Addie and Jeff took it all in stride in their happy, easygoing way.  I had such a wonderful time working with them and with their families- in fact, one of the guests at their wedding arrived in Puerto Vallarta and liked it so much that he stayed and got an apartment!
