SAY “I DO” WITH HARRY ROSEN

First he popped the question. Now he has a few for himself. Luckily, our expert Clothing Advisors can help your groom find the answers, so he can express his own style and stay true to the way you both envisioned your wedding. We have a wide range of tuxedos and suits in traditional styles to more daring fashion-forward options. Remember, you’ll likely be photographed more on your wedding day than on any other in your life, so you want him to look and feel as confident as you do when he walks down the aisle. At Harry Rosen, we believe your big day calls for the suit of a lifetime.

TH E

I just returned from magical Maui, Hawaii where I attended the most perfect wedding of my dear friend Harmony Walton, founder of The Bridal Bar and @JetFete.

Her gorgeous (and I mean GORGEOUS!) champagne-hued wedding gown was covered from head to toe in delicate, metallic, star-shaped sequins that shimmered like a mirror ball against the Hawaiian sunlight whenever she moved. Her gown was a custom design, lovingly created by one of the most influential (not to mention, kindest) bridal gown designers in the world right now, Hayley Paige, who was also a guest at the wedding.

The wedding was beautiful, fun, and memorable for a million other reasons, too.

Admittedly, I found myself overcome with emotion when Harmony came down the aisle with her dad to greet Bayo, her now-husband. My happy tears were a wonderful reminder that even after spending fifteen years in the wedding industry and covering thousands of weddings, there is nothing quite like experiencing those moments of love, laughter, family, and friendship in person.

Speaking of experiences, we invited WedLuxe Glitterati Members (aka the best of the best in the Canadian wedding industry!) to explore the idea of “the new neutral” as we ALL know that wedding white isn’t the only star in town. The colourful results are beautiful, unique, and as always, inspiring.

Be sure to join my team and I @WedLuxe for global daily eye candy and especially @WedLuxeToronto where we post daily inspiration just for you. I’d also love to invite you to visit WedLuxe.com, which has recently undergone a BIG makeover!

With 500,000+ images and daily blog features, it’s a great place to find endless inspiration.

ianca Stefanescu and Nicolas Pena met in high school and both say they had an instant connection. After losing contact for eight years, it wasn’t until 2014 when Nicolas noticed a mutual friend notification on Facebook and added Bianca, that the two started talking again. “I reached out to Nico to spark a conversation, and two days later we went on our first date,” shares Bianca.

Within a few months, the pair had moved in together.

Nicolas proposed to Bianca two and a half years later. The couple was spending the day in St. Catharines, Ontario, alongside Nicolas’ brother and his girlfriend. They went on a hike and when they reached a waterfall, Nicolas asked Bianca if she wanted to take a photo in front of it. As they were posing for the photo, Nicolas began talking about the love he felt for Bianca and before she knew it, he was down on one knee proposing! “I remember shaking, being so happy and excited,” recalls Bianca. Upon arriving home later that day, Bianca discovered that Nicolas had planned a surprise engagement party with help from her mom and sister.

As an event planner, Bianca is no stranger to planning weddings. Thus, it’s no surprise that when it came time for her big celebration, she decided to have not one but two weddings! The first wedding took place on September 22, 2018 in Santorini, Greece while the second celebration took place on February 17, 2019 in Toronto, Ontario, the couple’s home. Both events were designed and planned by Bianca and her sister, Patrizia Di Franco, who are the co-owners of BLUSHING AURA EVENT COORDINATION & DESIGN.

Bianca’s bouquet of blush garden roses and greenery was tied with a nude ribbon from SILK & WILLOW. Bouquet from RED BOX DAYS, who provided all floral for their destination wedding.

Bianca and Nicolas decided on a first look prior to the ceremony, and according to Bianca, “The first look was one of my favourite moments of our wedding day. Nico told me the morning of our wedding that he had a dream the night before of my wedding dress, and what he described to me was exactly my dress. As soon as he saw me, he started crying.”

