Jen + Matt were deeply inspired by their year teaching together in southern Spain, and they brought such a gorgeous celebration to life with lots of color, personality and attention to detail.
Jen says, Our wedding day was inspired by our connection to the Spanish culture. We have a special bond to the country and our love that evolved there. We knew this bond could inspire an amazing celebration that truly represented our vibrant, passionate and colorful love. Matt and I replicated a number of nostalgic memories that we shared in Spain including authentic Spanish tapas, paella, sangria, tres leches, authentic textiles, a walking procession and a Spanish guitarist to name a few. Additionally, my Spanish heritage from Colombia and Matt’s colonial family farm were the perfect pairing for a Farm Fiesta Wedding!
Big thanks to Sarah Park Events for the perfect event design and planning + to Lauren Fair Photography for these gorgeous photos, which are surely brightening everyone’s Thursday!
LOVE is an understatement when it comes to Jen’s bright bouquet designed by Oleander Botanicals Floral & Events.
Right?! That air plant…
We adore that the bridesmaids wore red! Such a fun color that is certainly underused at weddings.
Our Musical Choices
Our Favorite Memory
Busting out of the church doors with Matt after the ceremony, shaking my tambourine and Matt with his maraca, being showered with organic rose petals followed by the jubilant walking procession to the fiesta on the farm. We felt the love and light bursting towards us from all of our sweet souled loved ones.

Our Advice
1. Find the BEST photographer first (like Lauren Fair), the photos are what you will have for FOREVER.
2. Build a genuine team of vendors (you can find great ones from researching styled shoots in your area.)
3. Have a theme to help you guide your decisions and direct the vendors in your vision, while being open to their artistic talent.
4. Don’t be afraid to do something different (like a walking procession!)
5. Enjoy the endless communication with friends, family, parents and vendors during the planning process, these people love you so much!
6. Have a POSITIVE perspective and gracious attitude with all issues that may arise.
7. Keep a wedding binder along the way, it serves as a great scrap book afterwards.
8. Be inspired by all the creative people you will work with!!! It is quite an amazing energy exchange.
