“A big Latin party never killed nobody”

If you don’t know it by now, my accent might give it away. I’m latina, so I really enjoyed going thru Renata and Jorge’s day, since they got married in El Salvador.

A typical Latin wedding might have a bigger guest list (what can I say?, we have big families!) and theirs had 380+ guests! Plus, her bridal party number was originally 20 and got went down to 16!

Join Renata and I on the 21th episode of Hey Bride Podcast to learn about her experience as a bride!

Funny Story

Planning the music with the DJ they ended up having a full-on dance party!

Bride’s Tip for a fun wedding: Invite tons of young people and have great music!

Stressful moment:

Narrowing down the guest list + The last dress fitting. – She lost so much weight with stress and diet that they needed an extra fix!

Best decision: Putting this modern dance floor – Something the groom really wanted.

Note: She had an “all black” wedding attire.

Budget advice: She used a spreadsheet from her sister’s prior wedding, which helped a lot.

What would you do differently: Not stress so much about small details, and make a good count and Bake her own sweets earlier! – She finished baking her own sweets at 3p.m. the day of.

Vendors: “I think is better to go with small vendors, because your wedding can be their biggest event of the year and will treat it like that”

Planners and apps:  Pen + Paper and Pinterest

Marriage advice: “Enjoy every little detail of every day”