CEREMONY UNDER THE SUN Bianca and Nicolas’ destination wedding was held at ROCABELLA SANTORINI overlooking the Aegean Sea. According to Bianca, “The most important aspect to us was making sure the venue we decided on had the picture-perfect view.” Ceremony decor consisted of an aisle lined with blush, peach, and ivory florals mixed with greenery, leading to a metallic rose gold arch accented with more blooms. Bianca and Nicolas personalized their vows, which made for a very romantic and emotional ceremony. “Since it was a very intimate wedding with only our closest friends and family, guests were able to feel the emotion,” shares the bride.

It was also embellished with a blush table runner and sandstone-coloured taper candles. Two wedding cakes and a multitude of smaller desserts in blush and peach hues were prepared by ALEXANDRA’S CAKES.

Staying true to the all-white Santorini aesthetic that Bianca and Nicolas were going for, white tables and chairs were used for the reception. Blush, grey, and rose gold were incorporated into tablescapes, which featured low floral runners, tableware, and day-of stationery by SO PRETTY IN PRINT. Place settings were detailed with ivory and taupe menus, rose gold flatware, and grey stone charger plates from WHITE LILAC. Blush napkins from BLUSHING AURA EVENT COORDINATION & DESIGN.

END NOTES After their first wedding in Santorini, Bianca and Nicolas celebrated with a honeymoon in South Africa. Starting off in Cape Town, the newlyweds explored the city, saw penguins at Boulders Beach, and hiked up Table Mountain. Next, they drove to Franschhoek Wine Valley, where they enjoyed wine tastings and romantic dinners.

Finally, they ended their trip with three days in Kruger National Park, going on game drives and sleeping in one of Lion Sands Game Reserve’s luxury tree houses. Upon returning home to Ontario, the couple settled back into daily life in Kleinburg, where Bianca is the co-owner of BLUSHING AURA EVENT COORDINATION & DESIGN and Nicolas is a home builder.

ix years after meeting at a work event, Shobana Thaya and Kevin Williams got engaged while on vacation in Sri Lanka. Kevin proposed in front of a 500-year-old Hindu temple located off of Sri Lanka’s northeastern coast.

Shobana and Kevin were first wed in a Tamil Hindu ceremony on November 17, 2018 in Scarborough, Ontario. A week later, on November 24, 2018, the couple tied the knot in Toronto in a Western ceremony at RICARDA’S, followed by a decidedly global-inspired reception.

Roxy Zapala of ART OF CELEBRATIONS provided full planning and design assistance, as well as floral design. “Shobana and Kevin’s love for travel as well as their ethnic backgrounds were the reasons why we wanted to bring in different elements from different parts of the world into their wedding,” shares Roxy.

The dramatic aisle design featured black vases, each overflowing with orchids, lining the path to an arch of brightly-hued florals surrounded by ornate gold lanterns. Shobana says she will always remember “walking down the aisle, feeling so much love from all of our guests, and locking eyes with my soon-to-be.”

nnie Zeng and Nan Lin met at a corporate event three years ago. Annie was sitting at a table with an empty seat beside her. Nan arrived late, sat down in the unoccupied chair, and started talking to Annie. “We connected and things grew from there,” shares the bride.

Nan’s elaborate proposal scheme was one for the books! A few days before Nan planned to propose, he told Annie that a friend was filming a movie and had asked if they could act in it. He mentioned that the friend was specifically shooting a proposal scene and claimed it would be less awkward if they did it together since they already knew each other. Annie agreed and studied her lines, but when it came time to shoot the big scene, Nan started going off script.

Instead of saying her character’s name, he said, “Annie, would you marry me?”

“I remember crying and not realizing this was all a setup. It was truly a surprise and a well-planned proposal,” recalls Annie.

hough Sierra-Maria Massara and Andrew Perugini originally met when they were just eight years old (Andrew’s brother played hockey with Sierra-Maria’s cousin), it wasn’t until 2011 while the pair were attending York University that their friendship began.

Andrew proposed on October 2, 2015, during a date he had carefully planned to celebrate the couple’s three-year anniversary. The date (or proposal, as Sierra-Maria would later learn) began with roses being sent to her throughout the day. Each rose had a little tag attached to it with instructions such as, “A driver will pick you up at 5:30” and “Meet me at the Thompson Hotel.” Per one of the notes, when Sierra-Maria finally arrived at the hotel suite, she entered with her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes, she saw a note that said “Turn around!” There was Andrew, down on one knee, in a suite filled with treats, balloons, candles, and photographs of the couple. There was also a camera set up in the corner that had captured the entire proposal! Later, the pair celebrated over dinner before heading to a surprise engagement party with their closest friends and family in attendance.

