Real Wedding :: Heather & Matt
For those that follow us on facebook, you are aware the we were featured on Style Me Pretty last week with this lovely wedding. I wanted to give you a little bit more backstory on one of our favorite events of last wedding season. Ever since our first meeting, it was clear that Heather was a bride with a plan. She came to our floral meetings with pages and pages of design inspiration and, since she is a local Bellingham fashionista, I knew right away that we were going to create something unique and special together. The wedding was held at the country home of the parents of the groom. The 10 acre location had a small pond, dreamy wheat fields (LOVE) and plenty of space for their group. Our good friend and talented Bellingham wedding photographer, Eldad Efendi, did an amazing job capturing all of the lovely vintage details of the day. It was truly a challenge for us to narrow down our favorites for this post.

Costa Rica Wedding with Vintage Details
We recently got the chance to work with our good friends Jessica and Jason, photographers for A Brit and A Blonde on a destination wedding in Playa Tamarindo. Crystal and Daniel are a lovely couple from Steamboat Springs, CO. Being former mountain people ourselves, we could completely relate to this couple’s down to earth approach to planning a wedding: Make it Simple and Make it Beautiful. Crystal was looking for rustic and vintage inspired details so we incorporated beach glass Mason Jars, jute burlap and driftwood.
We hope that you enjoyed this wedding. We look forward to many, many more at this mountaintop villa location.
Playa Tamarindo Wedding :: Leslie & Paul
This sweet couple from Kingston, Ontario decided to celebrate their love in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Since the bride Leslie, is also a wedding planner, we knew that this event was going to be very detailed and incredibly organized. For this event, we incorporated some of our favorite local blooms like bee hive ginger, orchids, and baby pineapple blooms . Thanks to Jonathan from Costa Vida Photography for these beautiful images from their big day.
Costa Rica Elopement: Eric & Laura
The Four Winds team recently had the pleasure to coordinate a lovely elopement for Eric and Laura at Playa Conchal, Costa Rica. Playa Conchal is definitely one of our favorite beaches in Guanacaste due to its privacy and white sand. Toh from Bidrop Photography captured these beautiful images of the lovely couple.

Costa Rica Wedding :: Mike ♥ Jenny
Today we feature the wedding our our dear friends Mike and Jenny! Being two exceptionally awesome individuals, we’ve known for years now that these two lovebirds were going to be on a long, adventure filled path together. We couldn’t have been more thrilled when they announced their engagements and requested that we plan and design their Costa Rican destination wedding. “Ummm…YES!”
Over the months that followed we found a tropical pool garden setting for the reception and scouted a secluded beach strip for their afternoon nuptials. The golden beach came to a point where waves dramatically crashed over black lava rock from both directions.
