A SUMMER WELCOME PARTY AT INSTITUTO ALLENDE IN SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, MEXICO

The Story: A Welcome Party True to San Miguel

Gabrielle and William welcomed guests to their San Miguel wedding in the location where her family fell in love with Mexico, at the Instituto Allende, where both Gabrielle and her Mother studied as children. Incorporating the traditions of San Miguel, such as the wedding parade, was something that Gabrielle and her mother dreamed of, but how would they make both families feel included and respect elderly guests?

The answer? Start the parade right inside in the courtyard, this way everyone could see and enjoy this beautiful celebration even if they preferred not to continue into the rustic streets of the city! Fun entertainment, witty cocktail napkins designed by the bride, great food and drinks and contemporary decor made for an unforgettable kick-off to Gabrielle and Will’s Wedding Weekend.

“No matter how many times someone says, “live in the moment” and “enjoy every moment” I think that might be impossible. The celebration flies by and is so incredibly magical but the planning is just as rewarding and fun as the celebration. If someone was debating on whether or not to hire a planner my advice to them is obviously do it. Having him as my sounding board, among so many other things kept the process interesting and flowing. ”
