Lindsay + Nate

Lindsay and Nate’s Costa Rican destination wedding was an unforgettable celebration set in the picturesque beach town of Las Catalinas and the serene shores of Playa Danta. Known for its charming, car-free streets and stunning coastal views, Las Catalinas evoked a Positano-like allure, blending elegance with a relaxed tropical vibe.

Their wedding day began with whimsical newspaper for guests, affectionately titled “The Wedding Post,” setting the tone for a day filled with thoughtful details and personal touches.

As Lindsay prepared for the ceremony with her Mother, Bridesmaids, and future Mother-in-law, she radiated elegance in a delicate lace robe, showcasing her stunning sapphire diamond ring and bouquet of white blooms and tropical greenery.

When Lindsay's Mother helped Lindsay dress in her off-the-shoulder lace gown, complete with intricate sleeves and a show-stopping veil, there were definitely some "twinning moments" with their shining smiles!  Lindsay's final look was nothing short of breathtaking.
