Okay, how cute is this: New Orleans-based newlyweds Lauren + Tyler first met when a mutual friend brought Lauren along to Tyler’s Friendsgiving dinner. Off to an absolutely adorable start, the love story that followed led the couple to this stunning, holistic, and spiritually-in-tune destination wedding weekend in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
“We wanted the whole experience to feel intentional, and like a ceremony,” say Lauren + Tyler. “From the outset, we chose to select things according to our desires, and tried to avoid things that ‘you are supposed to do’ at a wedding. For example, there was no wedding cake, no first dance, no bridesmaids or groomsmen.”
Lauren owns a clean beauty + wellness spa and Tyler (alongside his commercial real estate firm) owns The Tell Me Bar, a natural wine bar in NOLA. So the wedding that planners + event designers from Penzi Weddings helped Lauren + Tyler put together was heavily influenced by their passions for mindfulness, healthy living, and fabulous natural wine.
“As we began to plan our wedding, we wanted to incorporate our passion for health and wellness,” the couple says. “Our Habitas San Miguel in Mexico became the natural choice for our celebration, as it includes breathwork, yoga, sound baths, beautiful nature, and quality food.”
The gorgeous photos that Ildefonso Gutierrez took throughout the weekend are proof that this ethereal, eclectic, ceremonial, destination celebration was really special, and we can’t wait to show you!