The wedding took place on July 21, 2018 in Woodbridge, Ontario. Michelle Cundari of SINCERELY YOURS EVENTS provided full event planning and design services.

Sierra-Maria and Andrew’s six-tier wedding cake from FINE CAKES BY ZEHRA was the perfect reflection of their big day. The bottom tier was a nod to the ruffled skirt on the bride’s dress, while the ornate sofa on the fourth tier closely resembled the sofa covered in florals that the couple used during their portrait session. Each guest took home chocolate bonbons from SUCCULENT CHOCOLATES AND SWEETS. After their whimsical garden wedding, Sierra-Maria and Andrew embarked on the honeymoon-of-a-lifetime, where they visited the Maldives, Dubai, Lake Como, and Milan. “Each place was unique and unbelievable in its own way. We had an over-water bungalow in the Maldives, went on a desert safari while riding camels in Dubai, explored villas in Lake Como, and ended in the shopping capital of the world,” shares Sierra-Maria. Upon returning home to Woodbridge, the newlyweds settled back into daily life, where Sierra-Maria is a teacher and Andrew is a marketing director.

ABOUT THE COUPLE ALTHEA WEDDINGS designed

or Mengyin Ye and Zhenyu Lei, it was destiny, and it all came down to the day they met. “We met each other on May 20, 2017. May 20 is 5/20, which in Chinese is pronounced like ‘I love you,’” shares the bride.

Bucking tradition, there was no proposal. “He was the only person I wanted to marry in the world, so we decided to go back to China to get a marriage license there,” says Mengyin. The day they were granted their license, Zhenyu promised Mengyin they would have an official celebration in Toronto and the next summer they did!

The wedding took place on September 10, 2018 in Toronto, Ontario. Emma Ye of LOVEVER WEDDINGS & EVENTS provided full-service planning and design assistance. The classic invitation suite was designed by BROOKLIN PAPER CO.

According to planner Emma Ye, the couple chose many circular elements as a nod to the meaning of circles in China. “In Chinese, circular means perfect, forever flawless. That is why we designed the stage to be a round shape; we also had a round floral feature on the ceiling and a circular floor plan for the ceremony.”

SECRET GARDEN Mengyin and Zhenyu were wed at THE OMNI KING EDWARD HOTEL, which had been transformed into a blue-hued “wild secret garden” by ALETHEA EVENTS and CARE BANQUET DESIGN. The garden-inspired setup featured two gates as a backdrop, creating an imaginative, secret castle vibe. Unlike your typical ceremony space, CARE BANQUET DESIGN constructed a round stage and arranged chairs on all sides. “It made me feel even more special being surrounding by all of my family and friends,” shares Mengyin.

Mengyin and Zhenyu exchanged vows on this stage, under a canopy of blue draping and suspended wisteria.

A R OYA L A F FA I R Mengyin knew she wanted both the ceremony and reception to be at the same venue, so in just one hour, CARE BANQUET DESIGN, ALETHEA WEDDINGS, and LOVEVER WEDDINGS & EVENTS flipped the ballroom into a regal reception space. A mixture of tall and short centrepieces ran down tablescapes, while a mirrored sweetheart table and hedges of wild delphinium were added to the stage. Tableware was also royal-inspired and included goldrimmed charger plates and blue water goblets.

ABOUT THE COUPLE

The couple was wed in a traditional ceremony at GRACE CHURCH ON-THE-HILL. According to April, “The most memorable moment for us was seeing each other for the first time in the church. It’s such a beautiful moment we will both never forget.”

The bridesmaids wore black gowns from PEARL BRIDAL HOUSE. The groomsmen

wore formalwear from SURMESUR. A trio from WELLINGTON MUSIC performed live at the ceremony. Transportation for the day was provided by TORONTO LIMO RENTALS.

