Yuri + HF's intimate wedding at Villa La Isla was a vibrant tropical paradise. Their unforgettable celebration was set in the heart of Manuel Antonio, at the stunning venue Punto de Vista. This intimate affair perfectly embodied the essence of an exotic getaway, offering a picturesque backdrop of lush Costa Rican jungle. They envisioned a day that was not only tropical and vibrant but also fun, enjoyable, and intimate.
The ceremony took place at Punto de Vista, where an aisle adorned with palm leaves led the way to a circular arbor bursting with asymmetrical flowers. Rich, vibrant colors of roses, shampoo ginger, and anthuriums, combined with dense tropical greenery and monstera leaves, brought the scene to life. The perfect blend of warm sunshine and a gentle breeze, along with the shade from the overhead trees, made for an idyllic setting.
