Real Wedding-Erin and Matthew, Arenal Nayara

Erin and Matt had an amazing zest for life and adventurous spirit. Marrying at the base of the rumbling Arenal Volcano was the perfect spot for this outgoing couple and I think the bride colors of fuchsia, cymbidium green and orange matched their colorful personalities perfectly. Love their invites that looked like airline tickets! Arenal Nayara is such an amazing hotel! Incredible views and first class accommodations. Nayara's gardens offer an intimate location with a jaw-dropping view of the volcano. Bright flowers really pop against all the greenery.Purple phaeleonopsis orchids are so elegant in Erin's hair! Awesome shoe and ring shot!!Even the volcano came out to celebrate! It was clear viewing all day - what a wedding gift from Mother Nature!Totally coveting Erin's fuchsia shoes! Everything is totally 'pura vida' for these two lovebirds.Ginger, vanda orchids and dendrobium orchids create a riot of color in Erin's bouquet.More orchids to create a colorful table setting.Why yes, that IS a parrot on the bride's arm! Nayara has two talkative macaws that roam the property and love to be the center of attention.The reception was held on the deck at Nayara's wine bar. Mahogany chairs and chargers add depth and ground the colorful linens and flowers.How cool a cake was this? Erin found an artist on Etsy to recreate the two of them as South Park characters. Check out the beer in Matt's hand - the detailing is  awesome!!!!!!! And the volcano behind the cake? Priceless. Candles make everything look so romantic.Congratulations again to Erin and Matt. It was F.U.N.!!! Fantastic setting for a fantastic couple and we are so thrilled to have been a part of it all. Huge 'gracias' to El Velo for the great photos.
