Sarina + Christopher

OCT 6-8, 2022

Getting a glimpse of a couple’s family traditions, as well as their cultural traditions, is a blessing in and of itself. For Sarina and Chris’s wedding, planning a 3 day wedding weekend was such an amazing journey. With any multicultural wedding, our team is always learning new things. The colors, styles, activities... it all varies just like any other wedding. The planning process is simply different in the fact that you have to consider all of the wedding elements for each individual event within that wedding weekend. This means having multiple floral deliveries, rental orders, entertainment playlists, beauty and attire, etc. Getting to be a part of Sarina and Chris’s wedding allowed us to catch a glimpse into their lives and be a part of their family and New Mexico wedding experience.

“ THIS DAY SHOULD REPRESENT WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON AND WHO YOU ARE AS A COUPLE. ”

Advice:

Before you get too deep into wedding planning, consider your priorities and what you want the day to be. If you are a minimalistic person, don’t pressure yourself to go over the top for your wedding. This day should represent who you are as a person and who you are as a couple. Your guests will enjoy your wedding day no matter what because that day represents you and your love for one another. Be true to you!

Jasmine + Daniel

10.22.2022

I was unable to meet Jasmine and Daniel in person until the day of their wedding. The moment I walked into the main house at Blame Her Ranch, you could feel the excitement in the air. The hustle and bustle of the day was in full swing, Jasmine was finishing hair and makeup while Daniel was out of sight taking a moment alone for himself. Anytime Jasmine caught a glimpse of him through the window, you could see pure joy and excitement on her face. The nerves of the day quickly melted away the moment Daniel saw Jasmine walk down the aisle. Both of them had a very obvious change in their body language; from nerves to completely enveloped in the moment. They were finally where they were meant to be; together. That day was cold and windy but it was gorgeous and exactly how it was supposed to be.

She then led him around the corner to meet his daughter not expecting the emotional moment that awaited him.

LESS STRESS WEDDING | LOCAL LOVE STORIES

Tirzah + Kevin

6.17.2023

Tirzah and Kevin wanted a fairy tale wedding, drawing inspiration from the Disney’s movie Tangled. They wanted a classic church wedding since they are both the children of Missionary Couples and met while both of their parents were working in Peru. To start the theme off we chose a venue with high ceilings, beautiful stained glass windows, and dark wood to compliment the bright and soft tones of pink, purple, and gold. Since light is a big part of the movie it became a focal point in the décor of the wedding. We rented a beautiful lighted arch and lined the aisle with lights covered in a shimmer of tulle. The centerpieces of the tables were lighted lanterns featuring Rapunzel’s Sun from the movie. Their fairytale photographer with his unbelievable creative photo edits made Tirzah’s and Kevin’s desire to visit Rapunzel’s tower a reality. While the couple were taking pictures a mocktail bar featuring themed ice cream floats greeted the guests. After the couple’s Peruvian first dance and seamless reception, the bride and groom left through a send-off of bubbles to their happily ever after. - Jenna, Less Stress Wedding

Christianne + Alfonzo

6.23.2023

I loved working with Christianne and Alfonzo! From the very beginning Christianne was so excited about their wedding and had so many ideas. We both discovered we had a love for One Tree Hill and on the wedding day I showed up to a Raven’s jersey just for me (if you know you know). On their wedding day their love SHINED! Seeing the way Alfonzo looked at his bride all day made me that much more happy they chose me. This was a wedding I will never forget. - Briana, Briana Nicole

Photo + Film

My favorite memory of the day was getting to do La Marcha. Growing up in New Mexico, I’ve been to so many weddings where I’ve participated in the dance but it was so special to be at the front of the line and end up in the circle surrounded by all of our loved ones. I remember looking around and knowing that would be a core memory.

“ I REMEMBER LOOKING AROUND AND KNOWING THAT WOULD BE A CORE MEMORY. ”

Advice:

My advice to future brides is to not sweat the small stuff. There were a few things that went off book for our wedding day, but by choosing to focus on all the things going right, on our loved ones, and each other, I really felt like I enjoyed the day instead of stressing about it. My other advice is to bring a comfy change of shoes so you can stay dancing after all the obligations are through and to practice your dip!

- Christianne, Bride

Did you know that the Biscochito was used for special occasions, such as weddings? Share this authentic New Mexican tradition with your wedding guests. We can provide a special twist on an old fashioned treat that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.
