Nicole + Jason

Nicole + Jason have this laidback, easygoing, go-with-the-flow kind of vibe that radiates off of them. When they reached out to us with dreams of a relaxed tropical wedding, we knew we wanted to create an unforgettable destination experience to bring their dreams to fruition. This couple’s biggest goal was to say “I do” with a breathtaking view, and we knew the perfect venue to plan their big day right away!

This adorable couple met online and quickly fell head over heels for each other. They live an adventurous and active lifestyle back home in Atlanta, but their favorite moments are simple - making a home-cooked meal together paired with the perfect wine, and cuddling with their beloved fur baby.

Breathtaking backdrop? Check! Pangas Beach Club is one of our favorite venues to design for in the entire country! This magical space transports you into a complete paradise with the beaches of Tamarindo surrounded by beautiful Matapalo palm trees. This stunning couples’ ceremony was held just steps away from the ocean shore surrounded by lush forests and mountain views in the distance. They wed with the sound of the waves crashing in the background and birds singing in the distance which made this memorable afternoon feel even more surreal.

The square ceremony arch was decorated with abundant greenery, draping white orchids, and tropical flowers cascading down each side. The bridal bouquet was filled with tropical greens, fuchsia foliage, and bold pops of wine-toned flowers with touches of light pink and white.

Nicole came to us envisioning a tropical and romantic wedding design with thoughtfully placed bright colors, so we focused on three design priorities: creating impactful focal points, incorporating color with local florals, and capturing the beauty of Costa Rica and the Pura Vida spirit with quality design to reflect this fun, modern couple.

The ambiance for the rest of this beautiful evening was celebratory and relaxed; everyone danced the night away underneath the stars jamming to the live band, indulging in a full dessert bar, and cheersing to the newlyweds!
