Tropical Wedding Inspiration In Costa Rica That Is Far From Boho

Share

Happy couple embraces under a veil, smiling on their wedding day

With its stunning beaches, rainforests, mountains, and volcanoes, Costa Rica is a well-known wedding destination, especially for outdoorsy couples who are looking for a boho wedding design. But, this colorful celebration will have you rethinking that neutral color palette. Vibrant oranges and blues sing with the natural tropical surroundings and are paired beautifully with barely-there nude gowns that make this inspiration shoot feel like you’re peeking into a modern Garden of Eden. Rich wood tables and straw chargers bring the beachy vibes but are balanced out by vibrant watercolor paintings and fine gilded china to keep the design from tipping too far towards boho.

Red Velvet Weddings rounded up a team of Costa Rica’s most reputable vendors to brighten up your screen today. Art|flower designed all of these incredible floral arrangments including the multicolor ombré floral archway! These colorful portraits by Sylvia Guardia Photography could be paintings, they’re so beautifully composed and would look incredible hanging on your wall long after the wedding! This joyful day at The Wilder Collection is certainly a feast for the eyes and Destination Wedding Stories was there to get it all on video. To see more of these magical photos, check out the full gallery. Read on to hear more from Ise Chaves of Red Velvet Weddings about this inspiration and how it all came together.

A MAGICAL PLACE

Colorful floral wedding archway with candles and stone steps

Last year was one of the hardest for many of us, but together with the most hard-working group of vendors in beautiful Costa Rica, we decided to create a little magic! Inspired by the beauty of our location and the architecture of our selected venue we created different looks representing the magic of a wedding day, from getting ready to the end of the party. We worked with two amazing designers to dress our bride for the ceremony and reception looks.
