Blushingly Romantic Outdoor Wedding Ceremony The couple said their vows in a beautiful clearing surrounded by lush woods while the pond in the background sparked with the light of the evening sun. Eddie and Rebekah wanted their love to be the statement piece of their wedding, so they added decor selectively with great care, working with the natural flow of their environment. The guests sat on simple white chairs that echoed the square wooden wedding arch. The bridesmaid's wine-colored dresses complemented their Romantic Marsala bouquets, echoing Rebekah's bridal flowers, adding a warm intimacy to the ceremony. A traditional catholic ritual honored the couple's cultural roots. Rebekah's rosy updo Rebekah took her commitment to Eddie and their wedding theme quite seriously. The top of her hair was carefully braided into a beautiful rose and accented with tiny white flowers. Irridescent petals flow through the free bits of her loose waves. Photo by potoksworldphotography Honoring tradition with a wedding lasso and arras The wedding lasso and arras traditions are ancient Catholic wedding rituals. In the wedding lasso ritual (also called the El Lazo ritual), the lovers are bound together with a cord, rope, or rosary, symbolizing their endless love for each other. The wedding arras is a tradition that happens after the exchange of wedding vows and the blessing of the rings, where the groom gives the bride 13 coins as a promise that he will provide for her and their future family. Rebekah and Eddie's wedding lasso was made of tiny white flowers, which looked lovely against the delicate lace embellishment of the wedding dress. As the pair were bound with their marriage lasso, their love became tangible and seemed to weave through the air.

Everything about it depicted balance, from its shape to the material to the pond that sparkles behind it. Square arches represent stability, and wood is an ode to sturdiness and the power of forever. White painted boxes bursting with lively hibiscus sat on either side of the wooden arch.

The delicate floral lace on Rebekah's wedding dress was perfectly accented by Ling's small round bridal bouquet in Romantic Marsala.

And when we say 'dance the night away,' we mean it! Hispanic culture is known to throw some seriously amazing wedding receptions. From endless dancing to a lively mariachi performance to a tasty treat table, it's not hard to see why these celebrations go well into the night! In a gorgeous tent, the lovers added Romantic Marsala flowers to elevate the reception decor without distracting from the beauty of their environment or all the love in the air. Between a sweetly uncomplicated treats table, traditional Mexican music, an absolute statement of a wedding cake, and the beauty of two families becoming one, Rebekah and Eddie's wedding was one for the books! Keep reading for all the details: Stunning outdoor decor It was important to Eddie and Rebekah that they honor their appreciation for nature throughout the day. The food and festivities were held under the tent dappled with drapery. The open drapes allowed the light from the setting sun and fresh air from the woods to flow freely through the tent. An arch decorated with Ling's Romantic Marsala arch flowers ceremoniously marked the entryway to the tent. At night, string lights artfully wrapped around the archway and the sides of the tent added a touch of fairytale magic to the reception.

Rebekah and Eddie serenaded guests with a traditional mariachi band to honor their heritage at the reception. A mariachi band consists of various musical instruments that originated in 18th-century Mexico. This type of entertainment is popular at weddings because it's upbeat and danceable, but it can also be slowed down to a romantic, sultry pace. The band played soulfully for the crowd at the reception, with the Romantic Marsala floral arch in the background.

The bridal party's floral bouquets effortlessly added on-themed wedding decor to the head table, and the simple table and chairs allowed them to be the star of the tablescape. We love this easy idea for repurposing bridesmaid bouquets for the wedding reception!

A sweets table was the perfect choice for a couple who focuses on the essential things in life but keeps a dash of romance hidden within. At Rebekah and Eddie's reception, passionate burgundy and blush roses added whimsy and drama to a simple sweets table filled with cookies and other treats, where guests could self-serve throughout the evening. Another Mexican wedding tradition Rebekah and Eddie incorporated is the use of sweet tables, also called dessert tables, laden with candies and treats. We just love this!