A

pril and Peter Papousek first met at a Christmas party in 2013, or so they thought. Following the party, something came over Peter that made him feel like he had to reach out to April. He thought he remembered meeting her before that night but couldn’t quite put his finger on it. Lucky for him, when he got in touch with April and asked her out, she accepted. It was on their first official date that they discovered they had actually worked at the same restaurant ten years prior. “I wondered why it took so many years and meeting more than once for us to be together, but I don’t think we were ready for what we have now back then. Since that day, we have been inseparable and have travelled the world together,” shares April.

Two years later, the couple found themselves celebrating the purchase of their first home together. Before heading downtown for dinner, Peter insisted they stop by the new house for the very first time and open a bottle of champagne.

Peter handed the key to April and when she opened the door, she noticed a trail of rose petals. “At the time, I didn’t know Peter had already received the key to the home and prepared this surprise, so of course I was confused to see the rose petals,” remembers April. She followed the flowers into the living room and it was there that Peter got down on one knee and asked her to be his forever.

April and Peter’s nuptials were held on July 14, 2018 in Toronto, Ontario.

CLINGEN WEDDING & EVENT DESIGN team filled the Glass Pavilion with white florals, hints of greenery, gold accents, and crystal candelabras. Tables were detailed with a variety of centrepieces, from candelabras with low floral bouquets at the base to classic arrangements of sculpted florals on tall, glass stands. The most romantic arrangements of all were the suspended centrepieces of loose blush, cream, and white blooms floating above gallery tables. “The Pavilion at CASA LOMA was out of this world! We were blown away,” recalls April.

andy Xi and William Wang met at a drive test centre in Lindsay, Ontario. Mandy was taking her road test and William was there with his mother, who was also taking her test. As they sat in the waiting room, Mandy and William got to talking and ended up deciding to drive back to Toronto together. While driving, they learned they were both born in southern China and shared many common interests. William was leaving for a trip to China the next day and so he sprung into action and asked Mandy if she wanted to go on a date that very night. “I quickly agreed because I thought he was kind, gentle, and humorous,” shares Mandy. “I was attracted to him from the very beginning after spending time together.” This date was just the start of their love story, and within one month, the pair were engaged! Upon William’s return to Canada, which coincided with Mandy’s birthday, he invited Mandy for a special celebration at the PARK HYATT TORONTO—little did she know, William would be asking her the most important question of her life.

As Mandy opened the door to the suite William had reserved, she saw rose petals on the floor and a giant stuffed giraffe, her favourite animal. William walked straight over to the giraffe, took the engagement ring off of its ear, and proposed. “I realized that this was the kind of moment that all girls dream of.

I was shocked, however, I said yes with no hesitation at all,” says Mandy.

Mandy and William said “I do” on October 3, 2018 in Toronto, Ontario.

The gold table was a sight to behold amongst the stark white furniture and was covered in trailing flowers to match the custom arch that had been repurposed from the ceremony. This arch was the bride’s favourite design detail of the day. “This arch was custom-made for our wedding; it was tall, elegant, had a clean design, and was lighter with soft-coloured flowers. The top of the arches also matched the windows at CASA LOMA making it seem like a natural extension of the room. It showcased the creativity, personality, and modern design we wanted our guests to experience,” says Mandy.

ABOUT THE COUPLE Natalie flew to Milan to find her dream dress, a custom creation from Italian designer ALESSANDRO ANGELOZZI. “My gown was the heart

and inspiration of the wedding,” shares the bride, who also wore shoes and a veil by ALESSANDRO ANGELOZZI, a floral hairpiece from ARTAM DESIGN INC., and earrings

D

espite having lived in the same city for years, Natalie Kehren and Roberto Pietrobon’s paths didn’t cross until they were thousands of miles away from home. It was the summer of 2013, and Natalie was on a girls’ trip in Barcelona when all of a sudden she heard her friend shout, “Michael! Roberto! Is that you? I can’t believe it!” Natalie’s friend introduced her to the two men who she knew from university, and they decided to tour the city together as a group. Later in the day, Roberto asked Natalie to take a photo with him in front of a historic palace. “I stood beside him in a beautiful, landscaped garden with the palace behind us and just before the picture was taken, he whispered, ‘I’m going to buy you a palace like this someday,’” remembers Natalie. “I’ve never been one to fall for all of that, but he somehow got inside my heart. And as he says, I was already in his.”

