Katelind and Gustavo celebrated the one year anniversary of their elopement at The Edison in Dade City, Florida. They took formal portraits and had a beautiful reception to commemorate their marriage.
The Proposal
The couple got engaged on December 27, 2018 in Ireland at the Cliffs of Mohr. Katelind surprised Gus with a trip to Ireland for his birthday that October because they were already going to be in Iceland for Christmas. One of their friends told him before Katelind actually got to (and he still pretended to be surprised because all along he was planning the engagement for that trip in December). So Katelind planned the whole trip and Gustavo still surprised her! They eloped in the California Redwoods on March 12, 2021 (thanks COVID) and had the best, most intimate ceremony with just the two of them.
Wedding Day Vision
The day was all about celebrating with Katelind and Gustavo’s friends and family on their one-year anniversary. There was not an actual wedding ceremony. They went straight into cocktail hour when the guests arrived and then into the reception dinner, speeches, cake cutting, and dancing. The couple wanted it to be just a big party!
The colors were navy and gold with a vintage twist. Gold candle sticks with different shades of blue candles, hurricane glass, with white candles, floral centerpieces with eucalyptus, anemones, and white roses, blue thistle.
