My WONDERFUL weekend

Hugo is my cousin, he is the older one of all my cousins, he is 29 years old and he lives in Tlaxcala. Currently he works in different hospitals as a Doctor. He is an amazing person.

Fabiola is my cousin’s wife, she lives in Zacatelco, and she is 30 years old. Both are doctors, and first met at work and they fell in love.

The Hen and Stag Parties

Fabiola's hen do was a surprise organized by her sister. She was told where she would be, and on the day her friends blindfolded her and she was driven to the secret location where everyone was waiting.

Fabiola also had a 'mini hen do' with her mum and bridesmaids where they spent time dancing and eating.

Hugo’s stag was a surprise organized by our family a week out before the wedding he was told it will be a family dinner with his parents and siblings. He went to his parents’ house and when Hugo arrived all of us (cousins, aunts, uncles) were there waiting for him. Everyone on the stag do celebrated with different types of food made by all my aunts, we danced and we sang. Then all men in the meeting went to a special place to give advances to Hugo.

The Wedding Theme, Styling and Details

The wedding theme was beige and white colors with white and pink roses. Fabiola has always loved this kind of clear colors, The idea suddenly came to her that she could combine the two for this special and unforgettable day.

Most of the wedding details contained white color with pink and white flowers.

All the stationery were brown and beige.

There were different kind of favours such as small white boxes and little baskets they were decorated with little roses. The table runners were white which contrast the bright table roses.

There was also a wedding sweet table with different kind of desserts such as cupcakes, muffins, bread, cookies, mini pies and stuff like that.

                               

The Wedding Cake

Fabiola and Hugo chose a three tier cake, with two layers of chocolate cake . The cake was covered in butter cream and was a simple, rustic design, decorated with peonies and roses to match the wedding flowers

The Bride and Grooms Outfits

Fabiola's wore a classic a-line wedding dress giving it a princess look. It was the first one she tried actually she tried on about 10 others and she kept thinking about the first dress.

Hugo wore a black morning suit, with a waistcoat and cravat gray which matched the colour of the bride dress.

The Wedding Flowers

Fabiola and Hugo wanted a mix of colour, shape and size in the bouquets. They tried to pull together some amazing bouquets and arrangements, using a mix of purples, pinks, yellows and whites.

The Wedding Ceremony and Reception

The wedding ceremony took place at "The convent of San Francisco", Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, surrounded in beautiful landscaped historical places.

Many guests attended the ceremony.

After the ceremony the guests enjoyed canapés on the reception as Fabiola and Hugo had photos out of the cathedral.

The reception was in Santana Chiahutempan a town near to Tlaxcala squared in a beautiful place called “Madeiras”

The First Dance

Fabiola and Hugo first dance was to 'Baby I'm Yours' by Arctic Monkeys. They chose this song because they love the words, the band are from Yorkshire, and they like that it is an old love song with a modern twist.

"I haven't been to many weddings before but no one like this.This was a real Wedding for inspiration."