Roberto proposed on January 19, 2018 while he and Natalie were walking along the lake. It was cold out and Natalie had forgotten her gloves, so she went to put her hands in Roberto’s coat pockets, as she often does when she’s chilly, and that’s when she felt it—an engagement ring! “When we got to the shore, he hugged me close and started to get nervous. He spoke so sweetly to me and then got down on one knee. It was simple and beautiful,” recalls Natalie.

Natalie and Roberto tied the knot on September 1, 2018 in Ayr, Ontario.

Diana Pires of DIANA PIRES EVENTS provided full-service planning and design assistance. “I am so grateful I met Diana and her team,” says the bride. “From the minute I met her, I knew I was in good hands. Like me, she believes it can all be done no matter how big you dream, and she made it all come true.”

The amphitheatre had been given a complete makeover for the evening.

Emanating a feeling of pure magic, the space was covered in thousands of lit candles while a soundtrack of fairies giggling could be heard in the distance. According to Natalie, “We provided a place to be seen by something greater than us, to make a wish, to have a kiss with someone you love, or to just be grateful for life in that moment. It was about experiencing the beauty life has to offer if we just believe.”

END NOTES

“As I stood in the middle of the amphitheatre, I couldn’t believe the amazing day. I never wanted to leave.

I cried at the beauty as gratitude filled up my entire being. Roberto found me and grabbed my hand.”

Catering was provided by NITHRIDGE ESTATE, with help from Natalie’s uncle who is a chef in Toronto.

The beef sliders served during cocktail hour and the tomato basil sauce served with the pasta course at the reception were both provided by the bride’s uncle. In addition, the garganelli pasta was imported from Italy specifically for Natalie and Roberto’s wedding.

The gourmet theme continued as guests could indulge in a gelato bar from LOVE GELATO and espresso bar from LATTE BOOTH. For their honeymoon, Natalie and Roberto flew to Las Vegas before spending two and a half weeks island-hopping in Hawaii. They visited Oahu, Maui, and Kauai, and each one was pure paradise. The newlyweds currently live in Toronto, where Natalie is an entrepreneur and co-founder of THE WELLNESS MARKET and Roberto is a contractor.

Each guest received a drawstring bag of seeds from OSC SEEDS to plant in

their garden as a wedding favor, as well as candles from ABBOTT COLLECTION.

ABOUT THE COUPLE Jenna’s bridesmaids wore dresses from MARLA’S.

J

enna Lavallee met Kevin Da Silva in the fall of 2014. Jenna was taking clinical research courses at Humber College and decided to grab some food after class with one of her friends from school. The friend invited his cousin, who happened to be Kevin, and they spent the evening eating wings at a local pub.

Kevin’s Christmastime proposal was like something out of a movie. It was December 2017 and the two were at the top of Rockefeller Center in New York City. It was a cold winter evening and they were out on the open-air deck, when Kevin, who had been carrying the ring in his pocket all day, got down on one knee and proposed. “It was wonderful,” recalls Jenna. “I didn’t care how cold I was after the moment he proposed. I was still in shock, asking if it was for real and if I could keep the ring. (Yes, I was that dazed in the moment!)”

Jenna and Kevin’s wedding took place on March 2, 2019 at ELORA MILL HOTEL & SPA, with Barbara Grace of BARBARA GRACE WEDDINGS providing month-of coordination and JODI LEIGH DESIGNS providing floral and event design.

Jenna’s bouquet from JODI LEIGH DESIGNS was inspired

ABOUT THE COUPLE On their wedding day, Keilih surprised Evan with a gift box filled with his favourite items.

K

eilih and Evan Skrepnek met two years ago at a bar in Las Vegas. It happened to be Keilih’s first visit to Sin City, and Evan was there on a work trip. “The crazy part is that we both lived in the same area, but it took Vegas to bring us together,” shares Keilih.

