Kaity and Gray's destination wedding was nothing short of magical, blending relaxed beach vibes with romantic elegance. Before the big day, the couple welcomed their closest family and friends to Casa de la Luz for a fun-filled taco bar party, complete with refreshing margaritas and delicious key lime pie bites. This casual yet festive start set the tone for their wedding weekend, inviting guests to immerse themselves in Costa Rica’s tropical atmosphere.
On the wedding day, Kaity and her bridesmaids began the morning in charming, coordinated outfits — Kaity in a butterfly-patterned PJ set, and her girls in shiny beige matching sets.
This couple loved details and it showed in all of their choices! The couple’s stationery featured light blue and white accents, with a hand-drawn map of Costa Rica and a wax seal, adding a personal, chic touch to their wedding invites. Even their ring box echoed the same thoughtfulness, with a stunning blue and gold design. The grooms khaki suit was custom tailored for the big day and the bride ordered a personalized hankerchief for dad.
Gray looked sharp in his khaki suit, and the couple shared their first look in the lush garden, setting the stage for the love-filled day ahead.
The ceremony at Sueno del Mar was an ode to Costa Rica’s natural beauty. A mix of washed wood benches and chairs created a serene, beachy setting, and a delicate driftwood arch decorated with pale-colored flowers and lush greenery framed the couple as they exchanged vows. In a touching tribute, a white rose was placed on the front chair in honor of Gray’s late mother - a really special reminder to know she was there with them.
The floral design featured orchids, roses, and snapdragons in shades of pale yellow, orange, and pink, bringing an elegant pop of color to the natural greens of the venue. After the ceremony, the couple made their way to Langosta Beach, where they captured stunning photos on the rocky shoreline as the sun set in one of the most picturesque spots in Costa Rica
