were either close to LA or traveling from Mexico City. We also chose it because of its industrial vibe combined with sustainability... it demonstrates the harmony of two vastly different cultures uniting to create a distinctive and fulfilling relationship. Millwick is a relatively new venue for events, but stores a lot of history, a lot of which is preserved.

We had a stylish and energetic modern Mexican theme set out for the wedding. Instead of concentrating on colors, we'd metallic and metal accents. The table setting would be a palette mixing rose gold metallic napkins, gold chargers, and silverware. Ashley's bouquet was neutral florals with spray-painted metallic greenery.

To produce the modern Mexican vibe, we caused local artisans in Mexico City to produce the perfect handmade accents just for the wedding. They come up with metallic Moravian stars and also the tin hearts, which then Luis's parents brought inside a suitcase just days before the wedding. We used white paper Picado to line the ceremony chairs along with a metallic pinata as our guest book.

There were a lot of memorable moments, here's one of these... Luis' sister, Paulina, couldn't travel from Mexico for that wedding because she had an infant just weeks before the wedding. While thrilled for that newest addition to the family, everyone was disappointed we wouldn't share this moment with her - however, Paulina and I were built with a plan. We caused the coordinator and some of the groomsmen, and with the power of technology, Paulina was part of the bridal party. The groomsman walked down the aisle by having an iPad with Paulina on the watch's screen. She was all done up and wearing a grey dress (much like all the other bridesmaids). As he carefully carried the iPad on the aisle and Paulina waved to everyone in the crowd, tears and fulfilled hearts set the tone for the wedding ceremony. Both our families were so thrilled that Paulina and her family reached be present during the entire marriage ceremony. satin bridesmaid dresses.
