Refined Rustic Destination Wedding in Nicaragua

Today’s bride and groom opted for an elegant celebration, designed to reflect the alluring, tropical setting of Nicaragua. The results are impeccable, showcasing modern, chic invitations by Minted and a lush green and white palette with the most dazzling blooms. Merari Photography was behind the lens for these stunning images!

From the Bride: Arturo and I met at our apartment building in downtown Los Angeles. He lived on the 14th floor and I lived on the 9th. The first time we met was at our building’s clubhouse where we instantly sparked up a conversation. We became friends immediately after and would hang out with other neighbors. At the time we were both dating someone else. I later moved out of the building but kept in touch with him as friends. Three years later we reconnected and started dating. After a few years of happily dating, Arturo surprised me with a helicopter ride to Catalina Island, where he proposed.

We decided to exchange vows in Nicaragua, where the majority of my family lives. I always knew I wanted to get married somewhere exotic and tropical and Nicaragua, where I was born, fit the bill. I wanted to incorporate the beautiful natural surroundings. Everything from the invitations to the reception room kept the modernly chic aesthetic that encompassed the tropical feel of the locale.
