Elegance Amid the Ruins of Santa Clara
Santa Clara, in Antigua Guatemala, served as the perfect backdrop for a wedding that blended history, romance, and a carefully curated aesthetic. Kaitlin and Nicholas celebrated their union surrounded by ancient walls that whisper stories of the past, with every detail of their special day designed to highlight the natural beauty of the setting through a sophisticated and modern lens.
The ceremony took place inside the temple, where we created a dreamlike altar featuring a ground-level floral crescent as the focal point. A soft cream aisle runner led Kaitlin to the altar, its gentle texture offering a delicate contrast to the rustic surfaces of the ruins.
For the reception, the floral concept evolved into a warmer, richer palette. Arrangements on the tables featured blooms in shades of beige, white, sand, and peach, accented with unexpected touches of burgundy to add depth and a refined, elegant atmosphere. This was paired with dark-toned wooden furniture, providing contrast and presence while maintaining harmony with the colonial surroundings.
Every element was chosen to tell a story of balance: between the old and the new, the soft and the bold, the subtle and the unforgettable. Kaitlin and Nicholas entrusted us with their vision, and it was an honor to transform it into a visual experience that truly reflected their essence.
