We had the honor of celebrating the love and heritage of Denise and Luis in the fall! This beautiful celebration, published on BRIDES, perfectly encapsulated elements of their traditional culture with an added modern twist. Denise and Luis shared their first impression after touring, saying“It was definitely love at first sight. Because both of our family backgrounds are rooted in ranch settings, we knew the venue would tie into our theme perfectly.”

Embark Event Design brought this couple’s vision to life with balanced elements of old and new. To match the theme and embody the al fresco and modern traditional Mexican elements, the color scheme included dark red, burnt orange and subtle blue hues. On the day of, a mariachi band surprised Denise and her bridesmaids to help kick off the special day.

Ceremony and reception were covered in beautiful florals by April Flowers and furnished by All About Events and Avenue Twelve. Following their Mexican ceremony, the couple and their guests headed to the Barn & Courtyard for their reception. The courtyard was dressed in autumnal blooms and neutral linens set against the backdrop of the rustic barn. The couple was handed specialty drinks hand crafted by Copper and Crystal as guests sat down for a delicious dinner prepared by Field to Table Catering & Events. From there, the guests danced the night away with a live mariachi band. We had such an amazing time celebrating Denise and Luis!