Keilih and Evan got engaged after one year together. The extravagant proposal went down in beautiful Napa Valley. Evan planned a romantic trip to California wine country, and when they arrived, a private helicopter was there to whisk them off to the vineyards. Once they landed, they enjoyed a picnic on a mountain with Keilih’s favourite champagne, cheese, and chocolatecovered strawberries. “As we were sitting on the picnic blanket, Evan told me to stand up and as soon as he said that, the waterworks started (on my end), and he asked me to marry him,” recalls Keilih. They returned by helicopter and when they landed, Keilih’s mother was there to greet them. The newlyengaged couple then had a celebratory dinner with Keilih’s mom and her future in-laws.

Keilih and Evan were married on October 19, 2018 in Vaughan, Ontario.

Ellie Martires of LAURA & CO. EVENTS provided full planning and design services.

Keilih’s bridesmaids wore dove grey dresses by THE DESSY GROUP, purchased from ELISABETH & BEAU.

Keilih’s soft bouquet contained groupings of champagne, ivory, and nude garden roses accented with wispy astilbe and silver dollar eucalyptus. The final touch was a rosary with a photo of Keilih’s late father that was wrapped around the stem.

The bouquet was designed by RACHEL A. CLINGEN WEDDING & EVENT DESIGN, who provided all

floral and decor for the day.

Keilih and Evan were married at THE ARLINGTON ESTATE under the prettiest draped canopy covered in garden roses and fresh foliage. The RACHEL A. CLINGEN WEDDING & EVENT DESIGN team designed the space to look slightly overgrown while still maintaining an elegant feel. More trailing florals and greenery lined the aisle, adding a natural pop of colour to the otherwise white ceremony decor.

The father of Keilih’s maid of honour officiated the ceremony and according to the bride, her favourite moment was seeing Evan at the end of the aisle. “Before the ceremony, I was extremely emotional. As I started walking down the aisle with my mother, my eyes started watering a little, and once I saw my nowhusband, all I could do was smile,” recalls Keilih.

The reception was held indoors at THE ARLINGTON ESTATE where RACHEL A. CLINGEN WEDDING & EVENT DESIGN brought a rustic garden

concept to life, as well as provided three statement chandeliers.

There were two undeniably impressive floral focal points: the first was the 80-ft long arch of greenery that spanned the length of the head table, and the second was the ceiling installation comprising thousands of fresh wisteria blooms. Situated in front of the head table was Keilih and Evan’s monogrammed dance floor, designed by PAPER & POSTE and produced by EVENT GRAFFITI. BB BLANC INC. provided AV,

rigging, and lighting, which included sparklers during Keilih and Evan’s first dance.

END NOTES In keeping with the neutral colour palette of the day, Keilih and Evan opted for a classic wedding cake. The white, six-tier cake from FINE CAKES BY ZEHRA had gold accents and sugar flowers and was accompanied by donuts, cookies, éclairs, chocolate-covered strawberries, and more. The desserts sat atop mirrored tables from CONTEMPORARY FURNITURE RENTALS INC.

Keilih and Evan celebrated their marriage with a European honeymoon that took them all over the continent, starting in Greece and ending in Spain. According to Keilih, “We started in beautiful Santorini with magical sunsets and relaxing days enjoying the view, then made our way to Paris where we enjoyed lots of cheese, baguettes, and wine!

(Also some shopping of course!) We then went to Monaco where we ate, drank, gambled, and took a joyride to Nice. Afterwards, we headed to Rome (enjoyed A LOT of pasta) and ended the trip on the beach in Barcelona.” Upon returning from Europe, Keilih and Evan settled back into daily life in Kleinburg.

Once Upon A Time ...

two people fell in love

“I felt like someone was going to pinch me, and it was all a dream.

I didn’t think someone could love me so much. Whenever he holds me I feel the weight of his love all over again. Philip has made me the happiest I’ve ever been and I couldn’t wait to become his wife”.

Grand Velas Los Cabos 252

WEDLUXE

|

Toronto Edition

O

ne of 2019’s hottest travel spots, Los Cabos has earned its reputation as a safe, upscale, modern Mexican oasis for luxury seekers. Since 2015, an impressive collection of five-star hotels have sprung up in the ritzy corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, overlooking the endless deep blue Sea of Cortez.

