We are delighted to share with you the enchanting garden by the sea elopement of Janet + John, who shared the most intimate and romantic wedding in Peninsula Papagayo. This lovely couple wanted a simple and elegant wedding that reflected their timeless love and style, and Andaz Papagayo was the perfect venue to bring their vision to fruition.
They opted for a vibrant and lively color scheme, with deep red tones, purple, violets, and pinks. We incorporated flowers such as cascading orchids and roses, which added a touch of sophistication and beauty to their ceremony.
The bride got ready with her mother and sister, wearing a stunning white gown with sheer long sleeves and 3D accents. The groom looked handsome in a tan suit and bright pink boutonniere.
