GRACEFUL WEDDING INSPIRATION IN MEXICO

One of the things that always speaks to us from wedding submissions is an elusive quality of grace and elegance, and we love to see this manifested in so many beautiful ways in weddings and editorials. Today’s inspiration shoot comes to us from Jose Villa, Sarah Winward and Laurie Arons, combining an old-Mexico feel (stunning architecture, stone walls, and wrought iron details) along with an effortless sense of grace. From the neutral toned flowers (which are anything but boring) to the foliage filled ceremony setting, we simply cannot get enough.Photography: Jose Villa Photography | Floral Design: Sarah Winward | Wedding Gown: Lihi Hod | Wedding Gown: Emily Rose Riggs | Cake: Sweet And Saucy Shop | Engagement Ring: Trumpet And Horn | Hair And Makeup: TEAM Hair And Makeup | Calligraphy: Anne Robin | Candles: Creative Candles | Custom Artwork: Karina Puente | Fashion Stylist: Summer Watkins | Floral Design Assistant: Gabriela Salazar | Food Styling: Diana Perrin | Graphic Design And Collateral Pieces: Amber Moon | Hair Extensions: TEAM Bridal Extensions | Location: Hacienda La Labor | Location: Hacienda El Carmen | Overall Design And Planning: Laurie Arons Special Events | Ring Box: The Mrs Box | Tabletop Rentals And Design: Casa De Perrin

What could be better than a whimsical engagement session among the lavender fields of San Ysidro Ranch? As the bride says, “Having seen those gorgeous lavender fields time and time again, I knew I wanted to shoot there. It did not disappoint. San Ysidro Ranch has to be one of the most beautiful places on Earth!” We couldn’t agree more. This lovely pair enjoyed taking their beautiful engagement photos and then continued their celebration by driving up the California coast, visiting Monterey, Sonoma and San Francisco. A perfect day!
