Real Wedding - Jacqui & Peter, Discovery House, Manuel Antonio

Where do I even begin with this crazy, unique, FUN wedding? Jacqui is a dancer in a blacklight theatre company that performs the world over. Peter is a production genius and sound guru who criss-crosses the US of A working on huge productions. Not surprisingly, their wedding celebration was completely extraordinary and one of a kind. The folks over at Rock 'n Roll Bride agreed and featured this incomparable wedding on their blog.I remember when Jacqui posted the fabric for the wedding clothes from Mood (yes, the fabric fantasyland we've swooned over on Project Runway). I literally squealed. The final products were stunning! Discovery House, right on the beach of Manuel Antonio, is chockfull of artistic touches, making it the perfect setting. Even with tin foil hair curlers, Jacqui is gorgeous. Seriously. How incredible are those golden paint tattoos? Jacqui created those for her and the entire wedding crew. The wedding invitations resembled passports and old Costa Rican colon coins were refashioned into a necklace so each guest would have a wearable momento. Manuel Antonio's palm-fringed beach. Peter and his groomsmen cutting a suave figure in linen and khaki. Simplicity and natural was the look for the ceremony, with bamboo chairs, green coconuts and palm leaves lining the aisle and a driftwood arch with fabric and a touch of greenery with flowers. Mmmmmimosa bar! A great way to welcome guests, keep them cool and get the party started in an elegant way. At the end of the ceremony, Jacqui and Peter planted neon glos sticks into the sand and then invited their guests to do the same, creating an installation piece with over 1000 glow sticks. The darker the lighting became, the more incredible the glow stick 'field' looked! Love her bouquet of roses, hydrangeas and eucalyptus!     They even had an incredible sunset. What a perfect day it was!     We augmented the LED field with lounge furniture that was also LED. The entire beach area was a canvas of artistic and unexpected lighting.                 And what a party it was! Everyone danced, sang and had the night of their lives.  Even an unconventional bride still opts for tradition - the bouquet toss was undoubtedly one of the most creative one I've seen and Jacqui's friend did an incredible job leading it.       Love this amazing shot the photographer Peach Plum Pear set up!Jacqui and Peter's celebration was truly all aglow. Felicidades and wishing you many years of illuminated love together!
