Today we’re taking a little inspiration from one of our favorite places – Cabo, Mexico. This fabulous destination wedding invitation was designed by the talented Laura Hooper of Laura Hooper Calligraphy. Inspired by the destination wedding venue, the One&Only Palmilla, Laura took the tile pattern from the property and letterpressed it into a design on the couple’s wedding invitation. Brilliant way to bring in the location to the invitation! But she wasn’t done there…
This invitation came complete in a sack tied with a hand lettered name tag for each guest! Inside was not only the invitation (in colors befitting the property and location) but a custom wedding map of the region for guests to get a feel for the area.
And possibly my favorite idea – a weather card! In this case it was sunny, sunny, sunny every day of the itinerary (which included multiple events and cards for each). Even though the weather didn’t change, it was a fun way to get guests excited about the vacation to come!
Now this is one wedding I wouldn’t miss with an invitation like this! Thanks Laura for sharing!

Dana wanted a wedding that featured her favorite colors and blended seamlessly with the natural surroundings. And so, she created just that. “The colors blue/green represented the blue sky and the green foliage, and gold represented the sun.” And the vintage luggage tag escort cards blended it all together flawlessly.
But perhaps the most original detail of this amazing event was the groom’s cake! A bottle of Patron, just right for their Mexico locale. Dana and Josue used each and every opportunity they could to make their wedding personal, travel-friendly, and fabulous!
To close out the night with a grand finale, the couple surprised their guests with a nine member mariachi band!