In February, our Editor-in-Chief visited the nearly-new, five-star, award-winning, all-inclusive Grand Velas Los Cabos, and declared it “one of the best all-inclusive resorts in the world.” Here’s why.

ROMANTIC EXPERIENCES

A visit to Grand Velas Los Cabos is all about discovering romance. This tropical paradise is made for brides and grooms-to-be looking for that perfect destination wedding venue, or newlyweds after the most luxurious of honeymoon locales. More than golden sand beaches and sweeping views of the Sea of Cortez, Grand Velas Los Cabos specializes in romantic experiences - private movie screenings under the stars, stargazing for two, a four-course dinner with wine pairings prepared in-suite, and beachside picnics, to name a few. They even offer a “Night of Romance” package (which doubles as a fairytale proposal setup in case you’re so inclined), consisting of a four-hour yacht excursion complete with cocktail hour canapés, a bottle of champagne, a four-course dinner, beautiful floral arrangements, a private fireworks show, a yacht suite decorated with flower petals, and a live musician. Can you imagine anything more romantic?

W E D D I N G I N PA R A D I S E

Grand Velas Los Cabos makes it easy to say “I do” in paradise. Lavish guest suites, gourmet cuisine, a top-notch salon and spa, a personal wedding coordinator, and not one but four unforgettable venues await. From classic opulence in the Convention Center to panoramic views at Terraza del Mar, the resort’s oceanfront terrace, your destination wedding can be whatever you want it to be at Grand Velas Los Cabos. They can accommodate weddings with up to 500 guests at a cost of $120 USD per person, and even have an in-house wedding planner that will take care of flowers, decor, entertainment, photography, and catering. (That said, couples are welcome to work with other service providers if they wish, and Grand Velas Los Cabos personally recommends Elena Damy, Del Cabo Events, and Marianna Idirin.) As an added incentive, the resort is pleased to offer each couple a complimentary upgrade to their Grand Class Suite (it has ocean views AND a private plunge pool!), the use of the bridal suite, and one complimentary suite for every eight suites booked (to a maximum of two). www.wed luxe.com

WedLuxe E X P E R I E N C E S

HONEYMOON FOR TWO

When it comes to honeymooning at Grand Velas Los Cabos, you’re in for a treat. From the ocean view suites and lavish spa to the seven gourmet restaurants and premium bars, there is nowhere better for a little post-wedding relaxation. More than luxurious amenities, the resort recommends (and can even arrange) a variety of romantic activities, including snorkelling, horseback riding, whale watching, camel ride tours, luxury sailing, and a “Brunch at Sea” experience. Or if you prefer a quiet night in, the concierge can decorate your private jacuzzi with rose petals.

MAR DEL CABO

The sister property (and next-door neighbour) to the Grand Velas Los Cabos is Mar del Cabo, a stylish, boutique hotel with beachy vibes and fresh ocean breezes. The ideal spot for a more intimate wedding, their facilities can accommodate up to 100 guests at a cost of $200 USD per person (includes the ceremony, cocktail hour bar, reception, four-course plated dinner for all guests, and a total of five hours of open bar service). Speaking of accommodation, Mar del Cabo’s Penthouse is as luxurious as it gets, with a living room, dining area, and two bedrooms, all decked out with modern amenities. It truly is the perfect spot for a couple on their honeymoon or a bride and her bridesmaids getting ready for the big day.

EXCLUSIVE OFFERS

Calling all brides-to-be! If you’re in the midst of planning a destination wedding or honeymoon, be sure to take advantage of the following Grand Velas Los Cabos and Mar del Cabo offers, exclusive to WedLuxe readers: GRAND VELAS LOS CABOS

• Complimentary bridal suite for the bride • Complimentary upgrade to the next suite category available for brides and grooms (subject to availability) • Complimentary upgrade to the Grand Class Suite and sparkling wine for honeymooners MAR DEL CABO

• Complimentary upgrade to the next suite category available (subject to availability)
