Nicola & Luis DIY Home Wedding
Nicola & Luis DIY Wedding at their home in Pasadena, CA
Nicola & Luis wanted their wedding day to be a home fiesta where people could relax and enjoy good company, food and music together. And that's exactly what they got! A day filled with color and laughter and was perfect for them. They had the help of a lot of friends and family in decoration and planning for their big day. Several trips to downtown Los Angeles were made to purchase serape blankets and paper picao wedding banners, a 'taco guy' was hired to make the food part of the day easy and a paper flower wall was made and designed by a friend to give a colorful life to the day. Nicola's gorgeous tiara is a family heirloom which was also worn by her Mother. Nicola's mother gave her the "something blue" garter and Luis purchased the rings in Sacramento. Nicola & Luis were lucky that their home was pretty much picture perfect and big enough to host all their guests. They used the back drop of Pasadena and Pasadena City Hall for some of their formal wedding portraits. Their wedding ceremony was held in the front yard and the reception in the back yard. They had 60 guests in attendance. To celebrate Nicola's heritage they had a special guest appearance by the Pasadena Pipes and Drums which rounded out with dancing all night long. As you can see by the photos - it was definitely a DIY Home Wedding Done RIGHT with the help of family & friends. |
