Real Wedding Inspiration | Nancy & Alex La Fonda on the Plaza

Our first blog of the year and we are starting with a bang! Thanks to a serendipitous match on a dating app. Alex, being the keen observer that he is, couldn't help but be charmed by a photo of Nancy taking a fearless plunge from the sky. He figured if she was bold enough for skydiving, maybe she'd be just as daring in the love department. Two Zoom dates later, they decided to take the plunge into an in-person meeting at Sawmill Market. Despite Nancy setting a time limit for the date, the sparks flew so wildly that she happily tossed that plan out the window. And just like that, the New Mexico duo found themselves on a love rollercoaster that surpassed all expectations.

The grand finale of Nancy and Alex's love saga unfolded in a magical wedding at La Fonda in Santa Fe. Before saying "I do," the couple, who clearly have PhDs in romance, penned heartfelt letters and shared sweet moments during their first touch and first look. Nancy waltzed down the aisle in a jaw-dropping blush ballgown with lace that could make anyone swoon, courtesy of Eddy K Bridal. The festivities kicked up a notch with a traditional wedding parade around the Santa Fe Plaza, serenaded by a mariachi band, and sneaky snapshots in historic downtown Santa Fe. Post-vows, guests indulged in heavenly churros from The Churro Bar, sipping champagne while the St. Francis Cathedral blushed with the sunset. A big thank you to Maura Jane Photography and her beautiful blog for the love story details

In the stationery department this exquisite suite features a custom illustration of La Fonda on the Plaza, intertwined with delicate florals and adorned with deckled edges. The watercolor strokes create a dreamlike ambiance. The irregular, deckled edges provide a subtle nod to the beauty of imperfection, adding a tactile dimension to the invitation that begs to be touched and cherished.

It was more than a perfect day – it was the start of a fantastic journey for Nancy, Alex, and their adorable little sidekick. Cheers to this beautiful couple!
